Make A Mouse Pad

I can make a mouse pad using either vinyl or a process called sublimation. This example is sublimation, which basically means I can take a photo or drawing, print it using special sublimation ink, then using a heatpress, infuse it with the mousepad.

The sublimation ink, when heated, combines with the material of the mouse pad. Vinyl just attaches.

This printer has been converted to use sublimation ink
This heat press will transfer to ink to the mousepad at 400 degrees for 30 seconds
Here is the new mouse pad, still hot on the heatpress.
