I just made my 4th - 12th sublimation tumblers today and used tabs after watching your video - LOVE THEM!!! So much faster. Thank you for great tips and a wonderful, straight to the point video. =)
Thank you for the great video. I’ve been wanting to try Hiipoo tumblers and paper, and now I will! I’ve always used Crafting Besties paper, but they always seem to be out of stock. I don’t have your same brand of tumbler press, but will try you time/temperature settings too.
Do the boxes that hippo include with the individual tumblers have space to put the straw in? I’m finding a lot of these boxes are just big enough for the Tumblr but if you put the straw in the box is too small.
The straw might be a bit long to fit in the tumbler box perfect. Other than that, don't see why not. We didn't really check that at the time of the making of this video
Hi! Shrink wrap is for use in convection ovens, not in tumbler presses. The wrap provides pressure when you can’t otherwise get it. Since a tumbler press clamps around the substrate, a wrap is superfluous. And to get perfect seams and tops and bottoms, you’d still need to tape. Hope this helps!
Hi, you two . . . just have one more sublimation tumbler question. In the last Hiipoo case I received, there were two "green" tumblers included in the box. They look like glitter, and says sublimation on the box, but I was wondering if you have tried them, and if so, what colors would sublimate the best on these? Thank you for your time, and all your wonder "Just Might DIY" videos!!
Hey there! It’s hard to say what would look good on it without seeing it. However, we did a purple-ish shimmer tumbler in this video and really liked the results: th-cam.com/video/4feLE6i2A6Q/w-d-xo.html Just remember that sublimation ink is translucent, so that green may show through a bit. We would probably aim for complimentary colors (like blues, darker greens, and black) but stay away from reds, pinks and oranges.
Hi Guys! Thank you for all your awesome videos, I have a SawGrass SG500 sublimation printer, the picture I'm going to use is bigger than letter size paper so I have to slice the picture but I am not sure is it even possible to sublimate the two pictures very accurately on the fabric ? would you consider to make a video about this subject?! Thank you so very much!
We think it would be possible with some precision trim work where the two halves meet and supper accurate tape work. Basically a trick shot. We'll put some thought into making a video on this. How this was helpful and thanks for watching!
I have a question I’m new to this and when I put the size of 9.325x8.250 into silhouette studio canva and Google docs they don’t print the correct size can you help?
Hey! This could be a setting in your printer with how it is scaling your prints. We recommend reaching out to your printer manufacturer to troubleshoot. Good luck!
Great question. Doing a full wrap is tricky to control how the edges meet. We never had the success with shrink the way we could using the heat tape. If you have success with it, let us know 😁
What am I doing wrong? I use the measurements provided and the print is still coming out to short for my cups. I am using the photoshop program and my printer is the et-15000. If you could please help me I would really really really appreciate it. Thank you
Hey! Either your print settings are adjusting it down, or your tumbler may be slightly larger than standard (there’s some variation between brands even in the same size). Try increasing the dimensions in photoshop until it fits.
Too many things we don't know. Ink could have spotted while prinning. Could be a quality of ink , transfer paper, or tumbler problem. Could be a problem with the design file. Is thus your first sublimation project? Or just first tumbler sublimation?
First sublimation project. I bought the hippo sublimation ink for my Epson et 2800 and the paper I bought was brother brand and my tumbler is hogg from stainless steel depot
@AmberPowell-t9d so the basic checks. Make sure the correct side of the paper is used. And double check the time and temp for sublimation to make sure it's not being burned. Would also run a few printer system checks to make sure it's laying things down right. Last it check the graphic you used. We have had designs do this to us straight from the file. It's possible to test on scrap polyester based cloth (much cheaper than tumblers) .
We did use 375 for 70 seconds , one turn to get the leftover gap. Different presses will get you Different results. Find what works for your setup and efficiency. Thanks for watching!
This is one of the best tutorials I've watched and I've watched ALOT!
Thank you!! That comment made our day.
I love the Tab idea. I will be using that in the future.
Awesome!!
Perfect! We have those blanks too! Love your works!🥰
Sweet
I must say, You Guys ROCK!!! Thanks for all the helpful tips and videos. Keep ‘‘em coming.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! 😃
Absolutely the best titorial i have found and this helped me sooooo much!!
Awesome! We’re so glad it helped. 😃
New subscriber. I am about to start my sublimation journey. This is the best tutorial that I’ve seen so far. Very informative.
We’re so happy to hear that! We’re glad it is useful. Happy subbing!
Beautiful tumbler! ❤
Thanks!

Thanks! The tabs make it SO much easier to take the paper off. ;)

Oh yay - we love hearing that! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤️ Happy subbing!
Thank you, I’m new at sublimation, I so love the tabs, also didn’t know to peel while hot/warm! Much appreciated, have a great day Bonne
Hello and thanks for watching! We’re so glad this is helpful. Happy crafting!
The best demo ever!! Thanks for sharing!!
Great tutorial!! So easy to follow!!
Thanks! So glad it’s helpful!
Gonna try your method now - messed up my 1st 6 tumblers
Can't even say how many we messed up before we found what worked for us!
Thanks for the great video.
Thank YOU for watching!
As always, good explanations and visuals of what to do. The design is also a crucial part of the finished product in my opinion.
Absolutely, this was medium difficulty design. The pattern matching is much harder. Thank you again for watching and leaving us nice comments!

So helpful, Thanks so much!

I just got a new heat press and I’m getting whole ghost line down the middle of tumbler not the tape part never had this problem any advise?
Hey! Are you sure your paper is super tight? It sounds like it may be getting squeezed and lifted in the center.
Do the boxes that hippo include with the individual tumblers have space to put the straw in? I’m finding a lot of these boxes are just big enough for the Tumblr but if you put the straw in the box is too small.

Thanks soooooooo Much it really work!!!!!
Yay! We’re so glad to hear this worked for you. Happy crafting!
Ow I'm surprised you didn't use the shrink wrap with a heating gun thanks for sharing

@@JustMightDIY thanks I want to learn how to do them have a great weekend

i am still having trouble witht the measurement on the cup not meeting in the back
It took us quite a few attempts to get it right. We went through quite a few blanks before we got it right, but once you do, it's worth it
Just wondering why not just use shrink wrap?

Did you use 375 for 70 seconds.. or 360 degree ?

That's what I did, and still came out with ghosting and just horrible.
That's hard. It took us quite a few attempts to get this right. Don't give up
