The sublimation machine is for sublimation printing of detailed and colorful images to transfer onto items such as shirts, hats, tumblers, mugs, coasters, mousepads and more!

It’s easy to get started. Once you find an image you want to transfer onto an item, you’ll upload it onto our computer to print. Once printed on the sublimation paper, you’ll transfer the image to the item using our heat-press. And just like that, you’ve created a custom item!

The BIL carries paper in size 8.5×11 with each print costing only $1. Please bring in your item to transfer on and make sure your item has a sublimation coating, either included with the item or applied on your own.

The possibilities are endless with the sublimation printer! Don’t wait to start making custom creations at the Boone Innovation Lab!


Located at the Main Library, Hebron Branch, and Walton Branch, the BIL is a place to create, learn, and preserve memories. For more information or to reserve equipment visit Boone Innovation Lab. Hours vary according to staff availability. Appointments are required.
