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.
