Claim 0:
1. A method of operating a sublimating device, the method comprising:
providing heat to a cavity of the sublimating device by increasing a temperature of a heater to a predetermined target temperature;
determining a difference between the predetermined target temperature and a current temperature of the heater;
determining whether a workpiece is arranged in the cavity based on the determined difference between the predetermined target temperature and the current temperature of the heater; and
in response to determining that the workpiece is arranged in the cavity:
providing additional heat to the cavity to increase the current temperature of the heater to the predetermined target temperature; and
sublimating infusible sublimation ink onto an outer side surface of the workpiece; and

in response to determining that the workpiece is not arranged in the cavity, automatically Dowering-off the sublimating device.
