How to Use the Subli-Acrylic
- Preparation - Begin by removing the protective film from both sides of the Subli-Acrylic sheet. This film is there to prevent scratches and damage before use.
- Testing Pressure - Before applying heat, test the pressure of your heat press. It should be light to medium-nothing too firm-to avoid damaging the Subli-Acrylic.
- Heat Press Setup - Preheat your heat press to 180 degrees Celsius. To protect your press and mat from unwanted image transfers, cover the bottom part of the heat press with silicone paper.
- Design Alignment - Place your design onto the matte white side of the Subli-Acrylic, face up. Remember not to mirror your image as you would with traditional sublimation processes. Secure the design in place, ensuring that no heat tape comes into contact with the Subli-Acrylic, as this can leave marks.
- Heat Application - Press the design onto the Subli-Acrylic for 180 seconds. The precise timing is crucial for achieving the desired effect.
- Post-Press Handling - Exercise caution when handling the Subli-Acrylic after pressing, as it will be hot. Use the silicone paper to transfer it to a smooth, non-textured surface for cooling.
- Cooling and Finishing - Once you've removed the top silicone paper and the design, replace the silicone paper and if 3mm add two reams of office paper and if 4mm you will need some more weight, on top to flatten it like a pancake. This helps the Subli-Acrylic to cool down and straighten back into shape.
- Revealing Your Design - After the Subli-Acrylic has cooled, you can admire your work. The non-mirrored image creates a 3D effect, with the image appearing to shine through to the top surface.
Tips for Perfect Subli-Acrylic Creations
- Always use high-quality images to ensure the clarity and vibrancy of your design
- Be mindful of the temperature and pressure settings; deviations can affect the quality of the transfer
- To prevent warping, immediately after pressing, place the acrylic under a cold press, a heavy smooth object, or use our mould press
- Experiment with different designs and colours to fully explore the potential of Subli-Acrylic
- By following these steps and tips, you can create beautiful, professional-looking pieces with Subli-Acrylic. Whether you're making personalized gifts, signage, or decorative items, Subli-Acrylic offers a unique and eye-catching option. Enjoy the process and the impressive results!
