Evening everyone,

We are a small but growing sublimation business. We are getting requests for canvases.

Is there anybody here that would be able to supply them?

Many thanks

I've been sublimating photos to pre-stretched framed cotton canvasses for quite a long while. There are photos on DSF somewhere. They have been very popular and much more vibrant colours than ordinary inkjet to canvas. Also there's the advantage that they are 100% waterproof. Something that has been handy at an outdoor market more than once :-)

How can you be sublimating to cotton? and it be waterproof? Also how do sublimate it being pre stretched?
Many questions, sorry
Many thanks

No Problem. Three or four years ago I accidentally discovered a way to sublimate permanently onto cotton. Been hot washing and hot tumble drying those shirts ever since. There are photos on DSF. But because I was told it was impossible I didn't write what I did, and it was only AFTER I discovered the print was not washing out of two of the experiments i tried to reproduce the process. But I can't remember one of the steps.

Anyway it is impractical, and polyester is much better for my market, which is predominately active sportswear.

I'm just using the materials I used on the cotton to treat the canvas. They are by nature water, and therefore ran resistant, and because I am not washing the canvas in hot water and hot tumble drying it, I have my sublimated prints.

I can't find the big pic of this but here's a thumbnail of a sublimated print of a photo I took at home one night as the sun was setting. It is A3 print on a pre-stretched cotton canvas.

Pigment inks onto a photo canvas are also waterproof. Dye inks and cheap chinese however generally are not. Surely its cheaper to print direct .
