Re: Iphone covers in a oven

Please let me know what machine can sublimate phone covers in 1.5 minutes. If your talking about the machine in my original post what are you cranking the temperature up to?

Re: Iphone covers in a oven

Hyraxx, this maybe a silly question but do you let your phone covers air dry or do you dunk them in water to stop the sublimation process? I've seen youtube videos with both methods.

Re: Newbie to sublimation mug printing

When producing numerous mugs I'm putting the blank mug in the blanket in between mugs until it hits the correct temperature and then starting the timer. Is this the standard process?

Re: Iphone covers in a oven

The machine has a silicon membrane. Hyraxx has mentioned 190c and to set the timer for 10 minutes so I will give this a try later today. Thanks again for the help.

Re: Iphone covers in a oven

180C for 7 minutes works well but the sides are fading. I presume this has something to do with the pressure, will need to move the printing tools around on the tray to find the best location.

Re: Iphone covers in a oven

The manufacturer told us 180C for 3 minutes for iphone covers but the results are poor and the image comes out faded. I will try 180C for 6 minutes today and let you know how it goes.

Re: Iphone covers in a oven

<t>Does anyone on here make iphone covers using sublimation printing and then placing the cover in an oven with pressure? Some sites call this process 3d as the image bleeds over the edges so there is 100% coverage. I’m looking for some feedback on heat and time settings for best results. Also are ...

Re: Newbie to sublimation mug printing

Sorry Paul, I should of explained better. Yes, the colours are dull as they should be but there is more detail on the print than on the finished product. I will adjust the pressure and see how much differance this makes.
