Tools and Supplies to Make it:

• Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
• Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks 
• VersiFlex Light Paper
• Flat Heat Press
• Round Wooden Board

How to Make It:

• For this project, we are using a round wooden board we picked up at a local home decor store
• In the Sawgrass Print Utility, we chose Uncoated Wood for the product.
• We printed this on 11″x17″ VersiFlex Light paper

How to Press It:

• Turn on your press on and set the temperature to 375F (191C) degrees 
• Place your board on the press and line the paper up on top as you place it on the product.
• Cover with blow out paper.
• Press the wood for 30 seconds at medium pressure.
• When finished, remove the board from the press and peel the paper off as quickly as possible. 

Tips & Tricks: 

• Because you do need to remove the paper from the product as quickly as possible after pressing, it is a good idea to have a paper tab that you can use when pulling the paper off. If your design does not completely cover the product, you can pinch an edge before pressing to give you something to quickly grab.
• This is another style of product where you can alter the size of the design to fit your printer and press. The only thing that changes is how much of the product is covered by the design.

Tools and Supplies to Make it:

• Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
• Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks 
• TruPix Classic Paper

• Ceramic or Marble Coaster

How to Make It:

• For this project, we are using a sublimation coaster. Many of our dealers carry both the ceramic and marble varieties.

How to Press It:

• Turn on your press on and set the temperature to 400F (191C) degrees

Tips & Tricks: 

• Both ceramic and marble are materials that can crack in the press. Adding a silicone pad to the press can help protect your coaster during pressing.
• You can make the best use of your paper by putting multiple designs on one page in the Sawgrass Print Utility. Use the Design File area to add more than one design and space them apart on the page. You can also repeat a design if you are doing multiples of the same project.

• Pressing always works best on a flat surface. Try to have only the even panel of the jacket in the press to get the best results. You can also use a pressing pillow to help create the best results.

• Removing the VersiFlex Light paper should be done as soon as the press is complete. The peel is similar to removing a sticker from the page, you want to do a peel close to the surface and keep it slow and steady. If it is too hard to remove, increase your pressure or time and temperature.
