Can this process be used for htv or iron on vinyl for t-shirts? Just getting into sublimation, but don't like that you can only sub on white polyester. Will try your process on the Cricut.

Thank you for the video. Since you mentioned that you are horrible at placing vinyl, try the wet method. Put water and a drop of dish detergent in a spray bottle. Spray your substrate before applying the vinyl and that will allow you to be able to move your vinyl around until you get it in the perfect spot.Then squeegee the excess water out and let dry. It will be stuck whereever you placed it once dry.

Hi all! I have the Cricut Explorer and the Easy Press 2. I am trying to make different designs with print and cut feature on the cricut. I have seen several videos out there.

@CorinneBlackstone

3 жыл бұрын

You are talking about two completely different things. Sublimation needs to be done with sublimation ink and printer plus sublimation paper and a polyester coated blank or material. Print then cut can be done with an inkjet printer and printable products. You MUST have a sublimation printer to do sublimation designs. This is a process where the ink is heated into a gas and then it dyes the fabric or coating of the blank. Using inkjet means you print onto a product that is made to be printed on and then place it ontop of the blank.
