How to Make Sublimation Tote Bags (with tips and tricks!)

[@awraky1]

love it helped me save lots of tote bags 🤣

[@belyndamorris2236]

Thank you so much for the tips! Perfect timing! I am (hopefully) making a tote bag for my stepmom for Christmas. I only have one that came in a sublimation kit, so hopefully I will get it right the first time! 😁

Good luck!

[@AngieHolden]

[@mehi29]

thank you for this video . i just bought the totes with the black. can i use this with my htvr heat press? thanks for your help

[@AngieHolden]

It should work fine with that heat press.

[@tracyhubbard4637]

Hi, Angie..... thanks for another great video! Where can I buy the very cute scissors you have in the video? I don't see them in your supplies list....

[@AngieHolden]

I got them from JOANN but I think they were a limited edition!

[@saraminute]

I tried 100% polyster small pouches, and they absorbed the ink, and they r burned, turning to light yellow, do u have any advice?

[@AngieHolden]

I would use less heat and be sure to cover the entire thing with butcher paper. Sounds like you are burning the fabric.

Going to make a couple today love 💕

[@terri4657]

Hi Angie! I absolutely love all your videos. Conde (Dyetrans) is no longer in business. :( Any other recommendations for places to purchase blanks?

[@AngieHolden]

Yep! Try Heat Transfer Warehouse or Heat Press Nation!

[@barbra429]

The problem I am running into with the polyester bag is that they are too thin and flimsy to sell. If anyone knows of thicker ones, please share, thanks.

[@AngieHolden]

The black bottom one is really thick and nice!

[@barbra429]

@AngieHolden Thanks, Angie. I need all natural, but maybe that company has some. I will check. Thanks!

[@monicaphillips1801]

How did you get your design for the tote? Did you print it out on regular or sublimation paper?This is my first time and not sure how to start. Thanks

[@AngieHolden]

I printing on sublimation paper with sublimation ink from a sublimation printer.

[@barbrohmer]

Hi Angie. What temp and time did you use on the tote with the black band? Ty

[@AngieHolden]

I think 385 for 55.

Hello, Angie H! I am trying to sublimate on polyester tote bags, but my images are not coming out as crisp. I have the Epson Ecotank and recently bought the Epson ET1000. Could you please give me detailed instructions on how to set up my ET1000 for better images? I am using A Sub ink and transfer paper. I’ve downloaded the ICC profile, but I noticed when I go to color management on my laptop, it’s reverting back to the default every time I add it. I’m also using photoshop. Any help with setting that up for better images will be greatly appreciated. Thank you…TIE J

[@AngieHolden]

A profile will not make the images more crisp. Try doing a print head alignment.

[@Tie-ts7zl]

Ok, I will do that. One more question, what is the best laptop I can use. I currently have an older model Asus. Could an old laptop contribute to mediocre images? Thank you.

[@TheGeekster08]

@@Tie-ts7zl A laptop won't contribute to image quality, it'll just print what you tell it to print. If you ever "upsize" an image, it will lose fidelity and become blurry, try to avoid making any images larger than they are natively

I cannotfindthe book one???

[@20ktina]

Is heat paper butcher paper or parchment paper?

[@20ktina]

Also can you reuse the paper?

[@AngieHolden]

You can reuse as long as you don't get any ink on it. Protective paper information here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKOog5Zjbretfac
