Just a FYI, I did a sublimation directly on a bamboo laminated cutting board by sanding the factory finish off and applying directly to the wood, then applying a sealant afterward. The ink penetrated very nicely. I have an Epson ET2803, started new with Hiipoo Sublimation ink (they sell it with the correct fittings to fill the ET tanks), A-sub paper and a Vevor 5-in-1 heat press. No prep coating was used.
Yes, please show us how to make individual folders. This was a great video. I just bought some 10” round wood circles to sublimate some signs and said to myself I will have to look for a you tube on how to sublimate on wood and up popped your video. 🎉
That's amazing! Are you a member of our Facebook group? We would love to see what you create with your new Sawgrass! facebook.com/groups/1930716583871665 - Dawn
Thanks for the info! I'm just getting into sublimation and wanting to use it for my wood working projects. I'm assuming I can put a coat of polyurethane over this for protection for outdoors use right? For corn hole boards and things like that.
This is fabulous! I love the added tutorial on how to split the southwest image - It helped soothe my feeling like I'm "missing out" by not having a 13 x 19 printer, haha. I'm thinking the Subli Glaze is going to be the way I go. Just to double check, because I would LOVE to be able to knock out two different projects with one product... Would the Subli Glaze be suitable to sublimate onto wall art canvases as well?
Hi and thanks so much for the video. New to this so I apologize if my question sounds silly- I’ve seen sublimated items that look like they are laminated- super glossy. Is that UV DTF or is there glossy sublimation paper for that?
@@kevinandpennylct2415, yes. A very thin layer of Minwax Sanding Sealer on wood, let it dry for 12-24 hours and then sublimated on that. I have had success on all my project with this.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! Just curious, when you "cured" the wood, I know you did this with your heat press, but if we do it in the "oven" do we need to be concerned about any fumes? Just wondering, what I'm getting my family, and pets, involved in with any "chemicals" OR Should I consider finding a way to do something like that outside?
Can I spray the coating on a peice of wood that has been stained and sealed after its dryed? Or for example a lazy susan from the store already in a darker stain color?
Hi Lisa! How exciting! Which Sawgrass are you getting? Make sure you watch this video - ruclips.net/video/DZ_nPxKRpkE/видео.html it's the sawgrass setup and first prints. We also have the entire playlist with Sawgrass tutorials that could be helpful. Check it out here - ruclips.net/p/PL9SmZ3XpZpDM9nmw0WK4cG1WV3tFEM4cq - Agata
Yes you can! It is possible to paint wood and then apply a sublimation coating on top, but the results may vary depending on the type of paint and coating used. It is essential to use a paint that can withstand high temperatures, as the sublimation process typically involves heating the substrate to high temperatures (around 400F). Additionally, the paint should be completely dry and cured before applying the sublimation coating, as any moisture or solvents in the paint can affect the adhesion and curing of the coating. - Agata
I have done a wood round with sublimation and a laminate sheet and the print is great. However, the round is warped. What did I do wrong? Temperature was 380 for 30 seconds pressure was medium at a 5. Was the pressure too much, the temperature too high, the time too long. I'm confused. I have watched all the videos and none seemed to have this problem. Help please!!!
We are working on more sublimation videos, so we can certainly add this to our list! We have an older epson video if that helps: ruclips.net/video/cEdeXdHh8lg/видео.html - Dawn 🙂
Hi John. Hairspray may be used as a temporary fixative for sublimation inks, but it is not specifically designed for that purpose and may not provide consistent or long-lasting results. It is typically recommended to use a specialized sublimation coating or pretreatment solution, which is specifically formulated to work with sublimation inks and provide optimal results. - Agata
I have used Rave in the pump bottle to sub on TP. It works fine. Just lower the temp a tad so the hairspray will not scorch. Since TPis make from wood I sure would try it.
TY I have had my Sawgrass Printer for almost three weeks! It didn't come with any instructions! I did manager to in stall the ink, but that is all!! can you help? TY
You could use a graduated oral medicine dropper or syringe found in any drugstore for the activator. Loved your project. Can you use an easy press for wood sublimation?
Hi Joanne! That is a great idea! It is possible to use an Easy Press for wood sublimation, but it may require some adjustments to the settings and techniques used. Make sure the temperature is high enough and you put enough pressure while sublimating. - Agata
Have you ever tried to paint the wood white & then use polycrylic? I’m trying to do photos on 4x4 pieces of wood & I’m not crazy about the wood color showing through. I may have to revert to tiles!
It is a good tutorial however, you do not practice what you preach. You tell everyone to take safety precautions wear mask, gloves and well ventilated area but you demonstrate without using the precautions.
Hi Maria! Crystal likes to test out to different programs and Canva has the free version so this way, customers who have the Sawgrass or Epson can try this! - Dawn 🙂

Such a great tip Bob! We need to try this! - Agata
That's what.i was wondering if you could sublimate directly on the wood without prep

That is great! So glad you liked the video! - Agata
Thanks so much for doing this video! I just received my Sawgrass 500 and will be setting it up tomorrow. So excited!
That's amazing! Are you a member of our Facebook group? We would love to see what you create with your new Sawgrass! facebook.com/groups/1930716583871665 - Dawn
I'd love a tutorial on the separate folders, thanks in advance.
Great, thank you! We will make a note of that! - Agata
I really love the southwestern sign! I will probably try that as a print then cut in some form as I am unable to sublimate. Thank you for the designs!
That sounds great! So glad you liked it! - Agata
Thank you for another great tutorial! I would love to see one on creating the different folders.
I love your designs! They look very vibrant and beautiful. ❤. Shies next, pls😊
Subli glaze the truck loved the way the truck popped out 👌♥️

I have used lamination film successfully. Very quick but does have a glossy finish. I have also used this on canvas panels.
Hey Terry! Thank you for sharing your experience! - Dawn

I love the SW round!
Thank you so much for this info!!
I use Sanding sealer by Minwax. The container last FOREVER. And works very well.
That's a great tip! Thank you Shannon! - Dawn
You use sanding sealer and then sublimate over that?
@@kevinandpennylct2415, yes. A very thin layer of Minwax Sanding Sealer on wood, let it dry for 12-24 hours and then sublimated on that. I have had success on all my project with this.
@@shannonmariekennedy Thank you, I already have that on hand and will give it a try, Do you use 400 degrees for 60 seconds?
@@kevinandpennylct2415 yes! That seems to work perfect. Sometimes, I have found some piece to only need 30 or 45 seconds.
I will try the Subli glaze Matt.
Hi thank you for this video, you mentioned that there is something for the shirts so we can sublimate ? Can you tell me the name for that please ?

It's always safter to use any spray in a well ventilated area but there isn't any smell once it dries! - Dawn
Can I spray the coating on a peice of wood that has been stained and sealed after its dryed? Or for example a lazy susan from the store already in a darker stain color?
After doing this can the wood be cut with a printer. Like for a puzzle?
I think I would try the spray first. I'm very new to sublimation.
Let us know how it works for you! - Brittany
what is the mixture you are spraying the wood? I don't see it in your description.
If you use laminate on a cutting board for a charcuterie board can you wash it. Thanks great video.
You probably could gently hand wash it without any harsh soaps - Agata
would love to see how to make seprate folders
Hi Melinda! Are you looking to make separate folders for each file type project? - Dawn
Is there a way to paint the wood white, then add the subliglaze? Or is there a product that does both in one step?
There is one that has a white coating subliglaze
I'd LOVE a Sawgrass info, mine is coming in 2 days!!

Hi Ramona! Have you tried using it on any other types of materials? We'd love to hear your feedback (and I'm sure other crafters would, too!) - Dawn 🙂
can you let the wood dry the spay without heat?

Could you add in how to print from epson software for those of us who don't have Sawgrass
We are working on more sublimation videos, so we can certainly add this to our list! We have an older epson video if that helps: ruclips.net/video/cEdeXdHh8lg/видео.html - Dawn 🙂
Does anyone know how colorfast the results are? If I use outdoors, will it last?
More tutorials on the subli glaze please!
Hi Tina! - Noted ! - Agata
What do we get for the catalyst

Hi Gloria! Have you reached out to Sawgrass support? They may have a set up printable that can be emailed to you! - Dawn
Very nice.
Where is the link to the supplies?
You could use a graduated oral medicine dropper or syringe found in any drugstore for the activator. Loved your project. Can you use an easy press for wood sublimation?
Hi Joanne! That is a great idea! It is possible to use an Easy Press for wood sublimation, but it may require some adjustments to the settings and techniques used. Make sure the temperature is high enough and you put enough pressure while sublimating. - Agata
Do the wood have to say for sublimation only to sublimate only
You can use any wood if you use a sublimation coating - Agata
Awesome!
Do we need the Canvas Pro do the cut likenyou did, correct?
Hi Arlene! No, you can use the free version! - Dawn 🥰
Can you paint the wood before putting the glaze on?
Hi Petra! Yes, you can paint the wood first! - Dawn 🙂
Thanks Dawn. 😊💕
I didnt catch why you made two copies one on top of the other?
What kind of paper was used to print the design?
Was it just regular paper??
Blablabla get to the fukkin point. Don’t need to know how to breath.
Does it work on painted wood? Chalk paint?
Hi Susan - Yes, but the results may vary depending on the type of paint and coating used. - Agata
Love this
Thank you! - Agata
opion b. but I have a clamshell and a silhouette so hope I can do not have my sublimation printer just yet
For making those crafts you would need a sublimation printer. - Agata
Hi from Texas
Hi there!! We're glad you could join us today! If you have any sublimation questions, just ask! We're here to help! - Dawn 🙂
Where did you get that tape measure
Hi Karina! It was from Amazon! It currently isn't available but they have some other options under crochet tape measure! - Dawn
like the subliglaze but paper stuck and couldn't get it all off ugh
Oh no!! What was the time and temp you were using on the project? Did you try lightly wetting the paper? - Dawn
Have you tried sublimating with polyurethane instead of the two methods you used here?
Hey Same! We have a video for sublimating over Polycrylic but haven't tried polyurethane: ruclips.net/video/2HisaI-oyZM/видео.html - Dawn 🙂
I use polyacrylic.
Great suggestion! - Brittany

The truck
It's great design!! You can find it here: designbundles.net/free-design-resources/craft/spring-truck-flower-sublimation-designs-png-file - Dawn 🙂
There must be a cheaper solution. The prices are ridiculous. I could see where the 1st print was spliced.
Sublimation is an investment but if you have a small business and plan on offering different items, it could be worth it! - Dawn
Lordy this is confusing and complicated….
Can we assist you in any way? - Agata
It is a good tutorial however, you do not practice what you preach. You tell everyone to take safety precautions wear mask, gloves and well ventilated area but you demonstrate without using the precautions.
