The Type For Heat Mug Press With Dye Sublimation Printing

Dye sublimation printing is a pross which transfers a design onto another item through heat and pressure.This process can be performed on a variety of different materials, including clothing items like t-shirts and sweatshirts, mouse pads and coffee mugs. When applying designs onto mugs, you'll need a special kind of paper to produce a clean, crisp transfer and avoid ink runs or smudges.

The mugs used in dye sublimation are a special type, and contain a special polymer coating on the outside. It's this coating that the ink bonds with, and not the actual surface of the mug itself. The ink changes from a solid to a gas due to the application of heat and pressure, and this gas permeates the polymer coating of the mug to transfer the design.

Dye sublimation ink and sublimation transfer paper are available in a variety of sizes, from single sheets to entire rolls meant for large production dye sub printers. Efficient positioning of the mug designs will ensure a minimum of paper waste, giving you the most worth from your supplies.

Some paper brands work better than others for different types of applications, so experiment with your press, printer and paper to find the right combination for the best quality.
