Sublimation

Sublimation printing is a popular method for creating personalized mugs and other items with vibrant, long-lasting designs. This technique involves using special sublimation inks and transfer paper to apply designs to specially coated mugs.

The process begins by printing the desired design onto sublimation transfer paper using sublimation ink. The printed design is then wrapped around the mug, and heat and pressure are applied using a mug heat press.

During this process, the sublimation ink on the transfer paper transforms into a gas when heated. This gas permeates the polymer coating on the mug and solidifies, resulting in a durable, high-quality image that won't peel, fade, or wash away.

Sublimation printing allows for full-color, photographic-quality designs to be transferred onto mugs, making it a popular choice for creating personalized gifts, promotional items, and branded merchandise.
