Evening all :cool:
Just signed up after a quick google to read-up and take in some info about sub printing!
Not to the extreme as I guess most of you lot are doing it though :wink:
A bit of info about me.... my name is over there <~~ Live in the midlands....
I have been cutting vinyl (24" Roland)for a few years as a hobby as I run a local club and do all the decals etc for the members,
I also have a heat press so do the Tee's in vinyl, so sub printing is just another option I want to do,
Another thing I got into last year was Hydro dipping which I enjoyed doing but having the time to do the prep work/ spraying/dipping and top coating was just impossible so after putting over 1k into it I sold up (regret it now summers on the way)
Anyway enough of me hehe :smile: off to have a good read on what I need - Printer -

Thanks for the welcome Justin,
Hydro dipping has been around for years and you more than likely have something at home that's been dipped, but it's only in the last 2 years it's real hit off in the UK! youtube will give you an idea on what/how it's done :cool:
A form of printing but in water, the video clips make it look a lot easier than it is, a few kits available to buy in the UK but the good stuff has to be imported, most of my kit was shipped over but I had the tank made but to be honest it was to be for what I wanted to do, it held over a tonne in weight of water hehe....

yeah,m they do make it look day! I'm guessing it's a real pain to get the hang of. Stunning end product though ;-) Feel free to post a few pics of your work in the Take a Break section if you have any :-)
