Re: Can anyone do tile sticker printing?

Hi folks

Does anyone know anyone who can print tile stickers (the stickers you put over existing ceramic tiles to change the way they look)?

I'm guessing they need to be
  • fairly thick
  • strong adhesive
  • fully opaque
  • waterproof
  • scratch resistant
At the mo I dye-sub my designs onto ceramic tiles, but stickers would be a useful alternative.

Thanks for any pointers!

Ruth

Hi Ruth. I'm currently experimenting with clear C119 self-adhesive sublimatable transfer film from I-Sub Supplies - https://www.isub-supplies.co.uk/catalog ... lt/?q=C119

As to it being waterproof, I haven't checked that as my intended use is not for products that normally come into contact with water.

Thanks Webtrekker - that's interesting! I've never come across film before.
Not sure it'd work for tiles (I suspect tile stickers would have to be opaque rather than clear...) but I can think of all sorts of other possibilities... going to get some :)

Yeah, it would work better on plain white tiles I suppose.

It prints well, using the settings provided on the I-Sub page, and the heat doesn't seem to affect the adhesive. Just make sure you print on the correct side! :-)
