BIGGEST thing I found was to Inspect your paper Before you print on it and ALSO AFTER you print your image BEFORE you use it. I found that somehow my printer spit out small spots of color randomly on the paper and I pressed it before thoroughly checking the paper. Only ruined one tumbler learning this part!
That is a very good tip Debbie! Thank you so much for sharing it. I've had something like that happen to me before too and it's so disheartening. Thanks so much for crafting with me and happy sublimating! 🩷
Hey Juaquina! My sublimation printer is a converted Epson EcoTank printer. I use sublimation ink and sublimation paper in the printer. Unfortunately regular inkjet ink will not work with sublimation paper for sublimating projects. You will need a EcoTank. That said, there are products on the market that you can use with an InkJet printer. Check out this video where I use DTV paper with my InkJet: ruclips.net/video/8FQRpgvS_1Y/видео.htmlsi=MD-Kxv-6SD-WGEjV I hope this helps and thanks for crafting with me. I hope you'll subscribe! 💕

Those look really great! I've never seen anyone use Hipoo paper before, so I didn't know they had some, too. Looks like it works great!
Thanks so much for crafting with me Lisa! 💕

Was that a cotton shirt?
It was a poly cotton blend, Cricut brand for sublimation. The key is a high polyester content to the fabric. Thanks so much for crafting with me! 💕
