You're new to the skills necessary to complete this project, or maybe you've tried them just once or twice before.

christmas cottage pattern ceramic mugs

Unlike iron-on or heat transfer vinyl’s, sublimation transfers your design into the fabric or substrate rather than pressing on top of your surface. Acting much like a printer, you won't have to switch out inks, or use an additional dedicated system for your EasySubli® transfers.

Print Project

Step 1

First, click here for trendy designs for your mug. Download it to your computer, then upload to your CreativeStudio in Sawgrass® Print Manager.

Step 2

Select the template that best matches your substrate and import your design. Create it how you want it to appear on your mug.

Step 3

Print your design from your Sawgrass™ printer onto sublimation paper.
TIP: If there are any words or direction-oriented aspects in your design, be sure to mirror before printing.

Step 4

Use heat resistant tape to attach the printed design as desired onto your mug with the ink side facing your mug.

Step 5

Press the “on” icon button to preheat your Mug Press™.
TIP: If this is the first time you are using your Mug Press™, be sure to use the small white USB cord included to set up your machine.

Step 6

Fold a piece of butcher paper three times and wrap around your mug to protect the inner walls of your Mug Press™.

Step 7

Slide your mug inside your Mug Press™. Push the lever down to start the heating process.
TIP: Watch the lights on the top of your machine light up as it progresses.

Step 8

Once you hear the beep, lift the lever and remove your mug. Place on a trivet (or other heat resistant surface) to completely cool.

Step 9

Remove the sublimation paper to reveal your design.

Step 10

Repeat Steps 1-9 for additional mugs.
