Hello,
I do sublimation printing into acrylic and wondered if anyone knows a better way to remove the layer left behind from the paper? I used to use propan2ol, but since switching to a better paper, this does not take the layer off.
It makes the images look cloudy instead of sharp and shiny.
Thanks

Cannot help you there but where do you get your acrylic from.
generally ebay as some suppliers demand large orders. Depends what work I am doing.
Paper doesn't stick like that to the photo acrylic blocks. Are your coated?
All I know is that I am printing onto sublimation paper and attaching it to the acrylic/ perspex sheet with heat resist tape. Also, today for some reason (and I havent changed any settings) I have noticed that the images arent printing properly. When I take them out they look like they have needed more time in there, if I leave them longer the acrylic starts to lose shape and melt? I never had this problem before so am confused about what is hapening.
I didn't think you could sublimate directly to standard Perspex sheets as there is nothing for the sublimation ink to bond with, hence why acrylic blocks are specially coated.
Maybe thats part of the problem. Can you buy spray coatings? Might help
So, have you had any success sublimating onto standard acrylic bought off ebay ?
