Sublimation Printing

Sublimation printing uses sublimation ink, printed via an ink jet printer onto sublimation paper, which is then applied under heat and pressure to a suitable blank object.

Tools

• Epson Printer - Refurbished with sublimation ink
• Equipment for refilling the cartridges
• Mug Press
• Plate Press
• T-shirt Press

Note - Currently you will need your art work on your own laptop, and connect it to the Epson printer. Going forward we hope to have a dedicated laptop with templates to assist in aligning artwork with the blank.
