DESCRIPTION

• Ideal as a wall photo collage, business identification sign...
• Smooth, even surface with straight edges
• Customisable on the glossy white side
• Suitable for cutting to size using CNC milling machine
• Can also be customised using other techniques such as transfer and adhesive vinyl

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• Cannot be cut with laser machines because it contains PVC. Instead, you can use CNC machines or routers
• The unprintable side of the 1-sided sublimatable panel is slightly darker than the sublimatable side (Ref. 034164)
• The customisable side(s) are covered with a protective plastic that must be removed before sublimation

TIPS AND TRICKS

• Increase production and reduce cost with faster personalisation. Different designs can be pre-cut at the same time and then sublimated to create table sets, magnets, key chains, coasters...
• Print a design divided between different panels and create wall collages
• Wipe clean with a cloth and all-purpose cleaner to keep the sublimated image shiny and clean

RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS FOR SUBLIMATION PRINTING

Parameters given for guidance only. It is recommended to carry out preliminary tests in order to make the necessary adjustments before starting production.

• Print the design in mode mirror
• Preheat the press to 200 ºC
• Remove the protective film from the printable side before sublimating
• Place the panel on the bottom plate of the plate and the printed side of the paper on the panel
• Close the press at medium pressure for 60 seconds
• Open the plate and remove the already sublimated panel with a protective glove
• Carefully remove the printed paper
• Repeat the same process to sublimate the other side in the case of the double-sided panel (Ref. 034163)
