    If you don’t have a large printer, can you do more than one press or piece the project together (with heat resistant tape) and do it in one press? I’m looking at the garden flag! Also, can you put the design on both sides of the flag?

    • @CraftyLeoCooks
      @CraftyLeoCooks 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can piece pages together to achieve the desired size. The garden flags are so thin I wouldn't recommend printing both sides unless you make your own doing cut and sew

    @isabelle5145 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    QUESTION for you- I am trying to sublimate a hand fan... and I want it to be a solid color with some words on the front.. for example yellow background and it says hello.. would i print out the picture then cut it to exactly the fan size, even though it's a little bumpy? How would I get it to fit perfectly? Or would I also do two layers? First the yellow, and then the words? Or do you know something that's not a fan that I could imitate for sublimation? I searched everywhere on youtube, but you guys teach it best!!

My husband is a computer/tech guy, he even tried everything and it’s still not printing mirrored. So I have to put it in PowerPoint and print it mirrored. I don’t understand why I’m having this issue.

      Sublimation, or dye sublimation printing, is a process where you use a special printer, special inks, and special paper to create a design to put on a variety of blank products.
