Guy, actually....any heat press that will get up to around 400 degrees and which the piece will fit into will work with about an inch to spare at the edge.. Get one with a timer, or get a timer to...
Yeah Pam, That is what happens when CorelDraw has to pee!!! Heheheee :D Sometimes if you play with the brush size it will rectify that.... It is usually just a spacing of the graphic, or you could...
Dang Keith... Either this is a typo or a heck of an invitation!!! Hehehee:D
Bruce, I will let you know soon about the durability in UV exposed substrates. I have a little experiment ongoing, because I am setting up to do an airbrushed job on a car hood. Amidst the airbrush...

I do moisture check any wood that I don't have adequate time to acclimate before working with it. But if you are having that much problem, I would really watch the MC of the wood that you are using,...
Wow, where the heck are you living?? The dimensional stability of plywood is almost always (as far as I know) going to be better than the solid wood you are placing over it!
I can't imagine that...
Hi John,
Having owned a hardwood flooring company that did a huge amount of inlay work as well as medallion sets, I have to tell you that regular old pine plywood in a good grade is about all that a...
Man Ed, That is the new model 5000, with the power drive option!!! I have the older model with the hand crank! Hehehee:D
Here is how I do it. I set up the artwork in CorelDraw with four layers. One for the vector cut for the items, one for a vector cut of a box around the entire work, one for the front raster, and the...
I wondered what you were using to power that F-15, Tom! I didn't realize it was personal gas!! Hehehee Awesome design, but when I fly it, it seems to make everybody leave......maybe I should have...
Hehehee With a few strategically placed mirrors, I can tattoo the neighbors cat and let you know how that worked!!!
That is why the press time is so long then, Keith! At 350 it is going to take quite a whil for the sublimation to occur! I'll try to get some corian from some of the local fabricators here and...
The vinyl won't hurt anything, just make sure there isn't any PolyVinylChloride (PVC) in it. It is the Chloride that results in a Chlorine gas that is the problem. It is toxic and highly corrosive.
Hey Doug, try this.... prepare your vector files (2 or more) for Corel with transparent backgrounds, then start a new Corel file. Use import to bring the first drawing in, add a layer and make it...
A little insight to the Artanium/Sawgrass mystery..... Sawgrass purchased the artanium brand and it is a lesser quality ink, in that the suspended dye particulates are fewer in number. That came from...
Douglas,
I have had some pieces outdoor usage on wood, metal and sandstone (none in Corian) and even in some diect sunlight with no appreciable loss for better than a couple of years.
I spray...
Sorry Jeff, it's www.transferit.net now. I also use www.conde.com for supplies as well as about fifteen others. Each one has it's own best deal.

Hi Guys,
I have been doing Dye Sub for quite some time now, using both an Epson C88 ($79) and an Epson R1800 for the larger stuff. About the only thing I hadn't tried is Corian, but believe me, this...
Hey George, I can answer part of your question.... Amethyst doesn't engrave well! I have a niece who is a gemologist and she wanted me to see if I could mark the Amethyst because when extreme heat...
Glad we could help Joe!!! Hehehe:p
Not yet Mitch, But since you posed the idea.... Hehehee I'm sure that I will this afternoon!! I'm not above swiping an idea now and then!
I am thinking that some thick acrylic underlit with...
