Program Description

Event Details

Join us in MetaSpace 511 for Sublimation Badging: What You Need to Know to Get Started. We will go over the basics of sublimation and create a project using sublimation coasters.

***TO DO BEFORE CLASS: Please email metaspace511@mukwonagolibrary.org a color photo or color clip art/image you would like to put on your coaster.*** The image will be printed in the Makerspace for a 4" x 4" coaster.

Are you asking just what is sublimation printing and how does it work?

Lead Innovator Nancy will show you how to use the Sawgrass SG1000 Sublimation printer, the Digital Knight 14" x 16" heat press, and the supplies that you will need to do sublimation projects.

A sublimation printer will print ink dyes onto a special printer paper that you can print and transfer full-color designs to materials such as fabric, plastic, ceramic, paper, and more, using heat. The finished results are amazing and sublimation can open up so many maker ideas and projects for you-everything from colorful polyester T-shirts, mousepads, coasters, canvas bags, vibrant coffee mugs, and more.
