Both BLDG 61 and STUDIO 24 feature a flat and round heat press. Use our specialty printers to design full color images that can then be transferred with pressure and high heat onto a variety of plastic based surfaces.
There are a variety of suitable materials for dye sublimation: polyester fabric and felt, acrylic yarn, coated tumblers, ceramic mugs and neoprene. Lookout for materials market as "dye sublimation blanks", these work great! If you try to use a natural material (like cotton), the dye won't adhere properly. Your material needs to be light in color for the design to pop
Drop into an Open Studio in either makerspace to learn the dye sub process and try it for yourself
