How To Sublimate A Tumbler With A Convection Toaster Oven For Beginners

[@juliamadison7256]

Finally someone who gets right to the point and says what dimensions to print for 20oz tumblers

[@creationswithtory]

Sweet! Thanks!

[@bethroth815]

Those aren’t the dimensions I use and I use it as a business. For a 20oz straight skinny tumbler the dimensions are 9.3x 8.2

[@bethroth815]

Also cut the excess because it can leave ghosting. If it bends and air gets under it will ghost. You don’t need a sleeve. You can use painters tape. It’s a lot cheaper. Trust new I’ve had a lot of mistakes and there is a learning curve. I’m not saying it to be mean it anything. Just trying to help.

[@creationswithtory]

Thanks for sharing! I’ll try that, see how it works. 😀

[@creationswithtory]

Those dimensions work great for me. I haven’t had any issues. 😀

[@stephaniemoore3149]

So pretty. I'm a beginner. I purchased a Sawgrass printer. Can you give me some advice on this. Do I need to mirror my picture and where can I get my designs? Thank you!

[@creationswithtory]

You’ll love sublimating! Yes, you need to mirror the image. When you buy the sublimation paper, the directions will tell you what you need to do as well. I get my images to sublimate from Etsy & Creative Fabrica. I also just found out about the great Facebook group for sublimation. It’s called Tumbler, sublimation, svg designs:

[@stephaniemoore3149]

@Cricut Creations with Tory Thank You!

[@dawnpiens6629]

So the design space won’t let you do the images to the size of the cup we need to use another way of printing out the images right? I have never sub before. Totally new

[@creationswithtory]

You can print and cut it on Cricut design space now. Go to settings on the top left hand corner (3 lines) Scroll to settings, change version to Beta. You're probably on Live. And under Load Materials, change it to 8 x 11 1/2. Let me know if that works. Save your project first.💜💜

[@TraG614]

Hello, love this. Would you be able to use your house oven or you need a toaster oven ?

[@creationswithtory]

You would need to use a convection toaster oven. Once you sublimate in the convection toaster oven, you can not use it for food. Hope that helps. 😀

[@ayannablakely4888]

Hello. How are you. Can you tell me if the black and decker model t1313sbd will work for making tumblers but it says in description it's convection but the knobs says bake, broil,toast,warm. It looks like one you are using. Thanks bunch.

[@creationswithtory]

I looked it up and it says it’s a convection toaster oven. So it should work! (But I’m not a professional-lol). I had another convection toaster oven I started with and it also didn’t have the convection button, I just sublimated it on bake. Hope that helps! 😀

Odd question.. I am doing the 8.6 width but it's not fitting. I even measured and it said 8.6 with a tape buttt I am still getting a gap between the papers... what would you recommend your video has been so helpful

[@creationswithtory]

Is your tumbler a 20 oz skinny straight? The printer settings, did you check to make sure you have it set for actual size, 100%. Also, I noticed it makes a different opening the pdf up from the desktop. Hope one of those helps ya! Let me know.

[@HallieDaigle-q5l]

@@creationswithtory I am doing it all from a android phone ...

[@creationswithtory]

@@HallieDaigle-q5l I’ve never done it from my phone. I would just double check the printer settings. Also, did you rotate the image? Remember it has to go the long way, so it can wrap fully around the tumbler

[@JenLapent]

instead of paper can you use foil to line the toaster oven? sorry if its a stupid question. Also if you have one where the tumbler can stand inside of it how long on each side would you say?

[@creationswithtory]

That's not a stupid question. I just googled it and it said foil can be flammable. Wow! I didn't know that. I use parchment paper. Also, every tumbler is different. It depends on the brand, how big it is, etc. It's really trial and error. I usually try to go by what the sublimation paper directions say. I've been sublimating mine for 3 minutes on each side.

[@anjagraf2467]

welcher normale Ofen heitzt 400 Grad?🙂

[@creationswithtory]

Yes, but it needs to be a convection oven and once you sublimate in the oven, you can no longer use it for food. As it can be harmful. Just fyi. 😀

[@LovelyByNani]

What if my imagines aren’t coming out faded out of the printer. They are actually bright with lot of color?

[@creationswithtory]

Are you printing it from a sublimation printer? And using sublimation ink? Usually it’s more faded. Then it becomes more bright with the heat.

[@LovelyByNani]

I turned a printer I to a sublimation, I use the sublimation ink. Everything I put it in the oven or a sublimation heat press my images have a pink under color to them. And my image are bright right out of the printer.

[@creationswithtory]

Did you convert a new printer? Or one that had already been running regular ink? If it’s one that was previously using regular ink, maybe you still have the residual ink coming out as well? Also, as far as the pink shadow. Are you printing in best or high quality? Did you uncheck the high speed, are you securing the sublimation paper so it doesn’t move? Some times it trial and error. If you heat too long it can cause that as well. I would start with following the guidelines of the sublimation paper and mugs. See what they recommend and then go from there. Hope that helps.

[@Sheherhis]

I didn't get what the white paper your wrapping the tumbler in and using the heat gun on?

[@creationswithtory]

I wrapped the tumbler with Printer Jack sublimation paper (with the image on it) then I used a sublimation plastic wrap around the tumbler - and applied the heat gun to that. Hope that helps 😀

[@georgiannsatcher3781]

You have to be able to shrink the shrink wrap. You could try a hairdryer, but I’m not sure if that will work?

Hi, I have a tumbler press but looking for a small oven to do wine tumblers. Can you use any toaster oven that reaches 400?

[@lizziam]

Can you use a regular oven?

[@creationswithtory]

No. You can’t mix food and sublimating together. You have to stick w one.

[@celiaysergiogarcia5664]

So you don’t have to rotate? I have a similar oven but I don’t know if I need to rotate

[@creationswithtory]

I don’t remember what oven I used in this video. My black and decker was smaller, so I did have to rotate. In my Oster it’s bigger and I have room for my mugs to stand straight up, so I don’t rotate those. But I do rotate the tumblers. Just to be safe. 😀

[@mrsravenrose2u]

I haven’t started doing sublimation yet so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. But is sublimation paper the same as like butcher paper? I’ve been told when using a heat press I could use either.

[@creationswithtory]

No question is a dumb question. 😀. No, sublimation paper is different than butcher paper. You print your image onto the sublimation paper and then press the sublimation paper against your tumbler or mug. I’m not familiar with using butcher paper for sublimating, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible. Hope that helps 😀

[@mrsravenrose2u]

ok I must have misunderstood what you said then. What did you wrap the tumbler in before you put it in the oven? Cause that is what I was told I could use the butcher paper for.

[@creationswithtory]

I used sublimation shrink wrap to secure the sublimation paper on to the tumbler or mug. I used parchment paper on the metal rack, so the shrink wrap didn’t melt on to the rack. Hope that helps.

[@chrise0515]

My shrink wrap splits my 3 mins. I ordered my prints off Etsy. I got sublimation tumblers from hobby lobby. Mine actually had a line of burnt mark. The 1st one I preheated to long and it was bad. 2nd time. 3 mins and it’s burt again. Idk what the issue is now. I’m doing exactly what you did step by step 350 for 4.5 mins is longest I have got & still burning paper shrink wrap (HTV Ront brand ) is melting cup is burnt. Now I’m ordering internal thermometer to make sure my oven is correct temp

[@creationswithtory]

@chrise0515 I’ve never heard of that! I just looked it up & it says when you’re applying shrink wrap, if you put the heat gun too close to the shrink wrap for too long and it’s overly tight. That could happen. I hope the thermostat helps. Let me know. 😀

[@annettebecker9719]

To confirm you turn your tumbler part way through

[@creationswithtory]

Yes, I rotate my tumbler half way through. Also, don’t forget to place parchment paper down first, so the shrink wrap doesn’t melt to the rack. Just FYI, if you’re new to sublimating - you can always pick up a convection toaster oven at a thrift store. I wasn’t sure if I would like sublimating at first, so I bought mine there and got mine for $19.00. 😀
