With sublimation though, you can print any design you want onto a piece of sublimation paper and transfer it right onto you blanks. Which means that I will often skip over making a design I like with my Cricut because there are too many layers involved and/or I don’t have all the colors of vinyl. I can do it, but I’m not the most skilled when it comes to layering. If you can print it, you can sublimate it without having to worry about layering- Layering vinyl and HTV is not my superpower.The permanence of it- With sublimation the ink is infused right into the material you sublimate it onto (as opposed to sitting as a layer on top) which means you will never have to deal with HTV peeling off of shirts or vinyl peeling off of mugs.There are two main things that have me head over heels in love with sublimation printing: I have to tell you, it’s so cool being able to print something out on your printer and permanently apply it to a craft project! Why Is Sublimation Printing So Great?įirst of all I want to say, I love my Cricut cutting machines, but I’m also really excited about sublimation crafting and I think that sublimation printing makes a great partner to Cricut crafting. A heat source like a Cricut Mug Press or Cricut EasyPress.Sublimation Ink- I use Hiipoo Ink which my readers can save 10% on here!.A sublimation printer or a printer you convert to a sublimation printer like the Epson EcoTank Printer.There is probably a whole lot more science to it than that, but for sublimation you need 5 basic things: The heat converts the solid particles of the sublimation ink into a gaseous state that can be absorbed into the material you are applying it to. In the most simple terms, sublimation printing is the act of transferring a design printed on sublimation paper using special ink onto sublimation friendly fabric or materials using heat and pressure. Let’s start at the beginning shall we? You might be asking “What is sublimation printing?”
