  • When your design is finished, hit the Print button and then on the Print Screen click on Print File.

How to Print It:

  • You should get a popup that asks if you want to open Sawgrass Print Utility.  You will need to click Open Sawgrass Print Utility.  If  you are not seeing this, you’ll need to disable your popup blocker.  
  • In the Sawgrass Print Utility, start by scrolling down and making sure  your print orientation is set to Landscape.
  • For this project, you can use the preset Stainless Steel Drinkware.
  • Make sure that the media size and type match what you have in the printer. On the Color Management Tab, we suggest having the Color Mode set to Vibrant.
  • When you’ve confirmed all of your settings, Hit Print.

How to Press It:

  • Turn on your press on and set the temperature to 375F degrees and the time to 55 seconds.  
  • Prepare your tumbler by using denatured alcohol on a lint free cloth to remove any dust or fibers.  
  • Remove the lid and the bluetooth speaker.
  • Wrap your design around the cup and tape it tightly in place with heat resistant tape.  
  • Place the cup in the press for 55 seconds.
  • Once the alarm sounds, open press, rotate tumbler, reset press for 45 seconds and close press.
  • When finished, remove the tumbler.

Tips & Tricks:

  • With all tumblers,  make sure to remove any accessories before putting in press.
  • For full wrap tumblers, press for half the time, rotate, and then finish pressing.  
  • We did not add text to this design, but you could add a shape with text to personalize the design.
