dont think the insides and the bottom are coated with a sublimation coating which is why it fails. There is a sublimation spray that you can use which may work on the inside but as it stands I dont think it's a time or weight issue

I love that you posted a failure, it saves us work! I imagine the sublimation chemical is not in the inside of the mug.

Normally, cups are never coated with polymer on the inside! Because this coating dissolves when in contact with hot liquids and this is carcinogenic

That would be super cool if you could do that, however, is the ink food safe, or safe to drink from? I wonder if the inside is even coated for sublimation, and if the coating would be safe?

I was wondering the same thing, is the inside of the mug sub coated but also if you wanted to retry it, maybe load the sand inside a heatproof bag first and that way, you could press the bag inside the mug so it's really tight against the sides maybe and see how that goes but would there any health issues with the ink coming off and being ingested over a period of time?

I’m guessing no sublimation coating inside mugs. If you use a spray, I’m guessing you need to make sure it can be used with food/drink.

@DesignBundles

Hi there! Yes, we think that my be the issue! We also tried using a sublimation spray but it didn't work well either. We've reached out to sublimation companies and hopefully someone will create a product that will make this possible!

Is the inside of the mug treated for sublimating? Would that be safe to have contact with hot beverages? If so, what if you filled the mug with sand very full to the top, then placed a heavy disk of some sort that normally would fit inside the mug, but you put it on top of the sand, pressed it down and added a shrink wrap around the mug from top to bottom? Do you think that would be enough pressure?

can u use sub design with infusible paper? or are there designs on there own for infusiable paper and ink?

@DesignBundles

Жыл бұрын

Hi Vicki! Sublimation designs are printed using the PNG file and the infusible paper is cut using the SVG. If the design is available in that type of file and can be cut, it could work! You may want to send the image in to mail@designbundles.net and we can take a look! - Dawn 🥰

Thank k you.

Is the paper you printed the outside design on special paper or just regular print paper?

I believe the inside is not coated for sublimation. Also, the thoughts about it being a carcinogen or not good safe… if it isn’t food safe they wouldn’t put it on a substrate that is intended to come in contact with your mouth. A lot of things are toxic to you until they are cured. For instance, you aren’t going to lick liquid glazing for ceramics. But after it has cured properly you can use the mugs, bowls and plates that it’s applied to. There may be other issues with a liquid sitting inside a mug that has been coated and cured, but I doubt that as well. There are plenty of other sublimation items that come in contact with food, like plates and trays and such. Sublimation plates are not just for decoration, unless specified. Just my 2 cents! 😊

@DesignBundles

Жыл бұрын

Yea there definitely are the products that are safe once cured... working on figuring it out now :)

I was also thinking that the mugs might not be coated on the inside. One way to get around that would be to coat the inside of the mug yourself. However, I'm not sure that's safe. My concern is that the solution might contaminate any liquid you would put inside the mug. I read one review on Amazon that said that PolyGloss Sublimation coating is FDA compliant once it has been cured. And then I read another one that said it has not been tested for food safety. I'm not sure what to believe.

Maybe cricut should come out with mugs with a nontoxic sub coating on the inside and a hand held heat tool that fits in the bottom. It would be nice if there was a nontoxic coating we could put on and a heat gun would be hot enough. Then we'd just need to transfer the heat through pressure somehow. I'm not mechanical or enginerical 😂 but I'm sure someone in the crafting world can figure it out.

I've seen plenty of videos that use the convection oven with just taping the design on the outside of the cup and it working with no extra pressure. I believe it's just not able to be done on the inside unless it specifies it can be done.
