Operating Instructions: Sublimation Process
Follow these steps to successfully sublimate your designs onto HTVRONT mugs. This process typically requires a sublimation printer, sublimation ink, sublimation paper, heat-resistant tape, and a mug heat press.
- Create Your Design: Design your image using appropriate software. Ensure the design is mirrored before printing, as sublimation prints are reversed during transfer.
- Print the Design: Print your mirrored design onto sublimation paper using a sublimation printer with sublimation ink.
- Prepare the Mug: Carefully wrap the printed sublimation paper around the mug, ensuring the design is flat and securely positioned. Use heat-resistant tape to fix the paper firmly to the mug, preventing any shifting or ghosting during the heat press process.
- Heat Press Application: Place the prepared mug into a mug heat press. Set the heat press to the recommended temperature and time settings for sublimation mugs (these settings can vary based on your specific heat press model and ink, so consult your heat press manual for precise recommendations).
- Cool Down: Once the heat press cycle is complete, carefully remove the hot mug (using heat-resistant gloves) and allow it to cool completely before removing the sublimation paper.
- Reveal Your Design: Once cooled, gently peel off the sublimation paper to reveal your vibrant, permanent design on the mug.

Maintenance and Care
- Hand Wash Recommended: To preserve the vibrancy and longevity of your sublimated designs, hand washing is recommended.
- Avoid Dishwasher: These sublimation mugs are NOT suitable for dishwasher cleaning. High temperatures and harsh detergents in dishwashers can degrade the sublimation coating and design over time.
- No Microwave Sublimation: The mugs are NOT designed for sublimation using a microwave. Sublimation requires specific heat and pressure application from a dedicated heat press.
- General Cleaning: For daily cleaning, use mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
Troubleshooting Common Sublimation Issues
- Faded or Dull Colors:
- Ensure your heat press temperature and time settings are correct for sublimation mugs.
- Verify that you are using high-quality sublimation ink and paper.
- Check if the pressure on your mug press is adequate.
- Ghosting or Blurry Images:
- Make sure the sublimation paper is securely taped to the mug with heat-resistant tape to prevent movement during pressing.
- Allow the mug to cool completely before removing the paper. Premature removal can cause ghosting.
- Uneven Transfer:
- Ensure the mug press applies even pressure across the entire surface of the mug.
- Pre-heat your mug press to ensure consistent temperature.
- No Transfer:
- Confirm you are using sublimation ink and paper, not regular ink or paper.
- Check if the heat press reached the correct temperature.
- Ensure the design was printed in mirror image.
