Also cut the excess because it can leave ghosting. If it bends and air gets under it will ghost. You don’t need a sleeve. You can use painters tape. It’s a lot cheaper. Trust new I’ve had a lot of mistakes and there is a learning curve. I’m not saying it to be mean it anything. Just trying to help.
New subscriber! Thank you so much for being so informative. I’m just beginning my crafting journey and looking for ways to create without breaking the bank purchasing a tumbler press. Your tumbler came out beautifully.
Thank you I have watched so many videos noone say to rotate your image and print in portait not landscape I wasted so much sublamation paper again thank you so much.
I looked, but I think most of my mugs I printed through Cricut Design Space & my tumblers I printed in Canva. I'd do a quick tutorial for you, but I'm out of town. 😊😊
What is the? "THIS" that you're wrapping the tumbler with and using the hear gun on? You never once mentioned the name of it and that's a very important part
Great question! It's sublimation shrink wrap. The tumblers I used come with their own shrink wrap. I have the tumblers listed in my description under amazon.
So pretty. I'm a beginner. I purchased a Sawgrass printer. Can you give me some advice on this. Do I need to mirror my picture and where can I get my designs? Thank you!
You’ll love sublimating! Yes, you need to mirror the image. When you buy the sublimation paper, the directions will tell you what you need to do as well. I get my images to sublimate from Etsy & Creative Fabrica. I also just found out about the great Facebook group for sublimation. It’s called Tumbler, sublimation, svg designs:
So the design space won’t let you do the images to the size of the cup we need to use another way of printing out the images right? I have never sub before. Totally new
You can print and cut it on Cricut design space now. Go to settings on the top left hand corner (3 lines) Scroll to settings, change version to Beta. You're probably on Live. And under Load Materials, change it to 8 x 11 1/2. Let me know if that works. Save your project first.💜💜
Odd question.. I am doing the 8.6 width but it's not fitting. I even measured and it said 8.6 with a tape buttt I am still getting a gap between the papers... what would you recommend your video has been so helpful
Is your tumbler a 20 oz skinny straight? The printer settings, did you check to make sure you have it set for actual size, 100%. Also, I noticed it makes a different opening the pdf up from the desktop. Hope one of those helps ya! Let me know.
@@user-zk8lg4jz9x I’ve never done it from my phone. I would just double check the printer settings. Also, did you rotate the image? Remember it has to go the long way, so it can wrap fully around the tumbler
I turned a printer I to a sublimation, I use the sublimation ink. Everything I put it in the oven or a sublimation heat press my images have a pink under color to them. And my image are bright right out of the printer.
Did you convert a new printer? Or one that had already been running regular ink? If it’s one that was previously using regular ink, maybe you still have the residual ink coming out as well? Also, as far as the pink shadow. Are you printing in best or high quality? Did you uncheck the high speed, are you securing the sublimation paper so it doesn’t move? Some times it trial and error. If you heat too long it can cause that as well. I would start with following the guidelines of the sublimation paper and mugs. See what they recommend and then go from there. Hope that helps.
instead of paper can you use foil to line the toaster oven? sorry if its a stupid question. Also if you have one where the tumbler can stand inside of it how long on each side would you say?
That's not a stupid question. I just googled it and it said foil can be flammable. Wow! I didn't know that. I use parchment paper. Also, every tumbler is different. It depends on the brand, how big it is, etc. It's really trial and error. I usually try to go by what the sublimation paper directions say. I've been sublimating mine for 3 minutes on each side.
I haven’t started doing sublimation yet so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. But is sublimation paper the same as like butcher paper? I’ve been told when using a heat press I could use either.
No question is a dumb question. 😀. No, sublimation paper is different than butcher paper. You print your image onto the sublimation paper and then press the sublimation paper against your tumbler or mug. I’m not familiar with using butcher paper for sublimating, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible. Hope that helps 😀
ok I must have misunderstood what you said then. What did you wrap the tumbler in before you put it in the oven? Cause that is what I was told I could use the butcher paper for.
I used sublimation shrink wrap to secure the sublimation paper on to the tumbler or mug. I used parchment paper on the metal rack, so the shrink wrap didn’t melt on to the rack. Hope that helps.
@@cricutcreationswithtory so much!! Would regular butchers paper work? Also I posted the link to this video in a group I’m a moderator for. Several members had questions about how to use one and this video was so easy to follow I recommended your channel
Hello. How are you. Can you tell me if the black and decker model t1313sbd will work for making tumblers but it says in description it's convection but the knobs says bake, broil,toast,warm. It looks like one you are using. Thanks bunch.
I looked it up and it says it’s a convection toaster oven. So it should work! (But I’m not a professional-lol). I had another convection toaster oven I started with and it also didn’t have the convection button, I just sublimated it on bake. Hope that helps! 😀
@@cricutcreationswithtory okay great thanks so much for replying back what was the temp you use for the one that you used that was just bake and for how many minutes if you don't mind me asking. Thanks
@@ayannablakely4888 we’re on vacay and I don’t have access to my laptop to check. The temperature is the same for bake and convection. So I would use the same temperature I mentioned in the video 😀 happy sublimating!
I don’t remember what oven I used in this video. My black and decker was smaller, so I did have to rotate. In my Oster it’s bigger and I have room for my mugs to stand straight up, so I don’t rotate those. But I do rotate the tumblers. Just to be safe. 😀
I’ve heard yes and no. I would follow the instructions on the sublimation shrink wrap you use. I usually wait 2-3 minutes and then remove it. But always wear heat resistant gloves. Hope that helps.
You’ll love sublimating! In my descriptions-scroll to the bottom and you’ll see Amazon. I listed the sublimation tumblers there. Good luck! Let me know if you have any more questions.
I wrapped the tumbler with Printer Jack sublimation paper (with the image on it) then I used a sublimation plastic wrap around the tumbler - and applied the heat gun to that. Hope that helps 😀
Yes, I rotate my tumbler half way through. Also, don’t forget to place parchment paper down first, so the shrink wrap doesn’t melt to the rack. Just FYI, if you’re new to sublimating - you can always pick up a convection toaster oven at a thrift store. I wasn’t sure if I would like sublimating at first, so I bought mine there and got mine for $19.00. 😀
@@cricutcreationswithtory it just prompts me to go by the printers I installed all my drivers and everything and I still can’t get it to open the file to go to print
@@laurajohnson4748 in printers (search) you should see your printer. Do you? If so, double click and make sure it’s set as default. If you don’t see your printer. Click add new printer. Type in your printers name and follow steps. What are you printing? Cricut? Canva?
Okay please tell me I have the same oven and I burnt my cup last night trying to do it at 400 for 4 minutes. By the time it hit the two-minute mark my cup was burning. What setting do you put it on so that it doesn't burn? I mean is it like toaster is it warm what are you what are you playing the knob on so it doesn't burn! Please help me
My shrink wrap splits my 3 mins. I ordered my prints off Etsy. I got sublimation tumblers from hobby lobby. Mine actually had a line of burnt mark. The 1st one I preheated to long and it was bad. 2nd time. 3 mins and it’s burt again. Idk what the issue is now. I’m doing exactly what you did step by step 350 for 4.5 mins is longest I have got & still burning paper shrink wrap (HTV Ront brand ) is melting cup is burnt. Now I’m ordering internal thermometer to make sure my oven is correct temp
@chrise0515 I’ve never heard of that! I just looked it up & it says when you’re applying shrink wrap, if you put the heat gun too close to the shrink wrap for too long and it’s overly tight. That could happen. I hope the thermostat helps. Let me know. 😀
@cricutcreationswithtory thank you. I was just wondering before I got the 4 slice.... can't really tell if a tumbler would fit it just looking at the picture on Amazon lol.
@@cricutcreationswithtory well, I’ve tried three times and even tried using butcher paper painters and painters tape I think I need the shrink wrap or I have bad paper
@@jenniferjones8311 What are you sublimating in? I looked online and it said wine glasses heat for 12-15 min, not sure if that is correct. What sub paper are you using? and did you use sub ink?
