Default Re: Sub tiles

We print a lot of ceramic tiles by dye sublimation. We use different tiles for different jobs. For our least cost projects we use the PhotoUSA tiles.

Several vendors...Bison, Premiere, PhotoUSA, Conde, Laser Reproductions

My personal preferrence are the satin finished tiles. They are more scratch resistant than glossy and do not show finger prints.

Default Re: Sub tiles

I've sublimated a few tiles, and people look at them with as if it's something unusual, but I've never had anybody actually want to buy one. How do you market a sublimated tile? Obviously I'm not marketing it correctly .

Default Re: Sub tiles

I do quite a few differnt tiles. I use a lot of the Premier 4 1/4 for 6 tile murals with custom frames or as a single tile with a phot or military emblem (one note here, not all military emblems are public domain so be careful as to which ones you print) especially the Marines. I prefer the satin ones but most people will choose the gloss even with the scratching possibility. I have used the Armor Tile 8 X 10's for portrait pictures for a local photographer, the 6X6 for tile boxes and a lot of the 6X8's for photos. People are used to the rectangular format for pictures and seem to like this size. I have bought from Conde(they sell Bison and a house brand), Johnson Plastics ( Premier Tile), Armor (coats their own tiles) and Unisub (coated hardboard tiles). If you would like some frames try PSI in Florida. Dye Sublimation Products, Blank Imprintables and Accessories - Paramount Services Great people to deal with and high quality products. The frames are important to make a mural look finished, so you may also check out local frame shops because the sizes are not standard.

Default Re: Sub tiles

The tiles you see on a headstone are probably not dyesub, but ceramic kiln fired tiles. Dyesub will fade in sunlight so unless you are willing to coat them quite often with a uv inhibitor they will eventually fade away. The kiln fired are a lot more expensive to make and not many do it.

Sublimator's 1st Choice is where I buy my tiles and cups. They are very particular about their products and nice people to work with. They also run their own presses for custom work. You wouldn't be disappointed.

Default Re: Sub tiles

Mark was selling the Cactus sublimation tiles which have been discontinued for the time being, for production problems. I'm not sure if they sell any other sub tiles or not.
