Wow thats amazing iv just subcribed love it ♥️👌
Great video and step by step instructions. Thank you!
One question: I noticed that when you were first placing the laminate on the canvas, you paused and then turned the laminate over. Which side of the laminate did you choose to be touching the canvas vs facing up to be sublimated later? By the way you switched your original placement, I'm guessing there is a difference in the sides.
I usually try to do glossy side out
@@SouthpawsStudio 👍🏼 Thanks for the quick reply.
I just found your channel today and subscribed. I look forward to learning more from you.
WOW DIDN’T KNOW YOU CAN DO THAT. Thanks for the tips. It looks awesome 👏
You bet!
Two questions: Is the picture printed in the laser printer or regular? Can I use iron since I don't have that device?
over time have you found that the laminate will pull off something like a tile? It's a fairly smooth surface so I was curious if you've had experience over time on that.
Would this work on faux leather ?
My laminate bubbled in spots. Any idea why? Thanks.
Awesome
Thanks, I appreciate it!
What is the purpose of the additional sheets of copy paper?
Just to protect the heat press, to be honest.
THAT WAS NIIICE!!! I have a few questions though...When using the laminate sheet should I use the whole laminate page or use just I single sheet of the laminate page? Also, can I use a cricut easy press 2 instead of a heat press machine? And were you ever able to sublimate on a ceramic tile with success? I'd appreciate your responses.
I use one side of the laminate. I haven't tried the tile again recently. The Cricut press will do just fine.
@@SouthpawsStudio Thank you so much!
Get some loop rotary cutters to remove excess paper 😃
I keep getting dust trapped which turns into little blue squiggles just like on garments. How do you remove that from lamination sheets/rolls?
Could I ask please, would this application work on fabric at all?
For fabric, I would recommend DyePress products. It's faster and easier to apply with better results.
@@SouthpawsStudio Thank you so much I will see where i can find this.
Great video subscribed 👍
Where were the laminate sheets purchased ?!
Just kidding! Saw it in the description!
Will it work on 100% cotton t shirts
You wouldn't want to use laminate. I would use Polycrylic over laminate for fabrics
Where you get your tape holder
Can I do this process using a Cricut Heat Press?
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.
This is the BEST tutorial for sublimating with laminate!! thank you so much for being specific with products time and temps that you use that is the most important! I am making business cards with 110lb card stock and I can not wait to see the results!!
Great minds thinks alike.
I'm planning the same thing and was wondering what is the thickness (mil) of laminate being used?
@@candyluv6972 it’s 3 mil. I bought the clear of the same brand.
what do you think would happen if you put the laminate on cotton fabric ? Have u tried that ?
It won't stick. Cotton fibers will not adhere to the laminate. However, I did just watch a video that shows them sublimating the JetPro Opaque sheets with some success.
One of the better videos, decent editing (I don't want 2 minutes and another 2 minutes of video pointed at the heat press).
This was actually my very first video.. my newer ones are MUCH more polished
Why does mine have water like stuff under the image It looks like?
I would pre-press your materials to remove any moisture and check the humidity of the room you store and use everything in?
I need something to do this in a glass cylinder. Any idea how to do that?
Also have you ever used the same phot twice or is it best to print another photo.
I always print another for best results.
This is great, thank you. Does the laminate adhere for a long time or is there any lifting of the laminate sheet from the substrate, especially around the edges, as time goes by?
Seems fine to me. I haven't had any issues with it.
Lol that spongebob picture
We wanted a key hanger with hooks with the "Imma head out" meme on it.. Great Success!
Would you rather this method or polycrylic method
I actually have another video coming out soon to compare the differences between: Polycrylic, Laminate, Oracal, HTV and PolyGloss
are all laminating pouches polyester?
To my knowledge, yes.
i feel like it would be easier to cut if you got a rotary cutter. thanks for this
he also could use his cutting board he have before putting it on the heat press
What side of laminate do you put on canvas
I usually do glossy side facing outwards.
Is the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Fahrenheit
One of the best tutorials I have seen, thank you so much
I would love to see how to prep a piece of metal to be sublimated
Question can u do a video on how to sublimate using laminate on Corrugated Yard Signs... need help ASAP..
Lamination
Would this work in shirts?
Technically, yes, but I wouldn't. I would use a product like Poly T Plus or Pro.
Awesome video! Can you do this on fabric and/or on metal?
Every time I try to put a laminate sheet on canvas I have bubbles. Can anyone help me with this? Would also like to mention I’m using an easy press vs heat press. Is this my issue?
Had anyone tried this on slate? I wonder would air bubbles get trapped behind the laminate saying the surface is textured?
Thank you for keeping the process simple and precise.
Can you do this on T shirts? I just started and didn't know about the cotton not taking sublimation. I would love to not be out in 300$ of shirts
Great video! You can measure the laminate to the size of the canvas - Save time!!
Doe she laminate stick to pretty much anything flat?
Basically, yes.
Would it hurt it if the picture got wet, since you are sublimating on polyester film?
Can you Laminate printable vinyl ? if so how , i tried and the laminate bubbled up
Heat laminating sheet on 350 degrees for 120 seconds
Is there anyways to sublimate on silicone watch bands??
Nice.ive experiment with many ways to try and do this but had no success.you found an awesome way to make this happen.after work today I'm going to have to give this a shot.
How much would you sell something like this for?
what side are you using? the shiny or cloudy?
shiny
Thank you for the great tutorials! I'm new to sublimation, and you've really helped me a lot. I have a question, though, and I'm hoping you'll have an answer. I tried this on a few small pictures and they came out wonderful. Then I tried it with a 5x7 picture of my mom and dad, and the black in the picture (they were wearing wet suits) came out - well, "burnt looking" is the best I can explain it. There's almost a brown film over the black. I don't know if it's something with my color settings for the print, or something with my heat press settings. Any suggestions?
Too much heat? I usually do them at 375 instead of the usual 400.
@@SouthpawsStudio I'm going to try that tonight. I also followed your tutorial to adjust my color settings, so maybe the combination of the two will do it. Thanks again! Also, I made an AMAZING floor mat, following your directions. I even got really creative and made the design three sheets, so it filled the entire center of the mat. My friend was so tickled with it. Thanks for making me look like a pro!!!
Have you tried this method on the Adhesive Magnetic Sheets?
I'm not an expert but wouldn't it be much cheaper, cleaner and less time consuming if you just apply a coat of off-the-shelf 2-component polyester resin on top of whatever flat, cleaned surface you want? Should work on raw aluminum, wood and everything else that would withstand the heat of the dye-sublimation transfer. Besides, you wouldn't need to cure twice and potentially warp it the material. Furthermore, the bond of the resin would be far greater than the heat activated glue.
To my knowledge, poly resin is only stable to 60*C, not nearly hot enough for the sublimation process to begin.
I tried the lamination on canvas and my have a bow in them, how can I make them flat?
A game changer is this, what micron is the laminate you use.
COOLEST thing since sliced bread. Everyone is getting one of these for Christmas next year! GRACIAS!!
Yep, it's a nifty little trick.
So do you think you can do a tshirt with laminate???
Do you think this would work for mugs and stainless tumblers?
It should, in theory.
Did you get around to trying this on mugs/tumblers?
I would LOVE to sublimate on a
100% cotton shirt...could someone help a girl out with the time and temp for the laminating sheet and the time and temp for the sublimation design. Thanks! 😉
You would want a coating meant for fabrics, like PolyT Pro
Can u do this on wedding acrylic invitations?
I have been wanting to start doing sublimation...I have a question about this particular process; does it matter which side of the laminate you place against the canvas...(outside of laminating pouch or inside of laminating pouch)
You'll want to do the inside down so it tacks to the substrate.
Thanx, it's really means a lot to me' fantastic!
Can someone please help me figure out why my doesn’t work. I’m using an oak board that I planed myself. The clear sheet bubbled when I tried to heat it on the wood. What would cause that? Thanks!!
The moisture from the wood, my guess!
did you put shiny side of laminate sheet up or down
Spectacular results!!! I just got a printer that I will convert when my ink comes in and can't wait to play:) Learning a lot from you!
Have fun!
hello Southpaw STUDIO. this is one of the best subscriptions I Joined. Your presentations are great. I like the laminate idea. Here is my question. I have been wanting to subloimate on a dollar tree pint glass for beer. Can I put a layer of laminate on the glass, shrinkwrap the laminate and then sublimate on the glass? That would be great. What temp should I do the laminate? for how long.
I'm not 100% sure.. I've never tried laminate on drinkware of any kind.
is this the same laminate used on IDs?
I can't tell you just how much this video helped me. A few years ago I was at a closeout store (Marc's) and found 5 ROLLS about 24" X 3" diameter of laminate material for $2.99 each. These have just been sitting on my shelf gathering dust & occasionally laminating important documents. WOW, the possibilities that you have opened for me are ASTOUNDING! Thank You So Much! I can't wait to try this process! My opportunities are almost endless & I probably have enough laminate for the rest of my life!
Always glad to hear it!
Can you sublimate on acrylic?
I’ve just started trying the canvas this week. Thank you for this very good info!!
So, when you say "ANYTHING"... Can this same technique be used on 100% cotton shirts? Will you please make a video on that if it's possible?
I wouldn't do it on fabric. Laminate would look and feel cheap compared to a better solution such as Poly-T Plus.
Can you use this process for t-shirts?
you killed it thanks for the ideal and you now have a new sub!!!!!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Can you use any brand of lament sheets
My wife brought up a good point. Why not trim the excess laminate AFTER you press the sublimation?
I was always afraid the laminate would stick to the paper
I saw you use several sheets of paper before pressing the picture, can you explain what they were (underneath and on top of canvas)
Usually something like this:
Butcher Paper > Copy Paper > Substrate > Copy Paper > Butcher Paper
I tried this, but its coming out kind of wrinkly. Like there are squiggles in the laminate before I put the sub paper on it. What am I doing wrong?
You know what... i think its the texture of the canvas.... i feel dumb hahaha. Leaving this up for the laughs.
Hi. I keep trying this on a flat canvas board but mine comes out “wrinkled”. Any tips to avoid the film wrinkling when it’s pressed? Thank you!
On canvas, it will slightly take the form of the canvas, so small wrinkles are just part of it.
I use my weeding tool and make a small hole into the bubble, use a felted squeegee to remove bubbles and put back under heat for 90 seconds. Removes the bubbles and wrinkles for me.
Will this work with a laserprint?
hello nice video! When using Cosmos ink what your printer settings on to
get the best ink display
There's actually a video of that on my channel about colors that goes through all of that.
I appreciate the length of the video and instruction. I am a new subscriber.
Thanks for the sub!
Not only is this a great video, the title SAYS IT ALL and for that you won me over and get a subscribe and it’s a great video!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
What pressure was used on heat press?
Enjoying your videos.....trying to figure out how to get a piece of wood white without paint to sublimate on it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Than you!
Home Depot has White painted MDF, which may work well for you. Wal-Mart has some nifty things in the craft section, which is where I found those photo frames.
Can this be done on a cotton t-shirt?
What laminate
Will any brand of laminate sheets work for this?
Yes
@@DaSesh thank you
If I use laminate to sublimate on wood, do I need to paint the wood white first?
th-cam.com/video/YESvZYYFSLE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Southpaw%27sStudio
can you use both sides of the sheets and what side do you put face down on the substraight?
Smooth Sides out, rough side against substrate.
This video was so helpful learning sublimation Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Would this work on a t shirt
Hi i like your video. Can i use any laminate for this or its a special laminate
Almost any laminate works fine!
How do you know which side to use if the lamination sheet it goes it matter?
I usually do glossy side facing outwards.
Very cool, I imagine if you want a matte finish you could spray with a matte spray
There are also matte laminating pouches.
Awesome video, thank you. I have a bunch of tiles, I assume I can do the same on them?
Yes you can!
is it shinny side up or down.
Can this clear laminate be used on a piece of picture frame glass and sublimate on it? I don't want a white background - it needs to be clear as its in a shadow box.
yes, that should 100% work
the laminate sheets? glossy down?
Either way, it should "melt" into the surface.
Awesome Tips, Thank You from Newfoundland, Canada.
Hi. Would it be the same exact process for Wood Slices?
Personally, I prefer Polycrylic on Wood Slices. Laminate makes them a little "too" glossy..
