Tools and Supplies to Make it:
- Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
- Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks
- TruPix Classic Paper
- Tumbler Press
- Stainless Steel Sublimation Water Bottle
How to Make It:
- For this project, we are using a sublimation stainless steel water bottle.
- In the Sawgrass Print Utility, we chose Tumbler for the product.
- We printed this on “8.5×11” TruePix Paper
How to Press It:
- Turn on your press on and set the temperature to 380F (193C) degrees
- Wrap your design around the tumbler and use heat resistant tape to secure the design.
- Place bottle in press and close it.
- Press the bottle for 60 seconds at medium pressure.
- Once finished, open press, rotate the bottle and press for another 60 seconds.
- When finished, remove the bottle from the press and remove the sublimation transfer paper.
Tips & Tricks:
- Rotating the water bottle half way through pressing allows you to do a full wrap design.
- Make sure the transfer paper is pulled tight and taped all the way around the water bottle to help get a smooth and consistent press.
