What do you need to sublimate a tumbler?
20oz sublimation tumbler is the method of creating a product that has the appearance of being made from one material, but which actually contains another material. In particular, sublimation printing involves heating an existing material until it changes into a gas that does not exist in nature and then diffusing that gas on top of another material to create a pattern or image.
Sublimation printer
Sublimation printing is a special method of printing that uses ink instead of inkjet. The printer prints the image onto a material such as tumbler and paper, which then becomes permanent when heated in an oven.
The sublimate tumbler can be made from many materials including glass, plastic or metal. It has an opening for your photos to be added in beforehand so you can see how they will look once printed on the tumbler before you order one!
Sublimation ink
The ink used for sublimation is a liquid, which means it can be applied to a variety of surfaces. It’s also an additive that helps the image form on its own.
Ink is usually made from pigment and solvent (like water or alcohol) mixed together at a specific ratio so they’ll react when heated above their melting temperature. The result is an opaque solid material that changes color when exposed to heat and light—and doesn’t fade away like traditional inks do over time!
Sublimation Paper
Sublimation paper is a special type of paper that can be used for sublimation printing. It’s made from polyester and other materials, which gives it its high-quality look and feel.
Sublimation paper is great for tumblers, mugs, and other items you want to turn into something more than just another thing in your collection—it will last longer than normal paper!
Heat Press Machine
You need a heat press machine. This is used to transfer the ink from the paper to the tumbler and also from there, it’s used for transferring designs from shirts onto tumblers.
Sublimate paper and tumbler
Sublimate paper is a special type of paper that can be used to transfer the image from the printer to the tumbler. This is important and helpful when you are printing on multiple materials, such as glass or metal.
Sublimate paper has an extremely high resolution and works by reflecting light back through its surface so that it can be viewed under ultraviolet light (UV). This process creates a perfect replica of what you see on your computer screen or printed form, including fine details like hair color and skin tone.
Clear tape
Clear tape is the best solution for sealing your sublimation papers. It’s used to seal the tumbler, heat press machine and sublimation printer.
Conclusion
Sublimation tumblers are the most popular way to print your designs. They are very easy to use and can produce high quality prints that last even after many years. With this guide, you’ll be able to find all the necessary equipment and materials so that you can start using sublimation tumblers in no time!
