    Testing Wilko's new 'sublimation' paper

    Our local Wilko's had a new budget A4 paper in this week so I bought some. I only bought it to print out some leaflets to hand out at markets and craft shows.

    At £3.75 for 500 sheets it's cheap enough.

    It's a bit quiet today so I thought I'd see what it was like as a sublimation transfer so got one of my old sub-standard mugs out to test it on.

    Looks pretty good. Certainly good enough for mass market items which uses vectors or artwork rather than photographs or complex colour gradients. I haven't tried it on a lot of items or with photo reproduction but it's good to know I've got a cheap stand by if I run out of 'proper' sublimation transfer paper :)

    The mug is from signwordz - I could not use it normally because of some iregularities and discolouration inside the mug - cooked in a heatpress for 180 seconds.
