I'm using 100% polyester (light grey t-shirt), with a black design (it's my first attempt). I printed my design using almost the exact same printer you used in this demo, the same paper setting and mirrored the image. The print came out really well. I then set the press up to 400°F, and set the timer for 45 seconds. I kept the press pillow under the shirt, and placed paper inside the shirt to prevent the dye from printing to the back of the shirt, and then placed paper on top of the sublimation paper before pressing. After 45 seconds nothing printed. I tried 3 times (printing a fresh design 3 times) and each time all I ended up with was a warm and blank t-shirt.

Hmm, that’s really strange! Did you use sublimation paper? 45 seconds is a little bit short, but you should have seen something transfer at that time in most cases.

Hi alex! Love seeing your simple yet thorough tutorial ^^ just one question, if our design is already in PNG file, are we not required to use cricut/cameo machine to make sure it works? I’m a little bit confused with other people’s tutorial where they use cricut. I hope you get what I actually meant, thank you! 😊❤
@DIYAlex
Жыл бұрын
You can use Cricut Design Space for print then cut (on a sublimation printer), but it’s not necessary. Plus you would need to remove the registration marks so they don’t sublimate onto your design. So I find it best just to print it without Design Space.

They have to be white or very light colored. Light gray works really well. Remember that it has to have at least 65% polyester to sublimate.

@DIYAlex

Normal inkjet ink will not adhere to polyester coated surfaces and survive being washed/ handled. It has to be sublimation ink in order for the shirt to be washed and hold up over time.

Hi there! I would not use any paper with color so it doesn't transfer to your design. I would give baking paper a try as long as it doesn't have wax on it. We call it parchment paper here in the states.

You need to adjust your colors in printer settings before printing to see if that helps. There are a lot of factors that can effect colors on a sublimation printer.
