How to Sublimate a Mug - Sublimation for Beginners

[@tizzsy6056]

You've taken the complicated mystique out of a process that is so logical, and your teaching is clear and simple with step by step. I think this is the only video I'll ever need. And because of all this, you have inspired me to invest in good equipment (Epson here in the UK) and the confidence to go for it. I'll come back when I've made my first million ... (mistakes, that is lol). Thank you so much.

[@HalfAssHomestead]

I use the Epson ET4700 with Hiipoo Inks on HTTP-XP TexPrint Paper. The results are phenomenal, and her guidance will save you a ton in wasted mugs/ink/paper. Don't be like me, just mirror every image from the get go. I also use Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo which are much cheaper alternatives to Adobe products, but work the same.

[@omaralvarez3564]

True

[@PiecesOfJenus]

Lol .. I agree!

[@HalfAssHomestead]

I just got the same exact press in the mail today, and needed a good starting point. In my Cooks 1000 watt convection oven, they were taking 15 minutes. This is so much faster, and like you said, the handle is not hot. Huge game changer. Thank you.

[@laptopm1113]

i like the fact that you speak rather quick! i never have the patience with slow speaking people, thanx!!

[@Jumatico]

Omg facts😂

[@tammycurlett2213]

I am new with using Cricut and sublimation. I have been searching hours trying to figure this out. Thank you so much.

[@williefufu2985]

Wow, you took my breath away when you peeled that white paper away to reveal the image on the cup, that is amazing.

[@asteranggong4445]

Where can we buy the machine/heater

[@HalfAssHomestead]

@@asteranggong4445 I just got mine today from Amazon. Exact same one she uses, and around $130 (USD)

[@uniquelywhynotcraft]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. No fluff, just right into and the right details I needed. Your mugs turned out really cute!

[@chocolatebutterfly9295]

Thank you for this very simple, creative, and non-complicated short video. I am now a new subbie. I will be looking forward to watching more

[@paulm.ellender2426]

Simple and straight to the point. Thank you so much for that.

[@PiecesOfJenus]

Great video! I'm new to sublimating and your video is one of the few that I really enjoy! Thank you so much for sharing! Keep up the great work! Bless you!

[@vincentekpukhon9]

thanks for your teaching , I look forward to seeing you nest time around, my regards

[@bridgettmason3844]

So thankful I found your video. I had a hard time getting the right temp and went through several mugs with no success. Your settings and time are perfect.

[@HalfAssHomestead]

The 400 degrees F is a magical number. Anything less it will not work. Anything more, and you may lose the vibrancy of the image. On T-Shirts, and Aluminum picture blanks you only want to press for 1 minute.

[@maribelperez5841]

Would you be able to make a tutorial on how to create a template?

[@LorrieNunemaker]

I have several videos showing the process and various ways to make the images and templates. Also the place you buy your mugs usually have free templates to download

[@rozz5844]

Great tutorial cant wait to jump into this as soon as i order the equipment.Thank you

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

Excellent video. Thank you for all the details to create beautiful mugs. 🌸🌺💐🌸🌺💐🌸🌺💐🌸

[@chelleweatherspoon2226]

This was very helpful and helped me decide that I do want to get this press. Thank you so much.

[@bianca201008]

Thank you so much for your tutorial video! Because of you my images came out so much better! Thank you!!!

[@msdeejcee1]

Very nice video. You have made this process so easy to understand. I will be trying copy paper also. Thank You

[@Craftybowladychannel]

This is the best tutorial!! Thank you I'm ready to get started.

[@davidharle952]

Thank you for the settings, much appreciated. My mugs have turned out perfect.

[@dslafacionttdonnacooper1482]

First timer and I just subscribed to your Channel looking forward to checking out all your other videos

[@barbarachilders1921]

Can you tell me about how many prints you get out of the regular ink cartridges? And the other question is the cost of the drum when you have to replace that.

[@prettylittlethingsbycharma4284]

Best video ever! Thank you so much for sharing 💕

[@christinedauzat6077]

It looks so professional. Thanks for sharing

[@bali_fam7796]

Oh, I love how you do the demo!❤

[@jenniferwalters4037]

Can you put these in the oven like the tumblers ????

[@FrozenNorthAK]

Thanks for all your help!

[@javanaguirre4425]

This was amazing thank you so much for the video! It's been so helpful!!!

[@dsmooothrich4280]

Thank you best tutorial I've seen on this they look great.

[@judyestrada1446]

They are very nice Lorrie! Thank you for sharing.

[@TheNingui]

If the picture is dark did you print like that or did you make it brighter before printing?

[@lisaferrucci1640]

Great video TY. I am having trouble with the final product. The color doesn't come out good on the mug. The black looks dark green. Am I pressing for too long. Not sure if I have to wait to the press get back to 400 once the mug is in. The temp decreases so much when the mug is put in. TY

[@aqelgordodela2019]

BEAUTIFUL ❤️ THANK YOU FOR SHARING

[@empowercarole11]

Really appreciate your straightforward and step-by-step approach to making sublimation mugs. Why did you choose the BetterSub mug press vs Cricut mug press?

[@donnapennie8126]

Looks simple enough. However, I would have liked to see the mug press a little closer

[@christinarice8512]

What setting do you use in the sawgrass print manager?

[@segiafaletoi6212]

Hi thanks for sharing your experience. But I jst want to know type of mug to supplement.

[@lorrainecohen5956]

What size does the paper need to be cut to to wrap around the mug perfectly like that?

[@aaronaustrie]

Hopefully I'll learn from this cup sublimation tutorial!

[@NatashaSapienza]

Hi Lorrie! I know you made this 3 years ago. Wondering if you have a trick to avoid the tape discoloring the design for wrap arounds? Thank you!!

[@LorrieNunemaker]

I’ve not had that issue. Maybe try another brand of tape. It shouldn’t leave a mark

[@Ofelia-lq5wi]

Can I use a regular printer with the sublimation paper?

[@kjohnson8081]

So on the double pics what are the dimensions or how far apart do the pics need to be

[@jjlove9644]

once you print, do you use powder and oven first?

[@lagmanart3328]

I started heat pressing mugs now and enjoying it. Although not liking the smell of burnt paper or ink. Do you have this experience while heat pressing? Any bad effects to our health?

[@tanyabrown7780]

I would like to know how do you get the pictures to go on the paper and have four different pictures or make them smaller for one mug you didn’t show how you use your app

[@yocz2007]

Very instructive tutorial, thanks a lot!

[@LollyPalooza]

they came out so vibrant! TFS

[@LollyPalooza]

@@stevelamore4178 hello

Hello I followed your instructions on subbing a mug and it came out great. However, I couldn't print on it. Could you please explain what I need to do? How you have "Blessed Mama" Thank You in advance.

[@gisellealleyne8477]

My 1st time am excited wooohoooo

I need help on what size to make a wrap around one also how to add multiple pictures any help plz

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Affinity Designer will allow you to place the images. Max size to wrap an 11oz. mug is 9" x 3.75

[@nancylevesque6867]

Thank you very much for all your help, I have decided to go subliminal you were very helpful in my decision thank you again for that

[@esmeraldarivera4890]

Have u tried using the mug heat press for tumblers

[@davidhenriques7791]

We just got this today what exactly does the trigger button do we’re so confused probably something so easy too

[@sadamsdykes]

Thanks for this photo mug tutorial. Please inform me what temperature and how long did you have to sublimate the mug?

[@LorrieNunemaker]

It’s all in the video

[@ronaldballantyne9214]

I want to start my own printing of mugs. What do I need?

[@rebeccaabbott-fryer8472]

really interesting thank you im just looking in to buying this printer do you know how much ink is used when you print a mug all the way round. any most of guidance on this would be really useful Thanks R

[@pocketsofsunshine]

Thank you so much. Perfect instructions ❤

[@aprilmost]

What size do you make these designs the full wrap and two photos

[@JerrySmith-fg3pg]

great thank you can I ask what programme you used for printing your print ? Word? etc thank you

[@michellekoehler5334]

So nice! I haven't tackled mugs yet. I have a press but haven't attempted to use it on mugs. Have you tried the water slide paper on mugs? Is that durable? I can't invest in this printer right now but would love to try a mug one day wothaterials I have.

[@LorrieNunemaker]

I have not tried waterslide

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Buy a cheaper printer. I use he Epson ET4700

[@veronicaevans9438]

really good mug thanks for doing this video

[@starleighfahey3012]

How hot do u have your press and what printer settings do you to print the photos?

[@kg811]

How do you make sure that the picture or design is straight on your cup?

[@sheilaharston185]

Do you have a problem with the bottom of the mug print fading out? Mine does not sure how to fix it?

[@chinnaphuma2667]

can i get any tips on a full wrap? one side is always ghosting near the edge and even if i flip and press twice. i can’t seem to figure it out. what am i doing wrong?

[@Mspre412]

Great tutorial! Thank you so mug for sharing lol! What are the measurements for all around? Thanks in advance!

[@HalfAssHomestead]

All around except under the handle is 9 inches x 3.75 inches. However, using standard 8.5 x 11 sheets look awesome, printing side to side with no borders.

[@michaelkelly5156]

Hi what paper setting did you use for the sublimation paper?

[@cindiloo4468]

Absolutely fascinating and I checked out the mug press ... wow what a reasonable price! Have you ever owned or used a combo heat press with all the additional mug press, plate press, hat press? Would love to have the entire thing especially to do Christmas plates and giving plates. Would you have a recommendation? Thank you for your great videos, I don't always comment but I watch and appreciate each and every one of them.

[@LorrieNunemaker]

Cindi Loo I’ve not had the combo units. I was always afraid one piece or the other would quit working and then I’d have to replace the whole thing. I have had a few heat presses and this is the only mug press I’ve used

[@jorko3368]

hey could u tell me how do you make the size of the print right so it can fit the mug?

[@vickynguyen9499]

You said one with regular printing paper?

[@oliveraucoc2146]

Great tutorial… now for the purchase of the appropriate mugs as well as heat transfer or heat resistant tape. I mention sublimation anything and most people look at at me like I’ve got three eyes… Any suggestions where I can find both mugs and tape?

[@LorrieNunemaker]

[@kydapelotimex3576]

Wow!you did amazing job on sublimation products!Good job

[@LorrieNunemaker]

Thank you

[@luxenettoyageross7791]

Hi Lorrie how do I make the multiple print on same paper do I have to put them all together as one file to print or I can do separate print ?? I have an Epson xp4100

[@xime4120]

You are awesome! Thanks for the clear explanation

[@toxikcherry13]

Did you need special ink or regular inkjet ink will work? Thank you ❤️

[@santoshdnyanmote5170]

Which ink do you use? Normal inkjet printer ink or sublimation ink?

[@kyliebalfour]

Is there a way to you can do it so the image doesn’t reverse when you print it?

[@billboyer1025]

She said just uncheck mirror

[@janiejaniella]

I am new to Cricut on a Mac id live tips or how to install the drivers or how to print directly

[@otisreaves5226]

Gosh your beautiful!!!! Informative, concise, and very helpful video Thank you!!!

[@petronelalates8623]

can you tell me in which program do you work the designs please? thanks

[@laurabanks4011]

Fantastic. Is there a link to the mug press please

[@erykadominguez1738]

What if you don’t have a sawgrass printer, but another sublimation printer? I can use it just the same, correct? Can I design something on design space (Cricut) and then print and sublimate? What dimensions do you use for images for the mugs?

[@LorrieNunemaker]

You can design in design space but be sure that if you print from there that you use the correct color profile for your printer. Color profiles can have a dramatic effect on sublimation final results.

[@stacyhobbs2357]

Love the video....thank you for sharing. Definitely going to look into purchasing the necessary equipment. What brands are you using in the video, I did not see any links.

[@HalfAssHomestead]

I use the Epson ET4700 printer with Hipoo inks and TexPrint HP-XP papers. I have the same mug press from Amazon for around $130 (USD)

[@HalfAssHomestead]

[@dorisrosa]

I saw a video where they just put the mugs into the oven, so you think that would work instead of buying a mug press?

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Yes, but it has to be a dedicated oven. Not one used for cooking food in. I have a cooks 1000 watt convection oven that works well, but takes 15 minutes to get a vibrant transfer.

[@jeffbdw]

would that mug press accommodate metal sublimation tumblers?

[@LorrieNunemaker]

As long as they fit inside yes you can sublimate other tumblers

[@madelinea.8596]

I ordered the 4 pc mug set from your description and I was excited to get them but after reading about them it states I have to coat it to make them for sublimation I’m am so disappointed. So which ones did you actually order & use in this video ?

[@LorrieNunemaker]

Very strange. The listing must have changed. I just checked them and two of the three are sublimation. The set of four has changed and will be deleted. You can return them to Amazon

[@madelinea.8596]

I contacted them and they refunded my money and told me to keep the mugs. So the other two on the list are sublimation mugs?

[@LorrieNunemaker]

Yes. Any listing should state they are sublimation mugs. If it doesn’t they won’t work

[@HalfAssHomestead]

I get mine by the cases from Johnson Plastics Plus. Never had any issues with them.

[@lisakliniewski3794]

Hi, thank you for your very simple clear video's!! When you use the copy paper do you use the sub ink or inkjet printer. I just did my first mug thank you to your video. I did use sub paper and ink but curious about copy paper.

[@LorrieNunemaker]

Always sub ink. The magic is in the ink, not the paper

[@Lelandlipe]

what resolotion shoud pics be?? I do a lot of artwork! thanks

[@dslafacionttdonnacooper1482]

What's the difference between a sublimation mug and a regular mug and can I use regular printing paper on a regular mug in the machine you know like the paper you use to print on shirts to buy Antonette on can I use that paper to put on a mug a regular mug thanks for the video you are so awesome keep up the good work I'm thinking of buying one of those machines but I need to know if it is going to work for what I needed to do it will cost me too much money for sublimation Mouse I don't know if they even sell that here in the Trinidad Island

[@LorrieNunemaker]

You must use a sublimation mug. It’s a mug that has been pretreated with a poly coating that will absorb the sublimation ink. You must use a printer with sublimation ink in it. You can use copy paper or sublimation paper

[@Poochiewhipple]

Which reg copy paper did u use for the first ones? .. wha brand and stuff?
