Sublimation items also are either at least 65% polyester (clothing items) or have a polymer coating. There are sprays for both hard items and fabric (if they are less than 60% polyester)
Love this video thank you I just git tile and hoped I could do this wondering about what kind of plastic I can cut on my maker so I can make cake toppers
With the tiles you should do the full time the first time and you have to let it cool off almost all the way to room temp. Because you want the gas to seep into the tile and then back to solid again before you take the transfer off.
also would it be possible if you could try to refill a pen with sublimation ink (from a refill bottle) and use it to draw on coasters and sublimate under heat?
I seen a response that there are sprays for the non cricut ceramic to give them a coating to get the ink to transfer. Can you provide the name or where to find those sprays? Thanks
So I am trying to do the regular ceramic 4x4 inch tiles as you did in the video with the infusible inks. Making coasters. Have you tried this polycrylic on tiles to help bring the transfer onto the tile? Thanks
@@beckylewis9364 I haven’t tried it but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. The tiles work but they don’t transfer as vibrantly. Give it a shot is what I’d do!
hi there i was wondering i made a coaster using infusible ink would i be able to pour resin on top of it to give it a shine? or would the infusibile ink smudge?
The ceramic tiles need a polyester coating. The poly is what the infusible ink adheres to. :)
Thank you!

Basically anything under 2mm thick :)

Hmmmm interesting thought there. I’ll do some searching!
So I you don't have butcher paper what can you use instead ?
You can use parchment paper or Kraft paper, I haven't had luck with much more than those.

I use polycrylic brush on or spray for hard items and I mix 2TBS with 7 ounces of water into an empty spray bottle for cotton and mostly cotton blends
Yes! I can find it for you in a bit and send you a direct link for it if you’d like!
Yep, that’s it! Lol

As long as it’s a true infusible ink compatible blank it wouldn’t smudge.
Aren't you supposed to leave it for 240 seconds at the 10th of 380
From what I read it depends on the press and tiles. I haven’t tried again since I posted this but I might need to now and up the time!
All I know is that with the cricut heat press ,it stays on project for 240 seconds
You mean the press time is 240 seconds?
Yes, 400° for 240 seconds
Mine got burnt when I did it for that long :(. I put a poly coating on it and thought that was the reason why
I left it on 30 mins. didn't touch anything
Did it work for you?
