This article provides an overview of screen printing for metal objects using heat press sublimation. It covers the necessary materials, equipment, and techniques required to successfully print on metal surfaces.

Screen printing involves applying ink onto a substrate using a squeegee or airbrush. Sublimation ink is used in this process, which allows it to transfer directly from the printer to the metal surface without requiring a physical transfer process.
