Worst fabrics for showing press marks?
Frog:
My vote is Rayon, and its variant Modal.
So much so, that I warn clients insisting on these fabrics beforehand.
3Deep:
Same question, I just press a 100% poly shirt with dye sub inks for my wife and the press mark looks real bad, didn't someone have an answer for this? I know it has something to do with crushing the fabric, we are still pretty green when it comes to sublimation.
Dottonedan:
Use one of those pillow cushions they sell for this. Give sit some room to get compressed but not leave the pressure marks.

just so you know sublimation is not really about pressure but time and heat. when we press shirts with a sublimation print we use 22lbs(very light) and 386 degrees at 35 secs. your time and temp may vary but your paper should just be a very small tint of brown to much and to much time still white and not all the ink has dyed; when you peel it off

I have 5 or 6 of those in assorted sizes, but they don't seem to really help me with the heat platen marks, especially on Rayon. Use them mostly to even out and reduce the increased pressure and resulting effect of raised seams and such.
