Materials Needed
To start the sublimation process, gather your materials. You'll need a ceramic bauble specifically designed for sublimation, a sublimation printer, a heat press, and a printed transfer. If you don't have a heat press, a heat gun can be used as an alternative.
Preparation
Prior to printing, ensure that the ceramic bauble is at room temperature. To create a smooth surface for printing, consider using a silicone mat as a base.
Printing
Set up your desired image in an ornament template, print the transfer, and carefully trim it to fit the ceramic bauble.
Applying the Transfer
Secure the transfer onto the ceramic bauble using heat tape or adhesive spray. This step is crucial to ensure that the design stays in place during the sublimation process.
Pressing
Now it's time to apply heat to the ceramic bauble. Utilize a heat press or heat gun to transfer the design onto the bauble. To prevent any damage, place a heat-resistant pad underneath the bauble to avoid cracking.
Tips for Success
For optimal results, remember to apply light pressure during the sublimation process. Avoid tilting the bauble to maintain an even distribution of heat and colour on the surface.
By following these steps and tips, you can successfully sublimate a ceramic bauble with a personalized design. Get creative and make your ornaments stand out with vibrant and durable sublimated designs!
