A container of goods arrived this Monday and in I had imported 350 sheets of 0.4mm Subli metal. %0 each of 7 "colours" pearlised god , silver , white and 2 types of brushed gold and 2 types brushed silver.
At any rate over the last few months , when there is a bit of spare time , we been fiddling with our CLTT process , making some samples etc..had good results with the trials.
HOWEVER when we tried on the subli metal I brought in from China... the results were downright STUNNING...colours came out brighter , black was crisper and transfer was much better and a lot quicker.
Scratch resistance was exceptional , the only way I could remove anything was to take a scotch pad to it... I was very impressed. So now we going full steam ahead to produce a great range of items using the subli metal (obviously coated)
The sheets I brought in are 600x400mm (24" x 16") Enough for 4 A4 or 8 A5 plaques.
I thought the price was very reasonable .. $2.50 per sheet landed cost .. or $0.85c per sq ft...
Quality is VERY good as well.. all my suppliers Ex china seemed to have upped their game big time , we ordered a couple 100 A4 and A5 MDF faux wood plaques ( around $2 for the A4 and about $1.30 for the A5 and were totally stunned at the beautiful finish ...no vinyl wrapping , just a durable paint type finish that looks like expensive real wood..wish I had ordered more , we thought we might be getting just something ok'ish at that price which we could use for folk with extremely stretched budgets...
Same with the marble bases I ordered , superb finish , no chips or signs of carelessness with polishing and edges. Nice consistent black colour . I have no idea how this is done for the price , a 2.5" x 2.5" x 1.2" (60 x 60 x 30mm) with a hole , countersunk from the bottom is $0.25c landed !!!!
