Sublimating on canvas

[W3sty3oy]

Hey guys, I'm trying out some sublimated canvas prints basically the pic looks amazing on screen and when printed but when i put it on the canvas it looks faded .

I'll try to attach some pics at first I thought maybe printed on the wrong side of the canvas but the smoother side must be the print side, anyone offer any help would be great .

What sort of canvas is it? it needs to be 100% Polyester to get the clearest image. I pressed some canvas yesterday and it looks superb but it is 100% Polyester, sounds like yours might not be?

What time and temp?

Justin, I solved the problem I done a few test prints and weirdly the smooth side is the back so i was printing on the wrong side.

If it's 100% poly, then both sides should be printable

Look for proper wholesale suppliers of fabrics - avoid paying the sublimation tax on something that just needs to be a roll of 100% poly - you will also find much nicer, higher quality fabrics this way.
