From cut vinyl t-shirt designs, to dye-sublimated tiles and mousepads, check out these cool applications you can also do very easily with USCutter equipment and materials.

1.)   Deadpool Logo T-Shirt

We used a Titan II, 60 g’s of pressure, and speed of 36 mm/s, to cut the red bottom layer from Color Theory Thin Foil.

The eye “sockets” are Chemica 3D-Fashion Flex Carbon texture, and the eye “balls” are Color Theory White Glitter (both materials cut at 90 g’s of pressure). The 3D and Foil are cold peel products.

Layer different effects, including Carbon 3D, Glitter, and Thin Metallic Foil.

We used a pressing temperature of 168 degrees Celsius for 30 seconds to apply each layer, with the last layer of Glitter being a hot peel. The thin foil held up very well, with the final peel adding a distressed look to it which seemed to work well with the aesthetic of the movie.

Sublimations Under Glass: A Business Case for Sublimated Vinyl Menus under Glass Tabletops in Dining Areas

In a previous episode, we saw the beautiful potential of dye-sub printing onto GreenStar Clear Adhesive Vinyl for decorations behind or under glass.

In this episode, we’re looking for a few good entrepreneurs for our sublimation shark tank. We’ll even provide the idea.

This video shows you all the steps, and details all the materials and equipment you’ll need (click here for the bundle available now!), for the process of printing vinyl menus to be placed under glass or on outward-facing windows.

The benefit of sublimation-printed vinyl menus?

They’re indestructible. They’re covered by glass. They look great. Watch the video and look at the pictures. They’re cheap-we did the math and one menu costs 40 cents. You can put games on it and draw on them, then erase it away. It’s easily removable without residue. You can change them out every week with new menu items, at a fraction of the cost of printing a new batch of traditional paper menus.

There’s the pitch. It’s your move now.
