If you sub UnisubFR with the image on the bottom, you will need extra time to get the heat through the material. The accepting surface needs to reach 400* for a certain time.
If not enough time the colors may be a little off and it will not have the pop because too much ink is on the paper and not in the product.

For sure I'm going to Unisub metal though.

Hi Mike,
Unisub is properly done at 400 degrees for 60 seconds through the back. Aluminum conducts heat very efficiently, and it works just as well front or back with the temps and times.....Adding a pad can change the times however....so that will have to be accounted for.....

Thanks, I'm getting closer. Just need to tweak it a bit.
