Top sheet

Post by tsherman »

Hello, I am trying to figure out a better top sheet solution. Dealing with IsoSport has been difficult, to say the least. They seem to make a quality product, but is there anybody else (preferrably in the states) that makes something comparable in quality and price? Our primary goal is sublimation. Thank you for any insight you can provide.

Unfortunately your choices are limited on US materials for sublimation. Crown for base and top sheet materials and Transilwrap for top sheet materials. Other than that I trust Isosport pbt and nylon products, and LA/ES has some nice pbt and some interesting sublimation products like UVR (which has proved well in watersports...not recommended for skis/snowboards). We have tried other sources for nylon and pbt with bad results. If you want to go clear or white nylon, you really need to go Isosport. If direct printing with epoxy, you can also decorate the nylons and crown top and base materials.
