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!

SublimationAcrylic Paint –Yellow, Brown, Blue

Step-by-Step Tutorial:

Step 1: Add water to Yellow Sublimation Acrylic paint to dilute, use fan brush to add paint splatters to paper. 

Step 2: Ink rubber stamps with Black Sublimation Stamp Pad Ink and stamp over splatters.

Pro Tip: Use a Stamp positioning tool to help with placement. 

Step 3: Add color to stamped images using Sublimation Acrylic Paint and a fine paint brush.

Step 4: Using Artesprix Heat safe tape to secure the finished design to the Kitchen Towel where desired.

Step 5: Make a "Sublimation Sandwich" by placing the prepared project between two pieces of protective paper.

Step 6: Heat set using appropriate settings for the project (60 seconds at 380 degrees with Medium pressure).

Step 7: After heat set, take-a-peek at the image to ensure transfer was successful, do not remove tape until transfer is confirmed. Re-heat if needed.

Step 8: Remove paper to reveal the transferred design!

Step 9: (Optional) Repeat steps above to create matching design to transfer to a Sublimation Mug.
