my problem is that i could see the tape marks on the tumblers. Any advice on getting that fixed?

@CherryBlawesome 8 месяцев назад

From what I have read online, you have bad heat tape. I’d purchase from a highly rated company maybe? When you say tape marks, I’m assuming you mean yellow marks from the yellow tape. If that’s the case, heat tape shouldn’t do that.

@ThugDrama 7 месяцев назад

I use blue painters tape and regular masking tape, no issues

@cindywhite9754 10 месяцев назад

Have you ever taped the edges on the top and bottom completely? does this create air pockets and White spots or does it help it?

@DailyDoseofDIY 10 месяцев назад

I usually don’t. In my experience it causes air pockets more often than it helps. Getting the paper trimmed up close helps the most with too and bottom air pockets. I will tape top and bottom and all around if I’m not using a sleeve tho.

Thank you for this! I didn't know so many of these things & was wondering why these things were happening.

@dac6157 11 дней назад

I can’t get my image to print the size I want so I always have a little bit of white space at the bottom

@spelersdemon 6 месяцев назад

I have a problem that my design is not as sharp enough there is a bit kind of grainy on my tumbler

@flyyfilipina 6 месяцев назад

I'm having that same problem. Did you figure out a solution?

@Nancy-u4r Месяц назад

Awesome video! I am seeing the areas where I taped on the image at the top and across the seams. I'm using 18.5 sublimation tumblers from Michaels, A-Sub sublimation paper, image printed using Epson Ecotank 2800 using Hippoo sublimation inks, and a Gigu tumbler heat press. The image is uneven and faded you can see where the tape had been applied to the top,, bottom and seam. The heat press is set at 366 degrees for 70 seconds, turned 180 degrees, then another 70 seconds. Do you have any suggestions?

@DailyDoseofDIY Месяц назад

Have you gotten good tumblers with that press before. If you can tell where the tape was applied I Might try a different brand tape, then I would assume it’s a heat press issue

@chryswallace8892 Год назад

Will those shrink wraps melt in a heat press?

@sanchezmarely 10 месяцев назад

no, i sublimate on a heat press and allways use shrinkwraps

@gurlwhowants2dj 3 месяца назад

OMG I am so dense. New to the tumbler world. I was wondering what the white plastic was. I was about to return my heat machine because I kept getting ghosting. Thank you for this video

I forgot to add a name, can i go back and add it now?😢

@dianegostkowski1 Год назад

I hit the element and have a burn the size of a quarter in one spot while burning off a design😢 can i resublimate over it i realize where the coating is off on that spot i thought i could just add permanent vinyl with my name to cover it?

@acedeleon5798 Год назад

What size did you cut your transfer? Thanks for the video! :)

@Belleame-wt5zq Год назад

Agree, we didnt get the size the design was cut?

@lindabradford9591 5 месяцев назад

You really should measure your cup

@katrinagerry6163 Год назад

Question for you.....I see you didn't tape down the top or bottom of the cup. I thought that this had to be done to not get the "ghosting" effect? Do you not normally tape down the top and bottom?

@DailyDoseofDIY Год назад

Normally I do not. The sleeve will pull it in tight. I’ve found that most times taping the top and bottom will create wrinkles or air pockets in the paper and that’s when you get the white blotchy rims.

My tumbler heat press is not transferring the image

@vickiphillips58 8 месяцев назад

Did u ever get it to work mine is not transferring

@dawn.n.dusk.designs 7 месяцев назад

Are you using the right kind of printer or sublimation ink? Do you have the right paper? And is it the right temp? I originally struggled with my prints not transferring, but it turned out that I was using the wrong ink + the wrong temp.

@ThugDrama 7 месяцев назад

Use sublimation ink

@mayrachanta216 Месяц назад

Very informative thank you!!! Do you by chance have recommendations/help on sublimating a tumbler with 2 images on it? I'm having trouble removing the line where both images meet & having them match up! 😢

@DailyDoseofDIY Месяц назад

Depending on the image you may want to add a bleed to the edges when printing so that you have a little more area to line up and overlap. And I would line up the images and tape them together before adding them to the tumbler. Good luck 😊

@Lisa-dj7dj 4 месяца назад

Can I use decals in my machine? I don't have a printer .

@tlc1lpn 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing,,,what brand of printer do you use

@jennifergilbert3535 Год назад

Is there a difference in the color of heat tape you purchase? Ive seen rose gold blue transparent brown yellow...

@DailyDoseofDIY Год назад

Mostly just different manufactures. In my experience blue is thicker, but doesn’t stick as well. The brown is thinner and tends to curl up but it holds much better, especially on fabrics. I’m not sure if my observations are across the board as I’ve only tested 5-6 brands. Maybe I’ll have to test some more 😉

@EiShogun-jv9nu Год назад

is it minutes or seconds?

@jasminmoore877 5 месяцев назад

I’m not sure why but my image will not transfer to my tumbler. I purchased the Amazon sublimation tumblers, hippo ink , sub -A paper , epson printer 2800 and heat resistant tape. I set my heat press to 365 for 60 seconds and rotate I’ve up the heat to 385 and it still comes out blank or little to nothing. Any tips??

@lindabradford9591 5 месяцев назад

Are you using the paper with The logo on back and sublimate on opposite side and is it sublimation ink? That's the only thing I can think of. I use everything you mentioned and have no issues.

@jasminmoore877 5 месяцев назад

⁠@@lindabradford9591 yes I use A -Sub paper But I notice the tape lift a little when it’s in the press so going to change that up and maybe try wrapping tighter some how

@lindabradford9591 5 месяцев назад

@jasminmoore877 it still should show all colors but it will be lighter where it isn't tight. Put your tape on the side that is over the other and pull the tape tight.
