What characteristics of material that makes sublimation blanks

Making your own blanks for imprinting in dye sublimation involves coating hard substrates. Once coated, the substrate will accept dye sublimation ink during a heating process. A soft substrate does not require a coating but has specific requirements for accepting sublimation ink under a heat press. The substrate must be polyester or a blend of synthetic materials. Purchase blanks ready to imprint or in bulk rolls for custom design.


Fill the paint sprayer with a clear polyester coating. Attach the sprayer to an air compressor to apply the coating to the selected substrate. Common substrates for use in the dye sublimation process are fiberglass re-enforced plastic (FRP), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and ceramic tile. Since you are making your own blank, the substrate should be uncoated.


Spray one coat of the liquid polyester onto the surface of the substrate. Allow to completely dry before applying a second coat. Do not touch the coated substrate. Allow at least two hours for the coating to completely dry. Apply a second coat.

Test the product after the two coats of polyester liquid are dry. This is required. For example, imprint an image onto the finished substrate using a heat press with even, firm pressure. Or introduce the imprinted substrate into the environment it is intended for. If you are coating a "dishwasher safe" ceramic coffee mug, run the product through a dishwasher. If you are creating outdoor signs onto FRP, place a few samples of the finished product outside for several days.


Some items may require several coatings before an acceptable image will imprint. Experiment with heat press timing, temperature and pressure to achieve the best results.

How to Avoid Blotchy Results Occurred in Sublimation Process

图片
B lotches and spots in your transfers can happen   at any time  and anywhere . T his is a problem generally caused by excess moisture in the environment or on the substrat e. Left : Perfect transfer result.  Right : Blotches and spots in a poor paper Common   sublimation materials like polyester fabric, hardboard, plastic and even metal materials like aluminum and stainless steel can  be sublimated, and w hat happens when there is moisture on a substrate? When water is heated ,  it turns into steam vapor which starts to escape upward , however, since dye-sublimation ink also turns into a gas, the steam vapor from the areas that have even the smallest amounts of moisture clash with the sublimation gas which will  prevent a full and consistent transfer . So how to resolve this blotchy results ? The quick solution is to pre-press substrates immediately before applying & heat pressing the sublimation transfer. Pre-pressing is done by placing the item in the heat press, coverin

Stains and spots on Sublimation: Why the spots occur and how to solve

Almost daily we receive queries such as: "In my sublimations white dots appear," "When sublimate colored spots appear", "Why leave when sublimate colored dots?". It is a fairly common problem in this post will look at the possible causes and how we can implement a solution. Cup with colored dots on Sublimation Use quality materials It is the basis for a good result, so you must ensure that all materials guarantee professional results. 1. Sublimation inks : Use quality inks to achieve rich, vivid colors, sharp contours and durability in your prints. 2. Sublimation Paper : Paper is a very important time to ensure that the ink transfer element is performed correctly. If you use a low quality paper chances are your design run out of ink in some areas and causing white spots appear brighter areas. 3.Customizable: It is essential that the rigid blank product you go to sublimate have an polyester coating quality as our new cup Infinity

How to print shirts with a sublimation printer and sublimation paper

The sublimation is a fantastic technique customization that allows you to create personalized gifts with maximum image quality a fantastic finish and all with a minimum investment . With a team of A4 sublimation you can create a wide range of customized products for your business, as we present in one of our previous posts . Clearly you can stamp your shirts sublimation printer but have to be of polyester and white or light colored .  Sublimation takes place in two steps : First you have to print your design on   sublimation paper  using your sublimation printer equipped with dye sublimation ink  secondly you have to apply heat and pressure with a heat press machine to transfer the design from paper to sublimable shirt or object. It is in this second step wherein sublimation, that is the chemical process in which heat and pressure deposited on the printed paper, inks become gas and actually takes place penetrate the polyester fiber . Therefore, to sublimate a f
