Universal Woods ChromaLuxe Table Tops Operator's manual

MATERIALS NEEDED (for sublimation):
• Blank ChromaLuxe Table Top
• Sublimation Printer (RIP Printing Software)
• Heat press (Heat Gloves, Heat Tape &
Tape Dispenser)
• Poly Fabric (to help wick away moisture)
• Blowout Paper
• Nomex Pad
• Cloth for cleaning surface
• All purpose cleaner/rubbing alcohol
SUBLIMATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Peel film o table top, and clean the coated surface with a cloth.
2. Place transfer paper flat on a table and line up blank surface of the table
top within the boundaries of the bleed. Wrap edges of transfer paper (just
two of the sides - see Figure 1-2) around to the back of the table top and
tape the edges to the back.
3. Follow Figure 1-1 to layer each material on the heat press. Start with the
Nomex Pad at the base of the heat press. Add each layer as shown,
completing the set up with a poly fabric layer to wick away moisture and
distribute heat evenly. (Extra tip as seen in Figure 1-3: Pull fabric tight and
use four large magnets to attach poly fabric to the top platen of the heat
press. Switch out monthly for best results).

Tip for Handling Table Bowing
1. There will typically be a small amount of bowing on the sublimated side of the table. If the table is not
completely flat after it has cooled for about 24 hours (see Figure 2-2), place a fresh sheet of blowout paper
beneath the table top (with sublimated surface facing down).
2. Place both back in the heat press for another 30-50 seconds at the same temperature and pressure as
before. This time on this second pressing is critical because if you don’t press it long enough it won’t
become flat; if you press it for to long it will begin to bow the opposite way, away from the sublimated
surface. Because each heat press and environment is dierent, managing table bowing will be dierent
for everyone.
3. After pressing upside down, let it cool on a large sheet of paper on a cool surface with the sublimated side
facing up.

SUBLIMATION INSTRUCTIONS Continued.
4. Line the table top up in the center of the heat press and press at 325 degrees F for 7 minutes
and 30 seconds at 60-70 psi (pounds per sq. inch).
5. After pressing, remove transfer from the table top. Once the table top is cool enough to
touch, lay table top on a clean sheet of paper on a cool surface (like a concrete floor) with the
sublimated side facing up. Allow to fully cool for 24 hours or until completely cool.
6. Order a table base at tablebases.com and follow the assembly instructions to assemble a
general table base. (General table base instructions are included in this tip sheet).
