Learn how to make better sublimation tumblers than EVER with my most valuable tips!
There’s something magical about peeling away that last strip of heat-resistant tape and revealing a tumbler covered in vibrant colors. I still remember the first time I tried it. I had my brand-new sublimation printer, a stack of sublimation paper, and a blank tumbler. I couldn’t wait to decorate my new favorite cup! I followed the steps, put it in my convection oven, and waited. When I finally pulled it out, I found white spots, a crooked seam, and my design was blurry! That’s when I realized that to truly make better sublimation tumblers, I needed to master the little details.
