Sublideck alternatives

[iantaylor197]

Hello, What alternatives are there to the Sublideck for printing phone cases?

Does anyone have recommendations for different machines that they use?

Thank you.

We have several of these machines and have also imported a couple of larger machines.

We've been printing phone cases for a number of years and to be completely honest there's is nothing to match the Sublideck. That said, it does have it's limitations and cannot print the largest newer phone models.

We offer a fullfilment service if this would ever be of use to you. We can help with supplying blank cases, film, jigs etc. if you want to continue printing yourself.

When we started out we used fulfillment companies. We bought all the equipment and set up our own so that tells you everything you need to know :-)

There is one machine that I think sort of matches it although there are pros and cons to that machine. It is called the ST3042 sublimation machine. Belwo are the pros and cons I can think of...

PROS
Cheaper
Will print other items
Can print the larger newer models (assuming you have the correct jig)
Can print using paper as well as film

CONS
Not as well made (bit of an understatement!)
You will need to source some spare parts from China
Takes longer to print

In terms of quality of the print I think they are both around the same. As I do not use film to print I can not comment on if film is better than paper.

If you were only interested in phone cases get the Sublideck. Its built for the job and does it well, although the problem with the larger phone cases would be an issue for me.

Other alternatives to Sublideck for printing phone cases include InkThread, Vistaprint, Zazzle, and Printify. But the best is still Sublideck.

Sublideck is a machine, Vistaprint etc. are print services.

If OP is still looing to print phone cases give me a shout.
