These are large boards, so plan freight rather than parcel from a single case. What to compare when choosing a blanks supplier\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What file quality does a 2000 piece board need?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Far more than a 110 or 252 piece board. Ask for the original camera file rather than a social media download before you accept the order.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Which subjects work at this piece count?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Images with detail spread across the frame: landscapes, cityscapes, art reproductions, maps, collages. A portrait on a plain background becomes hundreds of identical pieces.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can I run it on a standard press?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Only if the platen covers the whole board. Two passes leave a visible line where the halves meet, so a wide format press or calender is the realistic equipment.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What temperature and time should I press this at?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"We recommend pressing at 400°F (204°C) for 45 to 90 seconds at medium pressure, with the transfer tight to the surface and no margin. These are recommended settings only, not fixed rules. Temperature and time work against each other: a hotter press needs less time and a cooler one needs more. Every heat press runs a little differently, so press one test piece and adjust for your machine. Our sublimation time and temperature chart lists settings for 20 blank types.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How should the finished puzzle be packaged?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A rigid box with the image printed on the lid. At this piece count the box is most of what makes it a product rather than a bag of cardboard.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What can I charge for one?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Well above the smaller sizes and not in proportion to piece count. This buyer is a hobbyist with a specific image in mind, not someone comparing gift options on price.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Why is a case only 20 pieces?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The boards are large and heavy, and the product sells in ones. Twenty is a realistic stocking quantity rather than a year of inventory.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Which businesses stock this size?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Photography and fine art print shops, museums and galleries, tourism and map sellers, and puzzle specialist retailers. Grandparents Day photo gift blanks\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the selling season for a large puzzle?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Q4 and the winter months, when long indoor projects sell. Gallery and tourism accounts run through the summer instead.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How quickly does a case ship?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Most orders ship within 24 hours. We have warehouses in Fremont, CA and Kentucky, so your order ships from whichever location gets it to you fastest.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"ORCA Coatings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67818711285984,"sku":"91095","price":285.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/5300\/7584\/files\/91095_557c7b34-d6a0-4df8-8f05-ed0ac236e6b4.png?v=1791498043","url":"https:\/\/photousacorp.com\/products\/orca-2000-piece-sublimation-jigsaw-puzzle","provider":"Photo USA Corp. | Orca Coating®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
