Well i image mabe companies that dye sub large things.. lol.. I mean i know there are places that dyesub tablecloths and blankets and such.. so they would have to have a big printer.. but for us doing t-shirts it would be a bit of an overkill.. .. lol.. image how warm your shop would get with a huge heat press lol.

I don't think I even want to think about that.

Huh. I always thought those items were just printed. I didn't know they were dye subbed! Learn something new every day.

COOL!

Too bad it's not rugs, too. I had someone ask me recently if I knew of a place to get rugs printed or custom woven. He wanted a picture on a rug at the bottom of his basement stairs. He ended up going to Wal-Mart, where they have that service.

Chani,
We sell a lot of those printers for high end production houses. I think there's one in Canada that has three 74" dye sub machines going 24 hours a day churning out bicycle shirts and other specialty apparel. Tour de France type stuff. The others do custom items like Sue's talking about.

One shop here in Southern California sells custom snowboards. But you could do door mats, rugs, tablecloths, mousepads, coasters, flags, all kinds of cool stuff.
There's a company in Vegas called Pictographics that sublimated all the felt for the blackjack tables at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Just a few things, but definitely very cool applications. As far as t-shirts are concerned, it'd have to be high production all-white, poly blends.

Okay!

Thanks for explaining that to me to both of you.

Like I said ealier, I always thought those were just direct-printed, not dye-subbed.

I leaned something new!
