Introduction

Sublimation slate is a coated hardboard that accepts dispersed dyes under heat and pressure, producing vibrant, scratch-resistant prints. Makers use it for coasters, wall plaques, and personalized gifts.

  • Pre-press the blank for 60 seconds to remove moisture before applying transfers.
  • Use 380–400 °F and moderate pressure for 60–90 seconds for sharp color saturation.
  • Finish with a clear sealer to protect images on drinkware or outdoor signs.

Open two or three Paint Supplies & Tools listings, confirm the spec that matches how you will use it, then compare prices and ratings before you buy.
