How To Sublimate A Tumbler From Start To Finish!

Hey, and welcome! In this episode, I’ll be showing you how I sublimate 20 ounce skinny tumblers. I’ve seen a lot of different ways to sublimate tumblers, and this is what I’ve found to be the best way for me to sublimate in order to achieve great results. This video covers the entire process, from printing your image all the way to prepping it for sale!
Not mentioned is the printer I use. It’s a Hamilton Beach XL, and it has been converted to sublimation. I also use Cosmos Ink and TexPrint sublimation paper.
I hope you enjoy, and if this video helped you, please give it a like! And also, be sure to subscribe for more fun and (hopefully) informative videos!
Of note, while I occasionally create unique designs for myself and for my family, I do not sell anything proprietary online…and you shouldn’t either!

Thank you for this step by step video, I’m new to sublimating tumblers so this is very helpful! Can’t wait to try it out! Why do you use the rubber bands on the top and bottom of the tumblers?

[@industrialfringe953]

You know, Andrea, I struggled with using them. The theory is, they are added pressure on the edges to try and keep good clean sublimated edges. I wasn’t sure they worked when I first started using them, and even stopped for a short while. I ended up thinking they weren’t hurting, and maybe they were keeping the edges sublimated a little better. I’m not 100% sure they’re even needed. If I sub in my oven again, I may or may not use them. I’ve found a much better way to tape the edges, so I’ll probably just tape them well. (I have a video on taping the edges if your interested. That video is for a press, but I’d probably tape the exact same way if I were to use the oven.) I always used a shrink wrap in the oven. There are a lot of folks that use blue painters tape or no wrapping at all. I wasn’t able to get away with no wrapping, and I hated the sticky residue left behind from using blue painters tape. Hope that helps! And thanks for watching!

[@karenbullington878]

Thank you for your help. I made my first tumbler tonight, it was a fail. My husband thought I was burning the house down when the smoke detectors started flipping out and going off🙄. Someone else had said to do 400 on my oven for 6 minutes. So not only did I freak out my husband and the dogs I burnt my tumbler, the ink is on but the tumbler is burnt randomly all over, sparkly but burnt. 😢 I will try your way tomorrow.☺️

[@industrialfringe953]

Karen, you’re not the first person to set off the fire alarms! When I first started, I did the exact same thing, 400 for 6 minutes. It was difficult for me to reduce the time or the temp. It just didn’t seem right. But it was! Whatever you do, if you don’t already have one, get an oven thermometer. The odds are extremely high that your oven runs hot. Almost all of them do. If you have any more challenges, let me know and I’ll see if I can help out. (Better me than the fire department!) Good luck!

[@MaribelMedrano85]

Good video I learned how to sublimate thank you. My question is when you put the tumbler without a rack just straight on the oven bottom would it not burn the tumbler since it is direct with the heat bars

[@industrialfringe953]

Thanks for asking! My oven doesn’t have that issue for two reasons. First, it’s a convection oven, so the heat is circulated by the internal fans, and on mine, the heating elements are toward the back and front, on the top and bottom. I do have a silicone pad on the bottom of my oven, but that’s in case any shrink wrap melts! Thanks for watching!

[@esmeraldarodriguez6174]

Thank you for this video! Very helpful. I noticed that I have to take off the sublimation paper off immediately after taking the tumbler out of the oven or the sub paper sticks to my tumbler? Any recommendations on that?

[@industrialfringe953]

I take mine off quickly as well, more so to easily get the tape off than the stinking paper, but that’s also a benefit. There are a few reasons paper can stick to the tumbler. Too much heat, too much pressure (if using a press), and sometimes the sublimation coating on the tumbler hasn’t been correctly baked on. I haven’t done this, but I’ve heard if the latter is the issue, you can bake the tumbler for 20 minutes or so with nothing on it, let it cool, then sub as normal. Thanks for watching!

[@rachelpettit5438]

Thank you for your videos! I've been itching to use the tumblers I bought. I loved that you were using a fairly inexpensive oven for these (especially since this one is on sale for on $50) but saw in your paper comparison video you are now using a press for your tumblers. Do you still think you get quality results w/the oven or in your opinion should I hold out & save up for a tumbler press? If you think the oven would suffice, would you still go with the same paper recommendations?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Rachel! I’ll start with the last question! Yes, I still recommend the same papers, regardless of using a press or oven. Now to the often-asked question, oven or press! And oven is more versatile and can sub things a press can’t. I started with just an oven and was fine, and I still have it to be able to use on odd sized things. Now for the press. I absolutely prefer it over the oven, mostly because I’ve created a routine and can make a bunch at once with the press. If you’re doing mostly tumblers, the press is the way to go. Two things. First, look at thrift shops for used ovens. You may be able to pick one up for $10-20, then you can save up and have both! Secondly, if you go with a press, I highly recommend staying away from Amazon and Alibaba, and go with a legit seller. I highly recommend Heat Press Nation, but I almost purchased mine from Pro World. Whatever you do, if you get a press, make sure you buy one where you can buy replacement heating elements!

I like your video what are the settings on your microwave for the Tumblr because I have now burnt 2😢😢😢...... Mine is a Black & Decker and does not have a turbo button or knob

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Cathy! I’m guessing you don’t mean microwave! If so, do NOT use a microwave! Regarding convection and toaster ovens (which I think you’re referring to), only use the oven settings to get you in the general proximity, then adjust those settings based on what your internal thermometer says. Ovens are notoriously off regarding temperature. An inexpensive internal thermometer from Walmart will get you close enough. (And I shoot for 365.) I believe I have a link to one in the description. Make sense? Thanks for watching!

[@marilynclark8442]

What program are you using to print your designs? Thank you! Cricut design space will not let me something that large!

[@industrialfringe953]

Marilyn, I run all my images through Photoshop Elements to resize them exactly, then I save them as a png file and print from the Mac program, Preview. I believe the Windows alternative is Quick Look or Seer, but I’m only guessing (after a quick Google search). Thanks for watching!

[@Shelly35able]

What program do you use to design? I’m trying to learn Inkscape. Would you be willing to do a tutorial on designing

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Shelly! I use Photoshop Elements (a light version of Photoshop). I have a couple of videos on using that program, and my next video is about using PE to make a tumbler image fit. Thanks for watching!

[@rampena9426]

How long do you pre heat your oven for?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Ram! I use an oven thermometer to get the temp to around 365°, and it takes about 8 minutes for the oven to get to that temp.

[@dontworrybehappy8493]

I have an old countertop oven that is not convection. It was headed to charity, but will be a good craft oven. Temperature isn't that different in a convection oven, is it? I also have an oven thermometer at all times.

[@industrialfringe953]

I haven’t used a regular oven, but as long as you turn it a few times, it should be alright.

[@haleymurray2243]

Can you make a video on how you make your own images?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Kate! I’m not familiar with how Cricut cuts (although last year I tried cutting some care instructions and know it was very limited in the size). For 20oz tumblers, I print onto an 8-1/2” by 11” piece of sublimation paper and it works just fine. My image dimensions are 9-1/4” x 8-1/8”, so it fits perfectly on A4 printers. Thanks for watching!

[@xDaddyx68]

Hi does the toaster have to be convection? Or can you use ordinary toaster oven?

[@industrialfringe953]

You could probably use a non-convection oven, but you would need to turn the tumbler a couple of times during the bake to distribute the heat evenly. Some people even use an air fryer, so I think as long as you can get the tumbler to the correct temp and evenly baked, you’re okay. The big advantage to a convection oven is the even distribution of heat.

[@xDaddyx68]

[@industrialfringe953]

That’s awesome! For a $5 investment, it’s certainly worth potentially sacrificing one tumbler to see if it works! And there’s a good chance it will!

[@SweetDee101]

Is it true you need a special printer to sublimate?

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey! Well, yes, sort of. You either need a special sublimation printer (Sawgrass or Epson sublimation printers) or you need to “convert” a regular printer. Converting is simply completely changing the ink from regular ink to sublimation ink. But here’s the thing. Not all printers will “convert.” It needs to be a printer that uses a piezo print head, as they don’t use heat (and a thermal print head does). That said, printers used to convert are almost exclusively Epson, as most of them use the piezo head. Check out Cosmos Ink on KZbin. He has some great videos on converting and they have great ink. (It’s what I use.)

[@industrialfringe953]

Hey, Norma! I now use TexPrint XPHR sublimation paper from Heat Press Nation. (I believe you can get the paper elsewhere, I happen to get mine from them.) To save some money, I buy the 11” x 17” sheets and cut them in half to make 8-1/2” x 11” sheets! Many people use A-Sub sublimation paper as well. I used it until recently when I switched to TexPrint. (You can get A-Sub from Amazon. I used to use 120 G.) some people use a high quality copy paper. I haven’t tried that yet, as I’m really happy with the results I’m getting now. Maybe down the road I’ll make a video about different types of paper to sub with!

[@MsQuita91]

I’m having problems with my sublimation paper sticking to my tumbler. What am I doin wrong?

[@industrialfringe953]

Shequita, it could be one of a couple of things. You can try reducing you time and/or temp. You can also try switching to a different paper. What time/temp are you currently using, and what paper are you using? Is you paper browning any?

[@user-rx8hx4xh2c]

I’m curious. Do you know at what point the sublimation process stops?

[@industrialfringe953]

I’m no scientist, but it’s my understanding the process begins at around 350 degrees, so below 350 would be where you’d see it stop! I’m sure the 350 mark is a little gray, depending on ink brand, temperature, possibly humidity, etc.

Hi, Robert, I currently have the Epson Workforce 7710, “converted” into a sub printer. When I get a new sub printer, I’ll be looking at the Epson F170 or F570. The F570 may be out of my price range, in which case I’ll go with the F170. They’re both made for sublimation, so the probability of problems is much lower! Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
