Tumbler Heat Press, 325 to 890 mL
Tumbler Heat Press, 325 to 890 mL
Turn a plain tumbler into a present.
A bench-top press that heats a sublimation design onto a cup in about a minute, from a small mug up to a 890 mL travel tumbler.
The heating band wraps the cup rather than pressing on one face, so the design goes on evenly the whole way round. You set the temperature anywhere from 0 to 250 °C and the timer anywhere from 0 to 999 seconds on the touchscreen, and a dual controller watches the heat and adjusts it while the press runs. Recommended times for different cups are printed in the instructions.
It takes cups from about 325 mL to 890 mL and up to 250 mm tall: ceramic mugs, Mason jars, stainless steel bottles and straight-sided tumblers. The body is carbon steel plate and stainless steel, and the whole thing weighs 5.8 kg with the accessories.

Questions
What else do I need to buy?
Sublimation blanks, which are the cups themselves, and a way to print your design. That means a sublimation printer with sublimation ink. The press comes with sublimation paper, heat-resistant tape and gloves, so once you can print, you can start.
Will it fit my tumbler?
If the cup holds between about 325 mL and 890 mL and stands no taller than 250 mm, it will go in. In craft shops these are usually sold as 11 to 30 oz blanks. Measure the height first if you have a tall bottle.
How long does one cup take?
About a minute in the press once the machine is up to temperature, plus the time to print and tape the design. The timer runs from 0 to 999 seconds, so you can set whatever the instructions recommend for the cup you are doing.
Can I use it on an ordinary power point?
Yes. On Australian mains it draws 500 W, which is well inside what a normal wall socket takes. Give it a clear, solid bench and keep the area around it free while it is hot.
What stops it overheating?
It has an over-temperature warning that alerts you when the press reaches its upper limit, and it powers itself off after 30 minutes with nothing happening. Use the gloves that come with it when you take a cup out.
