sublimating tiles

[BRENDAN]

hi trying to sublimate tiles which i got from b&q white tiles 6x6 works out at 10p each so thought i would give it a go,so far no success got the substance from coralgraph i brush it on, is there a better way? thought about a small roller may try that next ,i put them in an oven for 10 minutes then let them dry and do the same again with another coat at gas mark 6, i heat press at 200 degrees for 8 minutes problem is the tile is coming out blotchy is it the cheap tiles or have i missed something ? i also do the mugs in the oven which turn out ok, but they were already sublimated any comments would be appreciated ....

Try the DIGICOAT spray stuff and not corals liquid stuff. Much better results, although still not perfect in my opinion.

ok will try digicoat would prefer to spay, think it would be a lot easier and no brush lines ..cheers

I have used the liquid spray for something completely different and purchased a cheap sprayer from B&Q. Works a treat but as mentioned, the quality of the coating is not great.

I have a little compressor with a spray attachment will give that a go, and order the digit coat in the meantime ..cheers

I have a dvd from a company that came with my printer, they show you tile printing and also about even cover on the tile and spray it with an atomiser of water.it shows how to apply the tile coating,bruch or roller,but then it says due to thesurface might have bubble on it spray it ,don't know if this helps or not as new to this

That worked fine for me, though I did also work with some contractors, so maybe they did something in addition.
