Sublimation is the method of applying an image to specially coated ceramic mugs
using four main ingredients: sublimation ink, sublimation transfer paper, heat
and pressure.
Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without
going through a liquid phase. The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled
with pressure. Hard items such as ceramics require a special coating to accept
the sublimation inks. Sublimation dyes are transparent in nature and should
only be used with white or lightly colored, specially coated ceramic mugs.
The inherent nature of the sublimation process may render slight color variations.
To avoid premature fading of your sublimated imprint, it is recommended that
this product be hand washed only.
