Hi all,
How practical, successful is sublimation on plastics like Acrylic, PETg, in large sizes like 3x2 feet, or 8x4 ft. with thickness of 2.5mm ? Also possibly on moulded surfaces, to make outdoor sign fascia ?
I have two choices:
1. Direct digital printing using a flatbed printer and then vacuum form. Is any digital ink existing,can hold on non-fading 5 years ?
2. Sublimation (If viable): Low investment: I have my Epson Stylus Pro 9900 large format inkjet printer, which I may adopt for sublimation, to start with. Will have to invest in a heat transfer system, if existing (?).
But I doubt the Sublimation way may not be practical on large sizes, especially curved shapes. , again a 5 year non-fading ink.
Howsoever, I'm searching for any new tech system is existing beyond my knowledge.
Please advice me the best way.
Thanks in advance...
