NOTE: These rock slate substrates are a natural product so no two slates are exactly the same. Small pits and imperfection are natural bio-product of these slates.
They have a rustic quality to them and are quite heavyweight. We cannot guarantee that no imperfections will be present on the printed surfaces and as these are a ‘natural product’ it is no grounds for a refund or replacement. If anything these sometimes not uncommon small imperfections add to their rustic feel and are an appreciated feature of the product to add to the unique aspect of the gift.
Suitable for outdoor, colours may fade in time
Description
What is sublimation?
Sublimation is a method of printing that transfers a design into a material or fabric / substrate using ink and heat. Sublimation printing uses heat to essentially bring ink and material, be it garment, wood, glass stone together as one.
First, a design is printed on special paper. The inks that are used turn into gas when brought under heat, then combine with the material and permanently print onto the fabric.
The effects are permanent and less prone to fading, as the ink is embedded in the fabric or substrate rather than simply laying on top like a normal print.
The process is almost like a tattoo, but instead of for your skin, it’s for your chosen product. The heat opens up the pores of the substrate, then with the applied pressure the ink cools and returns to a solid form.
The result is a permanent, full colour image that won’t crack, peel or wash away from the substrate. The process allows the ink to go from a solid to a gas without turning to liquid, a bit like dry ice. The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled by pressure.
Suitable for outdoor, colours may fade slightly over a period of years when outside

Kathleen Deasy –
I just had two of these slates delivered as a remembrance
to my mum who passed away.
We decided to have one at home and one placed at her resting place.
we chose the 30x20cm size, they were stunning and quite heavy
which surprised us, The colours were beautiful, a well made product.
Bridget –
I just received my order of one of these Memorial Plaques. It is absolutely stunning.
Great quality, beautiful finish, absolutely stunning product.
The owner, (Paul), was so helpful with this delicate process of doing a memorial for a loved one. You can tell he cares.
Would definitely recommend the product and the business.
Thanks for such a lovely memorial for our brother.
