WHAT?! 😳 Sublimation Tumbler with Mug Press ?! | 3 Ways to Sublimate Tumblers

[@MelissaMiller-w2i]

Best video I’ve ever seen!

[@evvtech9609]

I use the mug press for tublers with the silicone inserts from Amazon. 4 min, then 2 min, flip, 4 min then 2 min. Frustrating to have to do it 4 times but works perfectly. Maybe I will get a tumbler press one day but I just do it for personal use and not retail so can't see spending the money for it.

[@lindabradford9591]

I agree with you on the tumbler press. I'm just going to use my mug press too!

[@cindigiannantoni6255]

I also used my Cricut mug press, to press 20 ounce tumblers. Because I knew in advance that the lights might not work I just timed them for like five minutes or so. And then rotated them flipped them, etc. The heat does not go off when the lights stop working. Mine sublimated perfectly and didn’t think it was too much work. I also used the PYD LIfe inserts, using the thickest one. No need to waste time with shrink wrap. I just used some copy paper, like I always do with my mugs, to protect the press. If I had a business and wanted to do more than just a couple, I would definitely invest in a tumbler press.

Saw your video and thx for sharing great information!!

[@PhyllisDriver-dm9jo]

Where did you get that silicone mat??? that you used inside the mug press

[@JGallis]

do you trim all of the white out off the paper and what size is your image on sawgrass creative studios?

[@CrazyCrafter-le9ge]

Yeah! Success!

[@DesignBundles]

Hey there! Thank you for watching with us today! Which method do you like the best?

[@Ricks2Cents]

I have a Epson F570 I’ve only used it to make shirts. I have 2 Cases of Tumblers I keep saying I’m going to try. This may motivate me to try. Good Pointers!!! 🎉

[@dianasanandoconarte2748]

Loved it! Thank you for step by step instructions

[@DesignBundles]

You're very welcome! We're so pleased you like it! 😃

[@sabinemucke5572]

Hallo, muss die MugPress zwischendurch abkühlen?

[@DianaLopez-zw6wf]

I use the mug press w/butcher paper. I also use a metal stirrer when i press the top cup so that it doesn't go all the way down. I press 6 mins rotating every 2 and they come out perfect

[@DesignBundles]

That's a great advice! Thank you Diana ❤️

[@TheTara148]

Love the video! May I ask when designing the tumbler in creative studio would you choose metal or stainless steel? I know that you drag and drop it in print manager. Thank you! Sharon :)

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Sharon! All of the tumblers are stainless steel!

[@patricehawkins8322]

What temperature is best for the convection oven? I can’t seem to get a good tumbler whether it’s ghosting or burnt. I use A-sub.

[@DesignBundles]

It’s definitely a learning curve I bought a metal thermostat that can go in the oven and I use that temp 385

[@SheWritesHerJourney_]

Oh wow! These came out great!!

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you Deanna!!

[@rainecruz6260]

What size do you print your image to fit the tumbler? Also what app do you use to get it to the size you need

[@DesignBundles]

This will depend on the size of your tumbler, I recommend measuring your tumbler before printing. -Brittany

[@KD-uk6ge]

It worked, tumbler press liked best.

[@DesignBundles]

Hi there! Thank you for watching! The tumbler press came out great! It was hard to pick between the glow in the dark and the glitter!

[@matthewjmedeiros]

Love watching your videos, my daughters and I have started getting everything we need to sublimate. Quick question, which program do you recommend if you want to edit a design?

[@DesignBundles]

How exciting good luck to you both! I would use Canva

[@dianeelrod8232]

How do you wash these. Hand wash or can I put it in the dishwasher. Enjoyed the show!

[@DesignBundles]

you can put them in the dishwasher

[@dianeelrod8232]

Can you put this in a regular oven?

[@DesignBundles]

You can use a convection oven for sublimation but for safety, once you have used the oven for sublimation it should no longer be used for cooking food.

[@pattybarber5821]

That was great. Thank you. Do you have the link for the green mat?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Patty! Yes we do it's blue though but it works the same - Silicone wrap amzn.to/3JNFm1u - Agata

@@DesignBundles Thank yoiu

[@myutoobvids]

@designbundles What paper cutter are you using in this video? I have already bought two and neither one has an obvious line that allows me to eyeball the edge of the printed area so I can trim right along the edge cleanly. One just has a narrow valley under the blade but the blade is centered so I have to guess about 1/16th of an inch either way where the blade will hit. I thought I'd upgrade to Fiskars brand because it has a wire guide. Well, that guide is at a slight angle so the cuts are also at an angle if I use that to eyeball the edges.

[@lindabradford9591]

We are memory keepers cutter is really good

[@leeshasheeran-eldred7155]

Could you shrink wrap with the tumbler press please?

[@DesignBundles]

Yes :) 👍

[@SpankeynMe]

Can multiple tumblers stand up and process in the convection oven with good results?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi there! We suggest only putting one in at a time and laying down. If you have any sublimation questions, just ask! We are here to help!

[@bindabizy7256]

When using the convection oven, does it need to be dedicated just for crafts after using?

[@DesignBundles]

Yes

[@Rayadogs10]

You mentioned the glue in the dark was from Etsy but you did not link the store just the Amaxony

[@lollybaezcolon7190]

Hello, I did not see the link for the green pressing sheet that you used to insert with the tumbler.

[@DesignBundles]

I think you meant the Silicone wrap ? - amzn.to/3JNFm1u

[@lollybaezcolon7190]

@@DesignBundles No, I have the wraps. It’s the green pad you wrapped around your tumbler.

[@MsDstarr]

Do you recommend the craft pro heat press from heat press nation? Also what printer model is that on the back counter if I may ask?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Davita! One of the printers is a Sawgrass SG500 and the other is a Canon InkJet. The Craft Pro is great and may we also recommend the Stahl's A2Z Swing Away Heat Press - Dawn 🥰

[@MsDstarr]

@@DesignBundles thank you so much!

[@carrikennedy110]

This is a very helpful video! Which type of material are you wrapping around the tumbler? Do I have to have a sublimation printer?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Carri! Thank you for watching! That's called Subli Shrink: amzn.to/3zRHocD - Dawn

[@susanerskin3267]

I have a cricut mug press what sizes work best for tumblers

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Susan! You can use the mug press for a tumbler, but because of the size difference you would have to press the bottom first and then flip it and reheat the top! - Dawn

[@territ382]

Will a 30 oz straight tumbler work in the Cricut mug press?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi there! The Cricut Mug press will only work up to 16 oz so it may just make the 30oz if you are flipping it! - Dawn

[@flossiestrome824]

How do you get the design you put on the tumbler or do you know how to make my own?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Flossie! This is a sublimation design that was heat pressed on to the tumbler. You can find the design here: designbundles.net/digitail-designs/1493030-magic-potion-halloween-tumbler-sublimation-bundle?ref=uaruil - Dawn

[@lindawill7343]

Now I have a question. After doing the heat to these tumblers do you still have to epoxy the tumblers or you can just leave it?

[@Pattycake85]

N you don’t have to add epoxy, the ink infuses to the metal

[@lindawill7343]

Thank you. Good to know. Going to try it

[@aliciapadilla3573]

I like the convention oven the best

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Alicia! Thank you for watching! This was great to have 3 different tumblers with 3 different heating methods. Do you normally use a convention oven for sublimation? Any tips that help you?

[@LisaVornhagen]

That was interesting to see three different ways to sublimate tumblers. So a toaster oven would work as well? That would be great because they are a lot less expensive and something I could manage.

[@DesignBundles]

That is correct and you can find them at yardsales cheap

[@LisaVornhagen]

@@DesignBundles Great! Thank you!

[@MsDstarr]

@@DesignBundles is there anything specific to look for in an oven at yard sale to ensure great sublimation outcome? Like setting that are needed vs settings that aren't necessarily needed thank you.

[@leslieramm4754]

Hands down…the convection oven!!

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Leslie! Thank you for watching! Do you normally use the convection oven? It came out beautifully!

[@beatrizsoriano8651]

Walmart has a $20 oven .. would that work? I am on a budget

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Beatriz! What other types of sublimation projects are you working on besides tumblers? What type of oven is it? We can check up with the brand and description! - Dawn

[@louiseroach4598]

Thank you

[@DesignBundles]

You're welcome!

[@carolynneff4980]

Not knowing what I’m talking about I wonder if you could cut a circle of something to cover the bottom of the mug press to prevent the shrink wrap from sticking to the bottom 🤔. Love all your videos.

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Carolyn! Yes! I'm sure we can put something, as long as it's thin enough to not add any height to the mug press!

[@joseykeep]

This is what I do. Just a piece of butcher paper. It really helps.

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Josey! Thank you for that helpful tip! :)

[@ireneguerra6143]

Thank you for this great video. I'm afraid to try sublimating tumblers. I use a convection oven to sublimate glass beer cans. Why is it that the subli shrink is so so hard to remove? I stopped making this glasses because I was not successful taking it off. And too many ruined glasses because the sublimation didn't transfer dark enough (ghosting). Do you think it is the subli shrink or is it the temp? What am I doing wrong? Please help. What time and temp would you use? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Irene, we would love to help. Could you please let us know what program you are using for sublimation and possibly the products you are using? - Dawn 🙂

[@emmelynstieb8307]

Where would a person find the green mat!

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Kristin! You can find the Silicone wrap here: amzn.to/3JNFm1u - Dawn 🙂

[@PollySpiller]

After you heat the sublimation on the tumbler, do you have to add a clear coat or epoxy over it in order for it not to transfer when washed or to protect the sublimated image on the tumbler? Also, does the shrink wrap just hold the image tight while it heats or does that provide a clear coat over it? I'm thinking about investing in making these, but want to make sure I understand the process. Thank you!

[@DesignBundles]

You don't need coating for sublimation. Once you sublimate its "in" the coating and not going anywhere. Shrink Wrap only serves to hold the design tightly on the tumbler

[@kierstynkj]

@@DesignBundles maybe a silly question, what is the purpose of epoxy? When should it be used??

[@pydlifeamazon1121]

Wow,thanks for using our PYD Life sublimation tumblers,any chance for further cooperation?We also have many types of sublimation glass tumblers,sublimation ceramic mugs and sublimation stainless tumblers.

[@tiffaneywilson7032]

I'm returning my tumbler press. It doesn't matter how well I tape my tumbler and how tight my pressure is, it won't press the ink into the very top of my tumblers. I end up with white spots. When I make my tumblers in my convention oven, they come out perfect with no white spots.

[@DesignBundles]

Which tumbler press do you have ?

[@tiffaneywilson7032]

@@DesignBundles PYD Life 30oz tumbler press. It wasn't cheap.

I want to come craft with you! It’s awesome to see a face to the emails I get.

[@DesignBundles]

Yaaay! Happy you enjoyed the video ❤️

[@KiwiChooky]

Unfortunately you can see the last tumbler stained the Cricut mug press. What can you use safely to remove the sublimation ink, without compromising your warranty, so it doesn't press the ink on to your next project?. Ink staining is my main anxiety with my mug press.

[@DesignBundles]

Hey there! Thank you for watching and although we were using this method as a test, we wouldn't want anyone to do anything to void their warranty! Let us do the testing for you! Alcohol will help remove the ink.

[@shanakay9131]

I’m getting ready to try my first tumblers and I see everyone using tape but I haven’t seen anyone use adhesive spray so I was wondering is it not recommended for tumblers because it’s not food safe or does it leave a film on the cup?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Shana! I think people prefer the tape because of the tight hold it gives to the paper or fabric without any residue - Dawn

[@shanakay9131]

@@DesignBundles thank you I figured maybe there was a residue that would be sticky on the cup seeing as no one uses the spray for cups lol

Omg mug press too much work

this video is great . I think using the mug press takes way too long. i will stick with my tumbler press .going to try convection oven tonight

[@DesignBundles]

Let us know how it went!

[@meladams1216]

what would happen, if you left the tumbler with the shrink on....lets say you got a phone call and came back 30 mins later....still come off with ease??

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Melissa! You can still remove the subli shrink at any time as long as it's cooled. It's harder to remove when warm!

[@joseykeep]

I only use my cricut press. I don't use the shrink wrap. I use the 3rd party wrap and butcher paper. I love my tumblers

[@DesignBundles]

Sounds great! I love how many ways you can use to make these! Thank you for sharing!

[@joseykeep]

@@DesignBundles I wish I had a convection oven for more options unfortunately I don't have the space. I seen another video where they put butcher paper on the bottom (on the metal part). I do this too. It would help keep the shrink wrap from melting onto it.

[@CrazyCrafter-le9ge]

Maybe

[@Melaninbeauty88]

My biggest fear when it comes to turning it. Like if how much of a turn to make once its time to turn the tumbler in the heat press. I want to try this so bad. I have OCD so it has to be right.

[@DesignBundles]

It can be hard with crafts to always make everything 100% right ! Have patience you are doing amazing! And if you need any additional help let me know!

[@Pattycake85]

I use the tape line, sublimate it with the tape in the front,then turn it so the tape is in the back. Flip, repeat. Never had an issue. But I don’t use shrink wrap so

[@lindabradford9591]

You can make a little line on the butcher paper with a pencil also.
