Just made 17 glass cans using your tutorial 🥰 All turned out perfect and crisp on the edges...except the bottom of I forgot to tape it in my assembly line of cups😅
Great tutorial. However, Ive watched several videos on subbing on the frosted glass and not a one (the ones ive watched) covered the topic of the texture of the outside of the glass. I have 6 glow in the dark beer can glasses and the surface is very rough like a course sandpaper. And yours is the only video that wiped it down with the rubbing alcohol.
It's such a relief to know that the heat resistant tape doesn't affect the frosted glass. (I know, how else would I stick down the design, but just haven't used the frosted yet.)
looks really good I do have a question. what are the care instructions on cleaning it? Like does the ink come off if you soak them are they dishwasher safe?
I’m new to this and don’t have a sublimation printer so do you sell designs already printed out that you would just have to wrap around your glass and heat press? Love the video.
Hey! 😁 I turned it over on its rim to do the very top of the design because it wasn’t touching in the press when it was pressed on its bottom. :) Thank you for watching! 💕💕
Hi, I noticed you've promoted a mug press and I was wondering if you could share your long-term experience with it. Have you used it intensively for your sublimations? After a year of use, have you encountered any technical issues, particularly regarding temperature maintenance? I've read several reviews on Amazon where users report problems after around 20 sublimations, so I'm curious if you've noticed anything similar. Thanks a lot for your help!"
Heyy!! Yes I have promoted the Cricut mug press as well was Heat Press Nation press. I have had zero problems with both of them and will continue to recommend them. I am not sponsored by them. They were just gifted items :) 🩷
Hello! I’m totally new to this. I’m currently using vinyl to layer on this kind of glass cups. I’ve been thinking of changing it up to sublimation. When purchasing templates if they’re not at the size we need it how would I adjust it to the sizing of the cups? Thank you! This video has been very helpful.
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing. What are the measurements for the wrap? Mine didn’t come with the measurements and I’m having trouble getting them. TIA! ❤
Does it matter how thick the silicon over the heating element is? I have a silicon mat that I can cut up and do that, but it's a bit thicker then yours.
Your video was easiest to follow along! Thank you! But I had ALOT of residue from the paper why did this happen? I’m not sure if I can save it the whole cup feels rough. I did the exact same time as you and this happened.
Great tutorial. My question is. Do you use this cricut mug press to make coffee mugs? I was wondering if timer being off and on without going through the full process might change the heat settings.
Hey!! Yes I make coffee mugs in my Cricut mug press as well. I don’t have problems with the heat settings but there are actually three on your mug press. :)
Do you have the link to the silicon material to cover the head plate? What size should the design be to fit this glass? Will the press times be the same for a clear glass?
I have the same issue except mine did not transfer at all. The transfer worked on mugs, so not sure if it’s the glass or using the glass in the Cricut press or what
Hey!! So with sublimation you can use any png image file. The image file name will say “footballcup.png” for example. You don’t need to use a Cricut design to sublimate:) Some ppl use programs mostly for measuring the wrap.
Hey!! The sublimation paper and sublimation ink is what’s used for this. You would need a tumbler or mug press too. I have everything I use linked in the description of this video. :) I’m sorry for slow reply. Hope you have a great weekend! 💛
Hey!! I have all the items I use in my amazon storefront and linked in description under video it’s a little drop down arrow ^ Here is the link tho! amzn.to/45d6Rvc I just cut the square out from the sheet. ☺️
I have an Epson 2800. I did everything from my MacBook Pro like you did, but my image didn't transfer to the clear glass can using my mug press. Please help!
Hi! I can’t get my image to transfer to a Libby glass, but I was able to transfer it to a diff style cup. What am I doing wrong? Are there diff types of Libby glasses?
Hey!! So they need to be cups/glasses labeled as sublimation cups UNLESS you coat them with a polycrylic coating. I’ve never seen someone coat the glass and have just tested unlabeled items to see if they would transfer. Most frosted glasses should sub easily. Clear glasses May not always work. 🩵
I’ve used polycrylic spray on different regular items before sublimating such as tiles, metals, canvases, faux leather books. Just spray light coating let dry, repeat and then let dry overnight and sublimate 😁
Ok! I returned those cups (def not sublimation) and ordered new ones from Amazon, they did transfer the ink but only slightly and I used the thickest silicone wrap mat. Can you add the link to the clear glasses you use?
Hey!! So there are clear glasses that are labeled “sublimation”glasses but you can always experiment with different ones. There is a polycrylic coating on sublimation glasses and that’s what you need for sublimation to work. I personally prefer frosted bc the prints do show better. :) 🩷
Hey! The glasses or items you sublimate need some sort of polyurethane/polyester coating. You can experiment and coat your own items but I usually buy things labeled sublimation bc I know they’re prepared. :) I enjoy experimenting so that’s why I try different things on our channel! 😁❤️
Great tutorial I will try this, quick question just wondering if it ever happened to you the glass broke? Also how did you know about the times like 4 minutes then 2 minutes after you turned the glass?😊
I usually prepare a few glasses and press them back to back. If you don’t prepare first then you may want to turn off the press so it doesn’t overheat and continue to keep turning off on its own. (It’s happened to me! 🫣😁
All sublimation prints are the same and only differ in size for certain items:) I use sublimation ink and sublimation paper. The printer is the Epson 15000 that I bought NEW and filled with sublimation ink. Do not use the regular ink the printer comes w. 💛
Hey! You can use permanent vinyl on any glasses using a SVG cut file. :) In this specific video I’m doing sublimation for the design. Thanks for watching!
Hi there, just caught your video. Thank you. But have a question because I want to start sublimating beer glass can glasses as well as tumblers. I bought the shrink wrap sleeves, can I use this in place of the butcher paper? I will also be using the Cricut mug press. Can you please advise? Thanks.
What sublimation ink do you use? I bought the hippo sublimation ink but every time that I heat the picture on my glass cup it does not stick. And I even heat the cup for 5 minutes.
Hey! We use Cosmos Sublimation Ink. I have it linked in the drop description under this video. Is the glass you’re using labeled “sublimation glass cup”? Items need to have a polyester:polycrylic coating for the sublimation to print to.
Hey! The exact one I have came from Amazon but it is currently unavailable. 😕 Here is a set of two just a different brand! Here is the link: amzn.to/3hK939U
Ever had any issues where the ink doesn't transfer to the cup? We are trying this with my wife have pretty much the same set up as you and or print aren't transferring? Any idea why? thanks for your time.
Hey!! Do you have a sublimation printer, sublimation ink and a press? Be sure the items you sublimate are labeled “sublimation blank” or have a polyester/polycrylic coating. A regular cup or glass may not sublimate anything at all if it does not have a poly coating/substrate. 💕
Hey :) I would recommend using a print only once to make sure the colors are really vibrant and also reduce the possibility of ghosting. If you don’t press an item for the full time (usually 50 seconds for shirts/@380*) a lot of the ink may remain on the paper so it obviously wouldn’t hurt to reuse it if you didn’t want to waste the ink. 💕
