If an awards shop is set up for sublimating soft substrates, they may need to add equipment specialized for hard surfaces.
Here’s our lineup of equipment for hard surface sublimation: sublimation printer (with RIP printing software), a heat press specific to hard surface sublimation (including heat gloves, heat tape, and tape dispenser), poly fabric (to help wick away moisture), blowout paper, a Nomex pad, cloth for cleaning the surface, and all-purpose cleaner.
If an awards shop sublimates soft surfaces, they may want to do a little research to find out exactly what equipment they already have that would work for sublimating hard surfaces and what they will need to add.
