Hi everyone I hope this helps other people ass well ass me lol. I need help with finding out what temp and time setting i do with glass cutting boards. This is the first time I’ve done glass cutting boards and don’t want to break the glass.
Also is it better to leave the mat on the tray or take it off? I am using the impress V1 auto press.
Make sure you have a sublimation glass cutting board. You normally sublimate on the back of the cutting board which the design then shows through the top of it. This means you don’t need to mirror your sublimation print. Clean your blank with a lint roller or microfiber cloth with rubbing alcohol. Make sure it dries completely. Tape your sublimation print on to your cutting board. Place butchers paper on top and on the bottom of the cutting board. Place in the heat press with the sublimation paper side up. My temp was 200c for 200 seconds. Using v1 heat press you may have to half the time and press twice. I can’t remember off the top of my head if v1 goes to 200 secs. Also this requires firm pressure so I would put a firm heat mat on top of the original heat mat to press. After you finish sublimating you could turn the board over to see if your design has come through and looks good. If it’s dull you could place it back and heat press again. Make sure you use your heat gloves as they will be hot. I would also refer to the time and temp your sublimation paper says to use as well. Hope this helps.
Thank you for this, I will upload a video once done 
Here is the finished result and i am absolutely over the moon with it. Thank you so much for your advice it worked first press 
Oh, it looks amazing 
I’m so happy with the results
Aww well done it looks great
I’m quite scare when pressing on glass. I feel like I would end up breaking it to pieces and have shards stuck on my heat press 
It looks amazing! I would also love to try this☺️
Itsamazing looks nice perfectl
I’m yet to try chopping boards, they just seem to scare me 
Hi, would you know what pressure to use with the Loklik auto press 2? I want to try sublimating glass cutting boards but too scared I will break the glass if I put too much pressure. Thank you
Sorry, I didn’t see your message till now. I use medium pressure. So, on the auto press 2 I normally gauge 40 to 60kgs / 80lbs to 130lbs of pressure as medium. I really hate how they measure their pressure as it should be measured in PSI but they measure it in kgs and pounds. I also used a firm pressing mat with my heat press instead of the mat that it comes with. Your board is more likely to break with uneven base than too much pressure. Hope this helps, if you have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you so much for your reply. I will try using a rubber mat. Have a lovely day
