UPDATE Sublimation 2 in 1 15 oz DUAL LID can cooler Beverage Holder
White Sublimation 2 in 1 can cooler
There are 3 methods of sublimating this product - in a mug press in an oven
using shrink wrap or a silicone wrap. Scroll for all methods.
USING A MUG PRESS:
Note: Because not all mug presses are created equally the dwell time in a
press can vary.
2nd Note: Be sure that the artwork does not go beyond the size limits of the
mug press.
3rd Note: Because of the gap where the mug press closes you will not be able
to have the artwork wrap around the entire beverage holder without using the turning method.
4th Note: Because of the smaller circumference of the beverage holder it is
necessary to use an extra heat conductive pad in order to achieve consistent
pressure in the mug press.
Supplies needed:
- heat conductive pad
- sublimatable substrate (water bottle)
- sublimation transfer
- scratch paper
- heat tape
Mug heat press settings:
- temperature - 400 degrees F
- dwell time - 2 - 2:30 minutes
- pressure - light to medium
Steps:
1. Position the transfer onto the substrate.
2. Tape two ends of the transfer allowing for the gap in the mug press where
it will close.
3. Wrap a piece of scratch paper around the transfer.
4. Place the extra heat conductive pad into the mug press.
5. Center the Tumbler in the mug press.
6. Close the mug press using the heat press settings above.
7. Remove items from the press immediately. Use heat resistant gloves if
necessary - the items will be very hot.
8. Remove transfer and scratch paper.
Tips:
- If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or
the dwell time slightly (10-15 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears
yellowed reduce the dwell time slightly (10-15 seconds).
- Too much pressure can cause the paper to stick which you will have to
reduce your pressure.
IN A CONVECTION OVEN
Note: Because not all ovens are created equally the dwell time in an oven can
range from 4 to 5 minutes. Convection oven is recommended. Settings will vary
depending on the oven brand and model ink and paper and atmospheric
conditions.
2nd Note: Be sure that the artwork does not go beyond the size limits of the
wrap.
Supplies needed:
- sublimatable substrate (tumbler)
- sublimation transfer
- scratch paper
- Silicone Wrap
- heat tape
- convection oven
Oven settings:
- temperature - 380-400 degrees F
- dwell time - 4:30 to 5 minutes
- pressure - light to medium
STEPS:
1. Position the transfer onto the substrate using heat tape to secure the
transfer to the substrate.
2. Cut a piece of scratch paper to tape over your artwork transfer this
protects your wrap from ink.
3. Use the silicone wrap to apply pressure to the Tumbler. Start wrapping
the Polar Camel by stretching and rolling the silicone over top of itself.
Make sure to start wrap in a non artwork area to prevent a line in your
artwork.
4. Put a piece of heat tape around silicone wrapped Tumbler to secure
wrap.
5. Place Tumbler in oven with recommended settings listed above.
6. Halfway through the cook time open the oven and turn the Polar Camel 180
degrees. This allows for even heating.
7. Pull from oven and remove wrap and paper. Caution contents will be hot
use heat resistant gloves for safety.
Tips:
- If the image of the final product appears light increase the pressure or
the dwell time slightly (30-45 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears
yellowed or has brown spots reduce the dwell time slightly (30-45 seconds).
IN A CONVECTION OVEN :
Note: Because not all ovens are created equally the dwell time in an oven can
range from 3:30 to 4:30 minutes. Convection oven is recommended.Settings will
vary depending on the oven brand and model ink and paper and atmospheric
conditions.
2nd Note: If using a table-top convection oven the water bottle will need to
be laid down on it's side as it will not fit in the oven standing up.
Supplies needed:
- sublimatable substrate (tumbler)
- sublimation transfer
- Shrink Wrap
- heat gun (to preshrink the shrink wrap)
- heat tape
- convection oven
Oven settings:
- temperature - 375-380 degrees F
- dwell time - 2:30 to 3 minutes
STEPS:
1. Position transfer onto the substrate using heat tape to secure the transfer
to the substrate.
2. Place shrink wrap sleeve over the Polar Camel.
3. Using the heat gun carefully preshrink the wrap. It does not need to be
completely shrunk as it will continue to shrink in the oven.
4. Place Tumbler in oven with recommended settings listed above.
5. Halfway through the cook time open the oven and turn the Tumbler 180
degrees. This allows for even heating.
6. Pull from oven and remove wrap and paper. Caution contents will be hot
use heat resistant gloves for safety.
