Just be sure that whatever design you create is compatible with the type of transfer paper and vinyl cutter you’re using.
Step 3: Cut Your Design
After designing your mug in Design Space, it’s time to cut out your design using the vinyl cutter. Place the vinyl onto the cutting mat and set up the settings according to the instructions on the transfer paper packaging. Once everything is set up correctly, start cutting out your design!
Step 4: Transfer Your Design
Once your design has been cut out, it’s time to transfer it onto the mug itself. Place the vinyl onto the mug and use either an iron or heat press according to instructions on the transfer paper packaging (for ironing be sure not to exceed 300 degrees Fahrenheit). After that, carefully peel away any excess vinyl and let cool before using!
