Printing onto flat steel bottle openers / bar blades question

[Baldy]

Hi all,
This may be a bit of a dumb question, but I'm new to the area of sublimation so please humour me:+)

If I wanted to print on both sides, would each side need doing separately or would it be a case of securing the sub paper round it and doing both sides at once?

One side at a time BUT only if both sides can be sublimated on of course.

Completely the opposite...

Both sides need to be sublimated at the same time otherwise you will burn the already printed side.

Double sided metal is a royal pain in the arse and you need to perfect your times and temps which means you are going to waste quite a few before hitting the perfect spot.

Good luck and as someone who has printed these for several clients I do not envy you

Guess you need to test it yourself. We've printed only a couple of hundred of these and do them one side at a time and they come out perfectly.

I suppose it depends on where you get your blanks from as well, and even then some double sided metals from the same supplier have opposing pressing instructions.

I suppose it'll be a case of trial and error. Thanks for your answers.
