ISub (Education) Limited is pleased to introduce you to the new
Pictaflex
Full Wrap 3D Dye Sublimation process, which has been
developed in conjunction with ICI plc.
What is unique about the 'Pictaflex' process?
Unlike the current traditional Dye Sublimation processes, where
you are limited to printing to flat substrates, the Pictaflex
process enables you to decorate with a full colour design or photographic
quality image to non flat substrates, which opens up almost infinite
end product possibilities.
How does the Pictaflex process work?
The process is simple to use and involves inkjet printing onto
the Pictaflex film with the Pictaflex ink. Once this is done,
the printed image on the film is instantly dry. The printed film
is placed into the heatpress, with the substrate, and the machine
is closed. The sublimation transfer cycle, which is between 90
and 180 seconds, commences. Once the cycle is completed, the film,
which has been vacuum wrapped around the substrate, is removed
leaving the substrate permanently imaged.
