BLEACHING SHIRTS FOR SUBLIMATION for BEGINNERS

How to Spray Bleach Sublimation T Shirts is a super fun side hustle if you are wanting to start up a small biz this year. I love the Gildan Softstyle shirts for Sublimation and bleaching on a T shirt. I use the Spray bleaching technique / method. I feel that spray bleaching a shirt allows you more control of the bleach and how you create your designs on the shirts. I got my spray bottles from Walmart. This is a fun DIY tutorial of how to bleach shirts and sublimate on them using a heat press. I love my Heat Press Nation Craft Pro 15 x 15 heat press. I also use my Epson sublimation printer 2720 series to print out all my JDC sublimation transfer sheets using Lucky sublimation ink.
I answer questions like “What is the best order to bleach and sublimate on a t shirt?” It isn’t wrong either way, but I do show you both methods and what I prefer. I felt that bleaching a shirt first was fine but once you go to sublimate on it, the heat from your heat press will leave a brown or burnt mark where the bleach is. Not a big deal as it washes out with having to wash it for a second time. However, with Sublimating first and then bleaching. You Wash it once after bleaching and done. It is ready to sublimate on and ship out to your customers.
I also test out if a black hoodie can be bleached on. Of course you do need to have a cotton blend of some sort as we learn in this video that the non-cotton materials do not take bleach. So, be mindful when you are ordering your materials. It is best to stick with Glidan T Shirts and Hoodies. However, I did get this black hoodie from Walmart from the brand Athletic Works.
Please note that a Sublimation printer must only use sublimation ink. My epson eco tank 2720 came with traditional ink and I DID NOT put it into my ink tanks. I bought special sub ink from the brand Lucky. Check out all the links below to the items and products I used in this Bleaching Sublimation t-shirt tutorial.
I also show you that you do not need to use CRICUT design space to printer your pngs or images. This will allow you to use your 8 x 11 sublimation sheets to their fullest extent. I also use my Urboni T shirt ruler to help me center and place my designs. I go 2 inches below the collar and place my images in landscape across my t Shirt between the 5 1/2 in marks on Both the left and right sides. This has worked beautifully for me using the 8x11 transfer sheets. If you are using a larger printer with 11 x 17 inch sheets your numbers will be slightly different. Also, be sure to place a piece of card stock inside your garments to keep from the sublimation ink bleeding through and use your JDC heat tape to keep it secure and from moving which can cause possible ghosting of your image. Wear gloves and respirator around the bleach as an extra precaution.
If you have any questions or tips you have learned along the way in your bleaching and sublimation processes, please feel free to share your knowledge :)
