What is it?
This machine allows you to create personalized items by printing your design using a special ink that adheres to material with a special coating, typically polyester.
Because of this particular chemical reaction, the process works best when working with white 100% polyester or sublimation blanks.
Since this machine is so versatile, it can help create a wide variety of items including:
- Mugs and Tumblers
- Clothing and Fabrics made of at least 60% polyester
- Coasters, Tags, and Keychains
- Special treated glass and metal
As long as it's specifically a sublimation blank, it can be used. You can always bring in your own material for use on the machine at no cost, but it has to be approved ahead of time
What do I need?
You should either create or buy your design that you'd like to press into your material or book an appointment to learn how to get started on the design you have in mind. If you'd like to use personal photos, make sure they are a high quality (most photos taken on phones are okay).
We do have the Cricut Mug press available, which is compatible with infusible ink transfer sheets and infusible ink markers.
