Thank You Roger for taking the time to explain the differences!

Thank you for Another great video You're quickly becoming my go-to guy for dye sublimation information

Awesome! Thank you for your instruction. I come from a family of military people so I appreciate your designs too!

Your demos are very good. The whole process is clear. I did not know how that cutting machine worked but now I know the paper needs a cutting mat under it. It works like a CNC machine or wood router. Nice. These glass panels look very professionally done. Fairly easy process, but finding a good heat press.... is a huge challenge!

Thank you I just followed your instructions with white oracle vinyl with a portrait came out amazing no bubbles in vinyl I didn't use rapid tack as I didn't have it just carefully put the vinyl on and used a squeezy 😀 I also used asub paper and it washed off with no issues

Hi Roger. Ordering some supplies via your link! Thank you for your support!

Good morning I was able to do a glass cutting board thanks to you love your video is very clear the temp was perfect I only have a heat press 9x9 thank you so much

Great video thank you! Very detailed instructions! Also I saw on a Conde Systems video for subbing onto acrylic to prevent the sublimation release paper from sticking they recommended using high release, text print paper like Text Print XP for Epson printers or Text Print R papers for Rico, Virtuoso SG 400/800 printers and the paper would not stick to the substrate that way. Thanks for all you do!

Question- Once the image is sublimated on vinyl and heat pressed onto the trivet are there special washing instructions that need to be followed?

Probably not recommended, but my wife runs these on the top rack of the dishwasher and we haven't had any problems. Hand wash is probably still best. As far as submerging in water, no problems so far, but not left for long periods. We have one that is left on our outdoor bar and it gets rained on all the time. Note that this will eventually fade when left out in direct sun for a long period.

Too long, too short, too hot, or not hot enough, have all made this happen and I'm still working on some more test pieces experimenting with different vinyl and inks.

No. A plastic cutting board is made from HDPE. Pretty much nothing sticks to this and for sublimation, there would need to be a coating to absorb the dye. The sublimation coating would not stick to the HDPE.

This is interesting. I see you successfully sublimated on white vinyl. I've seen people have trouble with the ink taking to white vinyl in the past, though. Is it because it's an outdoor/matte vinyl? I also saw you mentioned in the comments that it won't take well to HTV, which is the problem I've seen. Do you know what the difference is between what adhesive vinyl is made from that can be sublimated on what HTV is made from that doesn't allow the ink to sublimate to it?

@rogersshop

I am by no means an expert on the chemical composition of different polymers, but do know that this is not suitable for HTV as HTV was never intended too be used this way. HTV is designed to be heat transferred to fabric or other porous materials.

There are a lot of variables here. Ink brand, density, paper type, pressure, time, vinyl brand, etc. So hard to nail down any one thing. Print density on the sublimation paper would be the first place to start. Use the highest quality setting when printing and if high speed or bidirectional printing is an option on your printer, turn it off.

Direct sublimation without a backing substrate other than the backing paper? This can be tricky. Lower temperature to 360 F and press no more than 40 seconds with light pressure. Allow to cool before separating and the paper will probably stick to the vinyl. Can be easily removed if soaked in water, but this also softens the backing paper. A Waterslide decal paper might work out better for this application.
