gcextreme 475 Posted September 10, 2015 I am looking for dye sublimation magnets.. need large ones for vehicle doors (12"x24"), and small ones for like refrigerators (2"x3") BUT I need the flexible ones, not the hard aluminum ones u stick the little magnet to. I have some of the large 12x24 vehicle magnets, flexible, for putting vinyl onto, but need some for dye sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawn's Design 403 Posted September 10, 2015 A license plate will hold its color for about 18 months. I figure these will be the same way..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 10, 2015 Guessing it'd be cheaper to outsource print vinyl and stick it on regular magnets, 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnatUSCutter 49 Posted September 11, 2015 Not aware of something like this for sublimation. We do offer this product, which a lot of people don't even know about: http://www.uscutter.com/Magnetic-Sign-Blanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 11, 2015 Have you ever thought about trying a regular magnet? Don't know what the top surface is but it might work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OWJones 1,981 Posted September 12, 2015 Magnets lose their magnetism at high temperatures - not sure how well the flexible magnetic material would do at 400° as it's not particularly magnetic to start with. You might need to look at a sublimatable decal material and then applying that to the magnets... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpaperman 719 Posted September 12, 2015 or print to vinyl, then apply to magnet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted September 12, 2015 I've had small sublimatable fridge magnets and they worked fine but they were specifically made for the process I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdc2002us 0 Posted October 2, 2015 I was told today from a rep of SEPS that there is not any sublimation magnet material that you can sub too, but they have a material called Subi mate that you can print directly too and them remove the adhesive from the back and afix it to magnetic material which they sale as well, the down fall she told me was that the ink would not last very long before fading maybe 2-3 months if that long depending on the area of the country that you are in, she then suggested the best way would be to use an Eco Solvent printer, im still looking as well because i believe there is something out there some where.

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted October 5, 2015 I use multical all the time. Here is a link to results of field testing which I have found to be pretty accurate. http://www.laserreproductions.com/Sublimation-Multical-Field-Test-Results.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
