Ceramic mugs are actually where I began my sublimation journey. I used my Cricut Mug Press and a sublimation image to create a fun, one-of-a-kind mug! I shared more details on the process in <a href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/sublimation-prints-cricut-mug-press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what kind of ceramic blank you choose, you will need two other things: a <a href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/convert-an-epson-ecotank-printer-for-sublimation-the-easy-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sublimation printer<\/a> and a heat source that

Keep in mind, you can&rsquo;t use just any ceramic mug or item. It must be specifically coated with a poly-coating in order for the ink transfer to take place&mdash;generally look for something labeled for &ldquo;sublimation.&rdquo; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few popular choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"White Sublimation Mugs - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mkmoWC\" data-linkid=\"73187\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Mugs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ceramic Tiles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tumblers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proworldinc.com\/sb-s-227-ceramic-coaster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coasters<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sublimation Ceramic Ornaments - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3iU19Zd\" data-linkid=\"73982\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Ornaments<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sublimation Ceramic Plates\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3iTJEZ3\" data-linkid=\"73983\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Plates<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-the-free-file\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_the_Free_File\"><\/span>Get the Free File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Want access to this free file?

Preparation processes and heat times vary wildly but the instructions should come with the blank or be found on the manufacturer or retailer&rsquo;s website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_Any_Film\"><\/span>Remove Any Film<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a clear protective film on top of your blanks, make sure you remove it before pressing (it will melt, and it won&rsquo;t be pretty!). This can be hard to see on some items, so check carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sublimate_the_Correct_Side\"><\/span>Sublimate the Correct Side<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure you are using the correct side of your blank. This is obvious when you&rsquo;re doing a mug, but a ceramic tile or coaster will most likely have a very white side and an off-white side. You want to be sure to sublimate your image to the whitest side. The off-white side is the back and does not contain the poly-coating needed for sublimation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sublimation_May_Be_Upside_Down\"><\/span>Sublimation May Be Upside Down<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ceramic sublimation blanks are pressed upside down. In some cases, the blank will be facing the base of your heatpress with the image below it so you are heating it from the back to the front. You can see an example of that in my post <a href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/cricut-infusible-ink-coasters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Make Cricut Infusible Ink Coasters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_a_Pressing_Pad\"><\/span>Use a Pressing Pad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In some other cases, the manufacturer instructions may have you use a pressing pad. This will help ensure an even press. If you are using a pressing pad, the press time will likely go way up. For instance, a ceramic coaster with no pressing pad is 90 seconds, while a tile with a pressing pad is 4 minutes. Always check the manufacturer&rsquo;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-troubleshooting-sublimation-on-ceramic\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Troubleshooting_Sublimation_on_Ceramic\"><\/span>Troubleshooting Sublimation on Ceramic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While printing on ceramic is usually fairly straightforward, you may still find you have problems with your transfers. If you want a full deep dive on what could go wrong, check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/troubleshooting-sublimation-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Troubleshooting Sublimation Printing<\/a> post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-transfer-is-faded\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Transfer_is_Faded\"><\/span>My Transfer is Faded<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why your transfer might be faded, but the one I&rsquo;ve found most often with ceramic is that it needs firm pressure in the press. If you are able to adjust your press, you may find that you&rsquo;ll get a more even, vivid press if you use more pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Sublimation_Transfer_Has_Streaks_Or_Banding\"><\/span>My Sublimation Transfer Has Streaks Or Banding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Streaks or banding are due to two issues: either using a low-quality printer setting, or having clogged printer heads. I found that faint banding sometimes &ldquo;presses out&rdquo; on softer materials, but it is VERY apparent on ceramic. You really do want the highest quality, most clear print possible. <a href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/troubleshooting-sublimation-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out this post<\/a> for more information on setting printer quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sublimation-on-a-ceramic-mug\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sublimation_on_a_Ceramic_Mug\"><\/span>Sublimation on a Ceramic Mug<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that I&rsquo;ve covered what makes ceramic unique and common issues, let&rsquo;s create a ceramic project together! This donut mug is easy to make using a Cricut Mug Press, a standalone mug press, or a mug press attachment on a larger heat press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-supplies-for-a-ceramic-coaster\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supplies_for_a_Ceramic_Coaster\"><\/span>Supplies for a Ceramic Coaster<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sublimation-on-Ceramic-1-3.jpg\" alt=\"Supplies for sublimation on ceramic: mug, heat resistant tape, sublimation transfer print, and Cricut Mug Press\" class=\"wp-image-74290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sublimation-on-Ceramic-1-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sublimation-on-Ceramic-1-3-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sublimation-on-Ceramic-1-3-750x501.jpg 750w, https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sublimation-on-Ceramic-1-3-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sublimation-on-Ceramic-1-3-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sublimation-on-Ceramic-1-3.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/store.heyletsmakestuff.com\/collections\/sublimation\/products\/donut-mug-wrap-sublimation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Printed sublimation transfer<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"White Sublimation Mugs - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mkmoWC\" data-linkid=\"73187\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sublimation mug<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Lint Roller - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/recommends\/lint-roller-amazon\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Lint roller<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Heat Tape - Cricut.com\" href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/recommends\/heat-tape-cricut-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Heat-resistant tape<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Butcher Paper Sheets - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3kjhfw7\" data-linkid=\"74289\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Butcher paper<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Heat Resistant Gloves - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FBOpQz\" data-linkid=\"73973\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Heat-resistant gloves<\/a> (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Cricut Mug Press - Cricut.com\" href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/recommends\/cricut-mug-press-cricut-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Cricut Mug Press<\/a>, <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Standalone Mug Press - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3DMgrYZ\" data-linkid=\"73506\" data-shortcode=\"true\">standalone mug press<\/a>, or <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Heatpress - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2x1tCYu\" data-linkid=\"60589\" data-shortcode=\"true\">5-in-1 heat press<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Cricut EasyPress Mat 12x12 - Cricut.com\" href=\"https:\/\/heyletsmakestuff.com\/recommends\/cricut-easypress-mat-12x12-cricut-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Cricut EasyPress Mat<\/a>&nbsp;or other heat-resistant surface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, let&rsquo;s make our mug!

Then center the design on your mug and tape your designs down using heat-resistant tape. You want the designs to be as flat as possible against the mug&mdash;any gaps and you risk an uneven transfer.
