That’s awesome! Does any of the texture of the faux leather come through the HTV or does the HTV make it totally smooth?

It’s clear vinyl specifically for sublimation. The packaging is shown in the video and linked in the description.
Hi ! What was your temp settings for the sublimation print itself?
@Michellespartyplanit
Жыл бұрын
Temp was still 395
Your faux leather looks like it is still soft and pliable after sublimating, mine seems to stiffen up some and curl at the edges? Any idea what I am doing wrong? I use htvront sub vinyl and press for 15-20 seconds on like 380 then heat press sub design on 380 for 50 seconds

May depend on the faux leather you’re using
Hello. I’ve been trialing sub on faux leather with different processes. That is working but they always seem to press with some sort of a blur or daze. Any thoughts or suggestions?! Thanks so much!! ❤️🥰❤️

Also unsure if they look that way because they're watercolor prints. Or, if that shouldn't matter at all. I'd be happy to provide you pictures of what I'm talking about - if you have any way of doing that. Thanks so much!
Wow, magic. I hope the printer itself isn't toooo expensive.

So to be clear . . . you press a clear vinyl onto the faux leather then you press the sublimation image onto that vinyl. You're not pressing directly onto the faux vinyl?

You make it look so easy. My carrier is not easy to peel off and feels tacky or sticky. Is that right? And blisters underneath so when i sublimate on top it looks like cracks :(

Ok, stupid question...you say in your video to put the HVT on the smooth side of the leather. So does that mean it goes on the back and then the sublimation paper goes on the "bumpy" side or do the HTV and sublimation go on the "bumpy" side?
