Love that mouse pad - those who have ruined mugs from tape marks could use their mugs by taking scraps of infusible ink and put them on the mug like a mosaic
I got a tape dispenser from Amazon that is inner changeable to both sizes of tape, holds up to 4 rolls for tape and semi auto cuts the tape at an inch and a half for you! best $20 bucks I ever spent! The Brand of tape dispenser is Echomerx
I usually see water drops when people complain a tape has left yellow marks. I wonder if the water is causing the issue sometimes. Haven't tested that myself. I like using the blue tape.
Thanks, Angie. I use the large blue tape (that comes 6 to a box). I already had a large and regular sized dispenser that I use for Scotch Tape and Packing tape, so the large spool was not an issue for me. I do like the Cricut tape, but the multi-roll large tape is so much mire economical. And I have yet to find a dispenser that it really fits well on.
I have used the yellow tape for awhile and haven’t had issues. However, when I took the ceramic cups outside in the sunlight, I could see the yellow tape marks. I will only use that type for full wraps now. I love the Cricut brand. I haven’t found a tape dispenser that fits any of my tape well. I’ll have to try your suggestions.
I used the cricut tape on the ceramic mug and when I take the cup out in the sunlight I can see the yellow tape marks also. Is there any solution for this? What tape do you recommend when I am not doing a full wrap on a mug? Thanks!
Love the mousepad! Could you share what infusible ink paper you used and where you get your mouse pads, as well as pressing info? Thank you so much! Love your videos!
It was a mouse pad from Amazon. Just look for a sublimation mousepad. I did use sublimation for that one and I put the links to my printer/ink/paper in the description.
i am glad you did this comparison. I have some that is Ok-ish. and did wonder what a recommended brand would be. A dispenser is a big selling point because it is a hassle to not have one. I don't want to buy a huge one I have never had the yellow tape leave a mark. but if it does leave a mark on a mug I bet your viewers could get it off with fingernail polish remover. That is probably not a good idea on fabric though.
Thanks for sharing Angie! I've been looking all over the place for a tape dispenser that holds the 1 1/2" core for the Cricut transfer tape to no avail. I've only found a 1" or 3" replacement core. I know you said that it is a little loose. Have you since found another one or would you suggest I purchase the one you have on your link?
I watched your youtube video on seamless tumblers. You used a stretchy heat resistant tape. You said it was from Artesprix but I have not been able to find it.
this video did not answer my concern. I am sublimating two sided keychains one side at a time and have tape marks on the unsublimated side that show up when I sublimate that side later on.
Ok, I have the solution! Most two sided blanks (earrings, keychains, etc.) have a plastic protective film that gets peeled off before sublimating. When sublimating the first side, do not remove the protective film from the 2nd side where you will be placing your overlapped tape. However, (Angie's favorite word), you do need to wait until the blank is cool from sublimating the first side in order to peel off the film from the second side. Otherwise, it's gummy while still warm. Hope that's helpful!
Hi I have found that the cricut heat tape does not stick to the inside of a stainless tumbler when trying to tape your image a little over inside the top of the tumbler was surprised at this happening
Thanks for the video, havevyiu tried these on a clear glass can im seeing tape marks on it..any help would be appreciated! I used buth the yellow and clear tape from Amazon
Hi I mistakenly took off a few letters, so I used my Cricut heat resistance tape to hold the letters in place, heated it again, but can't take the tape off without taking the letters off, could you help me????
Yep neoprene is the worst. I try to make the paper larger than the blank. You can see in the koozie video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Anz9MyzIuA8.html
Hi Angie, I bought the Siser red tape and I'm taping to 100% polyester white fabric and doing sublimation. The red dyes onto my white fabric and I can see where the tape was. Why do you think this is happening?
we’ve been practicing on shirts, mugs, aprons etc. however, the outline of the tape and paper stay after we press. It doesn’t go away after a couple of minutes and even after being washed. The marks still stay there. Parts of the image come out clear and some faded. We really want to figure out what we’re doing wrong 😓
I have them all linked in the description below this video. On computer, scroll down and click show more. On mobile, click the arrow to expand the description or swipe up depending on how you are watching.
I have PYD heat tape and I did a 20oz tumbler and my design was Tweety Bird and as you know it’s yellow and it left tape marks. I did a different design on a tile I did that has blue in the design and it left tape marks. Is there a certain way to put the tape on to avoid the tape marks? It’s becoming annoying now
Thanks for your info. I've bought the Cricut tape and like it, but why on earth did they have to make the roll a tiny bit larger. So it wobbles on a tape dispenser.
I got a roll of cricut heat tape with my mug press but it's too large for my standard size tape dispenser. is any 3"core dispenser supposed to fit the large core heat tape?
@@AngieHolden I think I'm going to wrap the 'core' with something. masking tape perhaps? and see if I wrap it enough - it will enlarge it enough to allow my tape rolls to fit.
Has anyone ever had a yellow tape work fine but then one day (same temp, same mug, same pressure etc) it starts leaving marks? I am wondering if direct sun on the tape when I wasn't using it has done it!
Hi Angie, Do you know why imprints from the heat tape shows on my tumblers after taking them out of the tumbler press? Every place I put tape on to secure the image shows up on my tumblers after sublimating as if it’s a part of the design. I’ve wasted a few tumblers because of this. Could it be the tape I’m using, pressure, heat etc.? I’ve tried different heat tape brands and it hasn’t fixed the issue.
I have not seen anyone talk about this problem but on my sublimated tumbler I can see where the tape was along the spine. The image transferred but where there was the tape the image is a little darker so you can see all the tape marks along the spine. Anyone else have this issue? Solutions?
I am having the same issue 😢 The only thing I am finding is that we need to use a protective paper before heating such as shrink wrap if using an oven or butcher paper if using a tumbler press... I just started using a press, so I'm going to buy some butcher paper before I ruin any more tumblers
I will NEVER buy YELLOW heat resistant tape again!! It left marks on my microfiber towel I was sublimating & could not wash it out. Ruined my project! I just stick to the cricket brand. TFS
I guess the yellow tape being mentioned is not genuine Kapton tape used in electronics. I had a piece at 800 deg C with a hot air rework gun and it didn't show any effects. A clear heat tape I got from Amazon melted quickly at 400 deg C.
