About this guide
A toaster or convection oven used for sublimation must be dedicated to crafting from its first transfer onward—never use it for food preparation again. Prioritize convection, an adjustable control that reaches the transfer temperature specified by your blank, and an interior that actually fits the wrapped item with airflow around it. Purpose-built craft ovens are honestly identified below; the rest are consumer countertop ovens that may be designated for craft-only use.

Buying tips
- Use a separate oven thermometer to validate the actual temperature at the working rack.
- Leave space around wrapped blanks so convection air can circulate; do not crowd the cavity.
- Mark the appliance CRAFT ONLY and never use it for food once sublimation materials have been heated inside.
