I've learned a lot with this video. So very much to learn. My husband was inspired his self by this video. He wanted me to see if I could go to an actual class and do these projects...lol! I thought of how inspiring he was by watching this video with me. Thank you Jennifer for making these video's. It's helped me so so very much!
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of information about all the things. I'm new to all of this, trying to make time in my life for a hobby and don't have time to learn by making multiple mistakes. I'm making my way through every single one of your videos. You are the voice I go to when searching for an answer. THANK YOU for the content you are providing!
You are so welcome! 😃❤️
You are such a GREAT teacher! You are my go to.. I learn so much from you, and about so many things! Thank you Jennifer! 😊
Wow, thank you!
Jennifer I love you and your videos. I have saved so many to watch later but am just now starting to have time to watch them from beginning to end while taking notes. I learned so much from this video. I have decided that you will be that person whom I will primarily follow for my projects. You videos are so informative and user friendly. I had already subscribed to your channel but just hit the notification bell so I can stay on top of upcoming classes and new projects. Thank you so much!!
Wow! Welcome! Thanks so much! 😃❤️
Wow! This was such a good tutorial on sublimation. I took tons of notes. Love the idea about keeping a notebook to log what works, etc.😊
Glad it was helpful! 😊🌻
I have learned SO much from you the past couple of years!🎉
I'm so happy to help! 😊🌻
This was really great! Even though I can't sublimate right now I learned a lot for when I can. The two tips that really help are do not use Teflon sheets when sublimating and only use the blue heat tape for sublimation.
Thank you very much!
Thank You for showing mistakes! It makes me feel better about what I’m doing 😊
You are so welcome! I make them all the time so you don't have to! 😂
Thank you, Jennifer! you always an inspiration in my crafting world. God bless!
Thanks Jennifer. Looking forward to the weekend. Didn’t realize there was a difference between butcher paper and parchment paper in project results.
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I have just found your wonderful Videos. I hate I missed your maker academy event. I am brand NEW with sublimation. Just purchased printer and heat press. Looking forward to creating new items. Thanks I have learned so much from you already.
When I first started, I printed “coloring book” pages on my Cricut then colored them in! Worked great. There are also sublimation paint that also works great!
Colored in with Sub pens

excited to learn more about this!
Awesome!
So helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 😊🌻
I can attest to the fact Epson Ecotanks MUST be printed on every 3 days or you end up with clogged heads; then you have to buy a cleaning kit, disassemble you printer, and use a syringe and rubber tubing to meticulously clean each head.
You could be very right on this. We run it 2'xs a week at the studio.
Whats happens if u go on holiday
@@mmljzta6 Get someone to babysit it i guess 😅. I will never buy anything Epson again due to this problem
Thanks Jennifer for sharing so much tips and tricks! I have learned a ton in a short time frame!
I have my ticket. Can’t wait!
YAY! So happy you'll be joining us! 😊🌻

I've just been online shopping for the pens, and it looks like they dry out very quickly, before even being used. Have you had this problem, and if not, how did you store them, so they wouldn't dry out? I'm just starting this video, so I will probably have more questions, as I go along. I REALLY appreciate all the things you have taught me, so far.
Here is a tutorial on storing pens. jennifermaker.com/cricut-writing-tutorial-tips-tricks-fonts/ jennifermaker.com/cricut-infusible-ink/
This video is very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
I love you videos... very helpful... I wish I can start doing sublimation but I don't have a printer and infusible ink... because I am from Grenada so it's difficult to get stuff I must order them but they are very expensive..hope on day I can be bless with a gift... Keep up the videos I will watch your videos until I end with different sublimation printer, and heat press
Thank you! You do not need a sublimation printer to use infusible ink. jennifermaker.com/cricut-infusible-ink/
Great video! Thanks for all the tips
Glad it was helpful!
I just made my first shirt,
I was so happy with it
I did learn about making sure your pattern fit
But with your help
I think I did pretty good
I was so scared to try
Infusible ink
Much cheaper than printer
Wonderful! I'm so glad you tried it! Way to go! 💕
I have my ticket and am so looking forward to it
Wonderful! 😃
Great info. God bless you. I’m a veery new beginner. Like haven’t done anything yet
You can do it!

Hello from Murfreesboro, TN right outside of Nashville!
Hello there!
I’m ready!
Yay!
You are amazing!! Thank you so much!!
Happy to help!
Good evening, Jennifer in your tutorial I heard you mention adding polyester to a mug? Ca you add a coating of polyester to your mugs for sublimation?
Not for a mug, no, I'm sorry
Good afternoon from Palm Desert, Ca
Hello there! 😊🌻
Thank you so much for doing this
My pleasure!
Thanks so much for the great info
My pleasure!
Yesterday at Sam's just purchased Epson ecotank ET 2850 for $199.00 on sale!
Yay! 💗
Do it! See you from Spain❤
Awesome!
I am having the hardest time sublimating on Libby glass jars. They are so faint.
I have a press and use a sawgrass500. 😢. Love your channel BTW!!!!❤
Thank you! jennifermaker.com/sublimating-on-glass/
hello from buffalo new york
Hello there!
Hi from Minnesota
Hello! Welcome! 😊🌻
I wish someone would have told me to run a print every couple of days so the print heads don’t dry out and clog. 😡
Good to know.
I've never done this, and mine have not dried out. I've gone months without using my Epson ET-1500. I guess I have been lucky
@beccajune I was going to say the same but I think it may depends on the ink brands. I have 2 sub printers. 1 is perfectly fine when not used for awhile. The 2nd printer I got to try out another company's ink, it clogs up after not using it for a few days.
I literally just went through this in the last two days! It's very frustrating!
What happens? Can you fix it??
Haven't even opend my new Cricut Maker. Haven't a clue where to start.
Start at CricutKickoff.com 😊🌻
@@JenniferMaker thank you! Your name was recommended to me from our library.
you are amazing! thank you
Thanks so much!
Hi, from Florida
Hello there! 😊🌻
Hi from Delaware❤
Welcome!! 😊🌻
thank you
My pleasure!
Jennifer if I buy the Epson sublimation printer can I use it for everyday printing too or can I not use it for both . Also I had bought the lifetime membership for maker academy but it isn't coming up in my list of everything I bought from you
Once you turn it into a sublimation printer it is only used for that. Please send an email to my team at vip@jennifermaker.com for help with Maker Academy. It should be in your teachable account.
Just got my ticket!
Yay! 😃
Great Tutorials. 💜💜💜AuntieEllen
Thank you! Cheers!
The poster board i have is a large trifold. I'm not sure what size laminate comes in but is it possible to put several sheets of laminate on either a poster board or foam board and then sublimate?
I'm not sure, we haven't tried that. 😊🌻
Hello dear Jennifer, what we can do part of design with white color not change to yellow . Thank you
Check to ensure that your press isn't too hot. If the fabric scorches, use a few tbsp of hydrogen peroxide in the laundry, it should remove the yellow 😊🌻
IM LOOKING TO BUY ONE

Excellent video! Thank you! Do ICC profiles work on printing from all programs?
An ICC printer profile is specific to one certain printer, one type of paper, one inkset and, even, to one print resolution and media setting.
Do you recommend sublimation spray for prepping the fabric before transferring and If so at which point do you add it , before or after prepping the fabric?
Sublimation spray is only for sublimating on cotton. You would need to follow the instructions for your specifc spray🥰
You are awesome!
You too!!
Can I use untreated unbleached brown butcher paper? Love your videos!
It should be white and unwaxed. You can use kraft paper.
You are awesome ❤
😊 ❤️
Do you sublimate on cotton as well?
Cotton doesn't bond permanently with Sublimation ink. You can sublimate onto certain types of vinyl and then put that onto cotton. I have a tutorial on it here-jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-on-cotton/ 🥰
Thanks for doing a planning event so I could see examples of what we are making. I am just starting. I am excited
Have fun!
a local store is selling t-shirts made with recycled plastic can you sublimate on them thanks Jennifer for your valuable lessons
I have not tried that. It is worth a try!
Hi Jennifer, thank you for your video. Can I use a sublimation printer for other projects like printing stickers or decals?
You can print on sublimation paper and sublimate it on sublimation sticker paper.
I love all your information, I'm wondering....I always put butcher paper over my sublimation design, is it ok to have a teflon sheet on the upper heat panel as well, or is it best not to? I currently have a teflon sheet on mine and didn't have a problem with the shirt I created. Trying to avoid any future issies.
If it works I say use it.
I have a WF-7720. It was very simple to convert to sublimation. But I do want an ecotank. I hear those are better.
The do a good job!🥰
The blue I'm printing today is purple but my printer is low on ink, is it that or is it my settings on my press?
That may be a problem. Here is a blog post for you. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems/
In Australia looking forward to weekend but how does it work as I can't watch live as middle of night for me?

I kept forgetting to mirror the image. I have since set the printer to always mirror the image.
It is an easy thing to forget to do.
Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for all the information- lifesaver! But please could I ask - how do I make the colours vibrant/pop? I'm doing this onto a white t-shirt. Thank you 😊 x
Here is a tutorial that may help. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems/
Jennifer I am not sure when this video was done I am just starting and would like to know more about sublimation printing. Could you help me.
There are a number of blog posts on sublimation. Here is a guide for you. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-for-beginners/
? If you print a design on the sub paper. But don’t get around to using it right away
How long will it be good to use ie: few hours. , few days. A month or indefinitely?
indefinitely as long as it stays dust free and away from heat/light🥰
@@JenniferMaker thank you
Hi Jennifer, I am really struggling to get good quality colour with my Sawgrass SG500. I have tried all sorts of things but can't seem to figure out the issue. I have read on lots of forums that the image DPI needs to be 300 but I notice that the sublimation designs in your library are only 96 DPI - My question is, does the DPI of the images make a difference? Thank you
Did you check out our ICC profiles? 😊🌻
@@JenniferMaker Thanks so much for your reply - No I didn't! I don't know how to do this!!
I have been using heat, transfer clear vinyl on cotton shirts, and sublimating over that. They turn out beautiful, but they start to bleed after washing them. Any suggestions? Is there any sort of spray to seal it in before washing?
My suggestion would be to wash cold and hang to dry. 😊🌻
Can you sublimate an image onto posterboard without using laminate?
The posterboard would need to have some type of polyester coating to take the sublimation.
@@JenniferMaker Great. Thank you so much. Your videos are amazing. I love how easy it is to follow your instructions :)
Hi Jennifer, I was wondering when talking about waste, if your ink is due to expire can you print lots of prints and use them at a later date or must you print and use straight away
yes you can just keep them dust free until you are ready to press them🥰
WOW
Hi I just bought a ET-2800 I want to do sublimation ink I still haven't done it all I need is to put in the sublimation ink but i'm kind of scare to do it
You can do it!🥰
Hi, I am just a crafter. Advice please.
what would you suggest for a wide format printer? Not workforce.
Also, wide cutter? I already have a Cricut Maker 3. I don't like to do the connection for bigger image. It looks bad on press.
I hope you would emphasize to press on bigger image at Maker Academy weekend please .thanks
I have not tested any other printer besides these. jennifermaker.com/best-sublimation-printer/
