2/28/2020 – Can one use Illustrator files to print shirts. Does one need AccuRIP software?

Response From Enmart: Yes, you can use Illustrator, Corel Draw, or even the Sawgrass Creative Studio program which is online and accessible for free with purchase. Any program can be used as long as you can turn off color management, since that is handled by the Virtuoso Print Manager, which is included as well. No RIP is necessary at all, and printing is almost as simple as just printing a page to a regular printer.

2/12/2020 – This item has rubber feet on the bottom. How do you press the picture onto the back of the cutting board with the rubber . . .

Response From Enmart: The rubber feet have an adhesive backing, and are attached to a backer paper. You sublimate the board, then peel the rubber feet off the backer sheet, and press them onto the board after it cools.

1/2/2018 – Once sublimated, are these dishwasher safe? When cutting on them, does it damage the image at all?
Thank you.

Response From Enmart: These may hold up in a dishwasher well, but it is recommended that they be hand washed for best results as the hot water and detergents would likely cause the rubber "feet" to detach.

The image is actually sublimated onto the bottom of the cutting board, so cutting on the top does not damage the image in any way. If you click on the "Tips and Tricks" tab, there are full instructions and details, as well as a template.

Sublimation Settings & Directions:

• Set your heat press to 400 degrees F, about 5 minutes, and medium pressure.
• Legal size 8.5" x 14" sublimation paper is sufficient to print one per page.
• Design your artwork slightly larger (about 1/8 or .125 inches larger) than the tempered glass sublimation cutting board to make alignment easy.
• When printing, do NOT mirror your artwork.
• Place the printed paper face up on your heat press table, and align the cutting board on top of that with the bottom (coated side) down - this is where that extra 1/8" on the design size makes things easy.
• It is suggested that you place a teflon sheet or other thin protective covering over the top of the glass cutting board while in the press.
• When the time is up, remove the board from the paper immediately and set it aside to cool. If you used a teflon sheet, be sure to wipe any sublimation residue off before using it again.

This item may be sublimated using virtually any sublimation system and either Artainium or Sublijet sublimation ink.
