What are Artesprix Sublimation Markers?

Sublimation is an ink that activates and transfers with heat. Artesprix Sublimation Markers have that ink in them and help with the creation of sublimation type craftsArtesprix Picture Frame Project

Step 2: Now with a Silhouette Cameo use the Pen Adapter (gray) and have the machine trace out the travel stamps. Color and design past the traced lines for a great transfer when heat pressing.
