Does anyone have any tips for avoiding heat tape pressure marks when pressing mousepads? I usually tape my sublimation paper to my mousepads in each of the four corners to keep it in place, but I've...
Cheers. :)
The Xpres mats are pretty white! Tried a batch already. Really good, but don't forget to pre-press them at high pressure for about 15-20 secs to make the edges neater.
Thanks for the reply. I'll check out the 3M 75 spray shortly. I want it mainly to use on mousepads as some of my designs have a lot of straight edges that I need to line up very carefully. Taping the...
Does anyone know of a UK alternative to AlbaChem Eco Mist Spray Adhesive? I can't find that product on any of the suppliers I've checked.
Thanks for the info, Paul. What would you suggest as a good amount of time/temperature, seeing as my normal pressing with TruePix Paper is 30 seconds once my press has reached180C?
Oh? That's good to know. Might give that a go.
JFI, here's the actual paper I bought:

Can't figure this one out!
I usually use TruePix Classic to sublimate my mugs, but I decided to buy a couple of packs of pre-cut TextPrint-R paper to save time cutting to size. Now for some...
Because I don't want to waste ink.
Does anyone have a face mask template I could use for the style of face masks sold at Listawood, please? The printable size as quoted on their site is 20x14cm.

I've been sublimating mouse pads for a while now. No major problems so far (touch wood) especially if I pre-press the pads at a high pressure for 15-20 seconds first (really helps with the edges).

That'll be a no comment then!
I read a post in a thread about reducing sticking and rough edges on cloth mouse mats. Here's the thread link:

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to actually do it. I was just curious at what heat/time a blank mug could be spoiled.
I generally give my mug (10/11oz) bases about a 15-20 second heat up at about 140c before pressing them at 180c for 30 seconds and it seems to work well for me. This made me curious about just how...
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I have a custom print size setting. I might experiment with some standard A3 I have lying around before I waste any money on a pack of A3 sub paper.
First time I've seen this. A spray that supposedly allows sublimation to 100% cotton t-shirts:

Thanks for the info.
Is the quality of most sublimation mouse mats much the same or are there brands/suppliers better than others? I'm currently considering these ones from Listawood:

I've got a Sawgrass SG400 A4 printer and I want to print to some papers to sublimate to some Chromablast aluminium panels. The problem is, the panels are slightly longer (about an inch or so) than a...
Thanks for your info and advice everyone.
I've decided to buy either the Stahls/Hotronix Maxx or the Adkin Studio heat press, both 38x38cm.
Can anyone who has experience of these presses recommend one over the other and if so, why? The...
I'm thinking about getting into sublimation printing, mainly as a hobby but with the possibility in future of selling mugs and t-shirts. I'll invest in a heat press at a later date, but for now I've...
