If you have a Tumbler press then you’ll definitely need this step by step tutorial

Tumbler sublimation

Materials

Laptop / Tablet / Mobile
Software to design your print images
Sublimation printer
Sublimation paper
Paper cutter/scissors
Heat resistant tape
Heat resistant gloves
Butcher paper (not always necessary)
Sublimation blank / Tumbler
Tumbler/Mug heat press

In my case I’m using Loklik sublimation paper and Tumbler press​:o:

step by step tutorial

1. Make your design ready on any software you’re comfortable working with .
2. measure your Tumbler and resize your design to fit in the space you wanted to be printed.
3. print your design using a sublimation printer

4.cut the printed design properly and be careful to not leave any white edges
5.golden tip I’m gonna give you a golden tip to make your seam line perfect
Make the design bigger than what you need
Tape down on one side of the paper exactly on the edge (better using a coloured heat tape so you can see where it’s placed)

6.the side was taped should be under the other one like showed in the picture

7.now we have to start taping the Tumbler all the way up the more the better specially if you are a beginner

8. Turn on your Tumbler press

settings
190-195 Celsius
120 seconds

Some people turn the Tumbler after 60 seconds I didn’t coz the one I’m using fits perfectly and the Tumbler press closed all the way through.

9.after the time finishes let the Tumbler cool down before peeling
10.last but not least start pealing the paper and don’t forget to film or take pictures

Tadaaa
Here’s the final project

Hi everyone, just need some help, has anyone sublimated a 40oz tumbler using the auto mug press and if so what temperature and time did you do?

[Marino]

I don’t think it fits or? I never bought one coz the 20oz fits perfectly and fill the space

[LittleCrafter86]

Hi i have a sublimation pink shimmer 20oz tumbler, would the time and pressure be the same for that kind of tumbler or different?

[Marino]

I didn’t try the shimmer Tumbler yet

Wow! I love the vibrant colors! Sure brings the tumbler to life. Curios, what sublimation printer are you using? I so want the DTF iPrint but it is out of my budget right now.

[Marino]

Thank you dear, I have the Epson scf100
My forever advise is to buy an originallyade sublimation printer. Not a normal one with subli ink
I only prepare the design click print choose high quality and that’s it I don’t even mirror my baby do it by itself

[timmytation]

Colors are so vibrant

[Marino]

Yes I love the way red and pink turn out

[skyicreations]

Thank you for the advise. I’ve been on the fence and trying to find a solution until I can get the iPrint.

But dear sublimation opens more opportunity you can sublimate clothes there sublimation htv, puzzles, mugs and Tumblers, mdf sublimation blanks aluminium and so much more…
The iprint is only to print on clothes.
