I wonder if someone could help me with a sublimation transfer? I have the Richoh GX 5050N, which I love, but of course it doesn't print larger than legal size. I have need, on occasion, to print larger sublimation transfers. Right now I am making a small cocktail table which is a 13 inch diameter circle. My heat press can handle the large size just not the printer. Is there a way to print two halves on smaller paper,tape them together (very carefully) and press or do I need one single transfer?

Thanks very much in advance

Here is a post that may help you. It was done with Jpss paper but I am sure it will work with any paper really.

He made a large oversize print with Mr. Poster software using several sheets of transfer paper.

It is virtually impossible to tape two sub prints together and not be able to see where they are joined, after sublimating. Can you do it- yes.

I have tried this myself some time ago, on a smaller item I needed to 'pivot'. Jack is quite right that you can still see where they join in the finished output. Without a narrow white border around your image, the colour can bleed around the edges of the transfer paper giving unwanted results.
