  2. Duplicate the design several times and print it sheet by sheet onto sublimation paperusing a sublimation printer.
  3. Cut the sheet into individual strips.
  4. Place the first piece of gift ribbon onto the transfer press and position a strip of sublimation paper straight on top of it.
  5. Carry out the pressing process (approx. 200°C, 20 seconds), then remove the sublimation paper.
  6. Move the ribbon along and carry out further sublimation processes.
  7. Done.
