Can I use any old mug, or do I have to buy mugs only for Sublimation?
Can I buy Sub. ink for any printer? Or do I have to buy a printer just for Sublimation?
All I want to do is, black and yellow text on mugs, for the moment??
Im not planning on pass production right now....
screen print or sublimation?
any suggestions?
Re: Mug Sublimation Q's
Sublimation by far the easiest.
print press and cool and your done. no mess no nothing.
you will need to get:
mug press
sublimation Ink
sublimation paper
with out the paper and ink the image wont transfer it will just wipe right off.
and the mugs.. yes they need to have a subliamation coating on them . .check out blankdogtag.com they have all this stuff cheap and for wholesale.
thanks

Re: Mug Sublimation Q's
You need to buy mugs that have a polymer coating if you want to sublimate them. If you're looking for a few mugs to try out the process on, we can help you at myenmart.com.
You should also have a printer dedicated to sublimation. Mixing inks can give you very bad results.
All you need would be a printer, the proper ink, the right paper and mugs with a polymer coating and, of course, a mug press if you don't currently have one.
