Being new to sublimation printing I have been trying to find someone that would provide one-to-one training or workshop with my own equipment either at home or not too far within England/Wales. I have an Apple Mac running Adobe PhotoShop Elements 12 for design and image/photo manipulation and the following hardware:
- Ricoh Aficio SG 3110 DN with Sublijet R cartridges approx 60% full
- Samsung CLP 320 laser printer
- Automatic mug heat press
- 15"clam shell heat press
Along with various materials such as sublimation paper, mouse mats, aprons, mugs, iPhone cases, fridge magnets, shoulder bags, wallets and even temporary tattoo paper!
Regards,
Keith

Hi! you can lear a LOT from just reading this forum. Practicing is another great way of learning. If this is not enough then I will be happy to have a go with you if you don't mind traveling

Hi Guys,
thanks for the suggestions and yes this is a fabulous forum, full of good advice and YouTube is full of tutorials but there is nothing like some structured hands-on training. I am having real trouble getting a clean, clear and bright image on my mugs and don't want to keep wasting the paper and mugs if its me doing something wrong? Found this course via Google search:

Cheers,
Keith

Sublitraining (Nikki) is a member here. Xpres also offer some great in house demos, training and backup but only if you've bought equipment form them. As already mentioned, you'll find everything you need on this forum anyway

Hi Justin, I have emailed Nikki (Nicci) this morning, so will see if she is still doing courses. I have had plenty of support and advice on this forum but still not getting the results I am looking for

The images on my mugs look dull and are not sharp and bright like I have seen despite trying all the things recommended on this forum so decided I must need some training or my equipment or materials are faulty? I often find that with formal training there is one thing that you are missing and once you are physically shown in a practical manner it all falls into place.
