If your surfaces are looking a bit bland and boring, why not try this new trend of dye sublimation where you can transfer any design, logo or picture straight onto your surface! This could look perfect in your child’s bedroom or even your own, and who says it just has to be in there? Try it in your office, living room and kitchen too!
Solid surfaces are the perfect medium for this as the dye is dependent on acrylic or polyester bases as they have an ability to bond with the dyes that are being used.
To start off, select your desired picture that you want transferring and then provide it to your dye sublimation specialist. Please remember to check with them beforehand to make sure that your image meets the necessary requirements to help them create a viable image file ready for sublimation.
And remember, your image doesn’t have to be just black and white, you can add whatever colours you like. Have something to match the walls, or something that will really bring your room to attention, pastels or pizazz, it’s your choice!
After that, the specialist will print your image onto an ink transfer plate and then heat up both the plate and the solid surface material. Once they reach the correct temperature, a vacuum process is used to transfer the ink into the solid surface.
And that’s it! Your image is permanently embedded, giving it a more artistic and unique style. You can even opt for a matte or high gloss finish depending on the look that you want to achieve.
This is something that is quickly receiving more popularity as each day passes as it’s a window for any home to look that much quirkier and eccentric.
