What are some general recommendations for combining laser cutting/engraving with sublimation?

Lasers are a great tool to create custom shapes and characters for sublimation. One thing to keep in mind is to make sure that your sublimation substrate is safe to cut in a laser. Almost all sublimatable plastics are not laser friendly. We advise customers stick to hardboard (wood-based) sublimation materials for use in a laser.
