Fantastic! Makes me want to try laminate again... i'm going to follow your instructions, every other video I have tried the length of time was way shorter for sublimating and everything I did was a fail. 380° @ 100sc... thanks so much for sharing this, wanna try policrylic too...

I tried to sublimate on a large mdf board. The board looked awesome, but i had a big white streak all the way down where I had pressed to overlap since it was to large to get it one press. Any tips for doing laminate on a large surface?

Yes, it's a long one. Believe it or not, the unedited footage was around 7 hours long. I tried to remove as much as I could without affecting the clarity.

In Canada we do not have the brand of laminate. Will any do? As wood is pourous, can you do sublimation without a coating? Have you tried?

Thank you for excellent comparison /video . I see you use your TUSY heat press in your videos . Do you recommend it ? I’m thinking of getting one . I’m just a DIY Hobbyist not for commercial use ,

Thanks for the video. I will definitely be using the laminate process unless I want a more flat/matte finish. I am curious about the laminate that appeared to be bubbled up on the KZread sign @ 10:23 in the video. Were you able to put it back on the press and get them to flatten out? Will it be a flaw on some items we will just have to deal with?

@SouthpawsStudio

I ended up running it through the press again and it stuck back down.

First of all, I love your videos. Plus, I'm also a leftie. I like the laminate process the best. What I'm not sure if I missed was did you prime those wood pieces prior to lamination or was the primer for the other processes?

Thanks, I probably have close to 40 hours in this particular video (sourcing materials, testing, filming, editing, etc). If it's the original EasyPress, it only goes up to 360*, so you may need to add a little time to get good results. If it's the EasyPress 2, it will go up to 400* and you should be good to go.

Hi.. I was wondering if you could maybe give me some advice as to why my laminate isn't melting onto the wood.. I have checked the temperature several times and I've even bumped it up a little higher.. I've also let the press stay on it longer too?

Which process is the most durable and how long does it last compared to normal sublimation

i have used laminating pouches on painted wood an unpainted wood it always peals off,

Is the laminate outdoor safe? How long does the laminate stay on the wood. Thank you.

Do they have a high quality poly whatever that is flat, matt, or semigloss? thanks

Can e print on wood with matte lamination or can we get matte finish on laminate process anyway?

Cant u just use htv (heat transfer film) and sublimate print. I spose it's pretty much what the laminate is doing . Cheers for vid

Maybe a coat of poly acrylic after the cleaning to remove paper fibers will bring out the colors better.

Does the laminate go blurry over time

Is the laminate gloss or a matt finish?

@SouthpawsStudio

2 жыл бұрын

Glossy.. it seems to stick a little better to me.. I need to try matte again though

What sublimating printer do you use? I have tried this again and again. I can't get the vibrant colors like you do.

I tried to laminate a painted piece of MDF using 3M Laminate sheet since I don't have the Walmart brand. I could not get it to adher. Has anyone tried this eith anoter brand of laminate sheets? I even went uo on my temps but still failed.

Your link for laminate is for 3 mil rather than the 5 mil you show in the video. The problem I see in your video is the bubbling of the laminate which you don't address. Do you handle 3 mil differently from 5 mil when initially pressing it to the substrate and then sublimating?

After done, do you need to coat with anything if going to use as a coaster?

I sub on basswood or birch with no problems but today I tried to sub on a 8" wood slice, after I applied the laminate the slice formed a cup, like a small bowl laminate was not solid all around, I waited till it got flat again and tried to sub the picture and same thing happened, middle did not stick only the outsides. Any clue on this? Thanks
