Mimaki Dye Sublimation with Brilliance Chromata White Canvas

2009-10-28 17:47:07

I spoke to my chemist. It is definitely possible to use our Brilliance Chromata White Canvas with your Mimaki. However, the main question is what temperature you are transferring your ink at. Brilliance Chromata White is a cotton/poly blend, so you might want to check the temperature that you will be transferring at and minimize the heat if possible. The heat on some dye sublimations may warp the polyester raw material. Brilliance Chromata White Canvas like other Breathing Color Inkjet Media are designed specifically for pigment based inkjet printers, but we have had numerous customers use our media on other types of printers including a series of Mimakis. But to suggest the normal type of canvas used when printing with dye sublimation, you should use a 100% cotton canvas.

Nonetheless, the best option is always to test the canvas for yourself. We make this very easy and inexpensive to do through our heavily discounted "trial rolls" which can be quickly purchased right on our website, by clicking here http://www.breathingcolor.com/bc/catalog/index.php?cPath=303. A 17"x20' trial roll of this canvas is only $23.99 and its precisely how all of our customers evaluate this canvas.
