Sublimation Ceramic Magic Mug

• Mug Press: 385°F
• Time: 190 seconds depending on artwork

• • image may appear slightly visible under the magic color after it’s transferred 

Steps:
1. cut your transfers so that the transfer is slightly larger vertically than
the mug.
2. Position the substrate onto the transfer.
3. Tape two ends of the transfer allowing for the gap in the mug press where it will close.
4. Wrap a piece of scratch paper around the transfer and mug taping if necessary.
5. Center the transfer and mug 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 time slightly (10-15 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears yellowed or has brown spots on the rim of the top or bottom of the mug reduce the time slightly (10-15 seconds).
- Too much pressure can cause trapped moisture in the paper to "jet" away pulling ink with it in a spiked-peaked formation. To avoid this reduce the pressure.
- Take care when applying pressure as too much press can cause the tumbler to bend slightly which will prevent the lid from fitting properly.


IN A CONVECTION OVEN:

Note: Because not all ovens are created equally the time in an oven can
range from 6 to 9 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.


Oven settings:
- temperature - 405 degrees F
- dwell time - 6.5 to 8.5 minutes
- pressure - light to medium

STEPS:
1. Position transfer onto the substrate using heat tape to secure the transfer to the substrate.
2.. Use the shrink sleeve
itself.
3. 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 time slightly (30-45 seconds).
- If the image on the final product appears blurred or substrate appears
yellowed or has brown spots reduce the time slightly (30-45 seconds).
