    PVC - has anyone tried sublimating onto it?

    Boards - before anyone says anything, not (ahem ..... clears his throat) PVC material but PVC Plastic Boards.

    I was wondering if the PVC Credit Card blanks would sublimate as they are printed with a thermal printer that also prints using a sublimation process.

    I was going to order a few cards to see but thought I might ask my fellow 'dyesublians' here first (that's plural for a plethra of DSF Members - well, it might be, but I made it up!)

    i think so.

    as sublimation print on plastic is bit different. as heat dont hit plastic directly. only ribons. but i may be wrong as usual lol :D

    Ok - glad I asked. I wasn't sure if it would or not.

    I have seen credit cards and such that are customised and thought these may work - probably not as the heat would be about 190* for 40-60 seconds (compared to plastic sub items).

    You know where you can get plastic credit cards that can be sublimated? I have seen the metal ones but not plastic?
