Hi everyone, new here.
We've been trading with transfers for a couple of years now and have just taken the leap into sublimation. The plan was to all over print on cushions/pillows as well as the Mermaid/Sequin cushions too (40x40cm).
So far though , we've getting super inconsistent results, to the point where we've had to pull our items from sale.
The zipper is the main issue, if the whole cushion isnt level when pressed the print ends up with random white patches going through it.
The best results we had so far was using ironing board felt cut to shape and then inserted, gave us great results for all of 2 prints until the felt begain to crease, giving the next cushion white crease Mark's throughout the print. We also tried to wrap it in teflon, however the prints still come through.
Our last idea was to order some High Density Foam (the stuff they use in furniture) and cut to shape, the logic being is that its heat proof and cant crease, although this hasnt arrived yet so we cant share the results.
If anyone has ANY suggestions we're willing to give them a go. I know this can be done, I've seen numerous sellers on ebay etc using this method, I just dont know how they're doing it!
