Dye Sublimation Printing
Dye sublimation is a printing technique that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as plastic, card, paper, or fabrics.
Here at Pikes Peak Makerspace we can print onto mugs, too.
No reservations are required for our Dye Sublimation Printer at this time, it is "first‑come, first‑served".
However, be sure to log your printing job using the Printer Usage Form.
The Dye Sublimation Printing Area at Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) consists mostly of Level 2 equipment.
Additional PPM training is required to use any of our Level 2 equipment.
