Sublimation

Heat Presses
On March 15, 2021, I ordered the newly introduced Cricut MugPress and started working on a plan to use the press as soon as it arrived. By afternoon, I was convinced that I should order the Cricut EasyPress 2, too, as I wanted to sublimate objects that the EasyPress was better suited for. Upon ordering, both presses were forecast to arrive by March 31. Much to my surprise, the MugPress arrived just four days later, on March 19, but the Easy Press ended up getting lost in shipment and didn’t arrive until April 13.

Dye Sublimation Printer
I had planned to convert one of the inkjet printers I already had to a dye-sublimation printer but after researching, I decided to pick up an Epson EcoTank ET-2760 printer and fill the color tanks with dye-sublimation ink from the beginning. I have wanted to get back into dye-sublimation for over 10 years but the timing never seemed right. The Cricut EasyPress and MugPress make the process so much easier, faster, and safer that I could not resist jumping back in now. In this section, I will be featuring my work and research results in pursuing sublimation both as a hobby and revenue opportunity.
