Nice! Thanks for showing sublimation on different colors, I have a pile of colored 100% polyester shirts I was afraid to do anything with...😊 now I see how they could turn out using those particular colors of ink!
I'm new to sublimation. I just bought a BUNCH of t shirts from another crafter who was getting out. A lot of the shirts I got from her are gray. I kind of like the vintage look of these. Thanks for showing making these videos! I'm subscribing!
Use heat tape & the image won’t shift. Tear along the sides of the image & you won’t see those harsh lines or use pro base spray. And always use high pressure when subbing
One solution to reduce / eliminate press marks is to print the image on larger paper if you have that option, then tear the excess paper away carefully . This prevents a sharp edge.
Keep it going bro! I’m just starting myself… trying to figure out how to sublimate on dark colors… so far it looks like siser paper is the way to go. Takes time and patience, but Lords will 🙏🏽 I’ll figure it all out.
Your press is set too high. I can see the scorching of the shirt. You also don't need to insert a sheet inside of the shirt, the ink won't pass through the first side into another layer. To eliminate the paper showing around the design, once you uncover the shirt, place a piece of parchment over the area, turn up the pressure slightly and press for an additional 10 seconds, to remove the memory. Other colors that work really well are silver, safety orange, safety yellow, and safety green.
Nice! On the white shirt, what kind of paper is that? I'm pretty new to sublimation, but I want to put a large image on a shirt but I don't know where to get the paper. Also, do you think that if you use pastel colors (like an aqua or lavender) that the image would come out brighter?
This paper is called Printers Jack. The best sublimation papers to use are Crafting Besties, Blanks Galore, and Garment Creations. The colors coming out bright depend on your print settings
Here are the sublimation papers I used. The paper tends to get stuck to the top heat platen and move when I open it up due to static in the room. Crafting Besties craftingbesties.com Printers Jack www.amazon.com/Save-Sheets-x11-7-Sublimation-Paper/dp/B08JHRHMDL
You also need to know the accuracy of your heat press. I have a RUclips video that will show how to determine your fudge factor. It could be that what you think is 400 degrees, may very well be a whole lot hotter. All presses are different and only the really expensive ones like those Stahls sell, are truly accurate.
The best advice is get what you can afford for sure. As far as model and brand of heat press, I'd say get you a 15x15 or 16x20 from Amazon to start of with. Printer wise, get you an Epson ET-8550 eco-tank with Cosmos Sublimation Ink. Recommend an Epson that can printer 13x19 images.
@artixx4you632 Any brand of sublimation paper will get the job done. I started with Printer's Jack. I bought it from Amazon. Link is in the description of the video. It is NOT an affiliate link.
Also after the shirt is on the plate getting ready to be pressed do the pillow go on top of the shirt? And it can be any type of pillow right long as it’s cotton I take it?
Now try painting splashless bleach directly behind the images and see if it enhances the image. You can do that instead of a splatter look if you prefer a cleaner edge. I'm not sure but you could try (about bleach on 100% poly).
Hi there Margaret! Do you mind further detailing how to do the bleaching process please? And can I do the bleach process when putting vinyl on a regular cotton shirt as well?
I attempted to bleach a 100% polyester shirt and it did bleach some. Then I subbed on it. Will post a video and pictures. I’m new to sublimation and I’m trial and error everything.
@@tashabrown8301 I bleached a 100% cotton shirt and ruined the shirt. The bleach are through the fibers and left holes in the shirt during the washing process.

Thanks for watching. Yes, it helps get with of the press marks from the paper. You can also so a second 10-15 press to get rid of the paper lines as well.
Two suggestions. #1, you can tear the edges of your sublimation paper to help smooth out the edges. #2, after you sublimate, you can do a 3-5 second press. Just make sure to put a cover sheet on top, like parchment paper because the ink will bleed on your platen.
Unfortunately, you can't sublimate bright color images directly on dark blue or black shirts, even if they're 100% polyester. The image will be really dark.
@@IDewsKustomz I just found this out when I did my very first sublimation tonight. Thought I did something wrong and said I would do it over but after your video, I understand it cannot be done. Thanks...

Thanks for watching. Sublimating on holographic or white glitter are also alternative options.
Have you found any good prices on the easysubli?

On light colored 100% tshirts
To eliminate the edge effect after press to print, tear the edges so its jagged. Careful not tear the print offcourse.
Thank you for the advice and taking the time out to watch the video
The green came out fire the the white shirts always win lol thanks for the information
Thank you so much for sharing I greatly appreciate it I am trying to learn sublimation!
Thank you for tuning in. Part two will be out later this week.

Tear your edges around your image and that usually stops the marks around on the shirt
What brand of sublimation paper did you use? I noticed you didn’t need any heat tape to keep the image in place. Cool!
Here are the sublimation papers I used. The paper tends to get stuck to the top heat platen and move when I open it up due to static in the room.

You can press the shirt again to take out the lines
Thanks for the pro tip. I'm going to try that in my next sub video.
tear around your image that will usually take away the harsh edges
Love those images. Where did you get them?
Got them from Google images. I typed "Spider-man Comic Book" in the search

Subli is really good for white shirt.
I just wish 100% polyester shirts weren't see through
The white looks great... What type of heat press and printer do you recommend for beginners in sublimation printing?

@@IDewsKustomz thanks a lot for your advice, hope to reach to your level of t-shirt printing soon 😃

You gotta get the clear sublimation vinyl for it to work.
Clear HTV does work. However, I have another video where I sublimate on more colors. Check it out and let me know what you think.

have you tried a black and white image on the colored shirts? Do you think that would make any difference?
I have part two of this video on my channel.
Use a pillow when sublimating to keep from getting that paper outline
Will do. Thanks for the pro tip
It won’t burn the pillow ?
Also after the shirt is on the plate getting ready to be pressed do the pillow go on top of the shirt? And it can be any type of pillow right long as it’s cotton I take it?

Nice my new idea is tye dye polyester and latex panties and bra in stores
Silky Socks has panties and bras you can sublimate on
@@IDewsKustomz my new idea they need in retail stores
How about black polyester shirts/ gowns etc
Unfortunately, sublimation ink doesn't show up well on black 100% polyester material.
Can you bleach colored polyester shirts to make them white in the middle to have a good print ?
I've seen it done on cotton shirts. Hadn't tried it on polyester yet
Sublimation will work on very light colors but the design will still look a little diluted. You have to pick a design that will pop
I'll be subbing on light colors in part two of this video
@@IDewsKustomz loved the video! I can't wait to see on the light colored shirts!
So the best shirts are polyester when doing sublimation
Yes. 100% polyester give the best results.
good video man this helped a lot
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it
Have you tried doing white on dark color
Do you mean sublimate on dark?
But can you print it on a piece of flex? Ive seen someone doin it
What size was the spider man on the white shirt ? How did you print that so large what kind of printer do you use
It's was Printer's Jack 11x17 paper from Amazon. I have an Epson WF-7720 printer that can print up to 13x19 size paper

What is the paper used in the video? Is it normal sublimation paper?
It's Crafting Besties Sublimation Paper
You can use write glitter under
I have a video on my channel where I sublimate on white glitter. It really pops when you have a vibrant image.
Thanks for the video. I saw a video where they torn the edge of the paper around. Said it broke up the lines. I didn't try I though
Thanks for watching. Yes, it helps get with of the press marks from the paper. You can also so a second 10-15 press to get rid of the paper lines as well.
Do you get heat press marks on 100% polyester? And how can I avoid that
I don't anymore. I tear the edges of the paper and lighten up the pressure a little bit
why don't you show us how the image looks before you sublimate it?
I have part two on my channel where I do show the image before I pressed it
