Hi Everyone,

I'm new to all this printing I have a Richo 3110DN and a vacuum oven. I was wondering is it possible to print straight to plastic such as a TV Remote? Or do all sublimation items have a film or something to allow printing on to them.

Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance.

It depends on the plastic type as to whether it will take the ink, and not melt under the heat.
Best way to find out is to try it.

Hi Pisquee,

Thanks for the reply Ive found out the plastic is Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene

EDIT:

Ah it has a melting point of 105c so not possible. Thanks anyways
