- PLEASE NOTE: With these photo slates you must press these upside down with a silicon mat so that the heat goes through the slate. Do not heat the paper directly as this will cause the paper to burn and the finish will not be as required. Using a silicone mat will help to sublimate on the rough edges of the slate to create a seamless image and prevent cracking.
Please note that the sizing for slate products can vary as it is a natural product

Troubleshooting and Tips
Larger photo slates are not suitable for printing on using an A4 sublimation and require an A3 printer such as the Ricoh SG7110 or Sawgrass SG800.
You can press these slates face up or face down. In our testing we did these face down with the settings shown below. If you are doing them face up then reduce the heating time by around half keeping the temperature the same.
Do not apply too much pressure on these slate as while they are strong the combination of the heat and pressure will crack them if it is too much.
Some customers like to preheat the slates especially if they have been stored somewhere colder than room temperature though this is not entirely necessary.
