Glass Sublimation Blank Cutting Board 7.875x11 (CB01)

1. Are sublimation cutting boards actually safe for food preparation?

Answer: Yes, but the material matters. At Dyecraft Direct, our tempered glass sublimation cutting boards are specifically designed for food safety. Unlike soft polymer boards that can harbor bacteria in knife grooves, our textured tempered glass is non-porous, hygienic, and resistant to stains and odors. While they serve as stunning kitchen decor, they are fully functional workhorses for chopping and slicing.

2. What are the correct time and temperature settings for pressing a glass cutting board?

Answer: Getting a vibrant, crisp transfer on glass requires precise settings. For Dyecraft Direct glass cutting boards, we generally recommend pressing at 400°F (204°C) for approximately 3.5 to 4 minutes using light-to-medium pressure.

• Pro Tip: Always mirror your image and press with the sublimation paper on the bottom (white coated side of the glass facing down) to prevent "ghosting."
• Note: Always refer to the specific product page on Dyecraft Direct for the exact parameters of your specific blank.

3. Can I put my sublimated cutting board in the dishwasher?

Answer: While high-quality sublimation coatings are durable, we recommend hand washing to maximize the lifespan of the image. The high heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can eventually fade the vibrant colors of your custom design over time. However, the structural integrity of Dyecraft Direct's tempered glass is incredibly strong and heat resistant, making them far more durable than standard ceramic or untreated glass.

4. Why should I choose textured glass over smooth glass for sublimation?

Answer: Textured glass, often called "chinchilla" or "pebbled" finish, is the industry standard for high-quality sublimation cutting boards. The texture provides two key benefits:

1. Grip: It prevents food from sliding around while chopping, increasing safety.
2. Durability: The texture helps hide minor surface scratches from knives, keeping the board looking new longer. At Dyecraft Direct, our blanks feature a premium textured finish that ensures your prints look professional and the product remains practical.
