Good evening everyone,
I am writing this post to go through what I need to initiate a custom tile printing business. Basically I want to design tiles on Adobe Photoshop, and print on ceramic tiles. This is how I stumbled upon the world of Ceramic Printing. Here are the requirements I wish to have:
1) Good quality prints
2) Durable (non scratch-able or heat effected) tiles
After a week of research this is the set-up I am thinking to buy:
1) Printer - Epson L3160 / ET 2720
2) Ink - IUBEST Sublimation Ink - https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08...I44DJ9JY&psc=1
3) Heat Press - Sfeomi 5 in 1 press - https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08...FOXR1FCH&psc=1
4) Sublimation Paper - https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07...KR8XB7XF&psc=1
5) Heat pad, teflon sheet, heat tape - https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08...XAZDPN97&psc=1
For tiles I am thinking to get these blanks:

2) https://getprintsupplies.co.uk/produ...ile-blank.html
Since I want the prints to be durable, will sublimation be enough? Or should I be covering the tiles with some kind of clear top coat to finish & protect?
Am I missing something else? Do you think this set-up will lead me in the right direction? Any tips?
Looking forward to your esteemed feedback, I am in dire need of it! :)
Kind Regards,
Bernard
