Heres a video you've been waiting for!
Sadly our image at the end did not come out that well, do to my printer needing to be clean. But this is how you add images onto kydex.
The art of sublimation is a wonderful thing.
Here is my step by step tutorial on how people sublimate onto kydex itself.
Its pretty easy but can get frustrating and overwhelming.
But persistence always wins.
Total cost into sublimation equipment
My set up is around 450-500
I have learned quite a bit and today i learned that ill be doing print head cleanings before printing onto light kydex,
Enjoy

Yeah started subbing Kydex about a year and a half ago. No videos out back then. Wasted tons of plastic, I ended up getting help from some people to get me on the right track. Hard part form me is the computer work and getting all the settings right. It’s been fun though. Very convenient when you have an idea for a cool print and you don’t have to wait or explain it to anyone.

I just did an American Flag on white dex. Used a little different temp and time. 400 for 60. Turned out well. Pressed in coffee bum and lost a little color. Overall fairly satisfied. I think mine would be better had i vacuumed it.

Did you edit the video like trim it? 450 seconds is 7.5 min and it doesn’t match up to pressing to peeling? Thanks. Trying to get blacker blacks and getting blue.
@FalTacUnlimitedLLC
@FalTacUnlimitedLLC 2 года назад
7.5 minutes staring at a press is boring lol so the time is cut for video purposes. Time also depends on paper. I have paper now that transfers in 150 seconds not 450 now. So that's a plus. And colors are affected by the setting you use

@andreajeffcoat3378 2 года назад
Thank you for the video. The reason it didn't transfer right is because you printed on the back of the paper. Blue is the back and white is print area.

Those extra lines are "ghosting". Those lines get transferred when you lift the heat press top. Happens all the time. Most likely not your print head
