Thanks for the videos on the SP-1. They are very helpful. I have a few questions. Are you supposed to preheat your fabric area for a few seconds before placing your design on the area for sublimation? I believe I read that you should wait 24 hrs before washing anything you have sublimated on. Is that true with the brother's ink? Have you tried any of the sublimation coating sprays on all cotton fabrics & if so, how did that work for you and did the design colors last after a few washings?
I'm glad! I suggest referencing the product instructions for the printer and any sublimation blanks you buy. You should be able to find more detailed instructions about pre-heating and washing there.
sublimation inks are heat activated, once its activated by the heat the colors much more vibrant.
I had no idea until I sublimated for the first time!
