BusinessNow S1E1 - Start Sublimation Business, Heat Presses Complete Guide on Functions and Options
You’re finally ready to start your business in sublimation.
The first and most significant piece of equipment you require is a sublimation printer. There are mighty, multiskilled and budget-friendly printers like the Epson Inkjet printer that allow you to personalize a wide range of items such as mugs, coasters, plaques, T-shirts, mouse pads, just to name a few.
The second paramount piece of equipment to spend your money on is a heat press machine. There is a variety of heat press machinery that you can choose from, each that has different features. The range is so substantial, making a final decision on which machine to go for can be mind-boggling. But rest assured, it doesn’t have to be that way! What to consider first is the platen size (i.e. the size of the surface where you place your products). A larger press enables you to personalize enormous items.
What is required next is sublimation blanks which are blank products that you can sublimate on and personalize. Something significant to take note of is that only items that are made of polyester or have a special polyester coating can in fact be sublimated.
You have all the essential items that you will need. Now, you just need a few more things to prep your sublimation business before you can get the ball rolling! Here are a couple products that will make production a walk in the park:
• Transfer gloves – to safeguard your hands from harm like burns by wearing these when handling hot items.
• Thermal tape + tape dispenser - this heat-resistant tape fastens your paper onto your sublimation blanks to stop it from shifting.
•Teflon sheet or Silicone cover sheets - these sheets are utilized to stop sublimation ink from bleeding onto your heat press machine.
One last item needed to commence your sublimation business is a computer (PC or Mac) and design software. You don’t need a solid and complex laptop; you just need one that is able to run whichever design software you use. Examples of design software include Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel DRAW.
