Sublimation FoilMany plastics such as PVC, Foam Board and Acrylics become tacky when sublimated causing sublimation paper to stick. The new Mega Sublimation Foil removes those issues. Print on the dull side and some experimentation in temperature and time may be required for your plastics but detailed below are examples of actual successful results we achieved. As with sublimating any plastic place something cold and heavy on the material after it comes out of the press to stop any deformation whilst cooling. Available in A4 and A3 sheets. |

Mega Special Sublimation paper
 |
Our slowest drying and highest ink release paper. It is essential to use with 'soft' plastics such as foam board, business cards and vacuum forming plastics as the paper will not stick to the heated plastic. Print on the side without the watermarks. |
Note : When printing with SG400 and SG800 printers we recommend the Virtuoso Power Driver is used with the Advanced Photo Setting. This will slow down the paper speed through the printer allowing more drying time. Even so, some bleeding should be expected so the design would benefit from being oversized. The design can then be trimmed prior to sublimating to remove any ink bleed onto the white paper.
