sublimation coasters templates

I know how hard it is to be different in sublimation game. Most people thinks that ebay auction with "anything on your mug or coaster" is enough to make some money. Wrong. I think is to many who does that so we need something different then "anything on your mug..." so how about some ready made designs??? sounds good? of course it sounds good :D So today I would like to do some giveaway :) yep :) this mean you get something for nothing... Free :)

how about 33 psd designs for your sublimation coasters??? every  template has a window for picture. check them out...
looking good? they where originally made for metal tins that hold sublimation lighter but then i discovered they look better on coasters and may be very good addition to printed photo mug!  ... and some funny ones there too! you can download them all free of charge any time you want. You can also use them on your products as they come with commercial use license (resale not allowed!).

you can download them from here. Simply add it to cart (dont worry is free.) Price will show 0.00. ho to the checkout  and after couple of minutes you should receive your email with download details. yoooopiiii... so simple :D

All the best!!! hope you enjoy them ;)

ps. if you like my give away then sign up to my blog! i am going to do much more of them soon ;)

video of me in progress of doing t-shirt. great fun and it can be realy inexpensive!
You can get cheap Chinese plotter same as me. seiki T720. work realy well but they can be a real pain to install :)

but as i said its all great fun!

sublimation mugs. How do I know what ones to use?

On start please forgive me my luck of correct English. This is not my first language and all i learned is from newspapers and some friends.

  If you are like me than you probably came across many different mugs that are suitable for sublimation. But how do we known what ones are good and what ones are bad? what mug will survive dishwasher use and what one that are hand wash only? well,  we don't :) we can rely on others recommendations on forums or suppliers web sites (most of them state that they products are best any way so no much trust there :) ) or check it by our self.

Not long time ago on great sublimation uk forum (forum link) someone mentioned extreme test that can be carried in the kitchen. As we all know carrying dishwasher test every day in our dishwasher would take ages or it would become very expensive test. Then someone recommended to use similar chemicals as we use in dishwasher but in pot of boiling water! hmm. this all make me think! And not only me :) one of my friends decided to have a go with this test and boiled few different mug brands for an 1hour time in water with dishwasher tablet inside. Yes! very extreme test but hey ho!! why not ey?
Here is what happened after he took them out of boiling watter! check it out here for photos and more info: extreme mug test!
