 Use an HP LaserJet with a SubToner cartridge. Print on ordinary copy paper and press in a heat press with your substrate. In about thirty seconds remove from the press and peel off the paper, that's all there is to it.

There is no better way to put black text and images on metal than laser sublimation. It's rich and dense and remarkably easy to do. Best of all is the considerable profit margin built into using SubToner sublimation cartridges.
Full-Color Laser sublimation is a stunning way to put vibrant, saturated colors on metals. We provide SubToners for the HP Color LaserJets 4500 and 4550, which still provide the best platform for full-color laser sublimation.
InkJet sublimation is a better means of transferring photographic images on white substrates, such as ceramic tiles, mugs, t-shirts, and mousepads. But for transferring to metals, laser sublimation is better both for the density of the transfer and for its hassle-free operation. If you're already set up for inkjet sublimation, adding a SubToner system can cost less than $300 for the printer and SubToner cartridge. It doesn't need maintenance when not in use and prints right the first time, even after months of not being used. No head cleanings or nozzle checks, ever, with laser sublimation. And it uses regular cheap copy paper.
We ran a SubToner cartridge through a kill test, to determine actual yield, and we got more than 32,000 trophy plates from one cartridge, which worked out to just over half a cent per transfer.
We've been making toner cartridges since 1990 and sublimation toner cartridges since 1999. This is all we do, and we do it very well. Please ask questions.
