Future DVDs
Hawes Enterprises is committed to providing you with quality instructional videos. We are always open to ideas from our customers on the types of videos you would find useful for your business or hobby.
We are currently in the preliminary stages of assessing the viability of a new video on the exciting business of sublimation printing. Many awards and promotional products are created today using the dye sublimation process of printing on aluminum that has been specially coated to receive sublimation ink. The printed aluminum is mounted to plaque boards or other types of awards or promotional products to make finished pieces. Many sublimated products retail for several times the cost of materials to make them, and they aren’t hard to make if you know how and have the right equipment.
This process is a great alternative to laser engraving of awards and the required investment is much smaller. The major pieces of equipment required to enter this business (assuming you already have a computer and desktop publishing software) include a sublimation printer, a heat press and a metal cutter. You could purchase all three of these items for less than $1,000 total and enter the black laser sublimation business. Sublimation would be a great add on service to your existing desktop publishing and printing business.
If an instructional DVD on this topic would be of interest to you, please email us at info@hawesenterprises.com and let us know. Also, tell us what you would like to see covered in the video. Our plan would be to cover things such as the various equipment options and suppliers, use of the equipment, sublimation procedures, assembling the products and marketing.
