    Yes they are made for sublimation. I have not tried preheating the mugs yet! I guess I'm going to try some more time/temp combos and see if it changes anything. I'm trying to stay away from doing them in a oven. The wife is already past the point of being tolerant. I already have three different mug press, two heat presses and two printers. i think she will finally lose it if I buy an oven. Thanks for the replies!! It is very much appreciated!!!

    Thanks for the reply. I also cut vinyl but my passion is sublimation. Way too many videos on youtube. Too many differences with each one. Thanks again.

    20 Oz Skinny Tumblers

    Just wanted to say hello and that I'm a newbie to the forum. I have been sublimating items for over a year now and i decided to purchase a 20 Oz tumbler heat press (Craft Express). I'm struggling to find my sweet spot on time and temps. I have tried medium pressure and light pressure. Temp ranges from 365 - 356, and times from 75 seconds to 60 seconds while rotating the tumbler to get a full press. I get good color saturation (Hippo paper) but I'm getting tape transfer marks and strange imprints on the mugs. I also cover the tumblers with butcher paper before i press them. Every time I press a tumbler I feel like I'm burning up a ten dollar bill. Tumblers were bought through a local craft store so i don't know the brand name. I have included some pics for your viewing pleasure. Any suggestions, tips or hints that will bring me to that sweet spot will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
