Assignment: Using the proper procedure, create an object to be sublimated. Any file that does not meet the proper criteria, will not be sublimated. You will use the following setup sizes for the given objects.
Actual Size: The actual size of the object to be sublimated or the size of the area to be sublimated.
Bleed: The extra area added onto the object, so that it can be completely covered by your image. You DO NOT want to put anything important in the bleed area (Text, etc).
File Size: The size that you need to set the canvas to be for each item.
Seam: An area that cannot be printed or will not print as nicely because of the method of printing.
