Fund-a-Need: Sublimation Printer & Machine Tools
A sublimation printer & tools create full color heat transfer images that bind with materials to create seamless and long-lasting image transfers to sublimation ready materials.
Galveston Arts Center supports thousands of Galveston County residents through quality art education and outreach programs. A sublimation printer and heat press machine will extend our program capabilities for art education participants to create visual art that can be seen in everyday settings.
Our on-going in studio classes and camps can design custom visual art that connects directly to their lessons then transfer their art to common items to showcase their skills. The additional tools extend beyond sublimation print transfers and can additionally be used for custom designed vinyl heat transfer items. With a sublimation printer Galveston Arts Center has the ability to create adaptable and personalized visual art for students to transfer their artwork to a variety of media.
