Katrina girl you did that, thank you so much for showing me how to do this I had been wondering how to do sublimation on dark shirts for so long but thanks to you I am ready!! Peace and blessings be multiplied to you and yours!! May the Lord forever bless your hands!!
Thank you for showing all the steps - and keeping the mistakes in! I grabbed some of this HTV just for fun, although I think their printable transfer paper would be better so you don’t have to do the whole sublimation alignment step. Buying DTF gangsheets is probably the best option overall for anything more than fun personal projects tho.
omg you saved me I would do almost the same process. over and over again some videos didn't work finally yours did I was tired of using all my paper and wasting it. your video worked perfectly thanks.
Thank you so much!!! Wish I found this video last week when my daughter wanted a special sublimation shirt for her boyfriend. Now she’s getting this style for Christmas. Thank you again!!!!
Trying to put an image on sublimation vinyl it's not easy but you have to go a good eye I did 6 shirt Sunday and they came out good so you do a good job 👍👍
For some reason, I was thinking I had to use my Silhouette to cut both the vinyl backing and the printed image on the paper, but i guess you don't. I could not figure out in my head for the life of me! Thanks for explaining it!
Great video! I tried this on 100% cotton and the image looked great, but then I tried it on a 50/50 and the black of the shirt came through 😩 so the white wasn’t as white
Girl you did better than me on my first attempt. You're right though, it's hard to lay your image perfectly onto the offset. Thank goodness you show us the DTF transfer from Ninja as that's where Imna have to go for complex designs like this.
I did everything the same as you and my transfer to the vinyl was so light. I reprinted it 3x and it barely took in any ink. Image just looks washed-out. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. 😕
I’ve dye subbed since 2000, and I’ve always pressed the dyes at a higher temp. Dye sub inks have to be heated up high enough to turn to gas that permeates the polyester substrate. Then, when cooled, it returns to a solid state and has dyed it permanently. So, here’s some possible reasons: your dye sub inks are not high quality, the TEMP isn’t high enough to convert the dye to a gaseous state, the item wasn’t dye subbed for a long enough TIME to dye the substrate, the heat press PRESSURE wasn’t enough to force the gasses INTO the subtrate, or your SUBTRATE (the HTV in this case) isn’t formulated for dye sublimation (not enough polyester in it). Try increasing your temp to 390-395F to start and see if that helps. Then fiddle with the other items until you get an acceptable outcome.
I couldn’t find the other video where you printed directly onto the vinyl. I was wondering if that was really possible with this particular brand because of the carrier sheet. You are supposed to press the image on the carrier sheet side. If you have a hack for it, I’d love to see it.
Awesomeness I have tried this once I cut around my image it was challenging however I'm a tiny bit confused when you stated that you were going to print directly on it Did you mean print directly on the HGTV Did I understand it correctly sorry I'm still learning since February of this year Thanks for your expertise
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Good morning, Queen, I just watched your video again to refresh myself on this process because I have an order to do two dark cotton t-shirts, and a black blouse. I think your shirt results are practically perfect from where I sit. I’m glad that you were able to replace the sublimation HTV because it gave you the opportunity to weed out the letter “g” and her other arm. Like I said, I think your image turned out practically PERFECT!!! I love it!!! Does it feel really smooth? As always… thank you for sharing your technique for GETTING IT DONE! Have a lovely day! Donna 🌹🌹🌹
Hey beautiful, FYI...I watched Crystal on "Crafty" and she says to sublimate first then bleach. Doing it like that will prevent scorching and the image won't be bleached!!😊
Helllo Katrina, I just subscribed to your channel and love what I've watched so far. I have a question on this particular video. You mention in this video that the next time you upload a video for the HTVRont printable vinyl for Dark materials you would do the direct print to vinyl process. I have been searching through your channel and have had no success in finding that particular video and am wondering if you have in fact uploaded it? if so can you direct me to said video. Greatly appreciate your assistance and Very Merry Christmas Wishes to you and Your Family, from Alberta, Canada.
Hello welcome to the channel and no I haven’t done that yet but I did it with easy SUBLI same concept so you can watch that video for now. Just type in the search in my home page easy SUBLI videos it should come up. Thenksb
Thank you. I have a question. Can I print a white and black skeleton on sublimation paper then use the htv for dark fabric. I was told that the white Skelton will not print
Wonder if that vinyl has a short tack press setting like siser does? That way you dont over heat it and limit the shrink that is cause by pressing it to long just to tack it down.
Not sure what you mean by thick. If you pressed it and the image came out that’s how it feels. It’s not sublimation by itself. You’re going to feel the HTV
Honestly..sooo grateful that you show the oops moments and taught us how to fix it. I learned a lot.
Thank you. Glad to help.

I have watched SOOOOO many videos about how to do this but yours made the pieces click together. THANK YOU❤❤❤❤
@@NEENEEx5 thank you I’m glad it did. I try to make it make sense and easy for everyone.
It looks perfect to me. I love it. Thank you for showing us and what to do if you make a mistake. Great job.

Yeah I prefer DTF as well. this is a learning platform so I try to show all methods for people who don’t have all equipment.
Love this Video Katrina. Where did You get the picture you used?
omg you saved me I would do almost the same process. over and over again some videos didn't work finally yours did I was tired of using all my paper and wasting it. your video worked perfectly thanks.
So glad it was helpful 🙏🏽
I tried it again, but the vinyl comes out bigger than the paper why.
It came out GREAT 👍🏽
I've used it on a Light Pink Gildan crewneck sweater & mine came out really good..
Thank you
Thank you so much!!! Wish I found this video last week when my daughter wanted a special sublimation shirt for her boyfriend. Now she’s getting this style for Christmas. Thank you again!!!!
You’re very welcome
Trying to put an image on sublimation vinyl it's not easy but you have to go a good eye I did 6 shirt Sunday and they came out good so you do a good job 👍👍
Thank you. Yeah doing 1 pieces are much easier
Wow, that shirt came out really nice. I'm going to try to learn what you just showed❤
Go for it
For some reason, I was thinking I had to use my Silhouette to cut both the vinyl backing and the printed image on the paper, but i guess you don't. I could not figure out in my head for the life of me! Thanks for explaining it!
I love how it came out. Bella Canvas t shirts is a good choice too.
The best
Great video! I tried this on 100% cotton and the image looked great, but then I tried it on a 50/50 and the black of the shirt came through 😩 so the white wasn’t as white
Thank you for the great video! How do you get such good colors printing from design space? Thanks!
That looks like a great heat press.. what kind is it?
Thank you? Never knew about the trick with the small iron
Beautiful! What shelf are you using for the oven and the press?
Girl you did better than me on my first attempt. You're right though, it's hard to lay your image perfectly onto the offset. Thank goodness you show us the DTF transfer from Ninja as that's where Imna have to go for complex designs like this.
Transfers are the way to go
Which video is that?
Wife talking- yes if is. I thought it was me. 😂
Thank you so much for this video. It was most helpful. I will be reaching back out to attend one of your sessions. Your work is amazing
Katrina you did a great job with this and I love the design!!
@@msmarisadenise thank you
Hi Katrina,
I have been waiting for you to do this method so thank you very much! You ROCK!!!!
You are very welcome. I will be doing it again soon.
Great tutorial. What size printer are you using? I always have trouble trying to do larger prints as Cricut stops it at 6.5 x 9 something.
I did everything the same as you and my transfer to the vinyl was so light. I reprinted it 3x and it barely took in any ink. Image just looks washed-out. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. 😕

ok great i will look for it Thx you@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 which videos?
I’m so happy to know that we can do this on Design Space! Question, do you have a video explaining ICC files? Thank you and be well ❤
No lot yet because I never had a need to use it. My colors come out perfect without it
I am going to try this product as soon as I can get it. Thanks ❤❤❤
You’re welcome
Very nice job on that shirt and I like the black Betty boop design. Great choice.💙💙💙🖤🖤🖤
Thank you
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711You’re welcome
Love you’re explanation.
Love youre video.
Iam learning today to do it.
Glad to hear it
Can you do a video on how to resize a image in circuit design studio for a sublimation tumbler please .
Was the vinyl matte or glossy? That you used
I would like to know if it was matt or glossy. I ordered glossy and I'm not liking how it look
How did it do in the washing. Are the colors still there. Did if fade quickly?
I will have to try printing directly on the easy subli. I have a long list of things I want to try.
What do you mean printing directly on material? Directly to Tee or Sublimation htv? Thanks
You did an AWESOME job, Katrina! YOU ROCK!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thanks for this video! Would you have any idea why my shirt would come out 'blotchy'? The colors weren't solid.
Thanks for sharing, I tried this and Feld, I will try your way next. Love you video you was direct and to the point
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for your BTS unfiltered correction of oversight correction steps.😊🎉📹
You’re welcome
Looks great, concerned on vinyl under
Yes, please do print and cut. Thanks
I love your videos, you keep it real. Where did you get the image? I would love to make one with the Bucs and of course Giants ( nyc girl too).
Hey beautiful, FYI...I watched Crystal on "Crafty" and she says to sublimate first then bleach. Doing it like that will prevent scorching and the image won't be bleached!!😊
I will try it that way next time someone else mentioned that as well thanks
Do you always have to do white under sublimation dk, ? Haven't started yet
Yes it's Friday getting to see what you have created
Yay! We love Fridays
can you use the clear on a dark shirt. is military green considered dark?
Thank you 🙏🏽 I have a question 🙋♀️ how do you get a bigger image on Cricut design space ?? It’s only allowing me to print and cut a smaller image 😢
Thank you!!! Loved your video. I'm a subscriber now. XO
Can you use it on this on any dark colors

@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Thanks so much I'll have a peek at that one and await the other one.
Are you able to print directly onto the htv for dark colors? I never tried thank and would love to see that
Yes I do it.
What temperature and time would I use for infusible ink transfer sheets?
Thank you. I have a question. Can I print a white and black skeleton on sublimation paper then use the htv for dark fabric. I was told that the white Skelton will not print
So with Cricut I can print & cut bigger than 9.5 x 6.75? I’m new to this.
What if you don't have a Cricut ? What would the process be then ?
❤❤ awesome job! Now I'm about to try it 😊😍
Does this make the artwork area feel like a plastic bib?
Turned out so cute!!
Thank you
It looks amazing but I can't never find the vinyl on the website
Thank u this is so awesome I learned something new today
Does it feel like vinyl on there? I really like the sublimation method so you don’t feel the vinyl.
Is htv vinyl yhe same that you use with cricket or is it special vinyl?
Wonder if that vinyl has a short tack press setting like siser does? That way you dont over heat it and limit the shrink that is cause by pressing it to long just to tack it down.
I will try it shorter time next time but I pressed it for 7 seconds
Looks fabulous! Love it!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for all you do!😊😊
Amazing work 👏🏿 🙌🏾 🎉🎉
Absolutely gorgeous!
How durable is the design? does it start peeling up after some washes like regular HTV?
Mines has held up perfectly since I made it
Love your videos I just subscribed!!
Thank you Katrina - I Love It!
Good job. Looks great to me!!
Hey Katrina TGIF. Here watching.
Awesome 👏
It looks amazing!!! Great job!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
Quick question do you know why my shirt would bleed through my design? And I using too much heat?
I love this, it looks amazing 😊
Thank you! 😊
Well done. Great job
When I sub on vinyl, my print is very dull, am I doing something wrong, I pressed at the same heat and time I would press just sub on a poly shirt.
Yeah waiting for that auto tumbler press
Ince I get home so will unbox it
Do you like this better than easisubli
Thank you Katrina for your video
how many time we can use teflon sheet ?
THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT TURNED OUT FIRER I HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY GO PANTHERS
Thank you
How will this hold up with washing? Will it where as well as a regular sublimation without the htv?
It should hold up fine I can’t perform wash test time I do it. I have don’t other wish test on similar products. You can look at those videos for now
How would you do this if you only habe 8.5x11?
Hunny u did that!!@@ great job u really helped me ty
You’re welcome
Looks great!!!!
When I did this. The vinyl was really thick. What could I do different? It is htv ront sublimation for dark fabric
Not sure what you mean by thick. If you pressed it and the image came out that’s how it feels. It’s not sublimation by itself. You’re going to feel the HTV
🔥☎️!... i was strugglin' before this!
How do you know when to mirror the htv
LOOKS GREAT!! OMG!😍
Thank you!!
Looks great!!!!
Thanks!!
After a few washes, the image became dim and faded for me. How did it turn out for you after washing?
I had the same issue, I was so disappointed! I may try to spray it with either sub spray or rustoleum. Sounds crazy but might work.
How does it feel? Is it heavy on the shirt?
Feels like vinyl
You cut that good
Thanks
Thank you a lot Katrina for everything you do. Did you mirror the offset when printing?
I only mirrored the sublimation image. The cut file is not mirrored.
My prints are coming out great when it sublimates but it’s losing its integrity hours later. What am I doing wrong ?
How did you remove the entire image? Did you heat from inside like you did to remove the extra pieces?
Steps shown in video I placed my mini press under the shirt for a few secs
You go girl!!!
Great job thank you🙏🏽❤️🥰
This is awesome
Thank you
Good video thanks looks good ❤
Thank you too
