I'm glad I found this video, thanks so much. I saw nothing in the Amazon description about the Sawgrass printer and certain sublimation inks. I think I will return it all as it is expensive and since I have an Epson, I don't want to waste time or money trying to make it work. Thanks again!
@@AngieHolden I appreciated that. I would have preferred the white spots cut out and for the ink to dry. Maybe I'll experiment, although an expensive lesson LOL.
I so wish I'd seen your video sooner! After 2 ruined shirts and tons of ruined supplies, I finally got it right after watching YOUR video! I have an Epson -4850 with Hiipoo ink that I use for sublimation and I had an order for a dark blue shirt. I printed on A-Sub paper and sublimated it to the Siser easysubli HTV as shown in your video. I was making it so much more difficult than it should have been! Thanks again!
This helped me so much! I love how mine turned out. I used the mask method. I didn't have any trouble removing the mask. I didn't pull off at an angle, but straight. Came right off. I used converted et2800 with hiipoo sublimation ink, and it printed beautifully. Cut with cricut maker 3, put through twice to cut at normal pressure. Used on Gildan 100% cotton purple shirt. Couldn't have done this method without your tutorial video!!!
Thank you for the tutorial. I was able to print on my Epson F170 directly on the easy subli. I totally agree with you ... the mask was horrible!!! I'm going to order what you suggested.
This is great information but I have a question. I thought Cricut needed the registration lines for Print then Cut. In the second method, the offset is cut without the lines. How does that happen? Thanks for being our guide in all things sublimation!
Video is very helpful, thank you!! But is it me or... i can see your mirror method has brighter colors than the print method....is that right ??? I only had tried the mirror method before, i would like to try the print too....I have a Epson F170 surecolor so....I will have to experiment too... 🤞. I just like to know if you think the print method does it bright enough? Or not?....this material is quite of expensive to mess with it
To cut Siser EasySubli on an Epsom Eco Tank printer, tape a piece of regular paper to the shiny side of the Siser EasySubli and feed it through the printer as you normally would. Works great.
I have watched 20-30 videos on EasiSubli and could not find which side to print on. Thank you, @AngieHolden for clarifying which side to print on! Your videos are informative and inclusive. Thank you!
I have a few questions. 1. If your going to do a print & cut why do some people if they have a sawgrass save their image as a png instead of sending it directly to the sawgrass printer, then they bring it onto their canvas? 2. Does this have to be done ONLY if the image is not already a PNG? 3. Do I need to calibrate my Cricut maker with my Sawgrass 500 to do a print & cut? I hope this is not confusing. Thank you for your great teaching.
I just do it in Design Space like normal then send to Sawgrass Print Manager. Not sure why they want to do it another way? Calibration is for the Cricut machine. Regardless of the printer you are using.
I would have used a pressing pad to raise the area of the shirt that needed to be in contact. Those neck and sleeve seams are in the way and pretty sure your pressure isn't as even as it could be. Or, I'd use my smaller press, then the seams would fall off the side of the platens and then you have even pressure. Just the way I was taught years ago and it makes sense. Thank you for your video.
Hi Angie. Thanks so much for this video. I guess my biggest question is if either way, some kind of backing is necessary to do sublimation on cotton and dark colors, and I can't print directly onto the EasySubli because I have an Epson... What's the difference between EasySubli and the HTV for dark colors that just recently came out? Does one feel less vinyl-y or lighter on the fabric? Or are they essentially the same?
What's the difference between easy subli and printable htv/transfer paper? I used regular ink on my heat transfer "paper" to add images to canvas boards and thdy tuened out beautifully.
Easy Subli is for sublimation printers. Printable HTV is for regular inkjet printers. I have found this easy subli to last a bit longer than other alternatives. Heat transfer paper will not hold up long in the wash.
Angie, loved the video!! I am making this harder than it should be. I have a design logo that someone’s wants to be all white. If my sawgrass wont print white what is the best way to use the easy subli? Appreciate your help. Thanks
I think you may have just saved my sanity! I have been trying to sublimate onto a high cotton content shirt and have managed so far to nail the image to anything but the shirt! Trying this step by step. Wish me luck!
Angie, I was wondering if you are using the Easysubli ink as it’s suggested, by the manufacturer. I have a sg 500 and had the option, when buying, to get the Easysubli ink bundle or the regular. I had to choose one option or the other because the ink is not interchangeable. I didn’t do much research on it and kinda wish I had now because it seems the Easysubli has more options?? Thank you for a very helpful video, as usual. Always enjoy!
I have a Cricut Maker 3 and the Sawgrass SG500 printer. Why cant you use the sublimation ink that's necessary for the SG500 on the Siser EasySubli product? Are you switching out the inks and cleaning the tanks inbetween use?
You can use the Sawgrass ink on it and should NOT switch inks in your Sawgrass printer. Their EasySubli ink does work better than their regular ink for this product but the regular ink will work.
Great video. I constantly pause and go back. First time using easy sub and sublimating. Help! What program are you using? I don't want to spend a fortune on subscriptions either. With easy sub paper, both sides look the same. How do you know which side to print on?
So with this, you do need something to cut generally so I am using Cricut Design Space because I have a Cricut machine. No subscription needed. Try peeling up the corner. One side should feel like vinyl and one like paper. Print on the vinyl.
I'm sublimating something that requires more than one sheet of EasySubli. Have you ever pieced it together before? I'm reluctant to do it, especially because supplies are scarce in my area. 😬
Thank you for your video. I understand well everything you say but when it comes to doing it, it didn’t go well. As you say, we didn’t have to mirror the cut of the easy subli with the cricut but when I came to print on it, following your instructions, my easy subli stick on my sublimation paper and didn’t stick to the shirt. Would you tell me which side on the easy goes on the shirt? The textured side or the flat side(who is on the plastic sheet)? Thank you
Hi. Love your videos and advice. I have a question. When I go into print manager it doesn't have siser easy subli only siser white glitter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Does the subli have any stretch to it? I'm dying to try it, but the HTVront that I purchased was horrific! Almost felt like I melted a plastic grocery bag onto my shirt and it had zero give for stretching.
Angie - I was wondering why not to use the Cricut to cut the printed image (on the second method) rather than manually cutting to make it easier to line up on the Easy-Subli that you've ironed on?
Both designs look great. Is it possible to cut/weed the second image the same as the first and cut the sublimation paper the same way? So this way there isn't a white background.
You can cut the first the same way. No need to cut the sublimation paper but it may help you line it up. I like having the white space as there is a bit of room for me to mess up.
Do I have to have the setting set up in the cricut app or could just prinnt the picture from the downloaded file and use the normal printing settings? Hopefully that makes sense, thx
I would probably "thread" the shirt and do both sides at different times. Threading is putting the shirt in a heat press without adding the other side of the shirt. So open the shirt up and only put one side at a time inside.
Hi !! Thank you for such the wonderful helpful videos but t i am so confused! What can I use with my sawgrass s500 printer with the sublijet ink to sublimate on dark cotton shirts and acrylic? Is that possible and what are the results like? ive tried sublimating with this ink on acrylic and some ceramic, the results are not good. help!! thank you! to use easysubli i need easy subli ink? any other alternatives? thanks asking if anyone knows, i am so lost!!
I tried using the KLM mask instead of the easysubli mask and the image wouldn’t stick to the mask at all. I tried exactly your method but nothing worked. I tried heat, I put it in the freezer… I was desperate! Any suggestions?
I haven't had issues with the KTM mask at all as you saw. There are other brands on the market but all heat masks are a little hard to work with in my opinion.
Hello, Thank you for the great video. But my cricut does not recognize the easy subli vinyl when I want to cut the offset to subli my image. What I am doing wrong, Can you help please?
@@AngieHolden You said in your video for the second technique to print the image in sublimation paper and cut it by hand and place a eassy subli in a mat and do the cut with the cricut. So, when I placed in the cricut the blank subi sheet to cut my offset does not find the line, that one is just set up to cut
I meant to cut the offset with blank easy subli HTV. I don't have any registration mark and the cricut give me an error that can not read registration mark. I just want to cut my offset, I don't need to print. Thanks!
Thanks for the video on the Easy Sublie. I did follow your instructions but I also used my Epson Eco Tank 4850 without any problems. I used my Cricut, moving the pinwheels and everything came out just fine. Keep those video coming, thanks
Thank you for all the tips and demos. Question... Now that Brother has a sublimation printer, have you tested printing onto EasySubli with it? Just curious.
I tried Easy Subli and got pizza wheels on every try. It was very disappointing. I have the Epsom eco tank. The second method works better with sublimating onto it but not worth the expense for me. Great video
hi i love your video's thanks i have one question so if i use the last method i use sublimation paper first to print right? and then the siser easy sheet to iorn on first on the shirt?so the paper print can stick right? but can i use just regular white vinyl insted of the easy siser sheet then place my my sublimation paper print on top or no? still a little confused with the 2 sunbi papers 😊
this might be a weird question but i am using my epson converted printer... why do my print preferences not look anything like what you have on the screen... it is very basic even when i choose advanced settings... help
Usually that is because you do not have the correct driver installed for your printer. Head to Epson and get the right driver to see all of the options.
Angie, I bought a package like yours from Siser but I thought you could use a inkjet printer. Is there such a product or did i get the wrong package. Actually, inkjet one I thought you were doing now.
I just wanted to say Thanks for this!! I wasted several sheets of Easy Subli using the Siser directions (311 degrees F). That wasn't near hot enough so the designs always looked pitiful :( The designs came out PERFECT at 385 :)
I will pay you a million dollars to help me figure out why my Sawgrass Print Manager doesn't print. Boxes don't come up the way they should. I NEVER get the VIVID option. I know Sawgrass is a good printer but I literally can not get it to work properly. It's been over a year of trying. UGH!
@Angie Holden my problem is it is super off. Yours looked great. I have tried to just duplicate and do a basic cut fir the subli, I have tried the offset and I still end up having to literally piece everything together.
Why does it look like your image is larger then the 6.75 , it looks as though you went to the very edge of the 8.25 paper. I didn’t think you could go that far to the edge with cricut .
This didn't work for me. I have been trying to use Easy Subli on cotton for months. It never weeds well. I have to try to press the graphic down. Doing that means other pieces of the pattern come up. I get so frustrated. I bought the mask from Heat Transfer since the Easy subli didn't work well for me. The Heat Transfer mask is just as bad. I did use the Circut scraper (for want of a better or the right word) tool and I go over it time and again, but it still won't adhere.
Good day, I've just watched your video. Awesome. Trying to figure out why my black box does not print on my printout when I print? I see it before I say print. But it doesn't. You are a great teacher. Thank you, Pat
Hey Angie- Im not sure if you can help since your sawgrass has the siser easysubli ink ink... I have sublijet-UHD ink installed and Ive watched videos where people have printed with the subliject inks onto easysubli but then had to heat it up first like you showed... not sure how long I would have to heat/dry it with the cricut autopress before its dry enough to print and cut on the cricut?
Pretty sure those inks work as well but I don't have them. You may have to hover a bit longer but I still think it will work! One of the reasons I included that tip!
Hello, great video. I just started to use this HTV and i use the second method when you first prepress the previously cut HTV and then you print on it the paper. Hovewer i am concerned about the temperature. Now i press the HTV for 5sec on 385 and then the paper for 30sec on 385, I would like to ask if its ok and if it doesnt damage some material - i am concerned about the effect of this high temperature on some shirts. Would this work on a lower temperature like 315? Also after removing paper from the HTV is not necessary to "cure" the ink for some seconds? Thank you in advance.
You would probably have to play with each brand of HTV to get the best possible results for your setup. I am not sure about "curing" the product. It should be fine after pressing.
Great Video! I was just wondering a couple things when I print from my cricut I don’t have the option to choose print manager it just lists my sawgrass printer. So then I can’t choose any options. Also do you prefer SubliJet ink or Easy Subli ink? Thank you!
It should be listed with your printers. If it isn't, the Sawgrass was not properly installed. I would go back and run through that again. Here is a video on the ink: th-cam.com/video/TmpuKAAgfLc/w-d-xo.html
I used the second method and the used my easy press at the suggested settings and it left a “burn” mark on my shirt. Then when I tried to peel the paper off it pulled up the easysubli underneath. What did I do wrong?😢
For the burn mark, be sure to use enough paper or a Teflon sheet that the entire EasyPress is covered. Did you peel back warm? If you allow to cool, it may stick to your paper.
Hi Angie, my sawgrass print manager doesn’t open for me when I hit print to change the setting. I’m making my item the first way. Can you help? Thank you!!
I am having issues with my printer printing black wheel marks down my image, like there is too much ink and not drying fast enough. How can I fix this?
What does it mean if you sublimate on the east subli and your sublimation color isn’t solid? Used east subli on a black shirt and came out where you can see through the east subli a little to the Kodak behind it and for the black part of my sublimation the white underneath shows through a little bit.
Always uncheck it. It is for high speed printing which you usually do not want when it comes to sublimation. There may be a few cases where you would use it.
Hey Angie, How is the feel after wards? Does it feel like a paper is on the shirt? Or does it still feel like regular sub,does it look like ink is in the shirt ?
When you feel the easisubli, how does it feel in comparison to regular htv, or stretch htv? I usually use stretch htv if needed because it feels thinner, when I can't sublimate, but I currently have made a design that has a gradient in it and I'm having a difficult time finding an htv that will work.
Thanks so much for your very informative tutorials. Just wondering if you did a wash test on this product and what the results were? Trying to compare the easy subli vs the easy dtv as I'm conflicted with what to get.
Does the EasySubli feel stiff once it’s put on a shirt? I like that sublimation isn’t “bulky” but I don’t want to have to put every design on white shirts.
I'm having issues when I cut the easi subli on my cricut. It doesn't come off as easy. I have to pull, almost like it's perforated or not cut completely. What settings and what other hint do you have? I'm doing letters and lines on black or dark colors.
I finally used the first method today and WOW!!! My son-in-law is in musician and my daughter and I made him some merch for his show tomorrow night. The shirts turned out perfectly!
Thank you for the great video! I don’t get my best sub prints from design space. I’ve tried printing from other programs and cutting the offset in DS but for some reason they don’t match up. Any ideas? Thanks!
I'm glad I found this video, thanks so much. I saw nothing in the Amazon description about the Sawgrass printer and certain sublimation inks. I think I will return it all as it is expensive and since I have an Epson, I don't want to waste time or money trying to make it work. Thanks again!
You can use this product with your Epson as I have shown in this video.
@@AngieHolden I appreciated that. I would have preferred the white spots cut out and for the ink to dry. Maybe I'll experiment, although an expensive lesson LOL.

Angie! Thank you. It turned out perfectly. I wish I could send you a picture!
So awesome!! You can join either my Sublimation Made Simple or Cricut Love Facebook groups to share pictures!
I find that if I use my fingers around the edges of the design, it really helps pick it up off the backing.
Interesting!
Thanks for the tip on Epson printer. I have the same issue with the dtf method too
You always make videos packed with great ideas and information, I’m so grateful for you Angie! Blessings and hugs!!!❤
Thank you for the kind comment!
Any time I run into a problem, I know to come back to your videos. You're a crafting lifesaver! Thanks!
Nice video!
Something I've long wondered about is how this two-step turns out with the other printable media, like Aurora and DigiBrick. 💡
Thank you for the tutorial. I was able to print on my Epson F170 directly on the easy subli. I totally agree with you ... the mask was horrible!!! I'm going to order what you suggested.
I REALLY don't like it! HA!
Happen to have a link to the KTM mask?
Thank you so much for sharing all of your helpful tips. I appreciate it soo much!

I didn't print it on the easysubli I just cut the easysubli into a shape in that case.
Thank you for the great video and advice and tips Angie, hugs Liz ♥
How about using the easy subli with the Brother sublimation printer? Perhaps that will be your next tutorial, please!
The same techniques apply.

@Angie Holden which side I should pit the siser on my t shirt for a epson printer 2nd option
Thank you in advance. ❤️
I used easy subli though my Sawgrass 800 with sublijet ink - transferred great but feels like stiff paper - why is that??
Easy Subli sits on top of the shirt like HTV. It will feel stiff.
My Epson ecotank ET2850 won’t take the easysubli through either, so your method works perfectly for me. Thanks for sharing

You would want to print using best quality, etc. You would set your printer settings wherever you are printing from.
I will try the HTV mask if the sublimask doesn't work for me. I haven't started yet but already ordered it lol
It should help!
Why do some people recommend using print dialogue then saving it as pdf and printing from Sawgrass Smart Folder?
No idea. You can just send to sawgrass print manager or print mate.
I have the epson F170 and it prints great with the easisubli also I have no problem with subli transfer sheet.
Well I have problems with BOTH! Ha ha ha! I think maybe it is humidity but I am not sure!
Can you do this on both sides of the shirt ? Front and back in two presses? Or will putting it back in the second time ruin the first print ? Thanks!
I would probably "thread" the shirt and do both sides at different times. Threading is putting the shirt in a heat press without adding the other side of the shirt. So open the shirt up and only put one side at a time inside.
Maybe I'm missing something but what's the advantage of EasySubli over printable HTV?
Yes I’ve been wondering this too!
It actually lasts longer in my experience.
totally different feel. htv is rubbery. easysubli feels like paper. it comes out of the wash with less wrinkles too.
how soft is the easy subli on the shirt? i always find anything i use is very rigid and not particularly nice to the touch
Yea it is similar to the feel of HTV.
When I send my image to printer, if I’ve mirrored my image in design space do I have to select mirror again by printer settings?
Only mirror ONCE.
great teaching video
Thanks!
I am not getting easysubli as an option for substrate or paper in my Sawgrass print manager-any advice?
Pretty sure it is only an option if you have EasySubli inks. Not sure what you would pick for the other inks.

Can you tell us the difference of these two shirts after they’ve been through the wash?
Thanks for this video, and also for the tip on the KTM transfer mask. This sounds like it would be helpful on detailed cut out designs.
Yea I like it MUCH better after experimenting a bit!
Thanks for the video on the Easy Sublie. I did follow your instructions but I also used my Epson Eco Tank 4850 without any problems. I used my Cricut, moving the pinwheels and everything came out just fine. Keep those video coming, thanks
WHY does mine NEVER work!?!?!
Thank you for all the tips and demos. Question... Now that Brother has a sublimation printer, have you tested printing onto EasySubli with it? Just curious.
I have not PRINTED on EasySubli with it but it would work with the second method regardless.
@@AngieHolden I might try it. If I do, I will let you know how it comes out.
I'm curious if this works with the DTF hack
You would not need the DTF hack with this product.
I tried Easy Subli and got pizza wheels on every try. It was very disappointing. I have the Epsom eco tank. The second method works better with sublimating onto it but not worth the expense for me. Great video
Yep. My Ecotank either doesn't feed or gives me pizza wheel marks.
@@AngieHolden learning is an art we ‘enjoy’ through. 😁
When making a decal for a large, xl, or 2xl garment what size do you use? I have a epson et-2720 converted to sup printer? TIA.
For me, I measure each shirt and decide as the cut of the shirt makes a difference in my opinion.
Does the F-170 work like the sawgrass or do I need to use the second method?
I have not had luck with the F170 but I had people saying it worked for them so you may try it!
When cutting the easysubli on the cricut does the shiny side go up or down?
The best thing to do is to peel back the corner. You want to cut the side that feels like vinyl. The side that feels like paper is the backing.
when you cut the easy subli outline you should’ve left the contour features…it would’ve took out all that white between the letters
hi i love your video's thanks i have one question so if i use the last method i use sublimation paper first to print right? and then the siser easy sheet to iorn on first on the shirt?so the paper print can stick right? but can i use just regular white vinyl insted of the easy siser sheet then place my my sublimation paper print on top or no? still a little confused with the 2 sunbi papers 😊
Not any vinyl will work with this process. Only specific types/brands are able to be sublimated.
I have a sawgrass printer but it has sublijet ink. Can I print directly on to the easysubli paper with that ink?
You can. You may get slightly different results but it is possible.
So you can use the first method using a converted epson printer?
I haven't been able to print directly ON the EasySubli with my converted printer but i was able to transfer an image to it with heat.
this might be a weird question but i am using my epson converted printer... why do my print preferences not look anything like what you have on the screen... it is very basic even when i choose advanced settings... help
Usually that is because you do not have the correct driver installed for your printer. Head to Epson and get the right driver to see all of the options.
@@AngieHolden ty I will try that
Angie, I bought a package like yours from Siser but I thought you could use a inkjet printer. Is there such a product or did i get the wrong package. Actually, inkjet one I thought you were doing now.
This is what you want: th-cam.com/video/gLeyhJ0abXM/w-d-xo.html
I just wanted to say Thanks for this!! I wasted several sheets of Easy Subli using the Siser directions (311 degrees F). That wasn't near hot enough so the designs always looked pitiful :( The designs came out PERFECT at 385 :)
YAY! So glad!
I will pay you a million dollars to help me figure out why my Sawgrass Print Manager doesn't print. Boxes don't come up the way they should. I NEVER get the VIVID option. I know Sawgrass is a good printer but I literally can not get it to work properly. It's been over a year of trying. UGH!
They have a new PrintMate and DesignMate you can download and use instead. You may try those! Video coming tomorrow!
I am having trouble with my easy subli and my design matching up. What am I doing wrong
If you are doing it the second way, it is really by eye.
@Angie Holden my problem is it is super off. Yours looked great. I have tried to just duplicate and do a basic cut fir the subli, I have tried the offset and I still end up having to literally piece everything together.
Why does it look like your image is larger then the 6.75 , it looks as though you went to the very edge of the 8.25 paper. I didn’t think you could go that far to the edge with cricut .
You can make larger pictures using Microsoft Word app. Just paste into it and print. You can cut it by hand or have Cricut cut it.
It is the maximum size. Once the box goes around it, it will be to the edge.
@@lynnebizlyne436 But how do you then print then cut on the cricut or do you just cut it by hand?
@@suzannetoto68 there are a couple ways used the same as done with the Cricut Joy. th-cam.com/video/f0g4qrg-j94/w-d-xo.html
I could not add the second link in my response above. The edit wouldn’t work. Hope this helps you 😊 th-cam.com/video/O49xkMJzAjM/w-d-xo.html
This didn't work for me. I have been trying to use Easy Subli on cotton for months. It never weeds well. I have to try to press the graphic down. Doing that means other pieces of the pattern come up. I get so frustrated. I bought the mask from Heat Transfer since the Easy subli didn't work well for me. The Heat Transfer mask is just as bad. I did use the Circut scraper (for want of a better or the right word) tool and I go over it time and again, but it still won't adhere.
Sorry to hear that. I don't have issues with the Heat Transfer Warehouse mask.
Good day,
I've just watched your video. Awesome.
Trying to figure out why my black box does not print on my printout when I print?
I see it before I say print. But it doesn't.
You are a great teacher.
Thank you, Pat
There may be something wrong with the black in your printer.
You are such a good teacher and I love learning from you! Great answers and work arounds for beginners.
I'm so glad!
What's the feeling of the image on the shirt for the two methods?
Both feel the same. That does not change.
Hey Angie- Im not sure if you can help since your sawgrass has the siser easysubli ink ink... I have sublijet-UHD ink installed and Ive watched videos where people have printed with the subliject inks onto easysubli but then had to heat it up first like you showed... not sure how long I would have to heat/dry it with the cricut autopress before its dry enough to print and cut on the cricut?
Pretty sure those inks work as well but I don't have them. You may have to hover a bit longer but I still think it will work! One of the reasons I included that tip!
How did you add the EasiSubli material in the Print Manager "Material Options"? I don't have an EasiSubli choice....
I did because I have EasySubli inks in my Sawgrass. If you don't, try a polyester setting.
Hello, great video. I just started to use this HTV and i use the second method when you first prepress the previously cut HTV and then you print on it the paper. Hovewer i am concerned about the temperature. Now i press the HTV for 5sec on 385 and then the paper for 30sec on 385, I would like to ask if its ok and if it doesnt damage some material - i am concerned about the effect of this high temperature on some shirts. Would this work on a lower temperature like 315? Also after removing paper from the HTV is not necessary to "cure" the ink for some seconds? Thank you in advance.
You would probably have to play with each brand of HTV to get the best possible results for your setup. I am not sure about "curing" the product. It should be fine after pressing.
Great Video! I was just wondering a couple things when I print from my cricut I don’t have the option to choose print manager it just lists my sawgrass printer. So then I can’t choose any options. Also do you prefer SubliJet ink or Easy Subli ink? Thank you!
It should be listed with your printers. If it isn't, the Sawgrass was not properly installed. I would go back and run through that again. Here is a video on the ink: th-cam.com/video/TmpuKAAgfLc/w-d-xo.html
I used the second method and the used my easy press at the suggested settings and it left a “burn” mark on my shirt. Then when I tried to peel the paper off it pulled up the easysubli underneath. What did I do wrong?😢
For the burn mark, be sure to use enough paper or a Teflon sheet that the entire EasyPress is covered. Did you peel back warm? If you allow to cool, it may stick to your paper.
When u print the offset from easisubli do u put shiny side down onto ur mat? And then on which side do u sublimate?
Cut the EasySubli with the carrier sheet portion DOWN then sublimate on that same side.
@@AngieHolden thank u ☺️
Hi Angie, my sawgrass print manager doesn’t open for me when I hit print to change the setting. I’m making my item the first way. Can you help? Thank you!!
It may be opening behind Cricut Design Space. Try minimizing design space.
I am having issues with my printer printing black wheel marks down my image, like there is too much ink and not drying fast enough. How can I fix this?
Try this: th-cam.com/video/6tMxWsoO4gM/w-d-xo.html
What does it mean if you sublimate on the east subli and your sublimation color isn’t solid? Used east subli on a black shirt and came out where you can see through the east subli a little to the Kodak behind it and for the black part of my sublimation the white underneath shows through a little bit.
I have had a few people mention this and it is usually the dye in their shirt migrating through the EasySubli.
Why did you uncheck birectional printing on Epson Surecolor Printer? How do I know when I should or shouldn't uncheck this?
Always uncheck it. It is for high speed printing which you usually do not want when it comes to sublimation. There may be a few cases where you would use it.
Hey Angie,
How is the feel after wards?
Does it feel like a paper is on the shirt?
Or does it still feel like regular sub,does it look like ink is in the shirt ?
It will always feel like a layer on the shirt similar to HTV.
When you feel the easisubli, how does it feel in comparison to regular htv, or stretch htv? I usually use stretch htv if needed because it feels thinner, when I can't sublimate, but I currently have made a design that has a gradient in it and I'm having a difficult time finding an htv that will work.
It is similar to an HTV so it is thicker.
Thanks so much for your very informative tutorials. Just wondering if you did a wash test on this product and what the results were? Trying to compare the easy subli vs the easy dtv as I'm conflicted with what to get.
I did a very extensive wash test at one time. You can see that here: th-cam.com/video/gQCZRndBTI8/w-d-xo.html
Hello, love your video, when I place my EasySubli onto mat, do I place the shine side down on mat then mirror it???
No mirroring when it comes to EasySubli. I show how to cut in this video.
Does the EasySubli feel stiff once it’s put on a shirt? I like that sublimation isn’t “bulky” but I don’t want to have to put every design on white shirts.
It will feel like HTV.
Love your shirt. Is that one of your svg?
I think I got it from Creative Fabrica? Not sure!
So your video helped me wayyyyy more than any other!! I finally got to sublimate my shirt perfectly. And btw i love your shirt.
Yay! Thank you!
VERY helpful information!! Thank you so much! You=ROCKSTAR! 🎉
Thank you!
What was the heat and time setting you used on the second method?
I mentioned that in the video.
I'm having issues when I cut the easi subli on my cricut. It doesn't come off as easy. I have to pull, almost like it's perforated or not cut completely. What settings and what other hint do you have? I'm doing letters and lines on black or dark colors.
I would do some test cuts. I generally have luck with the everyday iron-on setting.
I finally used the first method today and WOW!!! My son-in-law is in musician and my daughter and I made him some merch for his show tomorrow night. The shirts turned out perfectly!
Awesome!
Thank you for the great video! I don’t get my best sub prints from design space. I’ve tried printing from other programs and cutting the offset in DS but for some reason they don’t match up. Any ideas? Thanks!
It is going to be tough to match unless both are done in design space.
