About Our Technical Writer and Designer:

jennifer barton technical writer for AtoZofSublimation

Hi there! I’m Jennifer…your sublimation guide source, perpetual crafter, content writer, a successful sublimation business owner, and a proud US Air Force Veteran.

Just like you, sublimation piqued my creative interest and wanted to find out more about what sublimation is and how to get started on sublimation. For several months, all I did was read, research, and take notes. Lots and lots of notes!

I wanted to find out what is the best sublimation printer for my budget, what else I needed to start sublimating, how to design for sublimation, and where to get my sublimation blanks. There were so many information about sublimation but they were scattered throughout the internet. I had so many bookmarked websites for various tidbits of information about sublimation and most had outdated information too.

It took me a few more months to even hit that “purchase” button on my first sublimation equipment. It was because I was afraid it may be the wrong kind for what I wanted to do. Let’s face it, it is an expensive equipment and I wanted to make sure it really is the right one for what I wanted to make. 

This was 2013. And back then, the information about sublimation was limited.

My very first sublimation printer was a Ricoh Aficio SG 3110DNw and used it for personal sublimation projects. This was before Sawgrass bought the Ricoh printers and repackaged them as the SG400.

Sublimation was so much fun and I was hooked at trying every sublimation blank I can get my hands on. Then I realized that I can turn this obsession into a business. So I did just that…opened a sublimation business in 2017. I learned a lot about sublimation, including what not to do, what works, and practical tips for sublimation.

And now, I’ve been in the sublimation business for years and realized the need for a central source of information for the Basics of Sublimation. Crafters shouldn’t have to scour the internet for bits and pieces of this type of information.  You should not need weeks and months to comb the internet for the right information you need in order to make an informed decision on how to get started on sublimation, how to design, and sublimation techniques.

Here at SublimakersAcademy, I gather and share all the information I’ve learned about sublimation. The goal is to become your one-stop source of sublimation knowledge and to save you time by giving you the answer to all your sublimation questions. We both know that your time is valuable and like you, I would rather be crafting than spending hours trying to find one simple answer to a sublimation question.

Because sublimation is constantly evolving, I continuously read, research, attend seminars, and go to Printing and Sublimation Expos (virtual and in-person). There are always new equipment, new ink, new techniques, and new substrates so it is important to stay current. I will share the most updated information so you also stay current.

Based on my decade’s worth of sublimation knowledge and actual hands-on experience, I can teach you sublimation and make you a sublimaker!
