Does the core of your heat tape wobble on that dispenser? I find that most dispensers or the cores are inappropriately sized. Just wondering before I purchase yet another dispenser. I enjoy your videos. Straight-forward without a lot of unnecessary yapping! Looking forward to seeing more! Thanks!
@BlackSwampGraphics3 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! I personally hate a lot of filler and fluff when I watch a YT video, so I try to consider that when making one! To answer your question...I have purchased several dispensers and several heat tapes from different sellers and the common denominator is the heat tape cores are over sized, whereas the dispensers dimensions are fine for a true 3" core. I used masking tape to build up the insert so when the tape slides on it is tight and not wobbly. Otherwise I like the one that I posted, but I am always on the hunt for a heavier one that doesn't move when I pull on it. I did buy one that precuts the tape to length, but have not tried it yet. Got it in lime green! I added the link in the supplies list for you, look for Lime Green. I hope that helps!

@BlackSwampGraphics Жыл бұрын
Your issue is likely your supplies or settings or both. I would consult your ink supplier and also test different sublimation papers as that can have an affect. Also, maybe try a different license plate from another supplier to rule out the coating as being the issue. Thanks for watching!

Do these license plates fade / bleed after time being in the hot sun on a car? Similar to how sublimated metal tumblers will bleed and fade if they are put through a dishwasher?
@BlackSwampGraphics Жыл бұрын
Man, I am sorry, I just saw your comment from a year ago! SMH! Sublimation printed items are not UV stable for long periods of time in direct sunlight, so I would assume depending on the exposure it will fade at some point. Spraying a UV protectant may def increase the life. We have also found that some aluminum suppliers claim to be coated with triple UV coatings.

not sure if its been asked already or not - but have you ever had any issues over time with the edges of the print flaking off? i make these aswell and i noticed even with medium or high pressure At the same time and heat that the image will come out looking perfect but sometimes the edges will flake off little bits! any advice?

That is a defective coating on the metal and should be addressed with the supplier of the plates! Thanks for watching!

@BlackSwampGraphics3 жыл бұрын
You can use almost any design software. Cricut Design Space is the only one that I know of that people use for sublimation that has a very small size limitation. You can use Silhouette, Affinity, Corel products, Adobe PS & AI. You can even create and use Canva, Inkscape or Gimp. Keep in mind free programs aren't always the best solution!

Just curious, but do you have a large market for these plates? I have asked several people of different ages & they say no to them. I personally like them and still have my two airbrushed ones from the 80s when I was a teen 😊

Some states don’t allow a front plate like this, but I think a lot of guys use them for man caves or shops too. I don’t push them actually. eBay or Mercari might be an avenue for you!

@BlackSwampGraphics Жыл бұрын
They are for the front of a vehicle and many states only have rear tags, so here in Indiana they are legal to have a plate like this on the front. Many people use for man caves, garages, bars, etc.
