I just have to say that not everybody dominates the art of teaching, and you certainly do! I came across your videos while trying to understand the art of sublimation. I was super confused and with your videos, I knew what I needed in less than 30 minutes. Thank you!!!

I love the step by step approach you are taking regarding the subject - too many times its all rushed through within one video so at least with the first video, there is time to process and do a little at a time like researching printers, ordering what we need, practicing and then moving on to the next step. I have a question. What are the capabilities of the sublimation printer; for instance - is it possible to take a piece of scrapbooking paper or a non png file, copy it using the sublimation printer / paper and then use that copy in a sublimation project? I see all these digital papers that are for sale on Etsy and when I ask if the paper can be used for sublimation, its usually a“no” - just for scrapbooking purposes. Thanks again, Alex.

Thanks Sarah! I always try to create videos I wish that I had, and I wish someone would have given me steps so I knew where to start. So I’m glad you love this approach! That’s something I haven’t tried, but if your sub printer has a copier and you’re printing onto sub paper, I don’t see why that wouldn’t work!

can i print onto white vinyl to make outdoor signs?
@DIYAlex

No, you have to have a special printer for that. But you could sublimate onto a sign blank though!

Alex, can you cut infusible paper like vinyl...example you have a design & want to combine vinyl & infusible ink on same your project. TY in advance... Great tutorial
@DIYAlex
2 жыл бұрын
You can combine them, but since you have to use a high polyester blank like you do with sublimation, I think it would make more sense to use Infusible ink for the whole project. I have several Infusible ink tutorials if you look under my Sublimation Crafts playlist ☺️

I keep hesitating to sublimate. I don't love the limitations of the polyester count and the hacks for other materials seem like a lot of trial and error

the thing i am struggling with is how do you print? when i am going to print in canva its putting all the boxes on the screen on the printed image, nobody shows you how to download and then print your image to correct size for tumbler ive wasted so much paper, image size not being right, and nobody covers this its the only thing im struggling with. x

Download your image from Canva without registration marks to remove the boxes. Then you can print from your default photos app on your computer.

There are several ways you can add designs onto shirts besides sublimation including printable HTV, screen printing, direct to garment printing, etc.

Thank you for this information I was sent over to watch your video by hanks. Maker Mentor as I'm so confused by my sublimation I brought 2 printers one for printing photos etc and one to convert into a sublimation printer. I was giving a ICC profile and was advised to use GIMP or photo shop or affiany because they said it brings the brighter colours out more. Anyway I gave up as app were too confusing for me to use. So my question is can we just print via Google or say amazon photos and prints will be bright etc. Or do we have to use a ICC profile.. I've gave up for the time being and re using infusible inks but any tips would be gladly appreciated TIA

Welcome! Ruth is great! ICC profiles are helpful if your colors look off after printing and pressing them on a sublimation printer. They are not required though. Try printing from your desired program and see how your reds, blues, and greens look. If they look normal after pressing, then the ICC profile is probably something you can let go of for now. If they look funky, then you may want to consider printing from a different program, or giving your ICC profiles another try. You can also do some minor adjustments in your printer's settings.
