Standard 11oz and 15oz ceramic mugs sublimate at 400°F (204°C) for 200-220 seconds. Always pre-heat your mug for 10 seconds to remove moisture, and use a mug press or convection oven with shrink wrap for even heat distribution.

Stainless steel tumblers typically need 375°F (190°C) for 80-90 seconds. Use a silicone wrap or shrink wrap to ensure tight contact between the transfer and tumbler. Rotate halfway through if using a convection oven.

Hot peel means removing the transfer paper immediately after pressing while still hot. Cold peel requires waiting for the substrate to cool completely. Warm peel is somewhere in between - wait 10-15 seconds. Always follow the recommended peel type for best results.

Pure cotton cannot be sublimated directly because the dyes need polyester fibers to bond with. However, you can use sublimation coating sprays, apply a polyester-based base layer like glitter HTV, or use sublimation-ready cotton fabrics that have been specially treated.
