How to for Sublimation MDF

SINGLE SIDED

  • 190 deg for 90secs, light to medium pressure
  • Remove protective film before pressing, be careful not to damage the coating while doing so. Note for 5mm with black melamine backing, remove the Protective Film on BOTH sides: Before you begin, carefully peel off the protective film on the front of the white side. Handle your material gently to avoid damaging the coating during this step. At the back is a brown backing, remove this as well before pressing and reveal the black melamine backing. Note it can be stubborn to come of, try with a damp cloth.
  • Cover with silicone paper to protect you substrate from heat or getting dirty when pressing.
  • Avoid the heat tape from touching the MDF & print directly as it can cause tape marks. To prevent tape marks on MDF use a protective barrier such as silicone paper (over the design and MDF) to prevent any unnecessary marks.

NOTES:-

  • If the MDF coating does bubble immediately place under 2 reams of photo paper or something smooth and heavy that has no texture
  • As the mdf is a daily use, is can be expected with any type of material that is constantly being used and subjected to daily wear and tear. MDF is prone to chipping and cracking due to its composition of compressed wood fibers and resin. To prevent further damage to your MDF keychain, consider using a protective coating or sealant to add an extra layer of durability. You can also be mindful of how you handle and store your keychain to minimize any potential damage.
