it has to be sublimation printer and sublimation ink. But you can convert an Epson inkjet to sublimation printer but the key is it has to sublimation ink
Thank you .. That helped me big time ! I have just started using photoshop so i couldn`t get my head around it until watching your video. Thanks again..
they only have the element 2021 now..does that one work the same as the one you had . Is that only for photos or can we bring in jpegs also New at all this...
I just started sublimation and the first problem I had was the tape color printed on the cup. The second is now there are little black dots. Any way to solve this problem. Oh yes, I ordered clear sublimation tape. I use my air fryer set at 400 degrees for 9 minutes.
Well trying to do this on CS5 is an utter nightmare. Of course it is different to CS3 and so on and so on, so its a nightmare to use any software for sublimation, because what should be really straightforward and simple is a fooking nightmare because the IT people who develop this crap, produce ill executed products that you have to be an IT Director to understand. Using anything Adobe in specific, even for basic things like sublimation of a cup, is not good unless you are a pro at using that software. The same will apply to this software you are using here and so on. If made user-friendly, no problem, but software is not, it must be a human thing to continue to produce fooking crap software, why? Nothing works, you all need to be burned to the ground and start again, is so messy how poorly set up all IT and software companies are. It is all about two things with them, GREED and MONEY. Wank3rs.
yea it can be frustrating!! pls look into photo shop Elements is a lite version and also photopea its free and work good too and easy to use. lastly many people use silhouette software even if they dont have a machine becasue its easy to use design in their software. i would say design it the most frustrating part of sublimation
You could actually create a group for the two layers and drag that to your template. That way, the piece would still be editable and you don't have to go through so many steps.
Just got a printer I want to start sublimation but I would like to know if I can still print out my homework and other documents .. with sublimation ink can it be use for both uses
Why do ppl do a wash test? The ink is dyed into the fabric. Its not going to wash out because of a different paper. Ppl that say wash dont understand the process of sublimation.
if you put it on cotton it will wash out. I had it happen on my hoodies. the amount of non poly you use that amount will fade out in wash same % so 50% cotton/50% poly when you wash 50% of the sub will wash out. Bummer!
@@amygreer7828 yea but that has nothing to do with the paper type, which is what this video is about and what the OP meant. If you are doing sublimation or thinking about it one of the first things you learn when doing research is that you need polyester or a coating for cotton.
