hi everybody this is Austin from JDS industries and today I'm going to show
you another sublimation tutorial and this time it's going to be the
substones. they come in ten different sizes and two different
finishes and so we will go through the steps to do that. They also come with two
feet here that you can use to set them up like these ones. To do this you'll
need your sublstone, your heat tape and your sublimation transfer. We printed
this with Sawgrass inks on a Sawgrass printer. What you'll do is take your
sublstone put it on your transfer and fold the transfer over the edges of the
sublistone and we'll tape the transfer to the back of the sublistone. The
reason why we do this is to help the edges of the transfer go into the rough
edges of the sublistone.
Now we can go to the press. In order to sublimate the sublistones the way
you're going to layer the press is going to be on the bottom you'll have a Teflon
sheet or a scratch piece of paper followed by the green thermal or heat
conductive pad. We're going to sublimate this facedown and the reason why we do
this is to give the stone more indirect heat from the back so it'll heat through
to the front to not scorch the coating. And on top of that we'll do another
Teflon sheet or scratch piece of paper
And we're going to sublimate this at 400 degrees for five minutes. On a larger
stone you can go up to five and a half minutes. We'll use a medium pressure
We will want to use an oven mitt or a hot pad to remove the stone. It will be
very hot
There you have the finished product and this is a gloss sublistone. These
have become a very popular product for us
they have many sizes and shapes and also a rough edge which makes them very
unique. They can be used for a variety of applications such as awards, personalized
gifts, photography or fine art. For more information on these or any of our
