Sets of equipment for sublimation

What is sublimation equipment?

The basic kit includes not only high-tech devices, but also sublimation bases and necessary consumables.

1. A inkjet printer that must be connected to a computer or laptop. You can use a special sublimation printer, but it is more expensive and is mostly used for wide-format printing.
2. A heat press - the main part of any sublimation kit. This device transfers the printed image onto the sublimation blank. The heat press can transfer images onto glass, ceramics, metal, plastic, cardboard, and fabric. With it, you can create exclusive mugs, pens, hats, clothing, souvenirs, puzzles, and much more.

They can be of several types:

• Flat presses - for clothing, pillows, notebooks, posters, metal blanks.
• Cylindrical presses - for piggy banks, mugs, thermoses, glasses.
• Plate presses.
• Cap presses.
• Pen presses.
• Universal heat press - has several interchangeable nozzles that allow you to apply sublimation printing to several different products.
• Vacuum 3D press - for volumetric models on which the image needs to be applied from all sides, for example, phone cases or dishes.

When choosing a heat press, pay attention to the nozzles. They can be designed for cups and plates of different diameters. Think about which size will be most relevant now, be sure to find out from the consultant about the possibility of supplementing the device with missing nozzles in the future.

1. Sublimation blanks do not have to be white. You can familiarize yourself with the entire variety of monochrome and multicolored models of blanks for sublimation presented on the website. The most important condition is the presence of a polymer coating, in which sublimation inks, heated to a gaseous state under the influence of high temperatures and pressure of the heat press, are imprinted. The image on such a blank is bright, clear, very saturated, protected from scratches and delamination.
2. Consumables - sublimation paper, sublimation ink, thermal tape, and much more.

Should you buy a complete set or buy parts?

Buying sublimation equipment is profitable for novice businessmen, as the equipment and components are perfectly matched to each other and have high productivity.

If the cost of such a set is currently unavailable to you, you can not buy a kit with a multifunctional heat press, but purchase sublimation equipment for mugs, plates, dishes, and when the business goes up, simply buy the nozzles that are missing.
