Hello all, Design Team Member Lori here, posting a new project featuring Artexprix Sublimation Stamp Ink, Markers, Refill Ink and a Door Hanger Sublimation Blank. Why is Sublimation in my heart? Let me count the ways. One, Iron-on-Ink is so easy create with. Two, rich vibrant transfer every time. Three, consistent project results I can count on. All of these reasons result in endless ideas. Check out instructions and/or Quick Tip Mixed Media video below to see how I personalized this Sublimation Door Hanger.

What is Sublimation Iron-on-Ink?

It is an interesting and fun product that allows you to create a design on standard copy paper that can then be heat transferred onto surfaces (must have polyester in it or have a polyester coating). Once the project is transferred to the blank, it is lifetime permanent. Before Artesprix, you would need a fancy printer to experience this level of personalization, but not anymore!

Step 6: Place Door Hanger onto the inked paper and secure with heat tape.

Step 7: Make a "Sublimation Sandwich" by placing the secured project between two pieces of protective paper.

Step 8: Heat set using appropriate settings for the blank. Door Hangers call for 90 seconds at 400℉.

Step 9: After heat set, take-a-peek at the transfer to ensure it was successful. It is important that tape is not removed out of place until transfer is confirmed. This allows you to re-heat if needed.

Step 10: Once you have confirmed your transfer was successful, remove paper to reveal your permanent project!
