U can use a Cricut easy press but unless u have an extremely steady hand, u should use a heat press. If u shift any while pressing u will have a ghosting effect (blurry). I bought my sawgrass right before Cricut came out with their infusible ink. I learned the hard way when trying to use my easy press. Finally broke down and bought a 16x20 heat press. I love the rolling cart. I just bought me a she shed and I think I will buy one or two for in there. Thanks for the tutorial.
Lorrie, you always have such good tutorials. I didn’t know what sublimation was until this video ... at least I didn’t know that’s what it was called. Like you, I love learning new things and I like doing something that I can start and finish in one sitting. Tshirts are such a great thing to be able to make for gifts. Thank you so much for providing such great information. Linda from Texas
Thanks Lorrie for the tutorial. I appreciate all of your teachings. Please bring more sublimation videos and incorporate them into mask making. 😊 thank you so much...
Used your link and ordered the printer! It is a pre order. Once I receive it, I will try the easy presses. I may order the heat press at that point, especially because it is pink, LOL.
I watch your videos often and want to know if you can help me pick out a sublimation printer. I need the larger print so SG1000 is for that too right? Just wondering if the ink cartridges can be purchased at a cheaper price .
how does the sublimation hold up to washing? Does it fade at all or flake off? I've been kicking around the idea of getting one over the last year or so but have never really seen one up close.
Lorrie, thank you so much for this video. You really simplified everything for me. I have the same printer and can't wait to get started! What kind of mug press are you using and the size(s) it will press?
Fabulous video! I laughed out loud when I saw your "practice shirt" with the upside down image. That is so me! Love your shirt and the projects you put up for everyone to see are awesome as well! Where the PJ kids shirts also 100% poly? They looked like cotton. Just curious!
Can this printer make bigger projects as well? I wanted to print online a neoprene fabric to make a mermaid tale would it be able to have the design or would I have to chop up the design into sections
Loved watching this process Lorrie, especially since my daughter has a sublimation machine but doesn’t live near me. QUESTION: I’d like to get her some supplies for her birthday but the tape that you used has the link for the paper when I clicked on it. Is there a specific tape I should look for? Thanks so much for sharing this great tutorial and I hope you’re having a fantastic weekend. 🤗 #kindnessmatters
With Infusible Ink you have to cut and weed the design and to get multiple colors you have to layer, which involves a another step. Repressing over an existing Design made with Infusible ink can lighten the design and cause lines. Infusible ink is basically a sublimation process, but made by cutting out the design, whereas this is just printing a design and having to press one time.
Lorrie I thought the cricut shirts were 100% polyester but they are 95% poly and 5% spandex. They work great, I thought you might want to know so if you found that blend somewhere else you would know it works great.
