Equipment for sublimation mug printing

Printer, ink and paper

Use a printer designed for sublimation or a compatible inkjet setup. Match ink, paper and colour settings. Check the coated side of the paper and make sure your driver and design app do not both mirror the image.

Press fit and safe handling

Check that your press accepts a straight-sided 11oz ceramic mug. The heating element needs even contact across the printable band. Have heat-resistant tape, a lint-free cloth, suitable gloves and a heat-safe cooling surface ready. Follow the equipment manual for clearance and ventilation.
