ORCA 6" x 6" Glass Tile Blanks - 48/Case
Product Type:
tile
Product Details
xThe ORCA 6 x 6 in Glass Tile is a sublimation glass panel sold 48 per case, and because light passes into the glass, the printed image appears to float in a way ceramic cannot match.
Print shops and custom gift businesses reach for the glass tile for landscapes, water and any photo with light in it, since the material rewards luminous imagery and wastes it on flat graphics. Press face down on the marked coated side, and let it cool gradually; rapid cooling cracks glass.
Custom photo tiles list for about $8 to $21 on Etsy, so for example, at $18 each one case of 48 glass tiles returns $864 against $149.48 in blanks. See our time and temperature chart.

FAQ
x
Glass instead of ceramic?
Glass has depth. Light passes into it and the image appears to float, which ceramic cannot do. It photographs better in listings and it justifies a higher price.
Price difference?
$149.48 for 48 pieces, about $3.11 apiece, against about $1.72 for a 6 x 6 ceramic. Roughly double, for a piece that retails at more than double.
What are the press settings for the 6" x 6" Glass Tile?
Glass runs slower and cooler than ceramic. Around 400 F for 6 to 10 minutes with light even pressure, and let it cool gradually. Rapid cooling cracks glass.
Do I print on the front or the back?
Front face, image down, same as a tile. Follow the coated side, which will be marked.
