Best Vinyl for Mugs?!

Recommended Posts

Hey,

Just a quick question from people who have maybe tried this in the past - I'm looking for the best vinyl to use on mugs/ceramics. I use heat transfer vinyl as of right now - but thought I might try some other types if people have some experience with them? Perhaps the 751/951?

 

Thanks!

Yep - I do some sublimation and then also some HTV - which works surprisingly well! Been through the dishwasher a lot and still holding strong. I just wanted to see if anyone else had used other vinyl for it.

Learn something new every day. I've done tons with oracal 651 before I started doing dye sub.

So what do you do with the tv? Put it on with your household iron? I have seen the sublimation stuff. And that is pretty cool.

I use a heat press for it - and after about 40 secs or so, it looks perfect. I have yet to have an issue with it. I might get a few yards of 651 and try it. We have some greenstar vinyl that is just the cheap stuff.
