Sublimation Coffee Cup

11oz blank sublimation ceramic coffee mugs. These can also be used with UV DTF  The recommended settings below may need adjustments for the best results. Settings will vary depending on the heat press brand and model ink and paper and atmospheric conditions. The substrate should be at room temperature  Specification Mug Press: 385°F Time: 190 seconds depending on artwork Steps: 1. Cut your transfers so that the transfer is slightly larger vertically than the mug. 2. Position the substrate onto the transfer. 3. Tape two ends of the transfer allowing for the gap in the mug press where it will close. 4. Wrap a piece of scratch paper around the transfer and mug taping if necessary. 5. Center the transfer and mug in the mug press. 6. Close the mug press using the heat press settings above. 7. Remove items from the press immediately. Use heat resistant gloves if necessary - the items will be very hot. 8. Remove transfer and scratch paper. Tips: - If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or the time slightly (10-15 seconds). - If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears yellowed or has brown spots on the rim of the top or bottom of the mug reduce the time slightly (10-15 seconds). - Too much pressure can cause trapped moisture in the paper to "jet" away pulling ink with it in a spiked-peaked formation. To avoid this reduce the pressure. - Take care when applying pressure as too much press can cause the tumbler to bend slightly which will prevent the lid from fitting properly. IN A CONVECTION OVEN: Note: Because not all ovens are created equally the time in an oven can range from 6 to 9 minutes. Convection oven is recommended.Settings will vary depending on the oven brand and model ink and paper and atmospheric conditions. 2nd Note: Be sure that the artwork does not go beyond the size limits of the wrap. Oven settings: - temperature - 385 degrees F - dwell time - 6.5 to 8.5 minutes - pressure - light to medium STEPS: 1. Position transfer onto the substrate using heat tape (or painters tape) to secure the transfer to the substrate. itself. 2. Pull from oven and remove wrap and paper. Caution contents will be hot use heat resistant gloves for safety. Tips: - If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or the time slightly (30-45 seconds). - If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears yellowed or has brown spots reduce the time slightly (30-45 seconds).
