I am also using the Surecolour P600 with a continuous ink system and Inktek Sublinova inks from Ink Experts. I have found it to give good and consistent results, even for a beginner at sublimation....
Lion Picture Framing Supplies also have them. I have bought them in the past, and the quality was good. They do have a minimum order though.
I do like the rubber stamp idea. I have spent some time looking on google for the "Holy Grail" of indelible, quick drying and dishwasher safe ink, and haven't yet found anything that would fit the...
I have now had the chance to do some further work on this.
I think the original problem was not enough pressure. I can now get consistent coasters without the light/patchy/cloudy areas, which is...
Yes I am. I did make a couple of mistakes, and virtually no ink transferred, so I just turned them over and re-pressed them. I can see a definite increase in the depth of colour in the image as I...
Thanks for all your suggestion to address this issue.
Well, I have done some more experiments, and made some progress, but not fully solved yet.
To try to ensure there was no moisture on the...

If you are printing in Photoshop, you may want to try checking the "black point compensation" tick box in the printer dialogue. As I understand it, this should ensure that a pure black in the...
I am looking to start my sublimation printing learning curve with some coasters, and have a couple of questions:
1. Has anybody printed with both Unisub hardboard backed coasters and MDF (black...
Hi Alex,
Your website looks good and loads quickly.
I am planning to order a printer package and some paper from you. Can I use the DSF premium member code on the website, or does that have to...
It was good to see you at the show today Justin. it is always good to be able to put a face to people you only normally deal with online. I also appreciate the advice you gave me.

I am planning to visit either Sunday or Monday. does anybody with experience know which day is likely to be busier? (I would probably come on the quieter day).
£16 is steep for parking, but it...
Its a pity you aren't closer to me, because that printer could be of interest. However, shipping a bulky printer with a CISS attached from Bournemouth to Yorkshire without the some sort of mishap...
Hi Alex,
I have had a read through this thread and found it very interesting.
I am researching an A3 printer at the moment, and was looking at the SG800. However, the fact that it only uses 4...
I will come along and say hello Justin.
I had considered using a third part printer. However, I think I will have a quite large range of designs, and will not initially know which ones will sell....

I have spent some time looking around the various posts, and am...
