With the shrink wrap, it helps to put a piece of string up the side of the cup/tumbler, taped to the bottom before putting the shrink wrap on. Then when you take it out of the oven you can pull the string down the side and rip open the shrink wrap while it's still hot
This has been one of the most informative videos I have seen on mug sublimation. Thank you for taking the time to provide value added content to help on the journey. I just so happened to have a counter top Nuwave Bravo convection oven I use to use when I was renting. I now own a house and the oven has been sitting in garage for some time. I may put it to good use now! That oven did an amazing job in cooking my food. After a good cleaning, I hope it bakes my projects just as well. I realize once I use it for sublimation, I will not be able to go back to cooking in it again either. I am definitely a fan!
First of all….WOW! You really do a thorough job of testing products and you are doing extremely well teaching/relaying your findings. I just want you to know, I appreciate the wealth of information you are passing along to all of us watching. I’m wanting to get started with sublimation but I’m kind of hesitant with the cost of investment. Idk if I’ll be able to sell enough to justify the cost. 🤔 Anyway. Just wanted to say a huge “THANK YOU” for your investment- money, time, etc. and passing it along to us. Well, gotta go and get caught up on all your videos 😁
Great video! I was able to find a decent sized convection oven at the thrift store for $10. I don't have a business (if I did, I would get a heat press with a mug attachment) so for me, the convection oven method (with silicone wrap, etc.) is less half the cost of the Cricut mug press.
You will want to look at each blank on the website where you purchased and see if they have oven instructions as each will be different. If you can't find oven instructions, try googling the same blank from other suppliers and see if they have oven instructions. It is a bit of a hunting game!
I watched this video a while back and just now got to use it to make my first sublimation mugs. Thank you! It went well and I really appreciate having clear instructions to use. Now on to tumblers.
I want to thank you for all the information. I recently purchased my equipment and your videos were very instrumental in my selections. You have a great delivery and well informed. God bless you for this. #grateful #muchlove
Thank you so much Angie For your video's They are so helpful! I watched 1 person arround the Holidays actually use their regular oven to sublimate by using Reynolds oven bags to completly wrap over the Mug Wraps so that you would not have any order escaping in the oven. Still a little leary. And also saw a video ( can't remember where now) To use a convection oven instead of a toaster oven because the heat is circulating and consistant. But they are a lot more expensive! I really love the cricut mug press and can't wait to get mine! Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks with doing the tall flat wall mugs!! 💖
A trick with the shrink wrap is to put a piece of thread with a loop on either end under the wrap-then when done you can pull the thread to cut the wrap off will warm
One suggestion I found was a craft string taped under the shrink wrap to use to cut it after it is done. That trick comes from Liberty graphic designs.
So I’m love with your channel. You do so much for us, thank you! Today I received my mug press and a box of 15oz mugs from cricut. I’m new to think however I measured my 15oz mug and it measures 12oz did anyone ever notice this, or measure their mugs before selling them? Thank you
Thank you, Angie for spending your time teaching and testing products. My question is, do you know if the items sold at Walmart that are coated with, I don’t know what, can be sublimated? I don’t know if I should mention the brand name. They are a metal type. Thank you for your response, if you have the time.
Walmart doesn't sell sublimation blanks. Now there are people that test various things to see if they will work. Sometimes they find something at Walmart that does in fact have polyester on the outside.
Appears you really gotta be on top of your game to get those items properly wrapped for best results-and quickly! I’m sure folks in the business develop a rhythm! I’m so glad I’m just a hobbyist and actually relieved I got the Mug Press instead of an oven- I just wouldn’t make enough items simultaneously to make an oven worth the space it would take up. Thanks for affirming I made the right choice for me! 👍🏼❣️
i have tried the oven twice and both times the results were blurry and not too great. I used the mug press on the same design and it came out much better.
I'm glad to see some of these blanks are going on sell. I couldn't see paying 10 to 15 dollars for mug blanks. I haven't got good results from my oven yet and it does take a lot of space on my counter.
Random oven observation: An countertop oven style air fryer seems to work best for me. And the fan blasting inside seems to eliminate hot spots. I assume any countertop convection oven would help similarly with the hot spots issue.
@@kig2086 Conventional Oven? That usually means the big oven in your kitchen. Another term is convection ovens - which have fans in them. Convection ovens can be toaster ovens but all toaster ovens are not convection ovens. See the description of this video for links to ovens if you're looking for one to use for sublimation.
Hi Angie, thank you for this great video. Can you advise if enamel mugs are a product that can have a decal added to them using Cricut products? If so, what Cricut product would you use.
Hello,I was wondering if you could tell me if there are any specific settings I should look for in a convection oven from fb marketplace or goodwill? Which ovens did you purchase if you don't mind me asking? Thank you
@@MsDstarr it needs to be big enough for your tumblers - standing if you can but they can lay down if the oven isn't tall enough. It also needs to have a convection setting (air fry is the same thing) and it needs to reach 400°F. Hope that helps
One other question, when using the oven for sublimation does it give out any smells? I would be using it indoors so just want to make sure, thanks again!
Yes it does. I think I say that at some point in this video. I just open a window in my craft room but it definitely releases more fumes than the mug press. It may be that they are just more concentrated. The heat gun is a Darice Heat Tool. I am pretty sure they don't make them any longer but you might find some stock somewhere!
You beat me to it! I was just about to tell Angie about this! Its a genius idea. His YT is "Liberty Graphics". When I was watching Angie struggle with removing the shrink wrap, I thought of him immediately.
@@AngieHolden It was a really smart idea. Just a long piece of twine. After you wrap your tumbler in your sub paper, just lay the piece of twine lengthwise down the tumbler and put the the shrink wrap over that. Then when you are done "cooking", you simply pull the twine and it rips your shrink wrap right down the side.
@@AngieHolden i meant tear it...LOL. Thanks Patti...yes its Liberty Graphics. He used s stronger string. The video is The Best Tricks to Sublimate a 20oz Tumbler. It aired 2/25/21. The string must be heavy duty thread. He used the type that you use to stitch leather.
She certainly is! And generous with her vast knowledge. Additionally her speaking voice is perfect for a teacher with good tone, volume and timing. PLUS her show notes are nicely detailed with great links.
There is a link in the description below the video. On computer, click show more. On mobile, click the arrow to expand the description or swipe up on the video depending on how you are watching.
Great job and thank you for going over ALL the different options. Have you done, or will you be doing/trying skinny tumblers in the mug press? I've seen a few videos, but I TRUST you and your opinions! Also, can you use a sub mug again if the design didn't come out?
I haven't found a way that I love to do the skinny tumblers. I will make a video if I find one. The only way to press again is to line up your print back exactly or go over the top with a darker design.
First, you don't want to use an oven you will be cooking in because of the fumes. The smells are not that bad. Just open a window to let some of it out.
Can you over cook the sublimation? If not why not leave it in a couple extra minutes just to be more sure that the transfer happened before you remove it from the tumbler?
Was your oven a toaster oven or a convection oven? I’ve heard that toaster ovens shouldn’t be used because of the temperature varying. Using a convection oven the heat goes around the whole oven and stays that temperature. What do you think about this? Is this possible? Have you thought about doing a comparison on this?
Love this! Thank you for the information. I have a question, my heat resistant tape is leaving a yellow stain on my mugs. Is this normal? or do i Just have cruddy tape? I purchased from Amazon.
Silly question, can you over-cook the sublimation? I'm looking to expand into this, and already have a great spare oven, and love that they can do all the things, not just straight sided.
It varied depending on the blank. I looked for each blank what the supplier said and went from there. As I said in the video, some places have instructions for an oven and others you just have to play with it to get it right.
Hello there my favorite blogger! Do you have to keep the rack in the oven or can you put the taller mugs on the bottom by pulling out the wire rack? Thank you
Well I would definitely look at the 2 most recent videos then since they were not on either. Each week there will be a Cricut video and a sublimation video here. Or that is the plan!
I heard from people saying if you don’t have mug press or separate oven, you can put the mug in the oven bag and use the oven you used for food. It won’t be poison, is that correct?
Templates are with your blanks. Sublimation paper has no way of knowing which blank you are going to use or what size. So, look wherever you purchased your blanks to see what they have as far as templates.
You would purchase a blank. Say a tumbler in this case. The website that sells you the tumbler should have templates for you to use for free. You don't have to purchase those in addition to the blank.
Hi Angie, thank you for the wonderful videos! I'm learning lots! Question, do you have to have a sublimation printer in order to put photos on the mugs? I have an HP ENVY Photo 7855.
Crazy question...since this needs to be done on a convection oven that isn’t used for food, could I use an old air fryer to make a sub mug? Those are just countertop convection ovens anyway, and I have one laying around. Hoping I could make use out of it.
Thank you for this video I'm just getting started with sublimation and getting everything I need Question with the oven can it be a standard toaster oven or does it have to be a convection .
Great video, Angie. Thanks for doing all this testing. Before Cricut came out with the mug press, I bought a package of shrink wrap but had not gotten an oven, yet. Do you know if I can use the shrink wrap in the mug press without hurting the press itself? I wouldn't buy any more, I just want to use up what I have. I hate throwing things away. Thank you.

You are one of the few influencers that I trust to give an honest review and I thank you for that. What do you think of the Ismart Sublimation Oven?
I haven't tested any actual sublimation ovens. I have thought about it though!

I love my convection oven. I do multiple mugs at the same time.
I could do more than one but would DEFINITELY need to rotate as it is super inconsistent.
@@maryking8024 right. And because it’s convection turning isn’t needed in most cases.

Make sure your print is tight.
Thank you for the great information you share with us.

Just an FYI you can wrap a piece of copy paper before you shrink wrap and peel the paper away with shrink wrap
This is very informative. Thanks so much.
first time watching you. thank you for this review. soooo helpful

I use shrink wrap buying the taller size for tumblers and cutting the shrink wrap down for mugs that way I don’t need to invest in different sizes

Loved the video just have a question on the 20oz tumbler you did in your oven , how long did you put it in and how long on each side : ) Thank u
I followed the instructions on the conde website I am pretty sure.
Great video! Now where did you find the smaller glove that is for great? All the ones I find are huge.
The heat resistant gloves? Amazon. They are made for using for a flat iron for your hair but work for this too.
Are you able to use a regular kitchen oven instead of a toaster size oven? Also, are the smells so bad that it would affect neighbors in a condo?
First, you don't want to use an oven you will be cooking in because of the fumes. The smells are not that bad. Just open a window to let some of it out.
Thank you love your videos
Glad you like them!
You can turn the oven on its end, so you can stand a tall cup up.
No I wouldn't turn the appliance.
Thank you!!!
No problem
Can you over cook the sublimation? If not why not leave it in a couple extra minutes just to be more sure that the transfer happened before you remove it from the tumbler?
You can DEFINITELY overcook it!
Hi, great video! what is time/temp for convection oven?
It varies greatly depending on what you are sublimating. My best advice is to check with where you buy your sublimation blanks.
I will stick with the mug press also 🥰
Was your oven a toaster oven or a convection oven? I’ve heard that toaster ovens shouldn’t be used because of the temperature varying. Using a convection oven the heat goes around the whole oven and stays that temperature. What do you think about this? Is this possible? Have you thought about doing a comparison on this?
Convection oven. I have links to the ovens I recommend in the description all of which are convection.
What about how to do it the differences between those and the attachment for mugs etc with a heat press?
Thank you for your information want to do to help with retirement. Will a air oven work goog?
You need a convection oven for it to work.
Love this! Thank you for the information. I have a question, my heat resistant tape is leaving a yellow stain on my mugs. Is this normal? or do i Just have cruddy tape? I purchased from Amazon.
Cruddy tape. Sorry. I have been hearing a ton of people say the same thing. I like the tape from Artesprix or Cricut. Hoping to do a tape review soon!
Silly question, can you over-cook the sublimation? I'm looking to expand into this, and already have a great spare oven, and love that they can do all the things, not just straight sided.
You can actually. Your colors will start to change and you can get it too hot as well.
So with the mug press .. we can't do large tumblers .. just flat mugs. Does Cricut have anything that can do all the things a oven would do ?
Here is what I have done with the mug press: th-cam.com/video/Vx-o3Kht5_Q/w-d-xo.html
Great tutorial! Can you use a straight side wine tumbler in the cricut mug press?
I have not found one with straight sides that is the right size!
Great video. Have you tried using masking tape and pulling it really tight?
No I haven't.
What temperature did you set your oven at? Thank you, your videos are so helpful
It varied depending on the blank. I looked for each blank what the supplier said and went from there. As I said in the video, some places have instructions for an oven and others you just have to play with it to get it right.
Thank you for a great video.How long did you leave the tumbler on one side before you flipped it? I purchased the Black and Decker digital oven.
Flip it about half way through.
Hello there my favorite blogger! Do you have to keep the rack in the oven or can you put the taller mugs on the bottom by pulling out the wire rack? Thank you
Depends on the oven really. You don't want your objects right on the heat source.
Could you use your regular oven in your kitchen?
No. Once an oven has been used for sublimation, it should not be used for food.
Can't wait to see something besides the mug press and sublimation.
Well I would definitely look at the 2 most recent videos then since they were not on either. Each week there will be a Cricut video and a sublimation video here. Or that is the plan!
Great information. Can I use the shrink wrap or the silicon wraps on the tall tapered latte mugs?
Yep! You would need a very specific silicone wrap but a large enough shrink wrap would work.
What size do you print for 20 ounce tumblers? Your mug size from past video was very helpful! TIA
I always get a template from where I purchase my tumblers.
I heard from people saying if you don’t have mug press or separate oven, you can put the mug in the oven bag and use the oven you used for food. It won’t be poison, is that correct?
I would NOT do that.
That’s awesome!!!🎉🎉🎉
Hi, where can I find templets , my sublimation paper did not come w/ any. Thank you. Love your series
Templates are with your blanks. Sublimation paper has no way of knowing which blank you are going to use or what size. So, look wherever you purchased your blanks to see what they have as far as templates.
Am I understanding I purchase those in addition to the paper? Btw thanks for your prompt response. You amaze me with all you do.
You would purchase a blank. Say a tumbler in this case. The website that sells you the tumbler should have templates for you to use for free. You don't have to purchase those in addition to the blank.
Hi Angie, thank you for the wonderful videos! I'm learning lots! Question, do you have to have a sublimation printer in order to put photos on the mugs? I have an HP ENVY Photo 7855.
Yes you do. An Envy won't do it. You can see more here: th-cam.com/video/0O70CulqbbI/w-d-xo.html
The mug that failed can be done again with a darker design
can you use a full size oven in the kitchen
You should NEVER use the oven you use for sublimation for cooking.
List for purchasing supplies
I list all supplies in the description below each video.
Crazy question...since this needs to be done on a convection oven that isn’t used for food, could I use an old air fryer to make a sub mug? Those are just countertop convection ovens anyway, and I have one laying around. Hoping I could make use out of it.
Yes, you can use a air fryer. There are videos on TH-cam showing the process.
I have seen people use an air fryer. I have zero experience with that though.
Thank you for this video I'm just getting started with sublimation and getting everything I need
Question with the oven can it be a standard toaster oven or does it have to be a convection .
Convection is best as it moves the heat around.
Omg so many questions: have you tried stove oven?
I have not. You do not want the fumes from sublimation in an oven you cook with.
Angie can you sublimate on regular stainless steel mugs
They need to have a sublimation coating on them.
You are awesome!!!!
You too!!
Great video, Angie. Thanks for doing all this testing. Before Cricut came out with the mug press, I bought a package of shrink wrap but had not gotten an oven, yet. Do you know if I can use the shrink wrap in the mug press without hurting the press itself? I wouldn't buy any more, I just want to use up what I have. I hate throwing things away. Thank you.
I don't think you need it really? And I have NOT tested that to see if any melting would occur.
Not sure if I missed it in the video but if you use a toaster oven does it have to be a dedicated one? Can I use one I also use to cook in? Thanks
Any oven you use for sublimation should never be used for food.
Can you sublime a tumbler in a mug press

Can you do infusible ink on a tumbler or would I need to by a sublimation ink printer?
Yes you can use Infusible Ink on a sublimation tumbler.
Have you experiment with airfyers?
I have not but I have seen people with some success.
