Sublimation Tumbler Prep Video - How to measure, resize transfer images, and wrap tumblers 

Oh my goodness thank you so much! I'm happy it helped. This is definitely an older video. I invented the Edgy tumblers that have flat edge bottoms to combat the common white spot sublimationeers get. With the Edgy tumblers you don't have to "bump" the paper up past the curve because there's no curve. :) Feel free to check them out! And again, thank you for the kind words!!!

No no, I’ve watched many videos and couldn’t believe the ‘tape’ overkill. When I watched your video I got it, I really got it. So now I’m your craft stalker!

Thank you! Happy to help out!!!

Thanks so much!

Happy to help!

It will depend on your printer. Mine is writing side up. There should be a little picture that shows a piece of paper on your printer or printer drawer to guide you :)

Please join the fb group facebook.com/groups/pnwblanks if you haven't already 😀

All images are mirrored in sublimation :)

@Anonymous-bs5ov make sure you're measuring your tumbler. Also check the paper you are using, it may be too thick.

Hello, you will need something that prints larger. The wide format printers for Epson ecotank are the 15000 and the 8550. I have an 8550 and it works great! They go on sale often so keep your eye out!

I dont mind at all! You can purchase tumblers on Anna and Elena's sites at pnwsub.com the 20 oz Edgy tumblers are the top-selling tumblers. They have flat bottoms for full coverage, premium coating to produce bright and vibrant results, and twist-on leakproof lids!

When I print from silhouette I make sure my print line is on so I can see if anything is going to get cut off

I dont use vinyl on cups, sorry

I dont print from the epson app, sorry. I used to print from Silhouette studio and now print from Affinity

It's best to measure your own tumblers as they're all sized a bit differently.

I use affinity designer and photoshop. I used to use silhouette studio but the print quality is way better in the other programs

I've never had that issue personally.

I print from Affinity Designer. Cricut isn't a great program for printing. You will get better results from using an actual design or printing program

Hey there! Welcome to your newest obsession 🤣 The absolute essentials you need at a minimum are a sublimation printer, Sublimation ink, Sublimation paper, heat tape, a heat press, and Sublimation blanks

what blanks do you recommend? tumblers or apparel for starting out? Press or oven? also i was told to make sure i have air wherever i make the projects due to gas or something like that. Any tips for it? :)

@SpookyKristis sublimation is the science of the ink turning from a solid ink into a gas when it reaches a certain temp (think boiling water vs water vs ice), this gas can be a bit smelly. It's always a good idea to work in a well ventilated area with either a fan or near a window that can open. For blanks it will depend on what you're interested in. Being the owner of PNW Blanks, I will always recommend our products as they're rested for quality and I wouldn't sell anything I don't believe in and wouldn't provide to my own customers. Maybe I'll put together a fun beginner's bundle of blanks people can purchase to get their feet wet with sublimation!

Hello! Unfortunately, I have no experience with design space. I have heard of this being an issue with that program, so I would recommend using a different program to print your design.

Yes if using 8.5x11 paper

That's why we invented the Rolie Polie ;)

It's not needed with the PNW Press and you shouldn't have burning if it's calibrated correctly. The only time I use it is if I am adding a name or something to an already sublimated tumbler

20 oz

105g

Silhouette studio. I use Affinity designer for the most part now

What program are you using? I print using silhouette studio or affinity designer

I started putting mine in Ms word and sizing it in there. Works much better

Like in a tapered tumbler? Or more like a yeti style 30 oz?

It's always a great idea to measure your item before printing. Not all tumblers are the same size
