So now I know you're wondering ... "Jennifer, how does dye sublimation work? What things can I use it for? And what can I put it on? And how do I get started already?" I have answers here in my ultimate guide to getting started with dye sublimation for beginners!

I literally watched a huge amount of videos just to try and get the basics on sublimation printing. So far you are the only one who broke down all the things you need without a whole bunch of miscellaneous chatter that was not relevant to the video! Thank you for such a concise description of how to get started in sublimation printing! I now feel confident that I could do this with no major worries!
Wow, thanks!
She’s the absolute best! You really feel like you can do anything with her instructions.
No cap!!! The breakdown was insane I’m like i have these choices ? I can use this with this budget, amazing video i subbed !!!
@@JenniferMaker would you please show us what printer we can use
I agree.. thanks Jennifer for the detailed explanation and info needed in order to start sublimation ❤
As a professional trainer this is one of the best presented videos I've seen in a long time, clear, concise and well laid out! don't change a thing!
Wow, thank you!
As a teacher/curriculum designer, I'd like to add my two cents. You develop and present your content with an innate awareness of adult learning theory, and you cover everything that learners need to consider without overwhelming us. Thanks for being so refreshingly understandable and encouraging. I needed to know the basics of sublimation to order some custom water bottles, but I didn't even understand what sublimation was until I watched a couple of your videos. Now, I feel prepared to discuss my order with my vendor without sounding like a complete newb. Thanks, Jennifer!
Thank you Jennifer,I have steadily been purchasing all items needed for sublimation. Found the new sisler sub markers too. Now it’s fun time! Already had my heatpress
Thank you for making sublimation understandable. You give such clear directions. You are the best!
Thank you, Myriam!
Thank you so much! I appreciate how much detail you put into everything we need to begin the sublimation journey! You are truly AMAZING!!
You are so very welcome and thank you for the wonderful words, I appreciate it!💗
Thank you for presenting this information in a manner that is understandable and not overwhelming. These videos so far have been night and day from the other videos and even the courses that are costly to receive vague information with no links to actual products needed. I could go on and on!! You’re a gem!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the sweet comment! 💕
This is amazing. Everything is explained perfectly. I’m going to go through step by step again and practice getting as perfect as yours. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!

I'm so glad! Thank you! 😃

Jennifer, I stumbled across your videos a couple of days ago when I was looking for beginner's tutorials on using HTV. I have to say, I'm addicted, and I haven't started crafting yet! This video was awesome and you have a wonderful way of getting information across that is easy to understand and follow. Thank you. You're an amazing teacher!
I def agree
😊 Loved this intro, I am 66 and starting on a new avenue with my life, Jennifer Maker is my new teacher to teach me all the things I need to learn!! Yeowzaaaa
I’ve watched so many videos and I can says you are the best teacher. Easy to understand and right to the point. I’m looking to start my sublimation business and still learning before I start. This video really helps me to understand the basic and what I need to get. 👏 thank you so much you are the best ☺️😘🙏

Jennifer, I can’t even accurately express my gratitude for your tireless hard work bringing us these videos that explain everything we need to know to take our projects to the next level!

You are the Martha Stewart of crafts. You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for all your videos.
Thank you! 😊
Great presentation! Very professional and polished! I also really appreciate that there's no background music! So many instructional videos have background music, which I find it distracting.
I subscribed! Excited to keep learning from you!
Glad it was helpful! 😊🌻
@@JenniferMaker my rats are coming out a brown color. Any idea why this would be happening? I’m using the DTF method.
I love how you put so much detail in to what you are showing us all
Thanks so much!
THANK YOU for this video. I've been trying to find out what is sublimation for a while now. I really appreciate how you explained everything. Thanks so much.
You're very welcome! 🌸
I just converted a new Epson ET2800 for dye sublimation. I chose this printer for the price and resolution, which was better than some of the more expensive Epson ET printers. When I set it up, I discovered the colors were spot on, no adjustments needed. Im using Printer Jack’s ink and paper, and I’m loving the results! Before I got the printer, I bought a professional grade heat press at a garage sale, and it includes a mug press attachment, a hat attachment, and smaller round flats for other objects.
That's awesome!
Omg you just helped me so much with this comment because I want to buy a printer and was kind of scared because I didn’t not know what series of the printer would be better and not cost so much! With all that being said thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you for the complete explanation - as always! Now I know it’s too expensive of a craft for me.
You are so welcome!
This video is so amazing. Everthing that I needed to learn about Sublimation and MORE! The way you explained everything in detail definitely increased my confidence and knwoledge to make purchases and start Sublimating so many projeccts!. Thank you so much for this video. I am so excited to start!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! 😊🌻
HI Jennifer, I just wanted to give you shoutout to say thank you for getting me and my classroom started in Sublimation. I created a shirt and coaster for my son's birthday and he loved it! Keep up the great work!
Yay! So happy to hear that! 😃
Great video as always, very informative. I would love to know more about the spray that allows you to sublimate on different surfaces, will you be covering this in an upcoming video?
I would also like to know please. I cannot find it in the lists provided🙏❤️
10:11 - 350° to 400°
11:36 - Heat resistant tape
12:26 - You can sublimate onto any t shirt that is at least 65% polyester
12:39 - The key is the polyester
13:25 - Anything laminated can usually be sublimated
14:04
14:30 - sublimate something you can’t get with a sublimation coating
I really enjoyed your delivery. You are an excellent lecturer and everything was easy to understand.
Thank you for this! I decided to watch this way before I start sublimating since I jumped into HTV without watching anything and messed up a lot of vinyl! I love your tutorials!
Thanks so much! 😃
Hi, I am doing research on sublimation printers and I have heard somewhere that the machine must stay on at all times. Is this accurate?
Hi Jennifer, Eason has refurbished ET printers for sale. Would this be ok for sublimation printer? The new ones are very expensive . And Can I use Cricut Infusible ink products without getting a printer. Do I have to have a printer?
I saw a tutorial on using an inkjet printer for sublimation printing, but she said that it’s nearly impossible to convert a printer that has ever been used with regular ink. It should be a brand new printer. It still costs way less than one made for sublimation.
Thank you ladies for you helpful advice.
I have been very curious about this but very hesitant. I’m excited to learn 🥰
A lot of information about sublimation. I'll be watching ALL these video's!
I truly enjoy coming to your channel. You are so sweet and knowledgeable. You’re definitely my go to when I have questions
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that! 💜
That was great. You are lovely, funny and very crafty. Thank you for this beginners video

Glad you enjoyed it!🥰
Thank you, Jennifer! I now know this is an expensive endeavor and to not purchase any of these supplies until I am very comfortable with my Cricut. I think it’s too tempting to want to buy everything when you get your new machine and you can get discouraged if you jump in the deep end too soon.
You are a god send. Thank you so much for all the detail!
You are so welcome! 😃
I love this! Everything on one video❣️
Thanks so much!
