### What paper do you use to sublimate a mug?
Sublimation transfers work best when printed on special sublimation paper. Standard inkjet or laser paper will not work for sublimation as they do not have the necessary properties to transfer the ink onto the mug. Sublimation paper is designed to hold the sublimation ink when printed and then release it when heat is applied during the sublimation process. .
### What is sublimation?
Sublimation is a process in which a substance changes from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid stage. In sublimation printing, special sublimation inks are used to print designs onto sublimation paper. When the paper with the design is heat pressed onto a compatible item such as a mug, the ink turns into a gas and is absorbed by the surface of the item. This results in vibrant and durable prints that are resistant to fading, washing, and scratching.
### How does sublimation work with mugs?
To sublimate a mug, you first need to print your desired design onto sublimation paper using sublimation inks and a sublimation printer. Place the printed design face down onto the surface of the mug, making sure it is positioned correctly. Secure the paper in place with heat-resistant tape. .
Next, heat your heat press machine to the recommended temperature for sublimating mugs. Place the mug with the design facing the heat source in the heat press and apply pressure for the specified time. The heat will cause the sublimation inks on the paper to turn into gas and transfer onto the mug, creating a permanent bond.
Once the pressing is complete, carefully remove the mug from the heat press and let it cool down. Remove the sublimation paper to reveal your vibrant and durable sublimated design on the mug. .
### What mugs can be sublimated?
Not all mugs are suitable for sublimation. To ensure successful sublimation, you should use mugs that have a special polymer coating designed to bond with sublimation inks. Sublimation mugs come in various sizes, shapes, and colors, allowing you to create unique and personalized items for yourself or for gifting purposes. .
When selecting mugs for sublimation, make sure they are compatible with the sublimation process and have a smooth, white, or light-colored surface for the best results.
