Ink Experts Style Mug Size Sublimation Paper 120gsm (100 Sheets)

Product Information

A sublimation mug is a mug (yes, like a coffee mug!) that has been made with a type of ink transfer called sublimation. Sublimation is a chemical process that takes a solid to a gaseous state, skipping the liquid phase. In sublimation printing, “solid” ink is embedded into a polyester substrate by heating it straight to a gas. Ink Experts Style LITE Dye Sublimation paper has been manufactured specifically for dye sublimation applications. Sublimation mugs have a special poly coating applied to the outside—a regular ceramic mug will not work. When you are shopping for mugs, confirm they are sublimation/poly coated. To fit in the Cricut Mug Press, you want the outer diameter to be between 3.2″ and 3.4″. For this project, I’m using a 11oz Cricut sublimation mug. You can also use silicone wraps instead of shrink sleeves. You just wrap your design around your mug and tape it as we just did. Then wrap your mug in butcher paper and tape it under the handle. Now just place the silicone wrap around your mug and close it.

High humidity: In the humidity above 70%. It’s better to choose 110-120 gsm. Since the paper is very easy to become damp with high humidity, it will become softer and stiffness is weak at the same time. If low weight paper is used, it will be hard to print smoothly because of the stiffness and hardness go down. At this time, 110-120 gsm is the best choice.
