    Dye sublimation on to stainless steel

    Posted by angela on 8 December 2009 at 17:45

    Hello,

    I am wanting to print onto stainless steel, I have tried with just using the paper but it wont stick on to stainless. Do you have to put anything on the stainless so the print will stay on the s/s.

    Any help would be very grateful.

    Thanks
    Angela

    Dont forget, the Stainless Steel MUST have a polyester coating to make the sublimation work. Ive not seem S/S for sale for subli but I have seen Aluminium.

    Stainless is a "premium" material mainly for longevity outdoors, where as dye-sub has a much shorter outdoor life. Therfore you have a miss-match of materials and processing.

    If you want to use stainless, screen print, etch or engrave it………..
