Thank you, that helped
I'm using 100% polyester (light grey t-shirt), with a black design (it's my first attempt). I printed my design using almost the exact same printer you used in this demo, the same paper setting and mirrored the image. The print came out really well. I then set the press up to 400°F, and set the timer for 45 seconds. I kept the press pillow under the shirt, and placed paper inside the shirt to prevent the dye from printing to the back of the shirt, and then placed paper on top of the sublimation paper before pressing. After 45 seconds nothing printed. I tried 3 times (printing a fresh design 3 times) and each time all I ended up with was a warm and blank t-shirt.
is this regular print then cut or sublimation? also what paper did you use
Love it👍
This is the best tutorial ever. Thank You. 😍
This was very informative. Thanks
Thank you, this is a fantastic tutorial!!
OMG! I wish I could like this video 1000 times over!! Thank you so much!
I have Aileen’s clear tack it glue can I use that instead of over and over?
I haven’t tried that glue so I’m not sure! Sorry! Give it a try!
@@DIYAlex it’s ok I brought over and over 😁
I went on to Amazon through the link and got the blade 4 engraving on the Cricut Explore Air 2 and it is engraving but ripping through the acrylic from letter to letter, a drag line. And yes I'm using acrylic blanks that are 2 mm
It’s likely an issue with the file or font that you’re using. There may be a stray node somewhere making the design funky. The tool only goes where Design Space sends it, so it’s an issue with your file or Design Space, not the engraving tool.
It can take a bit longer than 1 to 2 minutes so if it's sticky, just put it under the light longer.
Remember that measuring is ither by volume or weight, so read your epoxy directions before mixing.
I'm planning a onesies creation station at a baby shower. I'll definitely tag you in the pics.
I would love to see them!
your video is great! I have watched numerous videos on ink transfer sheets but the never answered mu questions. But yours did!!! Thank-you!!! I now know what I was doing wrong
I’m so glad it answered your questions!
Very helpful, I’ve never done print and cut! Why inkjet instead of laser jet?
How did you get the one spot off without it ruining the other part of your shirt? Also, where did you get your transfer tape? Thanks for the helpful video!!
Can you be my friend?
U are my biggest fan ❤❤

That background music or noise, makes this video unwatchable.
When ironing the box texture do come off. Why?
It gets overheated and it melts the texture off of some boxes.
Thanks for the tutorial would you have any tutorial's on branding and how to decide your colors and fonts
Can hats that have the plastic support in the front be used for vinyl?
Quick question: Why is it necessary to print on ink jet printers only. Is that because you don't have a laser printer? I realize some products may not work with a laser, but that comes down to the importance of reading the product specifications, like might melt in a laser printer.
It’s just based on the product compatibility. Most are compatible with inkjet, but there are plenty of laser compatible options too. I was mostly speaking for myself when I said it has to be inkjet, but I’ve gotten lots of corrections about laser printers in the comments ☺️.
I bet it would turn out better if you put the screen against a wall and printed push rather than pull . You would be able to use two hands on the squeegee. And more pressure if needed. This level of diy kind of gives me a head ache.. haha
If I put it against the wall I would still have to hold it so I’m not sure how that would help. I get that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but no one is making you watch or comment on videos you don’t like.
I've been trying to get help because apparently I'm doing it wrong. My jdiction device has 3 settings- 60, 90, 150 seconds. Even at the lowest setting, the dye I add shrinks up and deforms the resin slightly. And when I demold, there is a sticky mess. Using high viscosity.
Thank you, your help and advice saved my et-4760 !!

my glass can did not take any of the color at all I have used htv ront sublimation paper ans a sub sublimation paper cosmo ink sublimation i'm using the new go 2 craft mug press that's all automatic it does all the work for you the prints of the desigh looks fabulous when they are printed out but when i press no color transfers to the glass is there something i'm missing please help
It sounds like your auto mug press isn’t using settings that are allowing an ink transfer, or you’re not using a sublimation glass can blank. I would start with troubleshooting both of those!
I wish you had weeded the sticker sheet so we could see them.
Thank you you gave me much better understanding the way things work for me. I highly appreciate it. Thank you.

Yes that's a great point too! The outside of the Infusible Ink could be used on another design!
I'm trying to use it on mugs but I only have a veveo 5 in 1 heat press and I don't know how to use the mug press and what temperatures to use and how long. And I can't find it anywhere 😢
