Getting Started With Sublimation
Sublimation offers users the capability to print in full colour, photographic quality across a wide range of printable items with some of the lowest investment and setup costs in the print and personalisation industry – and with growing demand for short run customised products and personalised gifts, there has never been a better time to get started!
Our Starter Packages range from A4 Printers and Heat Presses, up to A1 Printers and large format A1 Pneumatic Presses – and each package is capable of producing hundreds of different products, from Mugs and Slates through to Aluminium Prints, T-Shirts and many more.
As with any business time is of the essence. You’ll be glad to know the process only takes a matter of minutes from start to finish, making it the perfect process for anyone working to a tight schedule.
Where We Come In
With a range of Starter Packages to choose from and in house technical support, we’re on hand to guide you through the whole process. Whether you’re starting out in a spare room or expanding an existing business, our trained technical support staff will guide you along the way to help you achieve the most out of your latest investment.
This support is ongoing, not just when you buy your Printer and Heat press.
We have over 500 printable items to choose from (with our range growing all the time). We’re on top of what’s new in Dye Sublimation and only bring in the best quality products available. With each of our Printers & Presses we provide pressing instructions & templates for each product in either vector or bitmap formats – helping to make the design and print process simpler and quicker. See below for a breakdown of productions costs on some of our most popular products.

What do I need to Sublimate…?
There are a few essential items required to get started with Dye Sublimation – see our recommended items below!
Sublimation Printer
The starting point of any system is a reliable dye sublimation printer.
Sublimation Inks
Choose from our range of Genuine Sublimation Inks.
Heat Presses
Add a Heat Press – or multiples – to process your chosen products.
Dye Sublimation Blanks
With over 500 individual products to choose from, you’ll never be short of inspiration.
We understand our Starter Kits may not suit all of your requirements, so in these cases we’ll work with you to build the Starter Kit that’s right you.
For example, you may wish to have the flexibility to produce larger prints as a long term goal, but only produce mugs and smaller A4 flat items initially – and we can help by bundling these items into a custom kit. For those working with limited space, or looking to travel with their kit, a Craft Press offers a lightweight alternative to the traditional flat bed press offered in our smaller kits.
Our sales & technical support staff are more than happy to help with questions you have on our equipment, so call us on 01407 720011 or contact us here.
