desperate sheild

[jennywren]

can any one help, a customer is desperate for a wall sheild, I hope to upload a picture of this if not can you please look in the gallery. the sheild is 5.7 inches high and at its widest point it is 4.7 inches I need a template with a guide and how do I put a picture on it so it looks ok,.it looks like mdf with a white coaster effect on the front for printing. I got it of subli supplies ages ago, How long and temp please. I'll have to put it in the gallery so you can look, I'll be on msn most of the night it that helps [email:31yue40a]abigails.china@live.co.uk[/email:31yue40a]

It sounds to me like it has the same surface as the Photoluxe products. I used to print the small rectangular plaques which should be the same.
Looking on Xpres poster guide it says 200c for 50 secs (please check the poster in Gallery pics)

I use to tape the image around the plaque to stop it moving and ghosting.

Good Post Justin,
Anyone know if there is a Heat Transfer blanks supplier in the UK as I also have a pigment ink setup in mothballs in the attic :D

[Justin]

Are your inks installed Goldrapt? Only reason I ask is sublimation inks ned to be exercised regularly to avoide blockages. What system is it?

I will post links to UK suppliers.

I've just uploaded an outline into your gallery, take a quick look. This is based upon a standard shield template but done to your measurements. Looking at yours in appears slightly different shape but I've found one that may be closer.

Justin :-)

[jennywren]

What a nightmare but in the end I did a rectacle and put the image in it, and it worked, never again I hate rush jobs its for a pub thats opening Wednesday but wanted it monday morning and the art work was a fiddle, hours of work but at least if anyone asked again it should prove straight forwared, many thanks for the time all of you have put in to help me.

[Justin]

Were the frame outlines no good?

[jennywren]

the frame was slight smaller than I needed I made it bigger but when I went to layer it it was two and half of inches smaller. but unlayered it was the right size and having a long day I did the best I could. Any ideas how I made it smaller by flatten it.

[Justin]

It prob had an invisible layer around it, I just posted them ther quickly to get an idea what you wanted.

Let me know if you need something better and I will sort it.

Cheers,
Justin :-)

[jennywren]

Et was invisible, I did'nt see it :D I you have with out the extra layer

[Justin]

I can send the outline in whatever format you need, just let me know and I'll post it up.
