Loved your video. I just got my press. Can’t wait to use it!
I remember the grandmas art sweatshirts, ugh! Thanks for sharing with us.
AHA, I knew I wasn't alone!!!
I made one for Christmas with puffy sparkle fabric paint highlights!!
Love you , love HTVRONT supplies & machines as well!
Guess who accidentally bought sublimation decals for cups...and didn't realize it until they arrived. LOL guess who is getting a tumbler heat press!
LOL been there, done that!
i dont know anything about sublimation. but i heard you say sub paper? does it have special ink? special anything? where do i learn about it? not just using it but what it is. thank you
Oh yeah, I can cover that in another video, but for now I'll briefly explain! Basically you need a special printer for sublimation, plus paper that is meant to be heat transferrable as that's basically what sublimation is. The printer densely prints the ink into the paper. If you don't use sublimation paper, it won't activate and transfer the ink to the material when heated. As far as blanks go, they must be special made for sublimation. All of the tumblers and mugs I used are coated with a layer of material that will accept the ink/dye. If you're sublimating apparel or cloth, it has to be 100% polyester. There's sublimation sprays that'll apply a coating to an area of cotton fabric, but I didn't have much success with it.
thank you so much for replying that was great of you, and a video would be awesome. thank you thank you @@fiercekittenz
I have been wondering the pictures and designs you use can you print them out with a circut or do you use any pictures
is this only one for sublimation i dont sublimate but want to do iron on vinyl on mugs
You have no idea, but you have given me so much inspiration… At what temperature and how many seconds did you do the glass tumbler at?
Yay! I do 390 F for 360 seconds, only once.
What made you do the Tumblr at 335° and then for a minute? I do my tumblers at 375 for 75 seconds and I don’t rotate it when I’m using a 20 ounce tumbler like you did in this video. I am new to this so I thought I would ask. I just use what the machine settings said to use. Thanks
I'm just learning in this video, so you're probably in the right and just need to leave it be. The temp and time guidance I got from the HTVRont website for their tumblers, but I've since learned that ghosting is going to happen if you press a second time.
I've ALSO learned that the black ink can stagnate if you don't print for a while :(
my tumbler is super dull color what can i do?
You might not be pressing for long enough OR the printer head could be clogged. I've had both happen to me. Usually it's been not pressing long enough, but then my Epson tank printer needed to have some extra unit swapped out (it discards of extra ink in this "maintenance tank" thing in the back) before black started to look less green.
I use sublimation paper on my shirts but usually not on my mugs/tumblers.. I just use hammer mill paper.. Look it up it works.. I mean it works on fabric but I still usually use sublimation paper :) Also, I just saw someone doing the mugs & they didn't need to rotate the tumbler because even that little gap still sent enough heat over .. I haven't gotten mine yet. Also, HTVront has the worst customer service out of any other company I have ever dealt with ( and I have 10's of thousands of dollars in craft equipment & supplies.. I got their press & I did order their Tumbler press but I stay away from their products because if you have a problem they are REDUNCULOUS as in if they don't send you something they will run you around in circles for a picture of something you don't have I finally gave up & made a vow to TELL EVERY ONE on earth so it doesn't happen to them! Hope it was worth the 10-dollar item they ripped me off of!
I need a printer? To make the cups?
You do if you want to print your own sublimation designs. If you have a friend or a business where you can buy printed designs then you wouldn't need one.
Really like watching your video! So Interesting! Also like HTVRONT! Thanks for your sharing!
Really like watching your videos and really love HTVRONT!
Thank you. Hugs to you.
👍. Thank you. As always, quite interesting. 🙏🏻❤️
awesome vid! Hope you try sublimating fabric too.
Great video! Helped me a lot. Thank you! 😃
It seems the prints for sublimation are much more detailed than anything from cricut vinyl. The finished products are smooth unlike Cricut, correct?
Yep, VERY smooth. I did earrings on stream tonight after posting this. They also turned out really nice and vibrant!
Bring on the three wolf moon grandma shirts
Awesome job I like your work
Does the sublimation graphics show up well on colored mugs?
I don’t know. I’ve only seen white and black ones for sale.
My mother had a computer portrait business in the early 90’s. We went around to fairs/festivals sublimating on metal, mugs, t-shirts, calendars, etc. It is interesting to watch how ‘new’ and popular it is. The colors were as vibrant as the ones you showed in the video.
LOL I remember
the biblically accurate angel Clippy....
omg.
But yes, my Mamaw did the iron on sweaters WITH THE PUFF PAINT "Cross Stitch" decoration
Have you ever did a review on the hd9 janome. I want your view on the the hd9
Oh, no I haven't done that yet! I do loooove my HD9 though. Very good machine! I use it for a lot of the doll sewing. Adding it to my list!
You should try the Glitter tumblers. 🤩🤩🤩
I have!!! They're gorgeous!
We bought a standard convection oven and it was almost $100 cheaper and gives better results
I've heard that convection ovens and toaster ovens can work well! I honestly am so new to sublimation that I wouldn't know for sure :( I do like how little space this press takes up though. They want to send me one for hats and I'm droooling at the possibility of being able to do leather/leatherette patches.
I have a chart that has exact sizes for each of the 3 tumbler sizes that I make and each coffee mug style. I take the image into inkscape and size it exactly to what I need and then cut it. No ghosting and the seams match up perfectly.
I just ordered one. I have one of the "jaws of life😂" machines that works perfectly but I have Lupus and sometimes my hands ache so I'm thinking this will help a lot. Thanks for a great video!
Will you be selling the DND tumbler??
I can if you want it! I hadn't planned on listing anything just yet.
@@fiercekittenz yes, but i can wait until you are ready to list. No pressure
