Sublimation is an incredibly popular technique for creating custom designs with Cricut. It involves transferring a design from paper to fabric, wood, or other materials using a heat press.
The process is simple and relatively inexpensive, making it a great option for those looking to create one-of-a-kind items with their Cricut machine.
Sublimation works by using special inks that are formulated to be heat resistant and then printed onto special transfer paper. This paper is then placed onto the desired material and placed into the heat press.
Heat is applied to the material and the ink sublimates, or transfers, from the paper onto the material.
This process results in bright and vibrant designs that are incredibly durable and will not fade over time. Furthermore, there is no need for any additional finishing processes as all of the inks used are permanent. This makes it ideal for creating items such as t-shirts, mugs, phone cases, ornaments, and much more.
The only downside to using sublimation with your Cricut machine is that you will need to purchase special inks and transfer papers in order to do so; however, these can be purchased at any craft store or online retailer that carries Cricut products.
