Thank you very much..so many customer request i brought this flock htv hoping it would work now im researching and came across your video thank u ....im so excited to try this now.!!!
I purchased the skull and put the Phillies cap and mask on in photoshop. All my years as a professional photographer and high end retoucher are finally paying dividends... lol
Omg thanks for this video! I’ve been doing a lot of research and was so relived to come across this video! ThNks! And love the skull design btw. It’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥
LOVE THE WORK. I'm a Silhouette user myself and i find it to be better than the Cricut. It's more easier to learn and gives you more space to design in and size. Cricut has limited designing space like what your showing now you would not be able to do in Design Space cricut.
I've never used a Cricut. I started with the Silhouette that only cut 8.5x11 but then upgraded to the Cameo 4.. I'm thinking about upgrading again to cut larger designs.
I'm kinda cheap - lol - I print as much as I can on each sheet and save all remnants so one day I was bored and said, let me try this...... I had my fingers crossed after I pulled the swatch out of the washer but to my surprise, the ink held up!
I’m sold!! I found out about it but wasn’t sure about it until watched your video!! Just saying since you have posted such a good detailed without all the waste of time nonsense video. You should post a link to sale this stuff and earn something since you are marketing such a good video for them!!
Nice work. I have a cricut and the cameo, but have a hard time cutting on the cameo. The process you used in cameo I tried...however it won't cut right. I think its my settings, cricut is a lot easier to set...I have some work to do to learn the ins/outs of cameo..lol🤪🤪
do you have a video of your print and cut process? i cant figure out how to cut the picture without it getting stuck on the mat and cutting the image on the flock.
@@jessicahornig3332 I am actually putting together a new video that shows the entire process from start to finish. It was supposed to be done this week but I had to get an emergency root canal so I just got back to editing it today. I think it should be up by Monday!
How are the shirts after a bunch of washes? I bought polyester by the yard before seeing this video. This is much better because it already has the backing to stay on the shirt.
The colors stay vibrant for a very long time. The shirts I used in these videos I wear at least once a week, even when it's hot outside so they get washed at least 3 times per month. Colors still very vibrant.
Love the video. Do you mind me asking what size for offset for the sublimation image and what what temp and time when you press the sublimation image onto the flock?
Hi Kimberly. The temp and time really depends on your press. I'm using 396 degrees for 60 seconds. I used to have a press that ran hotter and when I did my time and temp was different; 390 for 55 seconds. The amount of "Internal Offset" you use is determined by how much of the white flock you want showing. I typical use an internal offset of 0.015 or 0.025 Hope this helps.
Wow.. wonderful information.. I'm glad I came across your video. Where can I purchase the flock htv from? Thank you for sharing.. Will check out some of your other videos.
Hi, great question and with my limited experience I'm not sure you can that's the reason why businesses make tons of money selling you the base layer (white) that you sublimate all the other colors on. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. I guess I still have potholes in my lawn! lol
I’m not sure if you’re wanting to have completely white on white, but I read where someone said earlier on another post, to just have your machine set to “cut” when using the white sub paper/base and voila! lol Idk if that helps. If you’re wanting white to show up on white shirt, you’d have to add a text with a thin colored boarder. ☺️
INNOVATORS thats whats up!. Quick question...i dont think you posted any info on procedures or the technical stuff . ie., Temp, Time, Pressure, ink, or subpaper,? That would really be a good help ...thank you!
Hi Paa G, time and temp for the flock is whatever the flock manufacturer you use suggests. Sublimation paper is ASub 125G, pressing onto the flock at 400 for 60 seconds. I'm not promoting the ink brand because I have not had a good experience with them.
Hello really enjoyed the video!! Quick what kind of Flock are you using? Cause just tried and mine is not as vibrant as yours look? And where do you purchase from? Is It B-flex flock
Hi, So here's what I'm beginning to learn with the flock. You may have to lint brush it after you peel the carrier and some finer blends or lower weight fabrics tend to bleed more into the flock than do heavier weight stuff. Amazon.. A brand called Essmo
Could you make another video like this but with you pressing and cutting and the whole nine so we can see step by step. I’m not new to sublimation but it was just a little confusing because the sublimation paper goes behind the carrier sheet I think u was saying and that just didn’t seem right. So please make a more in depth video if you will. Thanks
Hi, I've never used affinity and I started using photoshop in 2001 so it would be very hard from me to give an overview of anything broad within the application, but something specific - I can probably explain a lot better. My skillset in photoshop has been layered year after year. I can most likely answer - howto questions with no problem.
Thank you for this video great explanation I was curious if I would be able to sub onto flock so again thank you so much! I do have one question ofr you do you use any brand of flock or a specific brand?
Hi.. Thanks and yes. The flock is used as the white base so you can sublimate on dark color clothing. So basically what is happening is; you're going to create your sublimation design the same way you always do and when you press it, you're pressing it onto the flocked vinyl (which has already been pressed on your dark garment.)
Hi, I would tend to agree, depending on the weight of the T-Shirt. In my opinion, flock is good for T's that are 5.5oz or heavier. I think a left chest logo is fine if it's 3x3 or smaller.
What color is your garment? You also have to keep in mind that flock is not fully opaque so you may be getting bleed through of your garment color which is dulling down your colors. I've seen in happen with some of the darker colored hoodies or tees.
How did you get the image to be so big?? I know when I use print/cut option in design space it limits you to 6.75x (I forget the other size) which is really small for a hoodie.
I have to be honest with you. The easiest way now a days is to figure out what you're trying to do then search YT for a tutorial. I've been using PS since 2001 ( I remember because it was right before 9/11 happened ) and I still don't know how to do everything. Back then I used to spend entire weekends just going through the menus and tools and learning what they did. Most of my knowledge comes from when I was a photographer and had to retouch images and design magazine covers. Everything else I've learned has come in bits and pieces.
I'm not sure, unless you're not selecting around the entire image. Be mindful that lighter color edges sometimes don't get picked up by the trace tool.
@@SirDodge So I tried using sublimation with HTV glitter. And OMG!! I love how it came out. Thank you so much for sharing all this information. Really appreciate it! 💜
It is easiest (for me) to tack down the flock first which is about 325 for 15 seconds then lay the sub print on top of the flock and press 400 for 60 seconds.
Tried that but mines did not come out as vivid as yours, what flock HTV are you using. I used Siser flocked pro with Cosmo's ink, pressed @ 356 for 60 seconds and sublimated twice and still looks faded.
Dodge Appreciate... Quick question. How do I get the colors brighter? I use CorelDraw. Designs are great on everything else and even good on the flock just dont pop like that skull joint. Again appreciate
@@SirDodge The same both Cosmos and Asub... Also using Epson ET2720 and WF7720... Also using Siser Flock... How can I double up on ink? Or suggested time and temp? Again appreciate for taking time to reach back... SALUTE
@@RealRight562 When I sublimate on Flocked HTV I press the flocked on the garment at the vendors recommended settings then press the sublimation at 394 degrees for 60 seconds. When I press using easysubli I tack press the easysubli on the garment at 315 for 15 seconds and then press the sublimation at 394 for 60 seconds. I would suggest you make sure you're not using the Cosmos .icc color profile when printing and instead use either RBG 1.8 or RBG 2.2
I don't use CorelDraw, I use Photoshop. I used to be a professional photographer and high end retoucher so there are some things that I do unconsciously when it come to exporting files for better colors. I'm gonna get nerdy here but most people don't know the difference between RGB and CMYK color spaces. Most of what we're seeing on screen is RGB but we're printing from a CMYK device and that alone is going to shift colors; and sometimes quite a bit.
Hi, cut and press the flock normally, then mirror your graphic before printing, cut the graphic then press onto the flock. It may seem confusing until you try it. Once you go through the process a couple of times you'll figure it out, it's fairly easy.
You wtf?? Can I use siser flocked vinyl? How do I print on it when you load it in the printer since they come in rolls? I’m literally about to receive my eco tank 1500 and I NEED to know how to print on flocked vinyl because I already use cameo and make vinyl designs! Can you you please make a video or you printed on the flocked vinyl and transferring on a shirt?
Hi, this example IS NOT with siser flocked vinyl and I'm not sure if you can use that brand. I also do not print on the flock itself, I press on the flock. The flock is cut and pressed on the shirt, then the design is printed on sublimation paper and pressed/transferred to the flock. It's a Cut / Press / Print / Cut & Press process. Cut the flock, press the flock, print the design, cut the design and press the design. I have a video that explains the process here: th-cam.com/video/blfIV28GO2o/w-d-xo.html
@@adriannawalker1186 search Amazon for a brand called JD Essmo. Or try eBay. i don’t think the siser brand produces the same results. It may have something to do with the polyester count in the actual flock itself.
Hi, I have only tried the one brand and it was actually by accident! I was playing around with some flock remnants then threw it in the wash every time I did a load of laundry.
Hi, this is the flock that I used but it looks like it's currently unavailable on amazon.. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NVZYV6S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a question for ya all- so I have absolutely no problems sublimating on easysubli but my question is how in the world can we sublimate on easysubli with a split image taped together? I have tried sooo many different ways and cant not get that line where the tape is, to not sublimate on it as well,no matter if I overlap the 2 pcs or if they a100% flush and taped with no light coming thru. I just can not get that line to not press. But it does not press into my shirts. I dont know what I'm doing wrong....pls help if u can.
I'm not sure. Skyblue may indeed work but your color rendition will be different because of it and you'd have to do a wash test to make sure the colors hold. I'm not sure why this flock white works; I just know it does.
Hi, I didn't know there was a difference. I have used this white flock on other designs just as flocked vinyl and one day I got bored and said to myself, let me see if this works and what the hell.... it worked!
Hi Angela, I'm not using a "subli flock" in this video. This is just a regular flocked HTV. The brand is: Essmo. I don't know if it's the printer or the ink. My belief is that it's the ink. I'm married to the ink I currently use so switching isn't an option, lol.
I'm not sure I understand your question. I'm using a brand of flocked vinyl named Essmo. I cut the flock design and sublimate (using sub paper) onto the flock. Step 1: Cut the flock to desired shape. Step 2: Heat Press the flock onto the garment. Step 3: Print out your sublimation design onto sublimation paper. Step 4: Cut your sublimation print. Step 5: Press your sublimation onto the flock that is already pressed onto your garment. Hopefully that helps.
@@SirDodge Sorry i thought you were using Flock HTV created by the Company B FLEX. Most videos i see for sublimation shows the person printing their design directly to the sublimation printer than either masking it with transfer paper, or just slapping it on the garment and heat pressing it. I dont know what is flock so thats why im confused. Thank you.
You can however; if you tack it first you run the risk of the easy subli shrinking and if that happens you'll be hard pressed to line up your print correctly; so your white border or "offset" might be uneven.
this is probably one of the best detailed video about sublimation on flock...100%
Glad it was helpful!

You wtf?? Can I use siser flocked vinyl? How do I print on it when you load it in the printer since they come in rolls? I’m literally about to receive my eco tank 1500 and I NEED to know how to print on flocked vinyl because I already use cameo and make vinyl designs! Can you you please make a video or you printed on the flocked vinyl and transferring on a shirt?
Hi, this example IS NOT with siser flocked vinyl and I'm not sure if you can use that brand. I also do not print on the flock itself, I press on the flock. The flock is cut and pressed on the shirt, then the design is printed on sublimation paper and pressed/transferred to the flock. It's a Cut / Press / Print / Cut & Press process. Cut the flock, press the flock, print the design, cut the design and press the design. I have a video that explains the process here: th-cam.com/video/blfIV28GO2o/w-d-xo.html
@@SirDodge oh ok awesome yes that makes a lot of sense now I was confused about the process for a second! Thanks for replying!
How do you yet it so bright? I've tried this and its not bright at all and it burns the flock
Hi Jessayca, which brand of flocked vinyl are you using?
@@SirDodge the paper studio. From Hobby Lobby.
@@jessaycahardy7671 I'm using a brand of flocked vinyl that I purchased from Amazon. The name of it is; Essmo.
@@SirDodge ok thank you! I will get on Amazon and check it out!
I used flock & mine wasn’t vibrate! Should I try 400 for 60 seconds instead of 385?
Hi, what brand of flock are you using? They aren't all created equally. The brand I used in this video is called Essmo.. Got it from Amazon.
@@SirDodge I don’t even know I got it from the local store in my city but I think it’s siser
@@adriannawalker1186 search Amazon for a brand called JD Essmo. Or try eBay. i don’t think the siser brand produces the same results. It may have something to do with the polyester count in the actual flock itself.
@@SirDodge ok thanks!
You in Philly🤔
Yes
Have you tried more than one brand of flocked vinyl? Do you think it matters?
Hi, I have only tried the one brand and it was actually by accident! I was playing around with some flock remnants then threw it in the wash every time I did a load of laundry.
In your opinion the flock is better than subli or what you think????
It really depends on what you're applying it to. The subli will help your colors pop more than flock but the flock has a better hand than subli.
@@SirDodge thanks man 🤙🏻
Can I ask u what brand the flock is?
Hi, this is the flock that I used but it looks like it's currently unavailable on amazon.. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NVZYV6S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a question for ya all- so I have absolutely no problems sublimating on easysubli but my question is how in the world can we sublimate on easysubli with a split image taped together? I have tried sooo many different ways and cant not get that line where the tape is, to not sublimate on it as well,no matter if I overlap the 2 pcs or if they a100% flush and taped with no light coming thru. I just can not get that line to not press. But it does not press into my shirts. I dont know what I'm doing wrong....pls help if u can.
Did u use regular flock vinyl or subli flock
Hi, not subli flock.
@@SirDodge 😊
≥Thank you, Can you use sky blue flock for sublimation or just white?
I'm not sure. Skyblue may indeed work but your color rendition will be different because of it and you'd have to do a wash test to make sure the colors hold. I'm not sure why this flock white works; I just know it does.
@@SirDodge Thank you, I will for sure try it.
Does the HTV have to be sublimation flock or can it be just regular flock. I’ve seen both.
Hi, I didn't know there was a difference. I have used this white flock on other designs just as flocked vinyl and one day I got bored and said to myself, let me see if this works and what the hell.... it worked!
@@SirDodge I was looking up flock and saw sublimation and regular. Thanks for the info. I’m from SW so I have nothing but love for what you’re doing.
@@3cdesignz152 Thanks. I’m out the far NE. The brand I use is Essmo or JDEssmo.
where do you buy your flock vinyl from. All im finding is colored flock vinyl
You should be able to find it on Amazon or eBay.
Have you tried other colors of flock?
Where do I find the subi flock and does the siser easy sub only work with sawgrass printer
Hi Angela, I'm not using a "subli flock" in this video. This is just a regular flocked HTV. The brand is: Essmo. I don't know if it's the printer or the ink. My belief is that it's the ink. I'm married to the ink I currently use so switching isn't an option, lol.
So are you using a b flex flock HTV? So if it's sublimation are you using sublimation paper, I'm sorry i'm new to this.
I'm not sure I understand your question. I'm using a brand of flocked vinyl named Essmo. I cut the flock design and sublimate (using sub paper) onto the flock. Step 1: Cut the flock to desired shape. Step 2: Heat Press the flock onto the garment. Step 3: Print out your sublimation design onto sublimation paper. Step 4: Cut your sublimation print. Step 5: Press your sublimation onto the flock that is already pressed onto your garment. Hopefully that helps.
@@SirDodge Sorry i thought you were using Flock HTV created by the Company B FLEX. Most videos i see for sublimation shows the person printing their design directly to the sublimation printer than either masking it with transfer paper, or just slapping it on the garment and heat pressing it. I dont know what is flock so thats why im confused. Thank you.
Wash durability please?
Have no worries. It'll hold up. I have a couple of designs that I wash at least once a week and the colors look great.
@@SirDodge 👍
So you don’t tack the vinyl first?
You can however; if you tack it first you run the risk of the easy subli shrinking and if that happens you'll be hard pressed to line up your print correctly; so your white border or "offset" might be uneven.
Will this work on cotton? And where did you order this from
Cotton Shirt, Flock Base, Sublimation Ink - Yes!
Is there a link to where u get your flock from?
Hi, I got it from Amazon. A brand called Essmo.
Where can I buy the flocked vinyl?
I'm using a brand called Essmo or JDEssmo, try amazon, it's there.
Where can i get the viynl more than 10 inches wide
I would try amazon. Most vinyl I get is 12" wide. I get 20" flock sometimes.
Thank you
