Tips and Tricks
Slates are a natural product rather than manufactured so variance between slates is unavoidable, please find a few tips below to help you deal with these.
Slates must be heated through to at least room temp before going in the press to avoid the risk of thermal shock causing cracks.
Pre-press the slates for a short amount of time before adding your print (5-15 seconds) this can help eliminate any residue of moisture held in the porous rock slate as well as reduce the factor of the slate dropping the press temperature when introduced.
It is recommended to press this product face down so the coated area and print are being pressed into the foam press bed on the bottom and it is heated through from the back, this can help even out pressure distribution.
Polyester fabric (which can be found on our website) is the recommended top cover for the slates as this also helps further out pressure distribution.
Slates will be extremely hot and will remain so for quite a long time when they come out of the press, be sure to have your heat-resistant gloves at the ready.

From order point to delivery of product, the quality of service is second to none. As always, a very prompt delivery for a quality product.
The slate always produces a quality gloss finish, for any photo you require.
I will definitely recommend Dye Sublimation Supplies
Well packed, very fast delivery. Lovely result once I had mastered the colour setting.
As always when I purchase from DSS delivery was prompt and products arrived the next day. I won't use anyone else now either for my blanks as the quality is far higher compared to other companies
Keep up the good work x
One of the things that set DSS out is their prompt delivery. I can literally order one day if its Monday to Friday and get the products within a couple of days. I have ordered my slate from this company more than once and am very happy with the quality of the products. My images come out amazing when they are sublimated and I would definitely recommend this company for your sublimation needs. DSS is also very cost effective compared to other companies out there and I for one will be only ordering from them from now on.
Second to none Love the size of these will definitely be ordering more

How to sublimate a photo slate
Sublimating the rock photo slates in a flat clam press. The video carries three tips worth having: pre-press the slate for 5 to 15 seconds to drive off moisture, press it face down into a smooth silicone pad so the pressure spreads evenly, and use a polyester fabric layer as a cover sheet.
