Sublimation Transfer Printing: Printing onto Mugs and Magnets Join us for a monthly series as we learn all about Sublimation Transfer Printing. Sublimation transfer printing uses heat and pressure to transfer full-color artwork to polyester fabric or polymer-coated items (such as mugs, tote bags, and magnets).

This month we'll be focusing on how to print an image onto a white t-shirt. |
