Everything about Sublimation Mugs

●What is a sublimation mug?

Sublimation mugs are those specialized mugs that are designed for printing and customizing according to one's own choice. These mugs have a special coating surface, that is the ceramic surface.

●Can you sublimate your regular mug?

The answer to this question is- No. Sublimation of a mug only works on fabric. If the mug is glazed ceramic, then it's suitable for sublimation. Or else it's not possible.

●Can any printer be used for sublimation printing?

The only answer that exists for this is a NO. Because we need special dyes to print on paper and not all printers play nicely with them. Printers that use piezo pressure technology (getting too technical for me!) are the types of printers that can handle sublimation dyes.

●Things to remember before sublimation of a mug.

1. Get the right equipment.

For doing sublimation on anything, it's really important to choose the right and perfect machines. Since sublimation is an attractive opportunity, it is also easy and cheap to set up. Therefore, the only equipment that is needed includes a printer, plotter, sublimation ink, sublimation paper and a good heat press.

Talking about printers, we supply Epson ink tank printers which will help you to print high-resolution photos. Additionally, the colours of the photos you print with these printers are bright and eye-catchy. Moreover, you can save your printing cost with this Epson eco tank printer because the cost of per-page print is low.

Secondly, you will also require a plotter to cut various materials like MDF wood, acrylic, vinyl with the help of the plotter cutting machines. It has a cutting force of 800 – 2000 gms, as a result, the cutting is very smooth. Also, these cutter plotters have a fast USB and U – disk interface making the process of cutting faster and smoother. Simultaneously, this can result in increased productivity. Also, all the cutting plotters use less than 100W of power and help you save on your electricity bills.

In addition, to printers and plotters, a good heat pressure is a must. All the heat printing machines are easy to use with the help of a control box which they have. Also, the solid metal build along with safety systems make them last for a long time.
