I make sublimation tiles. What is Dye Sublimation Printing?Dye Sublimation, as a process is really very simple. It is the method of applying an image to specially coated ceramics, metals and polyester cloth, using three main ingredients: sublimation ink, heat and pressure. Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid form. (Just like dry ice.) The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. Hard items such as ceramic, fiber board, metals, etc. requires a special coating to accept the sublimation inks.I use hardboard to create the tiles because it is strong, light in weight and thin. This goes fantastic next to stained glass and many nipped porcelin and china plates being just the right thickness. Hardboard, also called high-density fiberboard, is a type of fiberboard, which is an engineered wood product. It is similar to particle board and medium-density fiberboard, but is much harder and denser because it is made out of exploded wood fibers that have been highly compressed. This hardboard is coated with polymer to accept the ink. This coating gives the tiles a beautiful glossy finish that is nearly identical to a china or porcelain plate. Once it's grouted you cannot tell the difference.See my other listings for more great items! click picture to enlarge click picture to enlarge click picture to enlarge click picture to enlarge Preferred payment method is paypal but money order or cashiers check is ok.
