Default Source for GLASS PINT GLASS BLANKS

We went to a supplier of sublimation blanks this week and he said they are out there but couldn't tell us who sells it. Does it exist? Anyone ever done it?

Thanks!

Nova Chrome and Conde have a frosted glass tankard. After pressing you lay it design up to cool.

Hi. Your glass needs a polyester sublimation coating to accept the ink correctly. Subli-Nation sells a clear fluid suitable for coating your own pint glass blanks with.

Am assuming you are planning to use a mug press for this, so you need to ensure your glass has a completely flat side, or it won't work. You also have to consider that glass can possibly fracture at high temperatures as unlike ceramics, it isn't designed to withstand the high temperatures it will be subjected to in the press.

Another option to consider is perhaps using inkjet waterslide transfers.

Hope this helps.
