Ohh I'm so happy that you did this video!! You were my motivation to try sublimation! I remember zooming in your videos to see what you were using as tool for mug Sublimation xP Now, I use the epson WorkForce WF-7720 - I could find one of these for a very low price! I wanted this printer because I knew I could switch between normal inks and sublimation inks. I have this freesub machine and it's a really good machine. You can find it for a good price on Amazon canada! I didn't know about the warm water trick :O I'm going to try that for sure! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and tricks! 🤓

@@MelissaBennett are you in the US? You might get away with shipping your mugs first class if you don't do any sort of box (which significantly increases the chance of it breaking). Sadly, with a box and even minimal bubble wrap, 11oz mug weighs over 15 oz (16.5 oz is the best I managed). That would bump you up to priority which could be as high as $11 across the country (with etsy/shopify discounts). Might be cheaper if you're somewhere in the middle (I'm in cali so shipping to east coast is expensive). Experiment with different blank mugs. Some might be lighter than others... I've only tried 1 brand so far. Thinner cardboard box might cut some weight too but you risk damaging during shipping (same as the flat rate envelope or first class without a box which make it right around 15oz) All that said, mugs do sell... just don't expect it to pay all the bills unless you're selling hundreds every day. Best advice is to sell a set (3-4). That way you can ship them in a flat rate box and make a decent profit (and even offer free shipping).
It was very interesting and a lot could be learned from the video.

Just a tip, if you save the Epson eco tank ink bottles, the tops come off with a firm twist and you don’t have to inject it in if you just refill the bottles! 😊

Hey great video. What issues exactly did you have using the convection oven. I’ve read a lot only people seem to have better results with a convection oven over a press due to the fact that you can do full mug wraps and temps seem to be more consistent. Would be good to get your opinion

Thanks for this great video. Sorry I'm not sure if you've mentioned it but do you use ICC profile with your epson printer or do you print just as normal?
This is such a helpful video - thank you! I was wondering if you had any tips for colors turning out super faded or blacks looking like browns after the press? I am new to sublimation and I am having a hard time troubleshooting!
Thank you for this video! It was very helpful, I have a question; I am using a heat press for 11oz, and I been wanted to try pressing 13oz, do you know if I can use the same press or do I have to buy a different one?
Hey thanks so much for this, I have just started doing sublimation and weirdly have the exact same equipment you do! When I got the inks and paper from ink experts they said to use an ICC profile, but they don't offer one for mac. Do you use an ICC? I'm not 100% sure what it is, but I believe it has something to do with the colours the printer prints. Love following your business journey, and you have inspired me to pursue my own
What do you do with the mugs that goof?? Also...This video came on after “how to adjust photos on the Sprocket printer” and I have no intention of printing mugs but it was nice to watch... love your accent. I’m American so it’s different from here.
Thank you!

Yes the video was really informative 👏👌👍I am having a problem with putting words on my cups like example. If I go to write then print a name Marcus it's coming out thicker in size to the original font used....thats after it printed, what can I do to stop that....
Did you have a link to the cup supplier or did I miss that part. And how warm is the water you use to submerge the cups post sublimation. I live all your videos. They are the bright spot in my day. You are an inspiration.
Thank you so much for sharing! This was a perfect tutorial for someone itching to get into the mug life!

I loved your disclaimer at the end 😂 Sublimation is like magic - there’s so much trial and error Don’t do it unless you’re prepared to throw away a million mugs getting your settings right 😂
Did you try the cactus wraps + oven method? A friend of mine suggested it, it seems you can get very close to the handle, in fact you are required to touch the handle with both sides of the paper before block it with tape and then with cactus wrap (which has to be tightened with a screwdriver before baking). I know the process is probably slower than your press but in the oven you can bake many cups at one time so, at the end, I guess the numeric result should be about the same :-)
I have recently purchased an Epson Ecotank for sublimation and I was wondering if you use an ICC Profile for your printer or just the normal printer settings as shown here?
I'll be investing in sublimation this year so this is perfect 🥰🥰

what do you do with the ruined mugs?
You mentioned that you used to inject cartridges with sublimation ink, and put those in your Epsom printer - I have a Canon printer, is there anyway to use sublimation inks in it without messing up the printer? Can you buy empty cartridges that are compatible with Canon and just fill it with the sublimation ink? This video was super helpful btw!! Thankyou so much!!

Hello! I know this video is a while back.. but how do you get a transparent background? I put my art at png with no background but when it prints there is a background and not white

It probably wasn't sublimation or a cheap mug with bad coating. Quality sublimated mugs will never fade or scratch off.
Is the current machine you use a good one then? I've seen in previous videos you used others, so which overall is the best?

Do you not print with an ICC?
Hey, Ive got a question about the printer, Is it any printer you are using? Do you use different type of ink when I comes to printing?
It’s such a satisfying process, I love it!!☺️ how do you make sure your designs don’t bleed on the bottom or top of the mug. I have found that if my design was the exact same as yours, the bottom centimetre or so would be blurry. Do you know how to stop this? Thank you in advance xx

question: is there anyway you can not have the title of your video auto-translated?? The translations really suck. In swedish this titel now says How you printing out mugs with sublimation. And they used the wrong form of printing ontop of that. So really bad in swedish . So if there is a way to not auto translate the title is it possible to do it?? I understand that some people like the texting option on the video and don't know if the titel then also auto translate?
