Clear


Designed to enable the transfer of an image to any substrate using sublimation inks.Digi Coat clear is primarily aimed at light coloured hard and soft substrates.



In order to transfer an image to any product or surface using sublimation ink, that product or surface must be “sublimation receptive”.

This is not a problem when using specialty sublimation substrates but natural and untreated surfaces like wood, metal, ceramic, leather, stone, glass and other items pose a real challenge to the digital decorator.

To accept a sublimation transfer, these products must be treated with a polymer coating that when cured allows the sublimation inks to transfer onto the product. Digi Coat Clear was created for just this challenge. It is a simple-to-use; clear base coating that allows you to create your own range of unique and normally unprintable sublimation consumables.

The coating cures at 160 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
