Just got to play with the sublimation HTV for dark cotton today!! Shirts of all types in my craft space ❤ Thank You Team Maker 🎉 You Make a huge difference for so many of us 🫶
You are my "go-to" for "how-to" sublimation! I love your videos so much! Thank you, Jennifer Maker! I was actually terrified of the idea of Sublimation, and after watching a few of your videos, thought "I can do this!" Now I have a thriving business doing custom hear for people! THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video! You are awesome and I have learned soooo much! I just completed my first sublimation project and thanks to you it was simple and easy with your help! Please keep up the great work!
Thank you for all of this hard work!! You really take the time to make sure we have all the info we need. And I love that you showed the colors and how it feels after washing, that’s really important! Again, thank you!!😊
This video helped me soooo very much!!! I just recently got into sublimation and HTV and I have watched many TH-cam videos. I find myself coming back to your videos and website for everything. I even bought your Sublimation Cookbook and will probably buy the Cricut one too! I appreciate the work you put into your tutorials. Keep on Making and I'll keep on Watching!! :)
WOW!!! Thank you so much for doing all of the work for me so I don't have to guess at what I would like. While I do like the silky feeling I loved that you showed the "see through" test. SO VERY HELPFUL!!! Thank you so much Jennifer and your Team!
Thankyou so so much for this, I was one of those people who couldn't figure out why to SUB on tshirts, cotton, polyester, poly- combo. You certainly done all the homework for me and not to forget the sub- cook book. Thankyou Thankyou 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. I prefer the super faded "many x's washed" look of the cotton shirts and can't seem to find them anywhere. I've taken the plunge and bought a heatpress and will just start making my own. Thank you again. Very informative.
You are simply amazing! So informative and generous with your knowledge. You are so appreciated by this brand new to sublimation maker! Can't wait to go order the cookbook, so awesome to have it be updated regularly and I'll buy it again when it's in physical book form! ! ;) all the best!
Appreciate all the effort you put into this for us all. I’ve just tried using sublimation ink pens and a spray to experiment on a cotton handkerchief BEFORE I try it on a t-shirt. Didn’t work fantastic, and after watching this I might just have to go with poly t shirts instead. Plus the pens I was using were a random brand from Amazon, so the colours weren’t that bright to start with (red and yellow). Might try some different transfer mediums though. Used paper first, then card stock because the paper seems to absorb more of the ink. The joys of experimenting.
Fantastic round up video. Will definitely try the clear HTV option in the future. Didn’t know about that but knew I could not be bothered with DTF powder. You should get a publisher for that sublimation cook book.
My husband and I own a business. The past 10 years I have purchased Screen print shirts to sell. I have decided to purchase a Sublimation printer. Our best selling shirts are “Heathered” Gilden Softstyle. I’m trying to decide if Lazor or ink will be best for me. I will make them in bulk rather than “as ordered”. Any Advice is very much appreciated!❤️ Love your channel
@@JenniferMaker All of our shirts are light colored. We have a small Marina on the water. We have customers that still wear theirs from 5 years ago, so I definitely want something that will last. I no I can save lots of money if I made my own. Thank you for the reply!
I ordered a leotard for my granddaughter that was supposed to be mostly polyester, but it is actually rayon. Can I use the clear sublimation htv and sub on 82%rayon/spandex? I have a clamshell press and a Cricut easy press. And an Epson ET sub printer. Your cookbook guides are so helpful. Thank you!
It may wash out on rayon. You can ask in the group to see if anyone has sublimated on rayon and were successful with it. facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy
Hi Jennifer, I have been watching your videos and they have really helped me. I have a strange question. I am doing a navy cotton shirt for my grandson. He want a school logo, which is gold. Can I do the clear vinyl under so the black shows through? I do not want white behind it. I can also do just iron on vinyl, but like the way sublimation feels and lasts. Thanks
@JenniferMaker Hey Jennifer, I have watched your video and I cant thank you enough for the work you put into these to help anyone wanting to get into Sublimation but I have had an issue whenever trying to apply my design to a shirt, the color for grays have seemed to come out more brown tone than gray and I have not figured out why either. Would you have any tips on how to help with this? Im using a Georges White T shirt, An Epson F100 series sublimation printer and the recommended paper that you have suggested in a good amount of your videos. Im just trying to figure this out and having little to no luck. I cant adjust my printing setting as they are limited for some reason and Ive tried upping the saturation with no avail.
Jerzees is my go to. I have never had a problem with the color fading after it's washed, and I use Hiipo ink and A Sub sublimation paper. Cricut is nice but too expensive, and it's not sized right.
Hi Jennifer! when I sublimated on a 100% polyester T-shirt, i got a yellow tinge imprint where I used my heat tape! WHat caused this? It didn't happen on cotton fabric. Is it too much pressure or heat? I didn't get a scorch box outline, so I am just wondering if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thank you! And love your videos ❤
The yellow tinge imprint you're seeing on your 100% polyester T-shirt where you used heat tape could be due to a few factors. Polyester is more sensitive to heat compared to cotton. The yellow tinge could be a result of too much heat or pressure. Try decreasing your temperature by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, as suggested in the context, and see if that helps. Sometimes, the adhesive on the heat tape can react with the polyester fabric under high heat, causing discoloration. Make sure you are using high-quality heat-resistant tape specifically designed for sublimation. It could be the kind of heat resistant tape that you are using. Cricut blue in color heat resistant tapes works wonderfully. If you are pressing the same area multiple times, it can cause discoloration. Ensure that you are pressing each area only once and allowing it to cool completely before moving on to the next section. Also, heavy T-shirts might have extra starch or other treatments that can react under heat.
I was so happy thinking what fun to make my own shirts so my husband went out and got me everything I needed. And I still have not been able to figure this out. I have watched so many videos it's crazy and still nothing. I am actually giving up and will continue buying my shirts from someone else. So frustrated and sad
Hi Jennifer. I want to make a custom football jersey for our grandson. I want to get a dark blue football jersey since that is his school color. I want white letters with a grey outline. The jersey is kind of perforated on the bottom front and back so it is airy. Can I sublimate on that? I am having a hard time finding a solid material in a football jersey. Thanks.
We haven't worked on a project like that but a great place to ask is in my Sublimation FB group as they are super helpful there! facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy 💗
Can you explain the different transfer paper? I have premium inkjet dark transfer paper and premium inkjet light transfer paper. I used the light on a black shirt and you couldnt see the design.
I like faded look of the cotton. Gives it a faded beachy look. But does it only fade once or continue to fade until it disappears entirely with the first few washings?
I am having issues with scorching in the area outside of the sublimation where the press is hitting it. Does this mean the press is set too high or I am pressing too long? I set it at 400 for 1 minutes
Can you tell me why my shirt runs/smears. I do the process and after it is done it looks great and then after it is worn the shirt run/smears I love the way this looks and the fact you can use it on 100% cotton and it turns out vibrant. I have tried the process 4 times and every time it does the same thing.
May I ask , what's type of vinyl or method can I put on wood that can glow in the dark? I just want to put on wood that will show the clock numbers at night. Thanks
@@JenniferMaker it worked.. however rookie fail! I forgot to flip so some ink lighter but hubby loves it. He is going away to work and I made a pillowcase for him.
I really have a strange problem. My colors are printing out fine but when I heat press them the blacks are coming out green and the pinks are turning peachy.

Hello! Love your videos and all the tutorials. Any printing methods for spandex material?
As long as it has a high polyester content as the color is white or light you can do it.

If they are dark you might want to opt for vinyl🥰

Your comment could have been made by my husband and I. Even down to the 10 years! 💜
@@1cariyoung Haha That’s awesome! What kind of business do you own? Do you now make your own shirts?
You are awesome love your videos!
Thank you so much! 😊🌻
Thanks for the video but how do you get the color to look so good
Sublimation really is a science! Lessons in chemistry! Here is a tutorial on color problems and fixes. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems/

This was great. By any chance are there any good women cut shirts?
Whew! that's a whole different ball game trying to find the perfect fabric and fit! 🥰
Jerzees is my go to. I have never had a problem with the color fading after it's washed, and I use Hiipo ink and A Sub sublimation paper. Cricut is nice but too expensive, and it's not sized right.
Nice!

@@JenniferMaker thank you so much for that in-depth explanation! Much appreciated👍👍
The sublimation paper that you use for Tshirts, can it also be used to sublimate mugs & tumblers?
yes!
Hi there
How do I get rid of the heat press marks on my polyester tshirts even after preheating and washing them after😕
the Cricut link takes me to 100% cotton shirt
We will get that fixed! Thank you for letting me know! 😊🌻
How did you avoid the scorching marks on the color shirts?
It could be temperature, pressing time and or the brand of heat transfer tape. The blue heat transfer tape from Cricut works well.
I was so happy thinking what fun to make my own shirts so my husband went out and got me everything I needed. And I still have not been able to figure this out. I have watched so many videos it's crazy and still nothing. I am actually giving up and will continue buying my shirts from someone else. So frustrated and sad

Hi Jennifer. I want to make a custom football jersey for our grandson. I want to get a dark blue football jersey since that is his school color. I want white letters with a grey outline. The jersey is kind of perforated on the bottom front and back so it is airy. Can I sublimate on that? I am having a hard time finding a solid material in a football jersey. Thanks.
You can use Cricut SportFlex. 😊🌻
Hi how do you sublimate white on a light color polyester shirt?
There is no white sublimation ink, so you'd press your sublimation design onto white HTV 😊🌻
Please help, how to minimise difference in color when pressing neck gaiters?
We haven't worked on a project like that but a great place to ask is in my Sublimation FB group as they are super helpful there! facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy 💗
Does the clear Htv one crack after washing and can you really feel it on the shirt?
It is the same effect of regular iron-on vinyl. Here are other options. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-on-cotton/
Can you explain the different transfer paper? I have premium inkjet dark transfer paper and premium inkjet light transfer paper. I used the light on a black shirt and you couldnt see the design.
The dark transfer paper works best. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-on-cotton/
I like faded look of the cotton. Gives it a faded beachy look. But does it only fade once or continue to fade until it disappears entirely with the first few washings?
It will continue to fade🥰
Where can someone obtain your sublimation book?
You can get it here-jennifermaker.com/sublimation-cookbook 🥰
I am having issues with scorching in the area outside of the sublimation where the press is hitting it. Does this mean the press is set too high or I am pressing too long? I set it at 400 for 1 minutes
Try our temps/times. Also be sure you're using butcher paper over top of the sublimation sheet.😊🌻

There are a lot of factors at play, is the sublimation ink not adhering to the shirt or your HTV?
where can find the sublimation cookbook for free pages that you talk about because i would like to go by it🥰

May I ask , what's type of vinyl or method can I put on wood that can glow in the dark?
I just want to put on wood that will show the clock numbers at night.

Hello Jennifer how can we sublimate on a black shirt with 50% Polyester 25% Cotton 25% Rayon is it possible? And How? Thank you so much.
You can sublimate on 50% polyester. It will give it more of a faded look. 70% or higher is the best for bolder colors.
Have you tried DTF powder?
Yes, here is the link to that project, jennifermaker.com/dtf-t-shirt-printing-on-cotton-sublimation/ 💗
How can I make my 50% cotton and 50 % polyester work with vibrant colors on dark shirts ? I can not get it to work .

I'm not totally sure🥰
Where do i have cookbook for sub?
It's available at SublimationCookbook.com 😊🌻
am i hearing this right, you print your image onto sublimation paper using the sublimation printer.
Yes
@@JenniferMaker it worked.. however rookie fail! I forgot to flip so some ink lighter but hubby loves it. He is going away to work and I made a pillowcase for him.
Done an awesome job! And thank you for talking slow. More of the other videos, they act like they were in a race. lol. Taking so fast. 🥴
Thank you!
I really have a strange problem. My colors are printing out fine but when I heat press them the blacks are coming out green and the pinks are turning peachy.
Here is a helpful tutorial. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems/?
Can you sublimate on both sides of a shirt?
I have, and both sides of a cushion cover
yes you can. Just make sure to put blow out paper inside the shirt so ink doesn't go through both sides🥰
Has anyone use HP printer for their sublimation?
I'm not familiar with converting HP's for sublimation🥰
Is it just me or the shorts looked more vibrant after washing.
Most looked really good after washing but definitely not MORE vibrant. It could have been the lighting.🥰
