The Ultimate Heat Press Guide: Time & Temp Settings for Every Sublimation Blank (2024 Edition)
Share
Getting the perfect sublimation transfer is a science. One minute too long, and your colors are scorched; ten degrees too low, and your design looks dull and faded. Whether you are a small business owner or a DIY hobbyist, knowing the precise Time, Temperature, and Pressure is the secret to professional-grade results.
| Sublimation Blank | Temperature (F/C) | Time (Seconds) | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20oz Skinny Tumblers | 360°F / 182°C | 50-60s per side | Medium |
| Ceramic Mugs (11oz/15oz) | 380°F / 193°C | 180-210s | Medium-Firm |
| Slate Stone Coasters | 400°F / 204°C | 300-480s (Face Down) | Medium |
| Clear/Frosted Glass Cans | 360°F / 182°C | 120-150s | Light-Medium |
💡 Pro Tips for a Perfect Finish
1. The "Ghosting" Fix: Use high-quality Heat Resistant Tape to secure your design tightly. For tumblers, ensure the paper is taped all the way across the seam.
2. Why Your Slate Coasters Need More Time: We recommend sublimating slate face down on the heat press to ensure the heat reaches the coating through the paper effectively.
