Sublimation is a really fun and useful crafting technique that creates vibrant, full-color objects, such as shirts, mugs, tumblers, signs, and so much more.

I have put together a list of things i use OFTEN when I am sublimation printing things.

A Sublimation printer! I have the Epson 15000, and I AM SO GLAD i upgraded to the Epson 15000. This puppy can print 13x19 inch paper! The paper I ALWAYS have on my craft cart is the 13x19 HTVRONT Sublimation Paper, The 11x17 HTVRONT Sublimation paper, and ALL sublimation printers take the standard sizing HTVRONT Sublimation Paper of 8.5x11 inches

(Be sure to store your paper in the box it comes in to keep it flat!)_

.

INK- YOU CAN ONLY USE SUBLIMATION INK- THIS IS WHAT I USE EVERYDAY (PHOTO ABOVE!)

Butcher Paper- Yes, Like for baking. This will help you create a barrier to protect your heat sources.

Which brings me to the heat sources! You will need a great beginner heat press like this one if you are doing things like tee shirts, sublimation coasters, or any sublimation blank that is flat! If you are making mugs or tumblers, You should try a mug press like this! This is my exact one.  You can make really sweet tumblers with Sublimation Tumblers or Really cute mugs with sublimation mugs!

A friend of mine uses THIS mug press by HTVRONT- The HTVRONT Auto Tumbler Heat Press Machine- This one does not require you to adjust the pressure! This can really be a big issue for beginners, so this would be a great starter machine. 

Like this coffee mug i made!

A good pack of sublimation blanks to practice on is this variety pack!

Peep My friend Leslie and I at a show! The heat press on the left is what I am referring to! 

Next on my list is ALWAYS HEAT TAPE! and this heat tape dispenser!

You need this to help you prevent shadowing!

The other thing I recommend are Heat Resistant gloves

Now, The list doesn't necessarily end here. These are just things i use all of the time in my business and personal crafting! I cannot wait to see what you come up with!
