Printing Aluminium Cuffs

[melridd]

Hello

I'm looking to design some aluminium cuff bracelets and have bought it some anodised aluminium to try out some ideas on. Tonight I tried a small design, just some black text on a small square on my heat press using a design printed onto Trupix paper using my Ricoh printer. For a first go I was pretty pleased but the design didn't exactly pop like the print does when I do mugs.

I was wondering if the sublimation aluminium cuffs would give a better finish. I was thinking about trying the ChromaLuxe ones but the logo on the back puts me off.

Can anyone give any recommendations as an alternative.

Many thanks, Mel
