Sublimation Ghosting: Causes, Checks & Prevention
Identify transfer movement/recontact and related causes.
Open the connected tool
Recognize the symptom
Ghosting is a faint duplicate or offset edge beside the intended image. That visual clue is more useful than beginning with a random temperature adjustment.
Check movement first
Inspect whether the transfer shifted during pressing or while it was removed from the hot blank. Secure it using the method allowed by the product instructions.
Use clean protective paper
Residual dye on reused protective paper can transfer during heating and create an unwanted second mark.
Change one thing at a time
Use the troubleshooter to follow evidence-backed checks, apply the least disruptive fix, then repeat a controlled test.
