Sublimation Settings: The Ultimate Time & Temperature Guide
Stop guessing at sublimation time and temperature settings! In this video, I’m breaking down the sublimation settings I use for a wide variety of blanks—including fabric, metal, hardboard, drinkware, slate, glass, and some of those specialty blanks that don’t fit neatly into any category.
I’ll walk through the general starting points I use for temperature, time, pressure, and orientation, along with some of the mistakes and little tricks I’ve learned along the way.
Whether you’re just getting started with sublimation or you’ve been doing it for a while, hopefully this gives you a handy reference to come back to when you’re working on your next project.
📋 COMPLETE SUBLIMATION SETTINGS GUIDE
I’ve put together the complete settings guide so you can quickly find the settings for the blank you’re working with:

In this video:
👕 Fabric & soft goods
🪧 Metal & hardboard
☕ Ceramic mugs
🥤 Stainless steel tumblers
🪨 Slate
🪟 Glass
📱 Phone cases
🖊️ Pens
And more!
I also cover why pressure, preparation, and your equipment can matter just as much as the temperature and time.
Have a sublimation blank that’s not in the guide yet? Let me know in the comments! I’m going to keep adding to this guide and hopefully turn it into the reference I wish I had when I started sublimation.
