    Options for sublimating ceramic plates . . .

    Good morning. I am new to this industry.
    Hopefully some of you could help . . .

    I understand you can sublimate a ceramic plate using a 3D oven etc . . .

    However I also understand you can invest is a special plate press. My question: is it possible to get some attachments or gizmos that would work with my standard A3 swing-away flat press?
    If the oven is the preferred option, which oven is best ( also where is best to source same) and do I require those special wraps for same? And if the stand alone plate press is best, where is best place to source?
    Overall what's the wise move here?

    Do note that any sublimation plate is purely decorative and cannot be used for eating off with cutlery.

    Hi there, I have been experimenting on creating ornamental baby plates - using a swing away press with the plate attachment. The best result I found was heating the plate first and using a silicone baking sheet overlaid on your design when you press. My only one problem was a shadow of the heat transfer paper appearing when you view the design from the side. Nothing major but I would prefer it wasn't there.
