Photo Slate - MATT Finish - 25cm x 20cm - MEDIUM HEART

We have tested these photo slates and recommend pressing them upside down so that the heat goes through the back of the photo slate. Heating the paper directly can cause the paper to burn and the result will not be as required.

If you are not getting good results by heating through the slate you can also heat the slate face up i.e. heating the sublimation paper directly. However if you are doing this please ensure you halve the heating time listed below. e.g. if it says 8 minutes change this to 4 minutes.

We always recommend using our 2mm thin silicone FAB Pad so that you can sublimate on the rough edges of the slate to create a seamless image.

Larger slates are generally not suitable for clamshell presses as placing the slate too close to the hinged area can apply too much pressure and crack the slate. Swing away presses are best suited for this.

We also recommend pre-heating slates if they have been stored in a colder area as the sudden temperature change can cause cracking.
