How To Use Siser Sublimation Markers

• Recently, our good friends at Siser introduced
  their brand-new Sublimation Markers to much
  fanfare. They debuted three marker packs
  the Primary Color Pack, the Pastel Color Pack,
  and the Black Pack which features three different
  chisel tips. Siser's patented ink formula allows
  artists young old to show off their drawing
  skills handwriting with markers that sublimate
  onto T-Shirts and other polyester materials. No
  cutting machine, no expensive ink, and no
  expensive printer are necessary! So today, we're
  going to show you just how fun these markers
  really are!

What You'll Need

• 1 pack of Sublimation Markers
• 1 sheet of regular Printer Copy paper
• 1 White 100 Polyester T-Shirt
• Heat Press or home iron
• Your imagination!

Drawing

• Whether you're a good artist or not, there's
  plenty of ways that sublimation markers can be
  used. For those with excellent drawing skills,
  the process is pretty straight-forward Simply
  draw the design of your choice onto the printer
  copy paper. However, if you are not necessarily
  gifted with such artistic skills, tracing is also
  an option. Tracing from printed pictures or even
  coloring books can help create the design of your
  choice. One important question that is always
  asked is whether Siser's markers can be used with
  their Cricut machine. We have found that (with
  some modification) the possibility does exist.
  For our machine, we had to wrap some masking tape
  around the marker to fit into the marker slot on
  the Cricut machine for more snug fit.
• One important thing to note is that all designs
  must be mirrored, which means if your drawing has
  letters, you'll need to write backwards. One easy
  trick for accomplishing this is to write the
  letters regularly in a black permanent marker on
  a separate sheet of paper, flip it over, and then
  trace it over with the sublimation markers.

Pressing It Onto Your Shirt

• Once your drawing has dried, it is time to press
  it onto your T-Shirt. We strongly recommend
  using 100 polyester T-Shirts for best results.
  Anything less than 100 and you'll start running
  into some issues. For example, if you are using a
  50/50 Cotton-Poly blend shirt, the sublimation
  dye will only remain on HALF of the threads
  because it will not stick to the cotton,
  resulting in a more faded look after the first
  wash. You can use heat tape to secure
  your drawing onto the shirt to avoid smearing as
  a result of movement.
• If you are using a heat press, your settings will
  be 370 F (or 188 Celsius) for 45 seconds with
  firm pressure and a hot peel. If you are using a
  home iron, however, your settings will be Linen
  (or highest setting) for 3 minutes using firm
  pressure, and also a hot peel.
• Important Tip If you are using a home iron, make
  sure all of the water is drained before using it
  with sublimation markers.
