<t>They look very good, I bet you're happy with those. I only have 4.5mm & 10mm clear acrylic as I can get large off cuts for free! I will be supplying her with an image this week I hope so I'll add a colour chart to that, it will be interesting to see what comes back. She uses 'Texprint ...

<r>I don't have a sub printer etc at the moment, I purchased a couple of A4 sheets for testing purposes from somebody that does sublimation on a regular basis (not acrylic though). I did another test piece since my last post at 170C for 400 seconds and for arguments sake it's identical. I chose the ...

<t>I have carried out some more testing and have found that 185C for 220 seconds appears to be the best at this stage however I'm not certain so attached is an image of the original sublimation and the sublimated image onto the back of a piece of 10mm clear acrylic. Is the faded image what I should ...

<t>Thanks for the link. I have read all of it and found it very interesting especially the temps & times, hopefully I'll have time to try more testing today. I have very little control over the sublimated images & paper because I don't have my printer set up yet so I pay to have the A4 pages printed ...

I gave it four goes;<br/>
180C for 180 seconds<br/>

185C for 200<br/>

I haven't done any sublimation at this stage but have read quite a bit. I would like to get things right before I rush out and purchase the wrong equipment. I'll try not to be a pest & will help if/when able. Cheers.
