    I had received my Epson printer about 6 months ago. Filled the tanks w Sublimation ink then fumbled trying to figure out how to start. Last week started. Many mistakes then got a few good items, now the quality of the prints are faded. All sublimation groups say, “Jenn!”. I’m struggling and wanting to learn and have been binge watching your videos. You’re so sweet, so kind and teach so well. Thank you for being you. A true blessing. ❤

    I’m watching this almost a year after you uploaded this and I just want to say thank you. Not just for this video, but I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched that have helped me not only make an informed decision on certain things but to also feel confident enough to start the process. From finding the right type of copier to the paper and ink and setting up the printer. Your videos are definitely a godsend for me and I’m sure everyone else that has encountered them. Thank you so much!

    I'm taking the leap into sublimation. I've only had my Cricut for less than a month! I bought the Joy to try it out and found your channel when trying to learn. You got me so motivated that I can do it that I went and bought the Cricut Maker 3! Then I found your playlist for sublimation and now I am jumping into doing both! Love your videos. They are so straightforward and I love how you share your mistakes and even leave your mess ups in your videos, makes me not feel so silly when I do! I've already made 6 mugs with Vinyl and bought some Bo-Bo Balloons from your video with the flowers. I'm doing those for Mother's Day! I cannot wait to see what else you have on your channel! They are so informational and easy to follow.

    Mission Accomplished! I too feared infamous sublimation printer conversion! It sounded soooo complicated, mathematical & surgical! Once I got past the “fear” (it took 2 years), it wasn’t so scary. It was actually really easy. I’m actually happy that the 7720 was sold our during 2020 so I had to wait long enough for tank systems to replenish. Once I got started, my first order PAID for all of my equipment!

    Catching up today, didn't make it home it time yesterday to view live. To be fair, I watch your videos several times before I try something new. I purchased a Sawgrass 500 after watching your video comparing printers a few times. I have had the pressure mark outline on soft blankets using the easy press with too much pressure. I used the Cricut sublimation shirts and one cotton shirt with glow in the dark HTV under the sublimation successfully. I have printed on the wrong side of the paper using the TruePix paper that came with the Sawgrass printer. I have made mugs with the Cricut mug press using infusible ink sheets and prints from my printer without mistakes I can remember. Have not tried the tumblers, but I am listening to all of your tips. Mirroring, oh yes I have forgotten that and have done it in design space, then the Sawgrass mirrored again. I now have your Sublimation Cookbook, which is SO helpful and gives me more courage to try new things. Thank you for spending so much of your time to help all of us with projects. Your ideas and designs are amazing and I love that you share them with us.

    Thank you for your videos! I always learn so much from them. My question is in regards to sublimating Cricut mugs with a design printed on Rikoh sublimation paper, printed from my Sawgrass SG500. I find that every design which I've created and printed and used my Cricut mug press to transfer, has a faded appearance. However, when I use sublimation ink sheets for designs to be transferred onto Cricut mugs using the Cricut mug press, they show beautiful and vibrant colours. My question: should I shorten the time that I keep the mug in the press for my Sawgrass designs? My thoughts were that maybe there is too much heat being applied for too long a period of time and so the design that was transferred is actually being faded. Suggestions?

  • @JenniferMaker

    @JenniferMaker

    Жыл бұрын

    Because sublimation ink is heat activated and the colors do not appear vibrant until you press them, whereas the inkjet ink does not work the same way. Still, the colors can appear different even when pressed -- different ink, different color profiles will give you different colors. You would need to use or create a different color profile for your sublimation ink if you wanted to attempt to match them exactly, which sounds like way more work than it is worth. :)

    Yeah, in my experience it is really finicky. I'm not a huge fan of it, for many reasons, and that's one. The powder sticks to any ink, so if you have bits of ink -- or other stuff the powder can stick to -- you get dots and a general mess.

    If you set up your ECO tank Epson printer with the sublimation ink, can you use it to print normal word and excel documents on regular copy paper. (Reason - It would be rather expensive to have a dedicated printer for sublimation and a second one for regular office use.) Thank you. Second part of this question: If I already put the regular ink in my Tanks, Can I change to Sublimation ink at a later date?

    No, you will need a dedicated printer for sublimation unfortunately. And for your second question, it can be done, however I have not done that so not sure how involved or problematic that would be. The best place to ask would be in my Sublimation FB Group, facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy

    I am working on the Faux Leather Journals like the one you made the subliflower journal with. I made one as well and it turned out great now I made my own design the design printed out perfect (Epson ecotank coverrted with Hiipoo ink and A-sub 125 paper) but when i pressed it (traditional press) at 350 deg for 60 seconds it has a green tint to it (suppose to be more pale pink. any suggestion for what might be happening here?

    Very informative video thank so much for sharing, I have mistakes 1. I loaded Epason printer with the ink came with it first mistake 😅 2. I don’t know why shirts turned yellow even though I use heat sheet on top of the sublimation paper, is it because it’s 100% cotton? 3. I use DTF transfer paper and still it doesn’t transfer the colors right I now know it’s because of the ink😅 4. What is the setting for the printer please as some people say use glossy what do u recommend?

    We have all the steps listed in the tutorial on our blog, the link is in the description above. The yellowing can happen if the heat it too high or the press time is to long. Try throwing in a tbsp of hydrogen peroxide in with the shirt in the laundry. It should help to remove the yellow mark. 😊🌻

    The HTV lasts about as long as any other HTV on a shirt, so no where near as long as sublimation. But if you apply it right and wash it with care, it should last at least 50 washes (give or take). By the way, loved the trailer video on your channel.
