I consider your step by step approach the very best out of SO many channels out here! Thank you so much🤙🏼
Thank you Roger I just learned how to do sublimation on mugs, and my Church is going to be doing it as a fundraiser, putting our logo on the cups, and then selling them to our members.. thank you so much for all the info in the description too including where to get all the supplies. God bless you, and thank you so much for your channel.
Excellent video, Roger. Just what I was looking for. I began to follow your channel when I bought my laser printer. Your videos were a great help to me then, and this video is a great help to me now as I play with my newly acquired sublimation printer. You do a fantastic job describing and demonstrating each step of the way, which makes for easy learning. Your dry humour and occasional sarcasm are the icing on the cake.
Roger, good job. I like your phrases!!
Thank you great tutorial from Yorkshire uk
This channel has helped me with my little startup shop so much. Thank you sir👍👍
Thank you
i appreciate the way you explain the details. always looking forward to watching your new sublimation videos 😎
This was the best explanation ever 17:23
Loving how you use the flexible tape measure it makes sense to use it to get the correct measurement. On the stage of printing out the designs but wasn't sure how to get the right measurements. Glad we found this video!!! Thank you...God bless
Another very fine educational video Great job lots of great information thank you
Thanks again for a great video. I always learn so much from you!
Thanks another great video. Just learning sublimation so many great ideas. My favorite teacher
Appreciate your comment!
The mug quotes are fantastic
thank you for the detailed information!!
This is an awesome video. I have watched so many videos trying to find out how to print my design. So easy to understand. I have a cricut cup press still in the box. Now I just need to figure out the time and temp if anyone can help me. I gave a thumbs up and subscribed. EXCELLENT VIDEO!
Found it. Thanks for great video.
Great video!
Hey Roger, Love your tutorials! Do like your Mexico shirt!!! Did you make this design?
Bought that one in Mexico. We go there a few times a year in winter.
You can put an image on the outside bottom that will transfer just great!! Even tape one on the inside of the cup! Try it with the ghosted one!!
Interesting idea~
Thankyouuuuuu! Your demo is excellent! I appreciated the clear instructions and dialogue that includes your tips! 🌟🌟
love the watermark on that paper.... handy
Awesome
Just ordered a press with your link. Thanks for the great tutorial! PS: The press had a $60 off coupon too!
This press has performed very well. We have run over 250 mugs through it with no problems other than a couple of operator errors (like putting graphic on upside down)............
Roger --getting started with decorating mugs with pretty detailed photos.
Watched your video and asking your thoughts on the VIVOR press as a starter machine.
For this style mug, I use the Vevor Automatic Press. For other sizes/styles, I use my press from Heat Press Nation (But, $$$$)
I did 20 (plus) cups for our County Fair! I only broke one handle and messed up another… hence the (plus)!!!
Uncle roger explain us step by step so I subscribe to his channel
Great teaching! Thank you for sharing! New "Sub" here! 🙃
Hey Roger great videos as always. What level setting do you use on the press. I just got the same one. Ty
Default setting that it cam with. After making one as a test, that came out perfect, I found no reason to mess with it.
Great video! How long should I wait before removing the graphic? I’ve noticed ghosting and speckling but I’ve been pulling the paper off as soon as I take it out of the press.
Not a good idea to hot pull as you have found out with the ghosting. I let them sit until I can handle bare handed without getting burned. "Speckles" are usually caused by lint. Make sure mug is clean and dust/lint free. Cheap paper towels can leave lint behind. The blue shop-type towels don't.
Thank you for the video, very informative. You used a color ink jet printer? I'm new to this.
Epson 2720 converted to sublimation ink. Regular inkjet ink will not work. It must be ink designed for dye sublimation.
@@rogersshop thanks!
Is it possible to use my android without computer or laptop?
How long do you let it cool for to avoid ghosting?
May I ask where you got your funny mug slogans -- Ade in England
Google "Sarcastic Quotes". You will find a lot of them!
So all videos ive watched say use the epson paper have you done a comparison of the thepaper you used and epson? Were having trouble getting the black to come out black, keeps coming out brown, were using heat press machine.
If your blacks are coming out brown, then either the temp is too high, or the time is too long. Either one, or a combination of both, can cause blacks to have a brown tone.
Love your way of doing them what do you sell yours for if you don't mind me asking
$7.00 not including any tax or shipping.
@@rogersshop thank you you have been my go to for anthing i try to do you are a real inspritation jessie
I know you talked about you make some of your own graphics on you tile sublimate video - just curious what you make it in? I have many of the same machines that you do and trying to do this as a business instead of hobby and I want to do my own stuff instead of buying pre-made STLs or SVGs etc. I know how to create from png but I want to do it ground up.
First, I am not really an "artist". I have trouble drawing stick people! I belong to a couple of graphics services where I obtain licensed graphics to use, then modify/combine in another program, depending on end use. For laser work, I usually use lightburn. For sublimation, it is either Inkscape, Photoshop, or Photoscape. Inkscape is a great solution to converting other formats to SVG.
Awesome video. Couple questions.
If color from bottom to top, do you need more tape around the top and bottom to get the image on towards the edges?
How many rejects should I expect before getting hang of it in a production manner?
I've seen some mention using butcher paper, but noticed you aren't using any. Is that because the designs aren't to the edge?
To get color to wrap around the top and bottom edges will require more tape to bind the paper to the curves, much like we do with tumblers on the bottom edges. I don't use butcher paper since I use a heavy high quality sublimation paper. My reject rate is less than 1% and usually is a result of something stupid like putting the image on upside down when in a hurry.
Thanks! I really appreciate the videos from a manufacturing perspective.@@rogersshop
Forgot to say yes, I'm using sublimation Mugs, Thank you in advance.
What temp and time levels for the Vevor mug press when using the mugs from your Amazon link? - Thank you
Factory default. I never had a need to change it. Worked perfect out of the box.
What’s the size that you do the image
Can you remove sublimation from a project if it's not right to use the item again or do you have to discard and start again thank you for sharing your knowledge 😃
No. It is permanent.
Ok thank you so much for your help 💖
Hi I wanted to ask you what Ink you use. I was deciding between Sublinova ink-tec or A-SUB ink which would you recommend. Thank you
Hiipoo on everything except what I print on the Sawgrass. No sediment, no clogs, perfect results every time. (Not sponsored..............I buy it!)
I just took out my original circuit expression that needs cartridges. How can i do this using the expression
No idea. Have never used one
I love your work; I have a question? I'm using A-SUB sublimation paper with my Epson with Sub - Ink at 400F for 250 seconds and still haven't no luck. nothing comes out, What I'm doing wrong... I'm new in this ...
Temp is a little high, but if you are not getting any transfer to your sublimation blank mugs (assuming you are using a press), then the blanks must be non coated/not coated correctly/not cured properly.
@@rogersshop thank you 🙏
I did try another transfer paper and it did work..
Not as it should be but I did it.. I'm getting a new order of transfer paper.. God bless 🙏 and thank you for your advice and time..
What temperature and how long do you heat press a mug?
This depends on what press you have. For a starting point, try 385 degrees for 120 seconds. The press I use here in this video is automatic.
How long do y0ou let mugs cool made with the Vevor mug press?
Until I can hold them without getting burned. Never timed it, and have let them completely cool to room temperature when busy.
What is your grid spacing shown? thank you
1/4"
I love your videos!! But I do have a question. I'm new to mug sublimation and notice that all of mine seem to have very faded colors. I do 300 dpi and increased the saturation and all of my printing settings are controled by the printer. When I went up to 400 degrees at 240 seconds it got just a little bit better, but the entire graphics are still bleached out. Any suggestions would be helpful!
If using an Epson printer: Quality high. Turn off high speed or bi-directional printing. Paper type should be set to Premium Presentation Paper Matte.
Thank you.@@rogersshop
None of my settings give the option of Premium Presentation Paper Matte. Just SC F170 Rigid or textile in its place. Very confused.@@rogersshop
@@siouxareaparanormal4244 What printer are you using?
Where do you get your sayings to put on your mugs. Please
Some are my own. Some I've seen and just made my own version. Some are purchased from online services such as Design Bundles.
What kind of printer do you use? Thank you
Epson 2720 converted to sublimation ink and a Sawgrass SG1000
I have the Epson 2803 and my advanced printer properties don't look at all like what you show! I don't know what to do!
Not familiar with that model. Try checking your manual or downloading one from the Epson website.
I'm starting doing mugs but it didn't sitck the picture in the mug , do you know why it didn't sublimate it?
Mug must be a coated sublimation blank. Regular mugs will not work.
Help I have a Epson et2720 won't let me transfer name
Using sublimation ink with sublimation paper on a sublimation blank? Unless the mug is made for sublimation transfer, it won't work. Also requires sublimation ink. Regular inkjet ink will not work.
Help......I couldn't find inkscape! Is it called something else?
inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.3.1/
Hi, when we put a whole sheet with just text to sublimate on it, we see kind of grain in between, how can we fix that? When we cut the design out, we don’t see it? We don’t use alcohol to clean it, could that be it?
What kind of sublimation paper are you using? I've never experienced this.
@@rogersshop a-sub sublimation paper, it’s only on the places in between the printed spots. So that’s the weird part, nothing has been printed. Now we also see the edges of where the paper was taped on.
@@lavishvids1063 If you are seeing the edges, then either the temp is too high, or the time is too long, or a combination of both. This may also explain the artifacts you are seeing between the text lines.
@@rogersshop we use the mugpress, I’ll check how to lower the heat
How much do you sell your mugs for at a show? Thanks
$ 7.00-$15.00. Depends on location and graphics. $20 for custom photos.
What printer are you using?
Epson 2720, Epson 2800, and Sawgrass SG-1000
Does the printing last long?
Permanent
Do you need a special printer or ink??
You do need sublimation ink. Regular ink jet ink will not work. Many convert an Epson Eco-tank to sublimation ink rather than investing in a Sawgrass printer. Epson now makes Eco tank printers specific for sublimation since it became so popular.
What do you sell these standard mugs for?
$7 to $12, depending on design
@@rogersshop thank you. I've been curious what big vendors sell for. I barely did my first mug after almost 3 years of sublimating. I really enjoy your videos and have a bunch saved for reference. Thank you for sharing them.
I see tutorials where folks put butcher paper around the mug so the color doesn't bleed onto the press? Have you had that problem?
No. I use high quality paper.
@@rogersshop Do you still use Innosub USA sublimation paper?
Yes. Also A-Sub@@zofo264
What do u sell the for???
Depends on area, market, and design. Anywhere from $7-$20
When I put tape on my cup it leaves a mark what am I doing wrong.
Maybe brand of tape? I've never had this happen.
Ok thank you. I really appreciated your tape
What brand do you use
@@kaybryant7987 innosub USA innosub.com/collections/sublimation-supplies/products/sublimation-heat-tape
How do I get the image to not cover the whole paper
Do not understand the question (?)
@@rogersshop when I print my image covers the whole printing paper. Also I want the image upright not sideways
@@arieemetcalf8804 Size it down in what ever software you are processing your graphics in.
Can you name the supplier of your mugs? Thanks!

Thanks Roger! I’m watching a lot if your videos lately, and agree, you’re my favorite teacher! You give clear details and love the way you share the test runs! ❤
Do you have to use butcher paper
Since I use a high quality sublimation paper, I do not.
@@rogersshop I have A-SUB 125 G , it was the most expensive A-SUB Sublimation paper (and states that it’s for hard substrates) which I got for my mug press. Do you think that should be okay.
@@tropicalfishaquatics Also one of the ones we use. Should be just fine.
Your’e using a what skape ? Didn’t hear u
It's called inkscape.
