Sublimation is the process by which an image printed on paper is transferred to another surface (or substrate.) Historically, sublimation has been used for t-shirts, tiles and metal plaques.All you need to create a wide variety of products are a desktop computer, printer, a heat press and an order of Unisub®. It's now available in 3/32: UV resistant fiberglass reinforced plastic sheet stock and pre-cut blanks for name badges, license plates, luggage tags, key chains and holiday ornaments. |
Composite wood choices include 1/8" sheet stock and pre-cut blanks for clipboards, wall and desk clock kits, coasters, mouse pads and dry-erase boards well as 5/8" sheet stock an pre-cut plaques with a variety of edging options. Preprinted transfers can also be used if you don't wish to make your own individualized transfers.

Why Choose Unisub®? PDF (Adobe Acrobat®) or PPT (PowerPoint®) file
The Process is as easy as 1, 2, 3
1) Customize:
Choose any picture, illustration or other graphic image. Sublimation works for any variety of color combinations from black and white to full color. You can scan in your own conventional photo prints, use a digital camera or select from a variety of stock images to include names, dates, scores or other custom information. Run color correction software. At this point you will notice your colors have become very muted. This is to compensate for the brightening that occurs during the sublimation process. |

2) Print:
Select the printer into which you have inserted the special sublimation ink cartridges. Print on regular paper just as you would a normal page. Multiple transfers can be printed or similar single pages with name change, etc. for personalization Remember, the output will look considerably duller than a normal color print in order to compensate for the sublimation brightening. |
|
3) Transfer:
Preheat your heat press per the manufacturer's instructions (specs & tutorial for applying transfers.) Then, position your piece of Unisub® on the press and apply pressure as indicated for the appropriate amount of time. Next, lift the press and carefully remove the transfer. Finally, assemble the clock, clipboard or other components and you are finished. Practice makes perfect! |
