Level 2 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

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.

Dye sublimation is a printing technique that uses heat to transfer dye onto special materials such as plastic, card, paper, or fabrics.

Here at Pikes Peak Makerspace we can print onto mugs, too.
