HOW TO SUBLIMATE A LIBBEY GLASS CAN IN CRICUT MUG PRESS!! 😍

[@rhojo4912]

is there a certain kind of paper and ink to use in the printer ?

[@artisticmind1983]

Just made 17 glass cans using your tutorial 🥰 All turned out perfect and crisp on the edges...except the bottom of I forgot to tape it in my assembly line of cups😅

[@blacklily624]

Oh the ones you showed at the start look really good.

[@Craftress]

Great tutorial. However, Ive watched several videos on subbing on the frosted glass and not a one (the ones ive watched) covered the topic of the texture of the outside of the glass. I have 6 glow in the dark beer can glasses and the surface is very rough like a course sandpaper. And yours is the only video that wiped it down with the rubbing alcohol.

[@belcap]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I was able to sublimate my first glass can with my Cricut Mug Press ;)

[@TheWesleys]

Yay!! 😁🤩 You’re welcome!!! 🦋

[@loristone1264]

Mine stopps counting but if you blow on it it will start again not sure why.

[@dontworrybehappy929]

It's such a relief to know that the heat resistant tape doesn't affect the frosted glass. (I know, how else would I stick down the design, but just haven't used the frosted yet.)

[@tanyavaldez7706]

These are so cute!

[@TheWesleys]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@Carliemichelle9]

Do you mind please telling me the measurements for these wraps? Mine didn’t come pre measured 😢

[@christini2828]

Great tutorial. My question is. Do you use this cricut mug press to make coffee mugs? I was wondering if timer being off and on without going through the full process might change the heat settings.

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! Yes I make coffee mugs in my Cricut mug press as well. I don’t have problems with the heat settings but there are actually three on your mug press. :)

[@teena2cutez]

Awesome tutorial! THANKS!!!! My 1st glass came out Perfect!!!

[@TheWesleys]

Yay!! That’s Awesome! Thank you ☺️

[@crystalsimmons2560]

Can you please give me a suggestion or what to put at the bottom of the press if I don’t have that?

[@jeffthurston9835]

Why do you put the small silicone in the bottom?

[@BrandyBartz3]

Where can I find the small silicone piece for the bottom?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! I have all the items I use in my amazon storefront and linked in description under video it’s a little drop down arrow ^ Here is the link tho! amzn.to/45d6Rvc I just cut the square out from the sheet. ☺️

@@TheWesleys thanks !!!

[@sandramurphy6802]

I’m new to this and don’t have a sublimation printer so do you sell designs already printed out that you would just have to wrap around your glass and heat press? Love the video.

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! I used to sell some but I took them off the store. I may try to add sublimation transfers again soon!

[@velmalopez1556]

Can u use regular uv dtf transfers to do this

[@Albi72-e2r]

Hi, I noticed you've promoted a mug press and I was wondering if you could share your long-term experience with it. Have you used it intensively for your sublimations? After a year of use, have you encountered any technical issues, particularly regarding temperature maintenance? I've read several reviews on Amazon where users report problems after around 20 sublimations, so I'm curious if you've noticed anything similar. Thanks a lot for your help!"

[@TheWesleys]

Heyy!! Yes I have promoted the Cricut mug press as well was Heat Press Nation press. I have had zero problems with both of them and will continue to recommend them. I am not sponsored by them. They were just gifted items :) 🩷

[@jessicabarron7999]

hi if its one sided design, how long do i press for? thanks

[@leenaabdel5363]

Love this! Very easy to follow. My question is, do we have to use the silicone piece on the bottom?

[@jdow2405]

Happen to know which heat setting she used? Or which did you use?

[@T_rachelle2042]

great tutorial, straight to the point

[@erickzambrano8441]

The design can be from photoshop? Or it has to be all with the cricut program?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! So with sublimation you can use any png image file. The image file name will say “footballcup.png” for example. You don’t need to use a Cricut design to sublimate:) Some ppl use programs mostly for measuring the wrap.

[@monicamadrigal4031]

Thank you so much for being so thorough with the tutorial! If I do not have silicone, is there something else I can use to put on the metal plate?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! So I’ve seen some people say they don’t even use silicone on the bottom and have no issues but I just like the extra protection. :)

[@monicamadrigal4031]

​@@TheWesleysThank you!

[@arlettedeal6686]

​@@TheWesleys Why do you place the silicon on the plate?

[@BeaverRecords]

Does it only work on frosted glass?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! So there are clear glasses that are labeled “sublimation”glasses but you can always experiment with different ones. There is a polycrylic coating on sublimation glasses and that’s what you need for sublimation to work. I personally prefer frosted bc the prints do show better. :) 🩷

[@ondxbline]

Hi, which epson model can u suggest for more affordable price?

GREAT tutorial!! Just made three following your tutorial and they came out great. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much! 🥰 love to hear it helped! 😁 🫶🏽

[@jdow2405]

which heat setting did you use?

[@arana137]

looks really good I do have a question. what are the care instructions on cleaning it? Like does the ink come off if you soak them are they dishwasher safe?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! I would recommend hand wash only :)

[@CCorpuz71]

Hello! The square piece of silicone-is that from Amazon also?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey! 😁 Yes it is :) it’s actually a sheet of silicone I cut the square out of. Here is the link amzn.to/3KGobRG

[@nataliagutierrez6833]

What type of paper did u print on? and did u print on regular printer?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! The sublimation paper and sublimation ink is what’s used for this. You would need a tumbler or mug press too. I have everything I use linked in the description of this video. :) I’m sorry for slow reply. Hope you have a great weekend! 💛

[@stephaniefrenz3916]

Hi! Do you need the butcher paper ? Or can I use regular parchment paper?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey! I have seen some people use parchment paper but I prefer butcher paper because it absorbs the moisture that is created when pressing. 😁

[@vickytoshach2627]

Does it matter how thick the silicon over the heating element is? I have a silicon mat that I can cut up and do that, but it's a bit thicker then yours.

[@ingridhernandez5625]

What kind of paper we need to buy for printing

[@dreammakeup5791]

[@Wyrmwood66]

what ink is used for this? I have this exact same printer but just the ink that was in it when it arrived. What was kind of paper was that printed on?

[@loristone1264]

Sublimation ink

[@loristone1264]

Can't use regular ink .

[@CaseyvanOssenbruggen]

Hi! I can’t get my image to transfer to a Libby glass, but I was able to transfer it to a diff style cup. What am I doing wrong? Are there diff types of Libby glasses?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! So they need to be cups/glasses labeled as sublimation cups UNLESS you coat them with a polycrylic coating. I’ve never seen someone coat the glass and have just tested unlabeled items to see if they would transfer. Most frosted glasses should sub easily. Clear glasses May not always work. 🩵

[@TheWesleys]

I’ve used polycrylic spray on different regular items before sublimating such as tiles, metals, canvases, faux leather books. Just spray light coating let dry, repeat and then let dry overnight and sublimate 😁

[@CaseyvanOssenbruggen]

Ok! I returned those cups (def not sublimation) and ordered new ones from Amazon, they did transfer the ink but only slightly and I used the thickest silicone wrap mat. Can you add the link to the clear glasses you use?

[@lauraaliciatriana7369]

Hi! Ok so you just go to your images in your downloads ? Then print from There?

[@TheWesleys]

Yes :) I go to my downloads, select or double click the png and then file and print. The print dialog will automatically pop up.

Hello! I’m totally new to this. I’m currently using vinyl to layer on this kind of glass cups. I’ve been thinking of changing it up to sublimation. When purchasing templates if they’re not at the size we need it how would I adjust it to the sizing of the cups? Thank you! This video has been very helpful.

[@yuantabreyonjoseph8680]

The design that go in on cup is regular printer paper?

[@TheWesleys]

No it’s sublimation paper and sublimation ink. :)

[@LunarRainbow1]

I have a snow globe glass can. Is this the same steps for that too?

Which heat setting did you use?

[@danielleadams1287]

How long and what temp

[@symphonidelgado1094]

Hi do you have to order the sublimation prints for glass or can you still use the ones for the tumblers??

[@TheWesleys]

All sublimation prints are the same and only differ in size for certain items:) I use sublimation ink and sublimation paper. The printer is the Epson 15000 that I bought NEW and filled with sublimation ink. Do not use the regular ink the printer comes w. 💛

[@ericahowland7504]

Are the cans “sublimation” cans, or just regular frosted glass cans?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! They are sublimation glass cans. They have a poly coating wish allows sublimation to take place. :)

[@beverlymackenzie6058]

This is adorable! Thanks for sharing! One question--why do you need to rotate so many times, especially turning it upside down? Thanks! 😊

[@TheWesleys]

Hey! 😁 I turned it over on its rim to do the very top of the design because it wasn’t touching in the press when it was pressed on its bottom. :) Thank you for watching! 💕💕

[@rebeccazgheib4225]

Should the glass have coated coat, or does it work on any glass heat resistance ?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey! The glasses or items you sublimate need some sort of polyurethane/polyester coating. You can experiment and coat your own items but I usually buy things labeled sublimation bc I know they’re prepared. :) I enjoy experimenting so that’s why I try different things on our channel! 😁❤️

[@JordanFincham]

I have an Epson 2800. I did everything from my MacBook Pro like you did, but my image didn't transfer to the clear glass can using my mug press. Please help!

Hi there, just caught your video. Thank you. But have a question because I want to start sublimating beer glass can glasses as well as tumblers. I bought the shrink wrap sleeves, can I use this in place of the butcher paper? I will also be using the Cricut mug press. Can you please advise? Thanks.

Sorry, one other question to my previous one above...can I use the same process for a 20oz glass?

[@denisekessler4886]

Do you need to cool down the mug press before starting another cup? Or can you just keep going making them?

[@TheWesleys]

I usually prepare a few glasses and press them back to back. If you don’t prepare first then you may want to turn off the press so it doesn’t overheat and continue to keep turning off on its own. (It’s happened to me! 🫣😁

[@MsSkittles1980]

Would this work with infused Ink transfer sheets?

What size do you change them to if they don’t come like that already? I’m new to this

[@thenakaylajames]

Can we use the sublimation print multiple times?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey :) I would recommend using a print only once to make sure the colors are really vibrant and also reduce the possibility of ghosting. If you don’t press an item for the full time (usually 50 seconds for shirts/@380*) a lot of the ink may remain on the paper so it obviously wouldn’t hurt to reuse it if you didn’t want to waste the ink. 💕

What sublimation ink do you use? I bought the hippo sublimation ink but every time that I heat the picture on my glass cup it does not stick. And I even heat the cup for 5 minutes.

[@TheWesleys]

Hey! We use Cosmos Sublimation Ink. I have it linked in the drop description under this video. Is the glass you’re using labeled “sublimation glass cup”? Items need to have a polyester:polycrylic coating for the sublimation to print to.

[@starrspoter]

does that mean because the glass isnt thick enough u need them to work is that with any mug press?

[@Kitty_desings]

how many minutes for just one side image ?

[@TheWesleys]

Hey! It would be 4 minutes for a one side print :) 💕

[@alexleon5083]

Ever had any issues where the ink doesn't transfer to the cup? We are trying this with my wife have pretty much the same set up as you and or print aren't transferring? Any idea why? thanks for your time.

[@TheWesleys]

Hey!! Do you have a sublimation printer, sublimation ink and a press? Be sure the items you sublimate are labeled “sublimation blank” or have a polyester/polycrylic coating. A regular cup or glass may not sublimate anything at all if it does not have a poly coating/substrate. 💕

[@fadedprodigy8620]
