I never would have guessed that you could sublimate onto the laminating sheets like that. This just opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Thank you. LSDPrintShop.com
Woke up and though, YAY ITS FRIDAY WITH KIM AND GARRETT! Now I want to jump into the sublimation game! Your sign today speaks to me on the deepest level
Lol, I literally have a printer, supplies and heat press sitting in my craft room…. Just waiting for me to open it up and use it! Your video has perfect timing!!
I have that same printer and I bought sublimation ink. Just waiting to open everything up. Did you have to use any special settings on the printer for sublimation?
Kim and Garrett love the energy you two bring! Thanks so much for sharing and the tips with the thermal laminating pouches. Your video really helped me pick out the right printer for the job without breaking the bank. Thanks and look forward to view future and past projects :)
You could also use liquid polyester for wood, it comes as a white paint, it dries very quickly and after sublimating the colors look more vivid and bright
@@KimandGarrettmakeit www.ebay.com/itm/140614041937?hash=item20bd400151:g:GfsAAOSwNfhgrV6Z I have been buying from them for several years, they have 3 types of liquid polyester, 1. polygloss (for any hard and white surface, if the substrate is white you only put a layer of this liquid but if it is not, you must first paint white and put it on a layer of polygloss and sublimate) it looks beautiful, 2. polywhite (for hard substrates it is already white so you should not paint anything, just put a layer on it and that's it) 3. Polycotton. (You can spray this liquid on cotton fabrics, let dry and sublimate. You guys will make beauties with this. Thank you very much for your videos, i really love it.
Kim and Garrett, Great ideas, I just reconverted my Epson 4800 printer. I had no problem doing it, and it worked great. My problem is that I bought two of the same model, using the same ink refills. So I labeled them #1, and #2. I labeled the ink for them. BUT, I grabbed the wrong ink which was the regular ink and installed it in my cyan of the sublimation. My question is how do I clean the cyan refiller so that I can reinstall the proper sublimation cyan ink in that one. OR am I out a printer? Please help me and give me some ideas. Thank you. Wendy
I just purchased everything to get started and found your channel while still doing research on different techniques. (the Glowforge....drool...maybe one day)
Such an entertaining and VERY useful tutorial! Exactly what I needed since receiving my new Epson printer today for Christmas! Thank you so much! I'm a new subscriber.
Hi Kim and Garrett - Great video. I wasn't familiar with this technique, but I do find it very interesting and has great potential. The finished sign looks fabulous. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
OMG how stupid I am..... I wish I would have seen your tip on just changing the caps - I dumped ink into other containers, rinsed and dried bottles and then added sublimation ink to them LOL. Great tip guys! I am really enjoying this channel - just discovered it yesterday.
I loved all of it! I learned a new trick from you guys with the laminating sheets! Your project turned out so great! I have the same printer, but it's used as a regular printer and I love it. For my sublimation printer I got an Epson wf-3540 from FB marketplace for $75 and "converted" it through ink-X-Pro. The guy who sells the inks is super helpful. Also...it's a little known secret that you don't ALWAYS need sublimation paper. I have used regular copy paper a few times ;).
@@claudiayourwinegalaz7025 When I changed my Epson 3150 to sublimation ink, I went through a company called inkxpro. Very helpful in choosing the inks I needed. I looked on their website and was able to determine what kind of printer would work simply by looking at the different ink systems they offered and their compatible printers. It sounds confusing, but once you are on the website it should make more sense.
For the epson 2760 sublimation with printers Jack ink…. What should my color settings be? Brightness, contrast, saturation, cyan, magenta, yellow????? My red is coming out a bit orange and my brown for footballs are a light brown golden. Please help! Thank you so much. You guys bring so much energy!!!!!
Pretty genius Garrett. You soooo smart 🤯🤯🤯. Love your message board. This is exactly what I am currently struggling with. I'm going to blame you two...😆 🤣 😂 I just need to figure out WHERE to put all the kits, etc. I've purchased. Not a bad problem to have in my opinion. Just need to finish them to decorate or sell. See you Sunday.
Did you change the printer default settings? I also converted my Epson 2720 for sublimating, the prints came out ok. I then watched a post on RUclips from Quick SPI on how to change the printer settings for sublimation. Noticeable difference in the quality of printing.
I'm just starting sublimation and biught a course video. I'm wondering why you didn't have to change your printer settings? My colors are not as vibrant on the timbers I just did and can't figure out how to follow along with course to update as the course is a couple of years old and his screens don't look the same. Do you have a current video on updating printer settings? Thanks, Lelah
i already have the epson ET 2670 printer i found out about the sublimation a day late and a dollar short so now i have to find a way to take the ink out and put my sublimation ink into the printer.
I was just looking at Epson printers for sublimation. Any reason you didn't go with the large format Epson ET 15000? (or similar) It seems like being able to print 13x19 sublimation paper would go hand in hand with glowforge bed size. (or some of the bigger prints you can make on the pro) I really like that you keep the mistakes/snafus in the video it helps the rest of us learn what not to do.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This video was very helpful and fun as usual. Love sublimating the letters with patterns. The ideas are endless are endless on how to use this method. Can you use wood letters from Michaels or Joanns or does it need to be mdf? Could you laminate another sheet over the pattern to seal it for using outside? I will be trying this method soon. Love watching your videos very much. I retire in 21 days and I'm looking forward to having the time to watch, learn, make and enjoy some of your projects! With much respect, TP
Hi guys just found your channel I’m just about to dabble in sublimation so I have been watching a lot of your videos would the laminate pouches work on other things like ceramic coasters that aren’t suitable for sublimation? Many thanks for your help
You guys read my mind. I was just thinking last week that I hope you would do something with sublimation. I bought my printer about two months ago and only did one project. Will this be a kit in your shop?
Cleaning?? What who cleans lol. This is such a great video. I’ve been curious. My understanding is that the ink is waterproof but sensitive to UV exposure which will cause it to fade faster. There are a few items you can coat them with to reduce that issue.
Garrett made a mess! Haha! So I heard you should not squeeze the ink bottles but I love the bottle top hack, is there a reason why you didn’t just skip the funnel tip and pour the ink straight from the bottle?
Much easier to get online inexpensive empty Epson printer bottles, pour all inks in individually and use to fill the printer rather than jury-rig other ink bottle tops and squeezing bottles with chances of messes. Plus, later on you can refill when low.
Nope, but we were just talking in the last couple of videos how we haven't been able to make anything successful with those tiles and the only thing left is the laminating sheets on them. ;)
Love this, thanks for showing how easy it is to set up a sublimation printer! I’ve been watching everything I can to see if this is something I want to get my hands into. You made it look really easy, thanks again. I haven’t tried Starbond glue yet, but have seen other YT’ers use it. Did you know they have a spray accelerator? I think it would be Garrett’s best friend! Also I believe they have a bottle with a small tip applicator for the small wood piece you would use on some of your cute glow forge designs.
could you put the laminate on the board before you cut it out on the laser to save the step of cutting it out with a knife. or will the laser rune the laminate
I am considering getting started with sublimation. I have some questions. My computer is not blue tooth and this printer says it is wireless. Does it give the option of connecting it to the printer without it being used as wireless, and did you havae to treat your MDF pieces with something to make it sublimation friendly?
I wonder if you used acrylic paint if the sublimation ink would adhere to that... Polyester and acrylic are both essentially plastic so it'd be worth a try!
I have a question I hope you can comment back ! What is a good way to clean the heat press mat??? I saw you can’t throw it in the washer and was trying to find other ways but I haven’t yet
Great video if I were into selling projects more and could come up with sellable items I would look into sublimation BTW no link for giveaway and that giveaway sounds awesome thanks

AFTER SEEING YOUR VIDEO TODAY i went out and bought a espon 2760 today and went online to amazon for ink and paper.
Just in time for this conversion not so conversion. I was searching on this idea and bam I got it. Thanks guys. Now to save some 💰.
Beautiful Welcome Sign!! Thank for sharing your tips for sublimating on non sublimation material!!
Thank you so much!!
You could also use liquid polyester for wood, it comes as a white paint, it dries very quickly and after sublimating the colors look more vivid and bright
Oh yeah! We are going to try that. Where would you get liquid polyester? Thanks!

Great show guys! If you are concerned about the outdoors with the sublimation you can spray a Spars Urethane over it. Should hold up good.

Aw thank you Lois!! You're too sweet
1 questions here. #1 if my epson printer ink tanks have ink in them already, how do I empty that to use Sublimation ink?
Did you change the printer default settings? I also converted my Epson 2720 for sublimating, the prints came out ok.
I then watched a post on RUclips from Quick SPI on how to change the printer settings for sublimation.
Noticeable difference in the quality of printing.
No, we'd love for you to share what you found!
So glad you all started doing sublimation. Can't wait for you to do some sublimation on ornaments this Christmas.

That was so funny! “That’s the difference between you and me Kim”
lolol he cracks me up
does the 2760 have to hooked up to the computer to set it up. i am wanting to use it as wireless printer for sublimation
That's awesome and fun looking project.
i already have the epson ET 2670 printer i found out about the sublimation a day late and a dollar short so now i have to find a way to take the ink out and put my sublimation ink into the printer.
Great video, fabulous project❣️
When it’s time to refill the Espon is it anything special you have to do? Or do u just add some more ink to the color when it gets low

Can you turn any model Epson printer into sublimation printer? Or do I need this specific one?
There are conversion kits for certain printers, but to do what we did you'll need any "ecotank" epson printer.

We had luck using some Sublimation Coating Spray for Cotton. amzn.to/3J8Cvyo. Spray it on, dry it, spray it, dry it and then sublimate it.
