- In this video, we'll be tackling a question I see ALL the time on Facebook, TH-cam, Reddit, etc. How can do sublimation on a dark or cotton shirts? While you can't print directly to it, there's a work-around with a new product called Subli-Mate that allows you to do just that! Unlike EasySubli and "printable vinyl" products, it's more breathable and feels much nicer, especially after a few washes. #sublimation #sublimationondark #sublimationcotton

Hi! I
would like to know what is the Logiciel name's please!
Hmmm, in the video shows 380 for 40 seconds.
Thankyou for the code. They took $14 off my total. Can't wait till it comes and I can start printing on dark colored cotton shirts.
Just a tip because I’ve been using the Silhouette for awhile like I have the 2nd version of it, but anyways if you put your image in silhouette studio and trace it first and check your cut lines you won’t have to do that step when you go back into cut it because the cut lines will already be in there from where you traced it and it saves you that step.
This is the first video I’ve seen where you used a fabric to sub on dark shirt. I just placed an order, thanks for the discount code!
Love your videos so very complete and concise thanks I have to try this product
You are so welcome!
Awesome tutorial!!! I wish I could download my Silhouette studio to my iPad
I recently purchased sublimate sheets and I am loving them!!! Grest review!!
Where do you get them
Same question please
Glad you like them!
@@anastaciajuarez8360 i got them on amazon.
Thanks for the 'schooling'. Good stuff.
THIS IS GREAT INFORMATION.
Thanks! I enjoyed doing it!
Very nice video and well edited. 10/10
Glad you liked it!
I may have to try that. Thanks for the info!
Any time!
Did you get to try it?
Thanks for the video! I just placed and order and used your code. :-)
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, it was a good video. What time of heat press are you using?
Thanks for sharing!
Hello, your video was great and i bought the fabric sheet and for soe reason i cant use my cricut to cut the design. can you provide me with some tips to cut the design? it will scan it but when it comes to do the cutting it stops.
Will this fade over time or does it last the same amount of time as with regular sublimation? (Hoping that makes sense)
What kind of printer do you have, ink or laser? Thanks for sharing
Awesome thxs for sharing
THANK YOU thank you thank you for telling me where those pesky registration marks are!!!! Sheesh!
No problem at all!
SUBSCRIBED!!! THANK YOU
Thank you!
Do you have to cut out the design? Or can you leave whole piece of fabric like you do with regular sublimating?
Yes, you have cut it, the piece stays on the garment
like these products
Do you sell some of your printing designs anywhere? I love them
It looks thick and reminds me of printable Sheets for regular printers
Do you print with regular ink. Or sublimation ink?
is this inkjet printer your using ? and can you get this paper in the UK ? and do you know if you have sublimation printer which prints on white can you use same ink so you dont need inkjet ? as i mainly looking to do black or other colour garments
I’m just wondering will the sublimate fabric work for an epson wf 7710 printer and can I cut with a cricut machine and heat press with an easy press 2 cricut brand?
Did you try?
Hello, my name is Patty, your video was vert helpful. I do have a question. On this fabric sheet you use for a sublimation; can you use any ink or does it have to use sublimation ink?
I used sublimation ink. Specifically, Cosmos Ink.
Stupid question but are you printing with ink jet on that or sublimation ink? Cause doesn't the sublimation ink gas up when heated?
did you get a response?
I'm testing out a bunch of htv for sublimation now. I ended up getting a white toner printer but still use htv from time to time
how are you liking your white toner printer?
@@estabicha7465 loving it! As all methods it has its cons, but I genuinely like it and think it's a great option for full color prints
How would you compare this from a standard transfer with regard to how it feels on the shirt? Will this last longer? What's the difference in thickness?
When you say "standard transfer" You mean a standard sublimation transfer?
@@SouthpawsStudio think she means regular dark inkjet transfer paper
I can see the heat press outline will dissipate ? and how it ?
What brand of cut are you using? And how much it cost?
How do you line up registration Mark's on the cameo?
Isn't sublicotton the same as Printed dark tranfer?
How does it hold up in the wash?
I purchased this product and like the feel of it, but it looked good printed on the product but the end result on the shirt was muted; faded. why? and if using verbiage you must mirror the image.
I missed the part of "sublimation" in this video...but I did witness Heat Press Vinyl
When you print with tbis process. Is the image breatheable?
What kind of fabric did u used? Seems like u forgot to include in ur info box. Tnx
are you using the same printer you use for sublimation?
hello, it's the TUSY heat press good?? how long you have that machine?
I love it.. Mine has been solid. Had it for around 2 years now.
I always put a large outline around my work so if the cut isn't exact you can't tell... no white
What kind of paper and ink did you use?
Do you use a regular inkjet printer to print on sublimation paper?
what kind of epson printer do you have
Question is this the same paper that would transfer Inc to a white shirt?
Yes, it works on any color.
what kind of print is on your shirt , looks cool
Is this sublimation ink or regular ink through the 7720?
Sublimation Ink
Do you have to cut it?
Do you have to cut the design? Can you just leave the sheet in tack and press without cutting?
No, you can 100% press the entire sheet
This might be a stupid question but why cut it at all? Like if you didn’t do it through silhouette it wouldn’t have the registration marks… and you could press the whole sheet since the white doesn’t have any ink on it?
that won't work with sublimation on Subli-mate/EasySubli. The sheet is the actual white part you're subbing.
What kind of epson printer do you have?
WF-7720
Does this work with any printer or just Epson
how does it feel on the shirt.. it seems to look similar to the printable HTV paper.. can you feel it on the shirt?
It’s a little different that Easy Subli and HTV.. it feels more like a fabric
Isn't sublicotton just like Dark printable transfer paper? I need to do a side by side comparison.
I've never used that particular stuff
In the UK we call it Teflon Paper.
Is it stretchy?
My printer when I print black thier are lines in the black
what ink did you use?
How does it hold up in a wash test how long it lasts before pealing off
I seen in a few other videos sublimation doesn’t necessarily fade but heat transfer eventually will
Same press I got
I read through the comments and didn't see this asked, But my printer the paper is fed into the back, Which direction would I put the paper, Like what part facing me?
Mark a piece of blank paper and print something. Make note of how you inserted It and if the mark was top or bottom. Use the same theory with this new sub fabric. I’d Ur printer prints on the top, then the sticky part should be faced down. And vice verse
I thought sublimation was so having ink settle into the fabric and not adding a sheet to the fabric. Help me understand
Sublimation originally works great with light color polyester fabrics. The higher the polyester the better the print. This is just a way to get Sublimation to show on dark fabrics and cotton shirts
What's the brand of the shirt?
Can this be done on Cricut explore air 2?
As a lot of people have ask does this work with sublimation in?, i would like to know before i purchase the fabric.
Yes, it's made for sublimation ink
Wonderful thank you so much for the quick reply. Amazing content as always.
what was the response?
What machine did the cut
What printed did you use?
Printer
Awesome but really expensive to do it this way.
What's your printer model?
will this work with a sawgrass sublimation printer
same question
Yes, it will work just fine with Sawgrass.
so this is kinda like siser easisubli?
What would happen of I didn't have a cutter and just pressed it on to the shirt or cut with scissors
I did my first one yesterday and it turned out great, I don't have a cutter but needed the entire sheet.
It looks like a cool product but I use easy subli and I sublimate using a sub paper directly onto the easy subli and it turns out much better than printing directly on the fabric. I am pretty sure if you did the same the results would be a lot better.
Do you have a video on this?
Can you give me a step by step on how you do this?
Is this company based out of the US?
Yes, Cali based
the end result looked awful but the video of the process was top notch bro
Thanks, I have some different products I'm going to try to get different results.
Hi, you did not point out if standard ink is used or sublimation ink.
Hello! Can you use 50% cotton / 50% polyester shirts? Also are you using sublimation ink?
Thx!🙂
You can, but I always try to get as close to 100% poly as possible. The colors on 50/50 are quite muted after wash.
What is he printing on?
Can this be done with cricut
Sure can, there is just more of a size limitation. Abcdesignz4u uses a Cricut all the time!
Yes, it's a Mac/Windows kinda difference. Both do the same things but take two different paths.
Tammy if you try it let me know! I’ve used easy subli with my cricut and can’t get it to cut it off. I can’t figure out which setting yo use.
Where u order sheets from?
Are you using sublimation ink?
What about bigger than 4x
So u don't have to use sublimation ink
It's not sublimation
Yes that is sublimation ink
is the printer a sublimation printer?
Why did you have to cut the design out of the paper. Why can't you press the whole sheet
seems like the paper is just a piece of fabric not sublimation paper. So basically you are hot gluing two pieces of fabric together.
I'm not sure I would use this on tshirts. Maybe hats or bags.
Just checked the web page. They charge $48 for 15 sheets. Not worth it at all
Agreed. And quite frankly I would never try to sell this to anyone. IMO The quality is substandard. Not badmouthing Southpaw, he no doubt did everything according to directions. But I feel the end result looks muddy and is not sellable.
Actually that’s the 13x19 size and some other vendors sell those sizes for over $5 a sheet. Ithey have four different sizes and I love that. The 8..5 x 11 is only $40.50 and it includes shipping. I use them for my business and I love them. My sales are going up for repeat customers because my customers like that they are fabric and not vinyl. They really have great customer service because there was a problem with one of my orders from the mail and their customer service made me a customer for life. But that’s just been my experience. Did I mention how much money I save by not using easy subli and being able to offer bigger size prints. I think they are worth it.
@@barboneal my colors come out really good on the sheets. And using them actually helped me gain more repeat customers. My customers say they aren’t heavy and they get great airflow.
@@ericaochoa315 can you share the link for the sheets please? I’ve been trying different methods between sublimation and heat transfer, the htv transfer paper peels off after a few washes so I’m looking for something that lasts longer. I don’t want to sell poor quality products. Thanks.
I love that you used a lot of colors but it seems dull. The colors aren't vibrant at all.
Did he say 2hrs ?
You can also dry the ink under a heated platen much faster. Just don't close the heat press while drying.
And that's on a 100% cotton shirt?
yes, 100% cotton black shirt
The picture on ur video and the final design on the T-shirt looks different and not the same .. the final design color are not vibrant and blend
my latest video actually addresses this.. I found a way to make it look better.
To anyone that cares, That coupon code is EXPIRED at this point -_-
let me get with them right quick. I bet I can get it renewed!
also, currently "southpaw" (All lower case) is still working!
It's fixed and working again!
Are you the person off mercari ? That blocked me for some damn littlest petshop
I've actually never heard of Mercari until now, so sorry, not me.
Yes it was 100 percent him
What he didn't tell you was that it's not a cotton shirt
I understand that this process is more or less for 1 piece orders, but man that looks awful. I use DTG for these kind of jobs. A screen printed imprint with an underbased cymk print would look killer and produce the best, brightest, most efficient prints if you had to do more than 5 or 6 of these..
Thanks for sharing. Just my feedback but this method looks terrible because it just looks like a piece of fabric sitting there even after pressing
This is dark transfer paper not sublimation paper.
2 hours?!
Great video but that's not a great result in my opinion. The artwork came bad out of the printer..
