# Motivation sublimation designs

25 motivation designs, drawn as full-colour sublimation art, printed rather than cut. The set covers motivational quotes, affirmations and goal-setting lettering. They are made for wall art, shirts, mugs, journal covers, office signs and the framed piece that gets sold at a craft fair.

Export **PNG** at final physical size and at least 300 DPI, then print onto sublimation paper. There is no cut line and no weeding, the design is pressed into polyester, not cut from vinyl.

## What people make with motivation sublimations

Wall art, shirts, mugs, journal covers, office signs and the framed piece that gets sold at a craft fair, those are the pieces this collection gets used for. In this format they go on polyester shirts, poly-coated tumblers, mousepads, ceramic mugs and sublimation blanks, polyester or a poly coating only, never untreated cotton.

## Printing and pressing

Export the finished artwork as PNG at the size needed for your blank. Print using compatible sublimation ink and transfer paper, then follow the blank and transfer manufacturer’s instructions for temperature, time, pressure and mirroring. A mug, tumbler and shirt can require different equipment and settings; test your exact combination before a batch.

## Getting motivation designs right

Sublimation ink bonds only to polyester and polymer coating, so the blank decides the result more than the artwork does, the same file is vivid on a coated mug and washed out on cotton. Pure typography, so kerning is the design. Check letter spacing at final size before export. Typography is the whole design here, so kerning and welding are the whole job. Weld script into a single path, then check the counters, the enclosed spaces in a, e and o, are wide enough to weed. Under about 0.05in they tear out with the waste.
