Sublimation Printing on a Ceramic Plate

In this tutorial i will be demonstrating sublimation printing on a ceramic plate.
I will be using a sublimated coated plate, A-Sub paper, the Epson WF-7710 printer with sublimation ink, Heat Resistant Tape and the amazon heat press with the 6 inch plate heating element.
Make sure to set your printing quality on High or Best Quality, Media type on Premium Presentation Paper Matte, use heat resistant to keep your design fixed to the plate, press the image on the plate with light pressure 375-400F for 240 seconds. Make sure to cover the artwork/design with parchment paper.
If followed the steps in the Tutorial video your sublimation images will come out just as you want them to.

Can you sublimare around the rim of the plate?

[@jenniferhardin6977]

Luv your videos. Very understanding how to do. What mug press do you have. Does it do tumblers, thermos, coke thermos., mugs

[@atprints]

Thanks very much for joining me on this journey, I really appreciate it. I use the HPN signature series 6 in 1 mug press. I can do a lot of different mug sizes and much more. The biggest heating element I have is for a 17oz so if I do a tumbler bigger than 17 oz the picture or image wouldn’t cover the entire tumbler. I really do hope this answers your question. You can actually watch me here unboxing the mug press - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnvGo5t-j5angKM

[@toby-annstephanierainville135]

love how you explain everything so easily. one question, if I was to sublimate an oval platter, would I just sublimate one half for 240 sec and then the other half for 240sec?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. It all depends on how big your plate press is. When sublimating over previous images you have to be careful as you can actually burn the image that was pressed on first. So you have to decide how big you would like the image to be and then sublimate it. However, to your question, If you do one half at 240 seconds, once the entire paper was down I would only do 200 seconds for the next half. The reason I noted this is because the platter and paper would have already been hot and passed off heat. I hope this helps and that you do understand. Let me know if you do.

[@artjen99]

Thank you for the clear instructions. What do you do with the excess paper? Is there a way to use the other half?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question and sorry for the delay in response. If you do print on a big piece of paper and have some leftover, you can use it to print images for mugs, key rings etc. I hope this helps.

[@jaken9528]

That’s good..! But I don’t know if they have different sublimation papers but I want to use this paper. Can you please link me

[@atprints]

Thanks for your comment. I actually placed all the links in the description of this video with all the different items. What I used was A-Sub paper. Here is the link - amzn.to/3yTTtMJ Hope this helps 💪

[@marleymarley1360]

Hello, I love your teaching style. Straight and to the point. I recently purchased some gold rim sublimation plates. I want to make my husbands favorite championship college football team for his birthday. Can the design be larger than 5 inches and still look great? thank you,

[@atprints]

Thanks very much for your comment and support. Yes, they could be larger once the plate press heating element is larger. So if you do have the plate press set up, take a look at the different sizes.

[@kathleenfanzo5540]

is it possible to do the plate in a sublimation oven using a heat sleeve.? I also have a Cricut heat press, is there a disk I could use to apply pressure to the center of the plate.

[@atprints]

I do believe you can use an oven. However, you would need to get something to keep the image pressed down to the plate then try to use the shrink wrap sleeves if you can find some that are big as plates. In relation to the circuit press, I’m sorry I can help in that area as my press is a bit different. I am not sure if circuit has anything that can work.

[@hgilmw]

Thank you for sharing where do you purchase the ceramic plates to sublimate on thank you

[@atprints]

Sorry for the late response. In this video this plate was a normal ceramic plate where I applied polygloss onto that plate so i could sublimate onto it. However, if you are looking at buying sublimation plates that are already coated then you can get out Heat Press nation or Sublimation 101.

[@Urk31]

what is a sublimated coated plate? is it a special type of plate, a normal ceramic plate, or some coating you have to buy separately to apply to a plate?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. A sublimated coated plate is a special type of plate that allows you to sublimate images and designs onto it. A sublimation plate is a special type of plate. If you try to use a normal ceramic plate it will not work. There are two choices you can look at when looking into sublimation products or plates. You can either purchase sublimation blanks from amazon and other stores or you can purchase polygloss and coat your own ceramic items. Take a look at this video where I coated a normal ceramic plate and a mug - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i17cnnupr7OarpI

[@bigred6815]

Great demo. Is there a sublimation set up which will work for plates, cups and fabric projects or is it necessary to purchase a machine for each one?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. You can actually purchase an all-in-one heat press that carries the different heating elements to press hats, plates mugs, and t-shirts. Please see the link to a high-quality Press 👉shrsl.com/41pxo

Can you eat off this plate or no?

[@hyusuff1]

Very nice. Quick ? Is polygloss food safe?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. When it comes to Polygloss there are so many views. The instructions never mentioned when i researched that it wasn't food safe. It mostly recommends you do not use PolyGloss coated substrates in a dishwasher since some dishwashers reach very high temperatures and this can re-activate the sublimation process causing the ink to bleed. In this case i always caution persons to wash by hand for safety. When it comes to plates i would advise to use the plate as an ornament rather than eat in it. I hope this helps.

[@MA-ts9qt]

Wow! Is there a way to sublimate the rim of the plate?

[@atprints]

I believe there is but you will have to use a different type of press. There is a 3D Vacuum press, which I believe would work.

[@MrAchare]

Thanks sir for the video but how durable are the prints?

[@atprints]

THanks for your comment. To date, I still have this plate and the quality is good.

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. If your plate element is 6 inches you can make your design around 5 - 5.5 inches.

[@SuperWass1]

Do you have to use a ceramic plate? They are really hard to find. I can find porcelean and stoneware but hardly ever ceramic?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. Once the plate has a nice smooth surface and is a light colors you can use it.

What kind of A sub paper are you using .The A sub I'm using is sticking to the plate.

@@LJ-in6qd I am also using A-SUB paper 125 G. What I would do at times is allow it to cool for 1-2 mins and if you get residue then use a cloth to clean it off.

[@LJ-in6qd]

Are you spraying the plate's or are they sublimation plates. Trying to figure out setting on the Vevor Heat Press Machine.

[@atprints]

@@LJ-in6qd this is a standard plate from a store that cost $3 and I turned it into a sublimation plate by using polygloss.

[@tracyratcliffe6388]

Thankyou so much for sharing, can you eat off this sublimated plate?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. Before I answer I will say there are sublimation-ready plates which are already coated and prepared for sublimation and then there is the process where we can apply polygloss and sublimate your work onto a plate. In this video I used a normal plate and applied ploygloss, which gave me the opportunity to sublimate onto it. The company noted that Polygloss is food safe so yes you can eat off this plate. However, I normally advise to use it as an ornament. If you expose the plate with the Polygloss to execessive heat for example your oven or even microwave, it can reactivate the polygloss. So if you are planning to eat from it make sure to keep it away from the oven and extreme heats. I know the answer was long but I hope it helped.

[@davidheap5338]

Does the print wash off or is it permanent?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question. The print is permanent.

Why can't I get a photo to go in the circle???

You need to use a program like Silhouette studio.

[@MrAntagon83]

Is such a plate foodsafe?

[@atprints]

Based on the information and from the company who product the Polygloss, the answer is yes. However, I still always recommend to person to use it as an ornament.

[@silviamilin6529]

Can one eat on the plate?

[@atprints]

Safety is always first. However, Polygloss is non-toxic and FDA-compliant and this info comes directly from the company. So yes you can eat from this plate. However, I normally advise to use it as an ornament.

To small

[@aprildobson1965]

If you don’t have a heat press, can this be done in an oven and if so at what temperature and time?

[@atprints]

Thanks for your question and sorry for the late response. I never sublimated a plate in an oven before but I can say I know it can work. I would recommend your temperature between 350 - 400 F for around 5 minutes. It would be good to get something heavy or big enough to put on top of the image so they could be some pressure.
