Afternoon all,

you have what appears a very interesting forum.

My dye sublimation journey is just beginning.

We currently manufacture and supply a range of whiteboards into the healthcare market. These whiteboards are being digitally printed and laminated at the moment.

I am trying to find a more tougher, more durable surface and dye sublimation sounds the answer.

I am currently struggling to find a supplier in the UK of this service, i.e. dye sub print onto white faced, magnetic steel boards finished as a whiteboard.

I have purchased products through a 3rd party in the UK to whom I believe purchase the product from Italy.

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

All the very best

Chris

Hi Chris,

I know that a few of our members have very large heat presses suitable for pressing larger sheet material. Hopefully one will read this thread and get in touch.

Best regards,

Richard

Hi and welcome :). I believe there are sublimation steel sheets now available which are magnetic. If you want something larger than A3+ (approx 13" x 19") then your sources for doing this will reduce as not many have large format printers or large format heat presses. What size are you looking for?
