Re: Watch Straps

I've been asked if I can produce printed watch straps, but having no joy finding anything. I've seen velcro watchstraps before, but I'm unsure if they can be polyester or suitable for dye sub?

Re: Shower curtains

Has anyone ever tried subbing on to shower curtains? I see 100% polyester ones around and just wondered... I suppose there's no real reason it shouldn't work?

Re: Sublimation Dark T-Shirt Transfer paper

<r>Does anyone have any tips for using this stuff? Have spoiled a good few items today trying to get it to work for me. I've been finding that once printed (before pressing) it's kind of powdery and the slightest touch brushes off some of the ink.<br/>

Myhermes.co.uk do packets up to 1kg for £3 including VAT if you drop it off at a local shop (similar to collect+). Have had no problems with them.

Re: Webbing

I was looking into making belts with customised designs. I'm not really sure it's possible to achieve, but just researching it.

Re: Webbing

Well I got a metre of polypropylene just to test it, and it doesn't take sublimation at all (and I was afraid it might melt in the press). I guess I'll just try the polyester webbing when I can get some and see what happens.

Re: Webbing

Hello everyone

Just wondered if anyone had tried sublimating onto Polyester webbing, and what results you got from it?

Also I notice that webbing normally comes in either polyester and polypropylene - does polypropylene take sublimation print well?

Re: Double printing mugs

Has anyone tried to sublimate a second time on a mug - i.e. add more to a mug that's already been printed? Was wondering if it's possible, and if so, what kind of results were obtained if there was an overlap between the first and second print?
