Yes, this is a great way to get vibrant photos onto those inexpensive canvas boards. Thank you so much for watching.
I like the tip about using the Teflon sheet under the laminate. Thanks for the helpful video!
Thanks so much!!! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this excellent video!
Thank you so much Tammy!!! And I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment:)
I love your video .I did my first canvas and it came out amazing!! Thank you...
Thank you very much! Congratulations on your first canvas🙂
I just found you on TH-cam and LOVE how complete your instructions are! I have to do this! I am in charge of making 80 Christmas gifts, for ladies in our Church. I think I will do a cute manger scene....Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! Some people use the lamination pouches and just use the front or back. I really prefer the super thin lamination film. It's a little tougher to work with b/c it is thin and wants to roll up on you, but I love the results. Here is my most recent video on this technique. th-cam.com/video/sEAeHr_KYLw/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic tutorial thank you so much 😊
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment:)

We would love to see you this side of the big pond, the USA gets bad press and I'm afraid memories are short, we would all be speaking German now if it wasn't for the brave dough boys ... Your alway welcome 🙂
Great video! Thank you
Thank you so much!!!
awesome... thank you so very much.
Thank you!!!
Hi Mar, I am trying to sublimate on a canvas and came across your video which was so helpful thank you for sharing!
I'm glad you found it helpful RUG'l!!! If you want to try the really thin lamination film I used, send me a text message. I have a lot of it and could mail a sample to you.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Thank you so much Mar! However I clicked on your Amazon link and placed a order for the film. I have the sheets, so I wanted to try the film that you suggested. I always get a lot of bubbles with the sheets unless I put them through the laminate machine.
Thanks so much !
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching!
thank you so much:) this was very helpful perfect tutorial
Thank you so much!!!
@@MakingwithMarilyn you're more than welcome
I love your tutorial!! I’m going to try this out, I already have all the necessary items!
I also love how you explain everything so well! 😀
Thank you Maria! I appreciate it. And I hope your project turns out great!!!
Thank you!! I forgot I had those boards, I came across your video and really enjoyed seeing how easy you make it look!
@@miasam60 I use a really thin 1.5 mil lamination film. I love it because it melts into the canvas texture really well. But, I had someone else who tried it say they felt it was hard to work with. The thicker pouches works also, but it does seem like it is sitting more on top of the canvas than the thin film.
Thanks Marilyn, did you buy that on Amazon? I have some, I’ll have to check to see what thickness it is.
@@miasam60 I did buy it on Amazon. There are some expensive ones, but I found one that is not. I can alway mail a sample to you if yours is thick. You could just email me.
TFS...great video I'm late to the sublimation game😊
You're right on time!!!
Nice job! I had made a few of these a few weeks ago using a thicker thermal laminating pouch also found the finish to be shiny. So I sprayed it with Some Krylon Acrylic Matte Spray and I like it much better. Just an idea, if care to try it. Worked for me. Glad to see you had succcess with the 1.5 mil thickness, I'm about to try that too and will use your settings. Much appreciated!
I figured out to spray a matte finish over these and I really like how it turned out as well! Yes, I love the 1.5 mil but you definitely need to tape it to your Teflon sheet or paper under the board because it really curls up. Thanks so much!
Okay Marilyn, thank you. I used tape, that helped. Just finished it. So I think that the 1.5 film produced an image that was not as clean as the thicker stuff. For that reason I may have to go back to the thicker stuff. However, I did like the way that the 1.5 picked up the texture of the substrate.
@@litlsuz now I may have to experiment to compare the two with the same photo 😂
Marilyn, I think I'll be doing the same because I may very well have done something wrong. I was also cooking dinner between waiting for heat press to heat up and things to cool down. LOL. Better just stick to one thing! Anyhow, let me know if you see a difference. I'll let you know what I get too.
@@litlsuz that sounds great.
I love your videos Marilyn! I’m using the Scotch 3ml pouches (that’s what I have) and no matter what time or temp I use, the film ripples. Do you have any suggestions for how to use the Scotch pouches as far as time and temp for adhering to the canvas? Or would you just recommend that I get the 1.3 ml film?
Thank you🥰 I would try to stretch your pouch film and then tape it to something under it to try to keep it from doing that. Possibly that might help but I ended up switching to the thin film after trying the 3 mm pouches.
This is so awesome. I wonder if this film would work on cotton tshirts. Does it become stiff when it cools? I have a hard time finding 100% poly shirts.
That is an intriguing idea, but I don't really think it would work. I am going to try it on some scrap fabric though to see what happens. I have only used it on canvas and wood (hard surfaces), so I am not sure how it would feel on fabric after it cools. I will try a small sample and see. Thanks for the idea!
Can I get an Amazon link to the magnets you used to secure the teflon sheet to upper heat press platen?
I believe I just bought them at The Dollar Tree Store.
I love your videos! They are so easy to follow. I really love that little shelf that your heat press is on. Where did you get that table? I love it
Thank you so much! I bought the table that the heat press is on at Harbor Freight. It is very similar to the Husky ones they have at Home Depot, but less expensive. The one I have includes a lot of drawers in it for storage.
Couldn't find it on their site; unless I don't know what it's called @@MakingwithMarilyn

What type of pressure should the heatpress be on to avoid the canvas from curling?
The various boards I have used have experienced differing amounts of curling, but what I like to do before adding the film in to put the board under the heat press to release as much moisture as possible. If the board curls at that time, you can immediate place it under something really heavy until it cools all the way off. On some boards, I have had big pockets of air form on the back side as the air inside is heated. I haven't seen that pressure causes any differences in the curling issue.
do you have any tips about graininess on the canvas after pressing? both mine came out grainy, even with high quality photos.
The only thing I can think of is whether the image might be shifting slightly causing it to look less crisp or possibly overheating it. I have not seen that happen before so I'm really not sure. Let us know if you figure out what is happening so that it might help other viewers.
When I tried at Christmas to do this I had problems with the board warping. What did I do wrong?
Oh no, that's awful!!! When you say it warped, did it curl a little or what was the warp like? If it curls a bit, you can set it under something smooth and heavy while it is warm and let it sit under the item for quite awhile. That will help it be more straight. Also, did you pre-press the canvas board before pressing on it? I hope this might help a bit.
What happens if you just try sublimating directly on the canvas?
If it's a cotton (or other non-poly canvas), the print will not be very vibrant. Since you are not going to launder a canvas, it's not like it will wash out, but it's not going to be super vibrant as when sublimating on the film or other sublimation coating.
I have been trying to do this on Canvas with the Scotch pouches. I cannot get them to flatten or sublimate very well at all. I am doing it at 400 for 60sec for the final press using my heat press. I am wondering if it is because of the thickness. I am going to order the thinner film that you have. I was doing the prepress at 400 for 25 sec before adding the sublimation pic. Any ideas? Thanks
Your timing for pre-press and final press seems to be okay, but I don't use the Scotch pouches because of how thick they are. I tried them and definitely prefer the thinner film. I hope you like the thin film as much as I do. Due to its thinness, you do have to deal with it curling, but I think it is well worth it! Let me know how it goes with the thinner film!
Just what I needed. I've been trying to use 3 mil Scotch at 400 deg 60 sec and have had the laminate ripple or nearly burn. I asked on a fb group and all I got was crickets. Other YT videos didn't say temps or times... frustrating. So I am ordering the 1.5 mil and changing my temps and times. Don't they also make a matte form of this laminate? Thanks for your great video.
Thanks so much Sharon! I really love the 1.5 mil. I had one person say it was too thin to work with and it just wanted to roll up on itself. I tend to lay my project on a teflon sheet, then put the laminate over it and tape each corner to the teflon sheet. That holds it in place well. There is a matte version of the thin laminate and I would LOVE to try it. But it was a lot more expensive than what I found for the regular. Sometimes I lightly spray a matte sealant over it to decrease the sheen.
What is your printer for sublimation? Loved this idea and the process but still do not have a sublimation printer, wondering about getting a regular printer and putting sublimation ink in it and also looking at the Sawgrass SG500.
oops, just saw below the answer to my question, LOL
I have 2 printers now that I use for sublimation. I have the Epson Ecotank 2760, which is not marketed as a sublimation printer, but I put Cosmos Ink's sublimation ink into it instead of the ink that came with it. More recently, I got an Epson Ecotank 15000, which is a large format printer (up to 13" x 19"), also not marketed for sublimation. I added Hippoo sublimation into into it instead of the ink that came with it. I don't see much of a difference in the two printers/inks, except the ability to do larger prints with the 15000. People who have the Sawgrass printers really like them, but the price of the ink that goes into them is pretty expensive. I hope this helps you in some way:)
♥️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Shameka!!!
What settings would you use for wood?
Thank you for watching! Which settings are you asking about? Print settings, press settings?
Have you tried dtf on a canvas board? Do you know if it would work without the laminating film?
Yes, I tried it out about a year ago on a video. Here is a link to the video. th-cam.com/video/weiXHqct7pM/w-d-xo.html
Hi, been looking for a similar laminating film in the UK and we use Micron and not mil in thickness, you mentioned 1.5mil and not the thicker 3mil like the pouches and the only reference I have come across is some pouches that are 5mil and in the description it states thickness 0.127mm (or 127micron). Any advice? as you regard the thinner film as better, so I assume something like 75 micron, but not too sure. Thanks Lolly ♥
I prefer the thinner film. To me, it melts onto your substrate better taking on its form really well. The thicker ones seem a little cloudy or less clear, but just barely. They work also, I just like a really think lamination for these types of projects.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Thank you! 👍♥
Could I use the lamination paper on faux leather ?
I Lena! I don't think so. I think the faux leather that I have would melt or greatly warp under the high heat and length of time required for sublimation.
What type of paper did you use to print picture
I used Koala paper on this project. You can get a link to it in the video description if you are interested in purchasing it. Thanks for watching!
What printer are you using for prints?
I used an Epson Ecotank 2760 for this project. Thank you for watching!
My butcher paper is sticking to my lamination paper. What am I doing wrong? I am using the rolled laminate.
The sublimation paper should cover your lamination film, and then the butcher paper just keeps the sublimation ink off of the heat platen. Even if there is white space left on your paper, you will want to have it up against the film instead of having the butcher paper against it. I hope this helps and thank you for watching!
I've been tying to sublimate on canvas for about a week without being successful. I was trying to print a family picture but I was getting messages like this picture has to be flatten and the resolution has to be at least 300 etc,,etc. I'm using Adobe Illustrator . Any suggestions???
I'm sorry but I am not versed in Adobe Illustrator. Where did the file come from? Did you scan a picture or was it emailed to you? If you want to email it to me so I can look at it, I am happy to do so.
I tried to print on my 2760 and the Cricut software will not print it. I’m guessing I need a bigger printer for 8 x 8 size.
I purchased the laminate you suggested, haven’t tried it yet.
The printer is large enough. Cricut software limits the size. You would need to use other software to print it.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Thank you. Do you print on other software?
@@rosecowan1556 I print from Inkscape mostly but also from Silhouette Studio. Inkscape is free. I have several videos on using it.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Do you like your Epson ET15000? I read in comments that is printer you used for the canvas you made.
@@rosecowan1556 yes, I love my Epson Ecotank 15000. I have it and I have an Epson Ecotank 2760 for my sublimation prints.
how much press do you use in your press
Are you asking what pressure I use? If so, it depends on what I am pressing. I have to adjust it to have less pressure for thick things and more for thin things.
Any way to cut the glare/gloss finish?
Yes Jerry, I have sprayed these with a matte finish clear gloss spray to do that and they came out great!!! It took awhile to learn to spray evenly and keep the can further away from the canvas (and to use minimal spray), but once I got it figure out, they turned out great!!! I have thought about doing a video on that and you just inspired me, so thank you for the question!
@@MakingwithMarilyn Wow! Thanks for the quick reply. Happy to hear you have a solution. The glare would be a dealbreaker for me, but a touch of matte spray is a great solution.
I would like to see more videos
Thank you so much for watching!
I've done two and the second one the ink didn't sink into the texture of the canvas. You can see white areas :/ why would it do that?
Did you use the same lamination film, temp and pressure? I am not sure why it would do that.
@@MakingwithMarilyn no I did a hotter temp for the laminate. I dont know if it sunk in to much

Thank you so much!!! I love your channel and am really grateful for your comment!
@@MakingwithMarilyn thank you 😊 for your support
I love that you put magnets in your heat press and Teflon sheet. Brilliant! Can I ask what heat press you have?
@@natashasouliere1786 thank you! I have an inexpensive heat press from Amazon.
