Stop Edge Fading on Sublimation Tumblers ❌ 👇Quick Fix Tutorial #pydlife #sublimation

👀 Why is your sublimation fading at the edges?

If your design looks vibrant in the center but faded, blurry, or uneven around the edges, the problem usually isn’t your printer or ink—it’s the transfer process.

🔥 Common causes of edge fading:

❌ Insufficient pressure between the transfer and the blank

❌ Loose sublimation paper during pressing

❌ Uneven heat distribution

❌ Curved surfaces not fully secured

❌ Incorrect shrink wrap application

✅ How to fix it:

✔ Secure the transfer paper tightly

✔ Use heat-resistant tape properly

✔ Apply a shrink wrap sleeve for curved items

✔ Ensure even pressure across the entire surface

✔ Use the correct temperature and pressing time

💡 This is especially important for:

☕ Sublimation mugs

🥤 Tumblers

📱 Phone cases

🍽️ Plates

💅 Nail blanks

Any project with curves, edges, or full-wrap designs requires consistent pressure to achieve vibrant edge-to-edge results.

The good news? Once you understand the cause, edge fading becomes one of the easiest sublimation problems to fix.

🔥 Better pressure = Better transfers.
