Just a FYI, I did a sublimation directly on a bamboo laminated cutting board by sanding the factory finish off and applying directly to the wood, then applying a sealant afterward. The ink penetrated very nicely. I have an Epson ET2803, started new with Hiipoo Sublimation ink (they sell it with the correct fittings to fill the ET tanks), A-sub paper and a Vevor 5-in-1 heat press. No prep coating was used.

This is fabulous! I love the added tutorial on how to split the southwest image - It helped soothe my feeling like I'm "missing out" by not having a 13 x 19 printer, haha. I'm thinking the Subli Glaze is going to be the way I go. Just to double check, because I would LOVE to be able to knock out two different projects with one product... Would the Subli Glaze be suitable to sublimate onto wall art canvases as well?

love this idea. can you paint the wood first then add the primer?

@DesignBundles Жыл бұрын

Yes you can! It is possible to paint wood and then apply a sublimation coating on top, but the results may vary depending on the type of paint and coating used. It is essential to use a paint that can withstand high temperatures, as the sublimation process typically involves heating the substrate to high temperatures (around 400F). Additionally, the paint should be completely dry and cured before applying the sublimation coating, as any moisture or solvents in the paint can affect the adhesion and curing of the coating. - Agata

Temperature was 380 for 30 seconds pressure was medium at a 5. Was the pressure too much, the temperature too high, the time too long. I'm confused.

@DesignBundles Жыл бұрын

Hi John. Hairspray may be used as a temporary fixative for sublimation inks, but it is not specifically designed for that purpose and may not provide consistent or long-lasting results. It is typically recommended to use a specialized sublimation coating or pretreatment solution, which is specifically formulated to work with sublimation inks and provide optimal results. - Agata
