Sublimation designs need to be sharp, colorful, and sized for the blank. Ours are drawn by hand and exported as high-resolution PNGs with transparent backgrounds, set up for common blanks such as 20 oz skinny tumblers, 11 oz mugs, and T-shirt fronts. Check each listing for exact dimensions.
You need a sublimation printer, sublimation paper, a heat press, and polyester or polymer-coated blanks. Colors may look different after pressing, so make a test print first. Open the PNG in your design or printing software, including Canva.
How to Choose

Match the design dimensions to your blank: tumbler, mug, or T-shirt.
Check whether the design is already mirrored. If not, mirror it before printing when your transfer process requires it.
Check the preview for clean edges and stray pixels that could appear around the printed design.
For the clearest colors, choose white or light-colored polyester or polymer-coated blanks.
Choose a Commercial license if you sell pressed items.

Frequently asked questions

Does sublimation work on cotton?

Sublimation works best on light-colored polyester or polymer-coated blanks. It does not bond directly to untreated cotton.

Do I need a heat press?

For consistent results, use a heat press. A mug press works well for mugs.

Are the colors accurate?

Colors can look different on screen and after pressing. Make a test print before using your final blank.

Can I print on transfer paper for dark shirts?

Dark-fabric transfers use a different process. These files are prepared for sublimation printing.
