Print your design onto sublimation paper, then use heat to transfer it to a t-shirt, mug, hat, or other specially-prepared object.
A few of the things you can make:
- Event t-shirts
- Team hats

What you'll need:
- You may bring in your own sublimation blanks—items specially produced for the sublimation process—to use with our heat presses.
- You supply the print file.
- The library makerspace's sublimation paper and ink must be used for all projects.
- To transfer your design to a shirt, bring in a 100% polyester or a polyester-blend item. The more polyester in the fabric, the more vivid your image will be in the finished project. Your shirt must be a lighter color than the design you plan to transfer.
