I'm not exactly sure where to post this but here seems the best place.
We're a canvas studio and are new to the sublimation industry. We are currently using a Ricoh printer and paper for our mugs, which went down well over Christmas and gave us our first taste of sublimation printing. We have purchased a Stahl's 400x500 flatbed swing arm heat press, mug press and a 3D oven and have ordered number of products from different suppliers (i.e. 2/3D phone cases, subliglass mouse mats, etc.) My worry is that we had to purchase the products from a number of different suppliers and the quality of said products may not be consistent. We would like some help, if possible, from other users who have more experience from suppliers of all things sublimation related. We don't want to make any expensive mistakes in regards to bad/poor quality products (including paper, inks, etc.)
i.e does anybody have any tips on using the 3D vacuum press? is it better to use sublimation film for 3D sub printing?
We would love to have a hear from more experienced people and would greatly appreciate some help.
We are very experienced in canvas and photographic printing and anyone who needs help in this area please contact us and we'd be more than happy to help.
Kind regards,
Joe
