The 9cm raw back coasters from Xpres do not have a protective film but the cork back coasters do have a film so this may be the case with the Listawood stock too.
I upgraded my website yesterday to a secure connection. If you have cloud hosting then many hosts have an option to add a secure connection using Let's Encrypt which is free. It's quite simple to...
I've tried it on white tiles and the results were pretty good. The only downside is it's time consuming. I did one generous coat and then let it dry to touch and then baked in the oven to cure. I...
Hi Jay, I'm fairly newish and have found so much great information on this forum.
My all time fave album is Aladdin Sane by David Bowie closely followed by What's Going On by Marvin Gave, Marquee Moon by Television, Looking Through the Windows by the Jackson Five, Pearl by Janis...
I bought coasters this afternoon so my enquiry was about a repeat order of coasters in the future. But, yes, would be good to know if others have any info.
I've just placed an order with Xpres and they said that the DSF discount code will continue as usual after next week despite the price rises. She seemed very sure of this and even asked another...
Hi and welcome. I am glad I found this forum too. Good luck with your projects.
Great post and useful replies too - have learnt a lot today!
I am a newbie and after a bit of research I decided to play it safe. I bought a Ricoh 3110 with Sawgrass inks and TruPix paper and the results exceeded my expectations. I am hoping my project will...
I seem to have solved my cloudy coaster problem. I am pre-pressing for around 10 to 15 seconds with paper underneath and on top. Then left to cool and then printing as normal (190c at 65 seconds)....
Thanks for your replies, much appreciated.
I am new to whole dye sub printing lark. All started well with printing coasters and I was very impressed with the colour quality. However, a couple of coasters I printed today looked a bit cloudy...
Just to say that I phoned Dye Sublimation Supplies who were very helpful and they confirmed that a film is on the coasters. It was a bit difficult to get it off but I've now got the knack of doing...
Thanks for the reply, spongerobinson, I will investigate further.
I've just ordered my first batch of cork backed coasters - only 30 to start with. My printer is due to arrive tomorrow so haven't actually printed anything as yet.
I was not sure what to expect...
I use Windows 7 on my laptop and works fine so I won't be upgrading to anything. I've tried upgrades on a previous computer and it ended up running a lot slower as the newer OS used more resources. ...
Yes, the large image libraries make huge amounts of money by suing people for using their stuff for commercial ventures without paying. A friend of a friend used an image he found on Google to use...
Thanks for all the welcomes. @James990, I'm in south east London.
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately their tiles are not the size I am looking for. I have looked at the Megauk.com site and they have roughly what I am looking for. It's a question of cost and...
I've yet to find a supplier of small (4 inch square) coated tiles. Still looking though but am also considering coating my own if I go the sub route.
Has anyone tried the Mugs n More heat transfer paper on ceramic tiles?
I am looking to transfer onto ceramic tiles and am not sure whether to go the sublimation route or the laser route. This...
Hi everyone.
Really glad I found this forum as I am completely new to sublimation and will shortly be buying a Ricoh printer with Sublijet dye inks.
Previously I have been making tile...
