eddieb378 41 Posted July 7, 2014 Is there a cheaper way to work the kinks out of my printer other than using iphone sublimation plates.i want to adjust more but I can't see messing up these cases just to fine tune my heat and printer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted July 7, 2014 Dog tags are cheaper I know it sounds cruel but in the end the only way to know what's happening is to use a sub blank. You can do just a small section of the black each time you test and move to another section for the next test. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OWJones 1,981 Posted July 7, 2014 Laser Reproductions Inc has 3.75" square fuzzy coasters on clearance for $0.32 each, that will give you enough surface area to get multiple colors on each blank and are pretty cheap. If you prefer something with a hard, smooth surface, these 2" ceramic tiles are on clearance at $0.25 each (in sheets of 9 for $2.29), but you need to press them a little differently than you would a phone case (inverted on Nomex felt, or right side up with a green silicon rubber mat over the top). You could also try sublimatable aluminum business cards at $0.35 each - they're thinner than a phone case, but similar surface and similar pressing instructions, and you can always print up and use any left overs. From Conde, one of your cheaper options is the 2" square hardboard tiles from Unisub at $0.54 each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
