Just a head's up, Catherine; the sound during the opening animation was quite loud this time. I don't make videos, so I have no idea what might have caused it. Just wanted to let you know.
Thank you for giving out so much information!! A lot of online business owners don’t really share their tips and secrets, which is understandable, but you’re always so generous with your knowledge!
@@perigosu8449 thanks for the advice! I’ve found decent rates to the US using Chit Chats. ( Just in case this helps any Canadian sellers/ potential sellers)
@@MelissaBennett are you in the US? You might get away with shipping your mugs first class if you don't do any sort of box (which significantly increases the chance of it breaking). Sadly, with a box and even minimal bubble wrap, 11oz mug weighs over 15 oz (16.5 oz is the best I managed). That would bump you up to priority which could be as high as $11 across the country (with etsy/shopify discounts). Might be cheaper if you're somewhere in the middle (I'm in cali so shipping to east coast is expensive). Experiment with different blank mugs. Some might be lighter than others... I've only tried 1 brand so far. Thinner cardboard box might cut some weight too but you risk damaging during shipping (same as the flat rate envelope or first class without a box which make it right around 15oz) All that said, mugs do sell... just don't expect it to pay all the bills unless you're selling hundreds every day. Best advice is to sell a set (3-4). That way you can ship them in a flat rate box and make a decent profit (and even offer free shipping).
Thank you for the video. Your teaching style is great. I’ve been binge watching you for a couple of weeks now and find your video style comforting and makes me smile. Thank you for sharing all you do.
Not something i would want to do, but you are so thoughtful to offer this business information to people who are looking for this type of business venture. PS i still watched and enjoyed the video cause i enjoy your videos! :) xx
I have been looking for tutorials like this and yours appeared on my search results and it's like a complete package! Thank you so very much for this video. I am now a subscriber. ♥️
I used to work in a print shop, and I used to clean for a different print shop - even the professionals have misprints and other issues. It's just part of the gig.
Rainy weather outside, sipping hot choc from my mug, watching you make mugs ... ah ... you make me so happy. Thanks for a great tutorial, you da best 🥰💕
Hello Katnip. I have been following you since 2016 and I love everything about your work. It's so relaxing every time I see you enjoying the things you love which is creating designs, stickers and mugs. You are one of the people that inspires me to be creative in many ways. I am very happy and proud of all your achievements. More blessings to you all ☺️ Sending you love from Canada ❤️
Hey! I absolutely love your videos and your work! I would love to have my own studio one day. Wishful thinking 🤣 You are such an inspiration to me 💕 Keep making us smile Catherine xx
Wow, this so helpful for someone wants to do start doing this! I hope you continue this with all the things you decide to share! You’re such a sweetheart!
Thank you for this video , the information in it is very detailed and correctly presented . Thanks to you, many people will be able to please their loved ones with unusual gifts or turn it into their source of income. I've been following you for a long time! You are an amazing girl. 🤩☺
Ohh I'm so happy that you did this video!! You were my motivation to try sublimation! I remember zooming in your videos to see what you were using as tool for mug Sublimation xP Now, I use the epson WorkForce WF-7720 - I could find one of these for a very low price! I wanted this printer because I knew I could switch between normal inks and sublimation inks. I have this freesub machine and it's a really good machine. You can find it for a good price on Amazon canada! I didn't know about the warm water trick :O I'm going to try that for sure! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and tricks! 🤓
Just a tip, if you save the Epson eco tank ink bottles, the tops come off with a firm twist and you don’t have to inject it in if you just refill the bottles! 😊
This is random but your makeup always looks SO good...have you ever thought about doing a get ready with me/tutorial type video on your personal channel? I’d love to see that!
I loved your disclaimer at the end 😂 Sublimation is like magic - there’s so much trial and error Don’t do it unless you’re prepared to throw away a million mugs getting your settings right 😂
@@aPenasIllustrator It did the trick and was absolutely fine! But we needed a printer that was much faster and also it died in the end cause we print so much lol :') But its perfectly fine for a beginner!
Did you try the cactus wraps + oven method? A friend of mine suggested it, it seems you can get very close to the handle, in fact you are required to touch the handle with both sides of the paper before block it with tape and then with cactus wrap (which has to be tightened with a screwdriver before baking). I know the process is probably slower than your press but in the oven you can bake many cups at one time so, at the end, I guess the numeric result should be about the same :-)
What do you do with the mugs that goof?? Also...This video came on after “how to adjust photos on the Sprocket printer” and I have no intention of printing mugs but it was nice to watch... love your accent. I’m American so it’s different from here.
Did you have a link to the cup supplier or did I miss that part. And how warm is the water you use to submerge the cups post sublimation. I live all your videos. They are the bright spot in my day. You are an inspiration.
This is such a helpful video - thank you! I was wondering if you had any tips for colors turning out super faded or blacks looking like browns after the press? I am new to sublimation and I am having a hard time troubleshooting!
Love this! Thank you! I’ve been wanting to do this for quite a while, but I’m waiting to get a bigger space so I can get a mug press hehe. Ps. We want to see the dead mug. (Rip muggie).
Yes the video was really informative 👏👌👍I am having a problem with putting words on my cups like example. If I go to write then print a name Marcus it's coming out thicker in size to the original font used....thats after it printed, what can I do to stop that....
How long would the mugs last before the color starts fading from putting it in the dishwasher? I bought a mug from Society6 and someone on Etsy before and it started fading very quickly. Thank you for your help!
I'd suggest hand washing your mugs in the future, they might not be dishwasher safe. My cousin got me a mug for Christmas and I didn't realise it wasn't dishwasher safe til half of it was faded off 🥺
Hey thanks so much for this, I have just started doing sublimation and weirdly have the exact same equipment you do! When I got the inks and paper from ink experts they said to use an ICC profile, but they don't offer one for mac. Do you use an ICC? I'm not 100% sure what it is, but I believe it has something to do with the colours the printer prints. Love following your business journey, and you have inspired me to pursue my own
You mentioned that you used to inject cartridges with sublimation ink, and put those in your Epsom printer - I have a Canon printer, is there anyway to use sublimation inks in it without messing up the printer? Can you buy empty cartridges that are compatible with Canon and just fill it with the sublimation ink? This video was super helpful btw!! Thankyou so much!!
Hello! I know this video is a while back.. but how do you get a transparent background? I put my art at png with no background but when it prints there is a background and not white
I have recently purchased an Epson Ecotank for sublimation and I was wondering if you use an ICC Profile for your printer or just the normal printer settings as shown here?
Hey great video. What issues exactly did you have using the convection oven. I’ve read a lot only people seem to have better results with a convection oven over a press due to the fact that you can do full mug wraps and temps seem to be more consistent. Would be good to get your opinion
Thank you for this video! It was very helpful, I have a question; I am using a heat press for 11oz, and I been wanted to try pressing 13oz, do you know if I can use the same press or do I have to buy a different one?
Thanks for this great video. Sorry I'm not sure if you've mentioned it but do you use ICC profile with your epson printer or do you print just as normal?
Thank you for sharing! I have just started watching your videos and love your energy! Curious if you would mind sharing if you have considered drop shipping. I know you sell a lot of inventory and have additional help just wondered if you considered this and wouldn’t mind sharing why perhaps you didn’t go that route? I’m starting a business soon and this is something that I’m stuck at. Which way of providing my goods. Either making & shipping myself or drop shipping them. Thanks for considering! Sending 💗
Hi! I sent you guys a message back in November through your Etsy shop asking about Gingie Mugs, I got a reply saying you will have some in your shop the following week but I’m still waiting 😢.
question: is there anyway you can not have the title of your video auto-translated?? The translations really suck. In swedish this titel now says How you printing out mugs with sublimation. And they used the wrong form of printing ontop of that. So really bad in swedish . So if there is a way to not auto translate the title is it possible to do it?? I understand that some people like the texting option on the video and don't know if the titel then also auto translate?
:') Oh gosh the only way I would be able to do it is if I hired different language translators :') cause i dont know how to speak swedish, I might convert it back to english, then just keep the auto translated captions on? :') I literally spent ages doing this too haha oopsie :')
@@KatnippStudios oh sorry!! :D It's just the auto translation of titles are 99% horrible. I never have texting on for videos so no clue how bad they are. yes, if you can have the title still in english that would be awesome. .. and I could teach you some Swedish but then you'll have all the other languages too :P maybe a challenge for 2022, how many languages can you learn in a year :D
Hello!! Somebody could help me? I would like to know what is the cost of a mug like this in the American market? They would help me a lot with your answer, thanks ❤️
It’s such a satisfying process, I love it!!☺️ how do you make sure your designs don’t bleed on the bottom or top of the mug. I have found that if my design was the exact same as yours, the bottom centimetre or so would be blurry. Do you know how to stop this? Thank you in advance xx
I’ve been having issues for ages with sublimation for my bookmarks! All of a sudden it decides it wants to splat ink everywhere! Sometimes I hate sublimation! 😩 just so many issues with it I find. And forever getting the error messages of it not recognising the cartridges grrrrrr
