I had to pause your video half way through, just to tell you how much I am enjoying your channel. I like the way you compare, you don't talk too fast. Your videos are easy too watch and learn to, hands on within minutes. So Thank you!
Thank you so much.!! I'm one of those people that took a bunch of money, invested in the cricuit ..heatpress and so many supplies it was crazy. Then I had to have shelving for my craft room etc and guess what? I was so intimidated I never used any of it. So I've now decided maybe I'd watch a few sublimation videos and start there. I chose the perfect one to start with. You were thorough and I took lots of notes. I love that you would be including many links to further help us in our process. It's also wonderful that you test items and give us your honest opinion about them. I definitely subscribed. Thanks again for really taking your time to cover every detail with all of us. WELL DONE!! 😊❤
This video was great for telling me supplies that I need, now I need a video to help me get started. A video to show me how to actually design and send the file to my printer.
I’ve been wanting to do sublimation for a few years now, but I ran into a few issues. I watched so many videos and most of the creators were gatekeeping, but your video helped. This whole time I was using the wrong material because the video I’ve watched wasn’t specific enough about the material. So I went to hobby lobby to purchase a shirt and I finally got the results I was looking for. Your video made my day.🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hi Angie, so glad I found your video, because I want to start doing sublimation. I just bought an Epson ET-2800 printer and I got the sublimation ink. I also just ordered a tumbler press on Amazon and it's coming on Friday. I have all the Cricut presses and I have done coffee mugs with the mug press. One person asked me to do pictures on mugs, but I couldn't because I didn't have a sublimation printer. I saw videos with someone using a regular inkjet printer and using a coating onto a mug to get the photo onto the mug, but it looked so complicated and messy. Now that I have a printer to do the sublimation prints, I was looking around to see how to do them and I found this video and I subscribed to your channel. Along with the tumbler press, I ordered a 10 pack of 20oz tumblers and the sublimation paper and they came earlier today. I also have the heat resistant gloves, the heat tape and butcher paper. One video suggested that I can also use parchment paper in a pinch and I have been using that when I press T-shirts and tote bags with regular Iron-on or HTV. Thanks for the other things you mentioned. I will look into getting those.
This video is so great!! I’ve been researching into sublimation a little bit. As a mom, I’ve been trying to find things that interest ME, and something for me only 😂 & sublimation has caught my eye. This video helped me make a list for things I will need to be successful, and what I need to save for! This makes me excited!! Immediately subscribed!! Thank you!! ❤️
thanks so much. my children want to start a clothing line for kids, and this would be perfect for them to learn how to create and design their products.
Rosemonde Fashion Couture Hi Angie, it has been more than a year since I have interest in starting a t-shirt printing business. A lot of hesitation, today after watching your video on sublimation printing, I know that it is time to start. I will be asking you a lot of questions in the future. Thank you for making it easier for me!
Just curious as to why you need a 'rubber mat' and what products would you use it on when sublimating? Thank you for all your videos, I watch them often, sometimes for refresher info and sometimes if I can't figure something out.
Excellent video. You are spot-on with the details without the unnecessary filler time. I joined you now. We plan to start a venture and this really helps us, beginners. I'm definitely going to watch more of your videos.
Very informative and easy to follow...love all your videos. I plan on trying sublimation but still a bit nervous about all the expense. I have so many craft tools in many varied areas.
Thank you! This video was awesome! I just ordered my first printer for sublimation! So exciting. Your video was so helpful and so easy to watch! I'll be back!
Kathryn be sure to toss the ink that comes with printer. Even though you order sublimation printer, it comes with regular ink so toss it. I like the hiipoo ink she recommended too. I tried Jacks but it said DYE and I thought it was just a different name for sublimation.. no, and it didn't work.. just fyi bc I was so frustrated.
Angie, where do you get the round metal panels to print on to make signs for wreaths? And where do you get the design to use for the sublimation? I am so new to this. I can't seem to find anyone to tell me where to get supplies for these. Thank you!! PS: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! YOU ARE A BORN TEACHER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I have already learned a ton!
It is now 2024, thanks for this video. I have a lot of ideas now. I realize that the pricing would be different from when you did the video to now. Do you have any idea on how much it would be to start printing sublimation license plates including all that you would need to do this project? Others on here may also answer. Thank you. Don't know if you have one, just found this video today but, what might help is to know is about what you do about trademarks and other items that could have a copywrite. I might be able to help a little on this because I have been looking into it after I saw your video and started coming up with ideas. Thanks for helping with my creativity.
Try this post for copyright info: www.thecountrychiccottage.net/image-and-svg-licensing/ I don't have a price to get started as there are many factors that can affect it!
I might dip my toe in the water by using a sublimation print on demand service. I dont really want to buy another printer. I have an inkjet and a laser (for foiling). I really dont need a third printer dedicated to sublimation unless I think I might actually sell things. So I am thinking I can make my original designs, have them printed - I have found a couple places. And see how that goes. But also Cricut's infusible ink markers and sheets might be enough for some fun projects for me without getting into actual sublimation. In any event, good comprehensive video! People definitely need to be aware of everything involved before taking the plunge. You did a great job covering it.
Very thorough and I really appreciate that absence of jump cuts. Looks like you did all that in one take. Thanks for the info. I planned to use an iron to apply some 3 inch round blanks. Do you think that’s possible with just a house hold iron?
How would you sublimate on a darker shirt, I am just starting, but I am getting into it purely for my family I have 4 kids and our school does lots of spirt week and school shirts our color is a bright/dark green and yellow/gold how can I make these show up on a darker shirt? Also thank you so much for the video first one I have found that actually explains stuff to me.
My wife and I are having trouble with sublimation blacks, reds, and greens onto 100% polyester. We use 100% polyester, white onesies, A-Sub 125 gpm, and Hippo inks. We've tried changing various settings but are closest to acceptable with 400 degrees F, 35 secs, medium pressure. Have you ever gotten yellowing around your images? Thanks!
Are you using protective paper over the top? I was experiencing some yellowing with butcher paper actually and never did figure out what had changed for me. Using the Artesprix protective paper it doesn't happen.
I have an HP photo inkjet that I use the transfer paper with. It's not technically sublimation, I suppose, but it is cheaper that buying the Epson or the Sawgrass. Maybe if I can get sales and build up a bit, I can invest in one of those. But I broke the budget when I got the 5 in 1 heat press!
Love this video, very helpful information for a beginner. I have a question, is there a specific way to heat the tumblers. Like regarding plastic or stainless steel. Thank you
This tutorial was fantastic and thank you for testing all these products. Angie can you show how you being up 2 design spaces at once I have a windows laptop computer.
Just minimize the window you are in and click the icon again like you are going to open up Design Space. Two will open. You can also click new window under the file menu I believe.
Do you have a video on sublimation on glass cups for beginners? I have so many ideas I want to bring to life but I’m struggling to figure out where to start and step by steps
What cloth would you recommend for practice prints? I'd assume 100% polyester cloth would be ideal, but i'm not sure as to which specific one i should buy
Definitely 100% polyester. I would look for cheap shirts at Walmart. Or even scarves/gaiters that are white and 100% polyester. You can cut any of those into squares if you wanted.
Hello Angie, I have all of these supplies but can’t get my sublimation paper print to transfer to any fabric. Do you also need sublimation vinyl or sublimation transfer coating spray? I have tried with both and the ink on the sublimation paper never transfer at any heat or duration. I have an Epson 8550 and an HTVRONT Auto Heat Press. Any advise?
Can you explain how to layer everything right before pressing with a heat press? Like do you put something inside the shirt to prevent the ink from bleeding through? Then you would tape the print to the shirt and put the protective paper on top?? Am I missing anything??
Hi Angie, Thank you so much for all of your tutorials, they are awesome. I love how you go into great detail explaining and describing how to do the crafts. I have a question; in sublimation, do I need a special software to create my own sublimation images? Thank you in advance.
@@AngieHolden Good to know. I'm not an artist, that's for sure! So it sounds like I can turn a Clipart or photo, etc.. into a sublimation image in Cricut Design Space or the free version of Canva. Thank you for your time and for replying to my question.
In the video you mention using foam to eliminate lines...I don't remember seeing any of your video on how to use the foam. Haven't done sublimation with printer image ...waiting for my epson to convert it ...thanks for videos
I literally just started with it as I was having issues with the lines and this seems to be doing well. I am running my own tests and will do a video soon. But the roll does come with instructions!
hello Angie, This is 6/20/2023 now and I'm seeing a lot of people says after updates to their epson printers they no longer work without the epson ink being used...... side comment I've had this same problem with my HP printer ( not sublimation)... I have to subscribe to their ink or buy just their ink to use my HP. So back to my question to you. have you had this problem sent you've had your machine for a few years now and are using Hiipoo ink??
Please help!! Lol I'm getting lines when I print my image with Adobe elements at the size I need... When I used other program it printed to small but there was no lines!!! No clue as to what I'm doing wrong!! I have an epson 4700
Would you know how to remove sublimation ink off on a neoprene lanyard keychain? I have messed up on several and hope that maybe you would know what I could do to save the keychains. Thanks in Advanced.
I am new to sublimation and all hat I do know I have learned from your videos. I love your no nonsense descriptions and would really love to take your classs but, I have swiped, expanded the description and read every comment but can’t find the link to sign up for your classes please help!
Class is linked on this video in the description: th-cam.com/video/LYj0vS9lOhs/w-d-xo.html - I actually link it on every sublimation video now but this one is older and has not been modified.
She's right about protecting your mat.. I 4got and my puppy face is 4ever imprinted on my heat press mat. I flipped it over but protecting the mat is important! 😉
I'm barely starting to look into hear transfers. I'm a little confused about sublimation, vinyl and inkjet. My main material I want to use is cotton garments, which technique is the best for that?
Thank you for all the information. You are a very good instructor!! I gave a question I have not been able to find the answer to. Can you make water slide decals with a sublimation printer?
Angie, I love your videos. Now I know this video s two ears old but…when go to Amazon to buy Hiipoo ink it comes in a brown box. Is it the right kind? Am having a very hard time finding this ink anywhere else. Thank you
Do you have a video on general temperatures and times for different blanks? I know there’s a lot out there but like you mention there’s shirts, hats, and other clothing but there’s also mugs and ceramics, plastics and metal plates and signs and I am clueless.
For each blank, you should find instructions where you purchase it. I would go by that first. If you can't find it, sublimation paper has general guidelines on the packaging.
A lot of times they are on the Amazon listing. Try that first as that is the most reliable source of information. Otherwise, look on your package of sublimation paper.
Hi Angie. I am new to all of this a love your videos. I was wondering if I am able to convert an epson 2800 echotank into a sublimation printer and what type of sublimation ink and paper would you recommend? Thanks for sharing your videos!
Can you use the Artesprix Protective Paper and the Artesprix Sublimation Pad for HTV? Would you use them with coasters and other blanks and infusible inks? I don't have a sublimation printer but have the infusible inks and the mug press. Thanks Angie for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Thank you so much for this video, very informative as all of your videos are. I just have a question regarding sublimating a plate. Can it be done in a convection oven or would one need a heat press for that? Would love to see you do an example if possible. Thanks!!
Hello Angie, Thank you for this helpful and needed video and all the links as well. I am new heat press user and you are my to go TH-cam host 🤗. Does Vapor foam and Artesprix mat application process applies to the Cricut Autopress as well?
I haven't used the vapor in the AutoPress yet. I usually only use my Artesprix mat for application with the EasyPress. I use it with any heat press to set my stuff after I press it though.
I just purchased a Cricut Maker. Just listening to your videos before getting started. What's the difference in the finished product and quality from using the Cricut infusing or a printer sublimation?
Great video!! Thank you very much. Just got my sub printer today. Waiting for ink and A Sub paper. Thanks to you I decided I can do this. With your help and instructions I know it will be a great success!!! Can you sublimate on painted wood or bare wood? I might want to try some signs. Thanks again Angie!! I sincerely appreciate all your help through this journey. 🥰❣🥰❣🥰❣🥰❣🥰❣🥰
Video I Love it But I've Purchased this Exact printer and 8t isn't working at all for me It keep saying paper jammed but there's no paper in it Also when I put paper in it it keeps jamming I can't Enjoy it I am so disappointed 😔
I have everything need but the thermometer. Which one do you suggest as I'm on Amazon and don't see anything but infrared. I have a standard heat press. Also when making a mask do I need a mockup of the mask or can I just print on the sublimation the size with bleed and get a nice mask?
I actually haven't purchased a thermometer yet. I haven't had any issues with my heat press and haven't gotten around to it. I think for a mask, I would just print larger so the whole thing is covered. Be sure to use lots of paper to catch the extra ink though.
What is your opinion on the Sublimation Printer Bundles. (Pre-Set-up). Model 2850. In one of your videos you mentioned that you should not change the type of Sublimation ink used in the printer. Does it mean I would have to continue using the kind of ink that comes with the bundle? Theresa Bowen

My wife and I are having trouble with sublimation blacks, reds, and greens onto 100% polyester. We use 100% polyester, white onesies, A-Sub 125 gpm, and Hippo inks. We've tried changing various settings but are closest to acceptable with 400 degrees F, 35 secs, medium pressure. Have you ever gotten yellowing around your images? Thanks!
Are you using protective paper over the top? I was experiencing some yellowing with butcher paper actually and never did figure out what had changed for me. Using the Artesprix protective paper it doesn't happen.
A friend just gave me a heart ours and I’m learning about sublimation. Thank for the great videos. Couldn’t find the links tho. lol
On computer, click show more. On mobile, swipe up or look for an arrow to expand the description.
I have an HP photo inkjet that I use the transfer paper with. It's not technically sublimation, I suppose, but it is cheaper that buying the Epson or the Sawgrass. Maybe if I can get sales and build up a bit, I can invest in one of those. But I broke the budget when I got the 5 in 1 heat press!
I totally understand that!!
I converted an old epsom stylus photo printer I had to sub ink.
Love this video, very helpful information for a beginner. I have a question, is there a specific way to heat the tumblers. Like regarding plastic or stainless steel. Thank you
You follow the directions for the tumbler for sublimation. You can use a tumbler press or an oven.

I have tried with both and the ink on the sublimation paper never transfer at any heat or duration. I have an Epson 8550 and an HTVRONT Auto Heat Press. Any advise?
You need sublimation ink and your fabric needs to be at least 65% polyester to transfer.
Thank you very informative. Which vinyl do your recommend and do you need a cutter machine to get started?
For sublimation, you don't need a cutter or vinyl at all.
Hello Angie I trying to learn my cricut and mug press. Thanks informational video
You can do it!
I did one t shirt with some help. I have to do it several times. I learn from hands on and visual. Thanks for your informational video
Where do you put the foam that you showed for t-shirts? Inside the shirt?
Under the shirt. There are instructions that come with the roll! I am planning on a video at a later date though!
Can you reuse the foam after it has been heated? Or is it like the cardstock and you have to use a new piece with every shirt?
Foam is reusable. I cover it with paper.
Can you explain how to layer everything right before pressing with a heat press? Like do you put something inside the shirt to prevent the ink from bleeding through? Then you would tape the print to the shirt and put the protective paper on top?? Am I missing anything??

I would check to make sure you are printing best quality and fast printing is turned off.
It was my paper setting lol tysvm for getting back to me...
Would you know how to remove sublimation ink off on a neoprene lanyard keychain? I have messed up on several and hope that maybe you would know what I could do to save the keychains. Thanks in Advanced.
You can't really remove it.
Thank you for this info.. what equipment/material would you recommend using for cotton t-shirts, since sublimation is for polyester fabric?

Your awesome Angie
I am new to sublimation and all hat I do know I have learned from your videos. I love your no nonsense descriptions and would really love to take your classs but, I have swiped, expanded the description and read every comment but can’t find the link to sign up for your classes please help!
Class is linked on this video in the description: th-cam.com/video/LYj0vS9lOhs/w-d-xo.html - I actually link it on every sublimation video now but this one is older and has not been modified.
You are my favorite guru
She's right about protecting your mat.. I 4got and my puppy face is 4ever imprinted on my heat press mat. I flipped it over but protecting the mat is important! 😉
To clean it, use a spare piece of fabric and press repeated times. The ink will reactivate and go onto your fabric.
Another GREAT and helpful video! Thank you so much!!
I'm barely starting to look into hear transfers. I'm a little confused about sublimation, vinyl and inkjet. My main material I want to use is cotton garments, which technique is the best for that?
You can see a good comparison here: th-cam.com/video/vo4y-g1z2HY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for all the information. You are a very good instructor!! I gave a question I have not been able to find the answer to. Can you make water slide decals with a sublimation printer?
Hmmm I am not sure actually!
Hi just found your video. I want to start doing sublimation. This is very informative. I have scribed to your channel. Thank you
Welcome aboard!
Thank you so much! I am new to this and you made it simple and I get it.
I love your English!
Thanks for this video. New to all of this and really like the idea of custom products. When printing the design do you have to reverse the image?
Yes you do. You can see more about printer settings here: th-cam.com/video/hu0b4NQor6U/w-d-xo.html
What about using Teflon when pressing instead of butcher paper or something?

Angie, I love your videos. Now I know this video s two ears old but…when go to Amazon to buy Hiipoo ink it comes in a brown box. Is it the right kind? Am having a very hard time finding this ink anywhere else. Thank you
Yes it is. They changed packaging. Just make sure it says sublimation ink.
Do you have a video on general temperatures and times for different blanks? I know there’s a lot out there but like you mention there’s shirts, hats, and other clothing but there’s also mugs and ceramics, plastics and metal plates and signs and I am clueless.
For each blank, you should find instructions where you purchase it. I would go by that first. If you can't find it, sublimation paper has general guidelines on the packaging.
@@AngieHolden I have made several purchases via Amazon that do not have instructions in the package.
A lot of times they are on the Amazon listing. Try that first as that is the most reliable source of information. Otherwise, look on your package of sublimation paper.
Hi Angie. I am new to all of this a love your videos. I was wondering if I am able to convert an epson 2800 echotank into a sublimation printer and what type of sublimation ink and paper would you recommend? Thanks for sharing your videos!
Yes you can. Try this: th-cam.com/video/-f4oH2x-Nu0/w-d-xo.html
Can you use the Artesprix Protective Paper and the Artesprix Sublimation Pad for HTV? Would you use them with coasters and other blanks and infusible inks? I don't have a sublimation printer but have the infusible inks and the mug press. Thanks Angie for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
You definitely can use them for that if you want!
Thank you so much for this video, very informative as all of your videos are. I just have a question regarding sublimating a plate. Can it be done in a convection oven or would one need a heat press for that? Would love to see you do an example if possible. Thanks!!
I have used a heat press with an adapter made for plates. I need to look into if you can use shrink wrap as that would probably be less expensive.
Do you have a video on the epson sure color f170 printer for sublimation?
No I don't.
That is so cool that you can sublimate on glass! Does the mug that you have on your table does that fit into the cricut mug press?
Yep! Try this video: th-cam.com/video/Vx-o3Kht5_Q/w-d-xo.html
Hello Angie, Thank you for this helpful and needed video and all the links as well. I am new heat press user and you are my to go TH-cam host 🤗. Does Vapor foam and Artesprix mat application process applies to the Cricut Autopress as well?
I haven't used the vapor in the AutoPress yet. I usually only use my Artesprix mat for application with the EasyPress. I use it with any heat press to set my stuff after I press it though.
I just purchased a Cricut Maker. Just listening to your videos before getting started. What's the difference in the finished product and quality from using the Cricut infusing or a printer sublimation?
Infusible Ink is a form of sublimation. So, the quality is equal.
@@AngieHolden thank you!! Love your videos.
Thank you so much, I loved your video and you explained everything so well and simple.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!! Thank you very much. Just got my sub printer today. Waiting for ink and A Sub paper. Thanks to you I decided I can do this. With your help and instructions I know it will be a great success!!! Can you sublimate on painted wood or bare wood? I might want to try some signs. Thanks again Angie!! I sincerely appreciate all your help through this journey.
🥰❣🥰❣🥰❣🥰❣🥰❣🥰
I am looking into wood and what would be needed for that!
@@AngieHolden Great!! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I'll play with it when I get all my supplies also. Thank you!!
Video I Love it But I've Purchased this Exact printer and 8t isn't working at all for me It keep saying paper jammed but there's no paper in it
Also when I put paper in it it keeps jamming I can't Enjoy it I am so disappointed 😔
That sounds like there is something wrong with the printer? Try feeding one sheet of paper at a time.
@@AngieHolden Thank you for your Response..its Actually Working Now 💪
But I will Subscribe to your Wonderful Channel
do you have a video on using that foam roll for shirts?
I just published it! th-cam.com/video/SzyFsf85uvk/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgyFbuVscJUCSfXKam94AaABAg
I have everything need but the thermometer. Which one do you suggest as I'm on Amazon and don't see anything but infrared. I have a standard heat press.
Also when making a mask do I need a mockup of the mask or can I just print on the sublimation the size with bleed and get a nice mask?
I actually haven't purchased a thermometer yet. I haven't had any issues with my heat press and haven't gotten around to it. I think for a mask, I would just print larger so the whole thing is covered. Be sure to use lots of paper to catch the extra ink though.
I am looking through the comments for the information on the supplies you mentioned, but cannot find it.
In the description for the video. On computer click show more. On mobile try swiping up or looking for an arrow to click.
What is your opinion on the Sublimation Printer Bundles. (Pre-Set-up). Model 2850.
In one of your videos you mentioned that you should not change the type of Sublimation ink used in the printer. Does it mean I would have to continue using the kind of ink that comes with the bundle?
Theresa Bowen
I don't have experience with them. But yes I would continue to use that ink unless you flush it out and add a different brand.
So helpful thank you a million times
