Finally, An Easy Way To Sublimation Letters With Lamination Film - Game Changer!

- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Sublimation has opened up a new craft medium for me, and I found a game-changer. Lamination film opens up my new world even bigger. One of the downfalls to sublimation is the need to have sublimation blanks on hand. Now, I have found some great supplies, but lamination film allows me to create my sublimation blanks. I want to share with you how I use lamination film on MDF wood and create beautiful things!

Thank you for sharing! I love it
Love it!!! I was looking for a straight to the point tutorial on how to make these letters and I found it. Great job! They came out really nice.
Thanks!
Nice one, Thanks.
Thank you for sharing! Cute and very vibrant image.
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing this! I was using the Laminate sheets. Not knowing there is different thicknesses. I got some film What A Game Changer!! Thank You
So glad it worked for you!!!
Your project turned out so beautiful!
Thank you so much for the video. It was simple and straight to the point. New Subscriber here❤

Thanks for the tutorial. I purchased the laminating 1.5 film, wasn’t sure what temperature to use. I used a Cricut heat press @ 400 for 15 seconds & it completely melted the film off my canvas.
I used my heat press at 400 degrees for 10 seconds. I made sure to cover the laminatation paper with parchment paper or butcher paper. Then I applied the design that was printed on my sublimation paper. Here is my blog post that might also help: funstuffcrafts.com/2021/02/18/lamination-film-is-a-sublimation-game-changer/
I had the same problem (only difference is I have a clam shell heat press). When I finally got it to be somewhat decent looking with minimal melting - I pressed my sub image and it was very splotchy, it appeared the film just melted away and the ink didn't transfer in those spots. I've had much better luck with the 3mil thickness that come as pouches. I'm going to try to find that in a roll and try to figure out what i can do with the $40 of laminate that I apparently don't know how to use haha.
nice work thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
I’ve heard a lot of people say that because it’s not a true sublimation item that the image will over sometime (some have said a year) the image bleeds or fades or looks bad. Is there something you’ve done that was done a while ago with this method that still looks good? I’m new and I am thinking of doing this but I know I will feel bad if I charge and it’s true what others have said. This came out beautiful and will be doing my sons name to start. Thank you for this super easy to follow video 🙂
I haven’t had any issues but mine are no more than 6 months old. I would think if you put a coat of sealer on it, it would help any chance of fading.
Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome!
What temp was the heat press set at to adhere the laminate?
400 degrees for 10 seconds. Here is a link to my blog post that might help: funstuffcrafts.com/2021/02/18/lamination-film-is-a-sublimation-game-changer/
hi...great video. when you press onto laminate what material substrate do you use in your colour settings? regards tony ;-)
I have my color option set to my ink profile. I use Cosmo Ink. They provide a download for their .ICC profile. The media type I use is Bright White Paper. I hope this answered your question.
@@FunstuffcraftsLisaWelander perfect thankyou 😉👍
Do you have to paint the letters white can you paint them a different color?
You can paint a different color but make sure it is a light color.
Do you have to paint it? Could you do an unpainted one? I'd pove to see the difference in results
Yes, you do not need to paint it. The colors will just not be as bright.
@@FunstuffcraftsLisaWelander thanks for your quick reply!
@@booksnwriting I also have another tutorial on using Polycrylic that you might like to check out. funstuffcrafts.com/2021/06/25/camping-signs-lets-sublimate/
Hi Love this. Where did you get your cart that the Heat Press is on?
It is a Husky tool check on wheels. I.live it!
@@FunstuffcraftsLisaWelander Yes just bought one from Home Depot. Great idea to put your press on the cart!
What size is your heat press?

Can you use the white wood letters, or does the wood have to be painted white?
Yes you can use the white wood letters. I just did not have them available.
Can you use that paper onto t-shirt
You can use the A-Sub paper on shirts but make sure the shirt is 100% polyester and a light color is always the best. You also need sublimation in. Here is a link to a tutorial I did for shirts funstuffcrafts.com/2021/06/11/sublimation-on-t-shirts-step-by-step-tutorial/
@@FunstuffcraftsLisaWelander thank you
Could you spray polycrylic instead?
You probably could. I have not tried it. That might need to be a new project to try it out!
I thought the paint you use had to be specifically for the higher heat.
I have used both Chalk Paint and Acrylic paint and I have not had any issues. The key is to make sure it is dry.
I can’t seem to get the lamination to stick to my wood. It just peels right off. Doesn’t matter if I do it 400 for 10 seconds or 400 for 90 seconds. It will just peel right off. Any ideas?
Make sure you have the right side facing down one the wood. There should be a matte finish side and a shiny side to the laminate. Here is a paragraph from my blog post. Cut a piece of lamination paper larger than your piece of wood. There is a glossy side to the lamination film and a matte side. Place a piece of blow out paper on the heat press, then lay your piece of wood white side up. Lay the lamination paper matte side down on the piece of wood and cover with another piece of parchment paper. Press at 400 degrees for 10 seconds.

Can you use an iron for this
I am not sure if an iron would get hot enough.
❤️
This is scratch free or not
I am not sure what you are asking. The lamination film is melted onto the wood which allows the sublimation ink to adhere onto the wood. To remove the transfer you would need to sand the wood.
