Please forgive me if this is in the wrong section.

Basically if i'm using a standered a3 size press and i want to sublimate a bigger area, can you repress sections that have already sublimated or would it gas out the design? Is there anything you can cover a area already printed to protect it, can you get the colours consitant or am I just looking for trouble.

What results have people had thanks again .

I think that about sums it up! :-)

If there are definite longitudinal gaps in your artwork then you may get away with pressing in sections, but obviously won't work with many designs.

What about in general if you have a sublimated graphic and it is imprinted, could you print near this, say i was to make into.my design a small blank area to overlap, how would the imprinted image react?

Not sure with fabrics but I know you can’t with mugs.
