You've taken the complicated mystique out of a process that is so logical, and your teaching is clear and simple with step by step. I think this is the only video I'll ever need. And because of all this, you have inspired me to invest in good equipment (Epson here in the UK) and the confidence to go for it. I'll come back when I've made my first million ... (mistakes, that is lol). Thank you so much.
I use the Epson ET4700 with Hiipoo Inks on HTTP-XP TexPrint Paper. The results are phenomenal, and her guidance will save you a ton in wasted mugs/ink/paper. Don't be like me, just mirror every image from the get go. I also use Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo which are much cheaper alternatives to Adobe products, but work the same.
I just got the same exact press in the mail today, and needed a good starting point. In my Cooks 1000 watt convection oven, they were taking 15 minutes. This is so much faster, and like you said, the handle is not hot. Huge game changer. Thank you.
So thankful I found your video. I had a hard time getting the right temp and went through several mugs with no success. Your settings and time are perfect.
The 400 degrees F is a magical number. Anything less it will not work. Anything more, and you may lose the vibrancy of the image. On T-Shirts, and Aluminum picture blanks you only want to press for 1 minute.
I have several videos showing the process and various ways to make the images and templates. Also the place you buy your mugs usually have free templates to download
Great video! I'm new to sublimating and your video is one of the few that I really enjoy! Thank you so much for sharing! Keep up the great work! Bless you!
So....when printing the picture on the paper....you do reverse the picture?...so then it comes out...showing correctly on the mug. Correct?... Also...how do you do any writing you want? Thanks!.. Great Video!..
@@LorrieNunemaker Thank you...so...If I want to write something in script...I write it on slick paper...scan it, mirror it...and ..cut it out and tape it right above the picture...which I make smaller than athe ones in your video, ..right?..
Great tutorial… now for the purchase of the appropriate mugs as well as heat transfer or heat resistant tape. I mention sublimation anything and most people look at at me like I’ve got three eyes… Any suggestions where I can find both mugs and tape?
Hi, thank you for your very simple clear video's!! When you use the copy paper do you use the sub ink or inkjet printer. I just did my first mug thank you to your video. I did use sub paper and ink but curious about copy paper.
As stated in the video I used the Sawgrass sublimation printer (which has sublimation ink). This cannot he done with regular inkjet ink. Yes, It can pressed in the Cricut mug press.
Great video TY. I am having trouble with the final product. The color doesn't come out good on the mug. The black looks dark green. Am I pressing for too long. Not sure if I have to wait to the press get back to 400 once the mug is in. The temp decreases so much when the mug is put in. TY
All around except under the handle is 9 inches x 3.75 inches. However, using standard 8.5 x 11 sheets look awesome, printing side to side with no borders.
really interesting thank you im just looking in to buying this printer do you know how much ink is used when you print a mug all the way round. any most of guidance on this would be really useful Thanks R
Hi, it's a really great and helpful video. I have mugs and paper but nothing works at all. I don't know how to check if mugs are ok or papers are ok or Inkjet printer is ok? I am not sure what the supplier has made mistake for? Please help. Thanks in advance.
@@LorrieNunemaker Thank you for the reply. I know I need to use sublimation but what cheapest sublim printers are available in the market? And can we check any way if mugs are coated for sublimation? Thanks.
Love the video....thank you for sharing. Definitely going to look into purchasing the necessary equipment. What brands are you using in the video, I did not see any links.
What's the difference between a sublimation mug and a regular mug and can I use regular printing paper on a regular mug in the machine you know like the paper you use to print on shirts to buy Antonette on can I use that paper to put on a mug a regular mug thanks for the video you are so awesome keep up the good work I'm thinking of buying one of those machines but I need to know if it is going to work for what I needed to do it will cost me too much money for sublimation Mouse I don't know if they even sell that here in the Trinidad Island
You must use a sublimation mug. It’s a mug that has been pretreated with a poly coating that will absorb the sublimation ink. You must use a printer with sublimation ink in it. You can use copy paper or sublimation paper
Can you tell me about how many prints you get out of the regular ink cartridges? And the other question is the cost of the drum when you have to replace that.
@@printswearshopbyjinky9533 I don’t give out dimensions because mugs come in so many different sizes and shapes. I don’t want someone to waste I I thinking they have the same mug I have when mine is actually taller or shorter or wider. I measure the mug with a tape measure and then make my image slightly larger
So nice! I haven't tackled mugs yet. I have a press but haven't attempted to use it on mugs. Have you tried the water slide paper on mugs? Is that durable? I can't invest in this printer right now but would love to try a mug one day wothaterials I have.
Hi Thank you so much for sharing the idea. Can you please tell me the image print on the white paper, is it just normal laser print? and what is the paper used to print?
Why not use paper around the image paper to press like with shirts on a heat press? What size mugs did you use? Did you have to play with the mug press to find that setting to press?
The images will rarely gas off onto the press, and they are easy to clean. However, the extra precaution is worth doing. The mugs are 11oz. Tighten the press until the mug can't move, then give it one more turn on the tension knob.
So to do a mug you have to get a sublimation printer 🖨 and sublimation ink and also a sublimation paper ...please let me know what kind of printer you you use and what software .. by the way I love your videos
Just wondering if anyone knows this, I’m going to get a mug press, but i have a glass kiln I used to fuse and paint on glass - can i use a glass kiln to “set” the mugs?? Thanks for your help!
@@vrothery50 Temp at 400f and try a bunch using different timings. Eventually you will find the right one, but it will cost in mistakes getting it right.
Good evening do you have the same printer. I have a hp printer that use sublimation ink. Now can I use that printer. And did you use a sublimation paper or did you use a special papers? I’m sorry to ask so many questions. Thank you very much.
so you dont ever have to seal it after bringing it out the Mug press? cuz looks good and shiny. Lorrie they also sell other press for different cups or other shapes?
I would like to know how do you get the pictures to go on the paper and have four different pictures or make them smaller for one mug you didn’t show how you use your app
@@LorrieNunemaker Thank you so much ! Where can you by different models and colors mugs for sublimation? I also wanted to know what is the brand of your sublimation machine you are using and how much you pay for it and if you had any issues with it so far.
What if you don’t have a sawgrass printer, but another sublimation printer? I can use it just the same, correct? Can I design something on design space (Cricut) and then print and sublimate? What dimensions do you use for images for the mugs?
You can design in design space but be sure that if you print from there that you use the correct color profile for your printer. Color profiles can have a dramatic effect on sublimation final results.
Super result. Do you use a regular printer and ink or is there something special for it? I also ordered a press for myself and would like to make them myself I have an epson L365 printer

Hi Lorrie! I know you made this 3 years ago. Wondering if you have a trick to avoid the tape discoloring the design for wrap arounds? Thank you!!
I’ve not had that issue. Maybe try another brand of tape. It shouldn’t leave a mark
Can you put these in the oven like the tumblers ????
Have u tried using the mug heat press for tumblers
So....when printing the picture on the paper....you do reverse the picture?...so then it comes out...showing correctly on the mug. Correct?... Also...how do you do any writing you want? Thanks!.. Great Video!..

is it better to print as VIVID or PHOTOGRAPH option on the sawgrass manager ?
Depends what you’re printing. For photographs I’d choose photographic. Vivid is good for graphics like logos and digital artwork
Great tutorial! Thank you so mug for sharing lol! What are the measurements for all around? Thanks in advance!
All around except under the handle is 9 inches x 3.75 inches. However, using standard 8.5 x 11 sheets look awesome, printing side to side with no borders.
do you have to mirror the picture or words? and do you have to have a program to fit the picture to fit the mug and wrap around?
Yes mirror

No. Typically the only printers that can be converted are some of the epson printers
Thank you so much for your tutorial video! Because of you my images came out so much better! Thank you!!!
