There are a few places that will print the transfers for you. Since you have a press already there are no special requirements as far as chemicals or that type of thing you will need except for the specially coated substrates. Also the plates require a plate puck.

Thanks,
By the specially coated substrates do you mean the actual items designed for them?
What is a plate puck? Sorry to be a novice but I am just starting
I have a 4 way press that is a 15x15 that has the attachment for the Hat, Mug and Plates.
I have read sooo much on so many sites that now I think I am confusing myself.

You may want to start a new topic/thread in the Dye Sublimation area for your new questions so they can get more exposure.

Greetings,

Sublimation is also about product. You referenced shirts, so I'm not sure if that is the only products in your thoughts.

The reason I say that is because there are many successful sign companies that are also highly successful in the awards (e.g., plaques and trophies) business.

If that is included in your thinking, then laser sublimation (rather than inkjet sublimation) would be your printing solution.

If your thinking is generally towards the gift industry (specialty shirts, mugs, tiles, etc., etc.,) then your solution is inkjet sublimation.

The two markets and the clients they serve are quite different in motivation, method and opportunity.

Think about what you want to do. Until then, I'll keep this short until I know more.
