Hi there.Looking for plates that can be fully printed and can be fired in 3d mini machine.

Any UK suppliers have them?
I remember, Martin mentioned them once but never heard anything since.
thanks

i think i will need no more then 8" for 3d mini. 10" will be to big? also i need someone who sell them in UK and in singles. I need to have a go with them to see how they print.

There is a 7.5 inch version there as well (http://www.bestsub.com/sublimation-blan ... lates.html). Box quantity 36 though. Maybe other suppliers have plates as stock items? We can get a box of 36 in for later this year if you want on our next sea shipment.

Longforte have some 7.5" ones, might be pushing it with 8" but if you wanna try Coralgraph have them. Let us know how you get on with these as i've been thinking about giving plates a go, need to work out what I would pack them in.

longforte ones looks like standard plates and not a bowl style ones you can get for full face printing in 3d machine. also it states 4" printable area. but i will have a look on coral graph too.

just checked coral graph and they don't do them :(
here is the type I am looking for.

I maybe wrong but I would thought they would coat the whole side of the plate and not just the middle and the 4" printable area is because they expect people to be using a plate press, best to ask them before ordering.
