Sublimate on Clear Acrylic: Step-by-Step Tutorial

[@LisaOliverauthor]

I didn't realize that there was a sublimatable acrylic so that is awesome to know, thank you :)

You're so welcome!

I have used the 11.8 square acrylic quite a bit and really like it. Couple times I also forgot to peel plastic covering off both sides. I press for 105 sec at 365 degrees, peel and place under another cool heat press. Have made a lot of game pieces and charms. And remember, don't mirror design. Tripped up there too. Also cut great on my glowforge. Just found out they have the unisub brand. Like the idea of bigger sheets when needed.

good point about the mirroring. Not having to mirror is nice. Agree bigger sheets is nice depending on the project you're trying to complete!

Can you use any paper in the process? :)

I have tried the JPP cast acrylic and didn't like the edges but subbed well. Have to try the Unisub, glad they have other sizes, thanks for the comparison!

you're very welcome

This is exactly what I've been hoping to learn - I was wondering if there was a decent, laser cuttable sublimation acrylic. Nobody I asked seemed to know, but you have a similar machine to mine and are cutting it, so I think I have my answer! I'm wondering however - Would you maybe consider it to be safe cutting after sublimation? I'm working on control panels and worry about the edges around the holes marking weirdly from the gasses being released.

Is it safe to breathe while sublimating these products

[@ShootingStarSVG]

No worries on breathing fumes in from what I understand.

[@MikolajFirlej-kk7ng]

Great video, but I don't breathing fumes of acrylic (and things cut on co2 laser) is healthy

[@ShootingStarSVG]

Everything is run through fans out the house. The smell is not the greatest but it isn't unsafe for me.
