Yes, but this would take some testing since the blocks are usually quite thick. You will probably need to mirror the graphic and apply from the top and finding the correct heat/time combo will require some experimenting. Also, the mass of the glass block will act like big heat sink, so getting the surface up to temp, without deforming the vinyl will take some testing. Sounds like enough of a challenge that I may try this someday!

Hi Roger! Great video! thank you! It would appear that you press with the glass closest to the top of the press and the design is underneath it. I have a Cricut auto press and I have to have the a-sub paper closest to the top heat plate, which would be the reverse of your heat press. I wonder if this is why mine aren’t turning out? Unfortunately I can’t post a picture.

All of my heat presses have the heat element on the top. This works best with the paper on the bottom and glass on top. You can also see the image after pressing as soon as you open the press. If it should need more time, then just press again for a bit, then check again.

Thank for these videos, they are awesome. I have one question however. My photos are sublimating rather dull and I may need an ICC profile to allow the printer to operate as a sublimation printer and not as an inkjet printer. I'm using Hiipoo ink and A-sub paper but the end result just isn't as vivid as your printouts. I have the printer set on high quality, etc. and followed your directions. Any thoughts on what I can do to improve the end result? Thanks. Looking forward to more videos.
