Can the HTVRont Auto Heat Press Sublimate on Ceramic Items?

[@silhouettesuccess]

These turned out so good! I love the idea of using them for gift tags!

[@sweetblushau]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@chill3561]

This was such an interesting tutorial. You are one clever lady!

[@sweetblushau]

Many thanks for watching and for your kind feedback, I really appreciate it. I'm so pleased you found this video informative. Xxxx

Interesting. I just started using my brand new HTVRont and it actually goes up to 199-seconds. Great video!

[@sweetblushau]

Thanks you for watching, and for your lovely feedback ,it's much appreciated. How wonderful that HTVRont updated the timing to go up to 199 seconds! I purchased my heat press when it was in the kickstarter phase, so it was one of the first to be manufactured . I'm glad they listened to the feedback and updated it.

Thanks for the great tutorial! I am going to give this a try today.

[@sweetblushau]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@DUCKSJO]

thank you for the tutorial. I'm actually working on doing some of these as memorials - my sister passed two weeks ago and I wanted to make memorials for my other siblings.

[@sweetblushau]

I'm so sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace. I'm pleased the tutorial is helpful for you. All the very best.

[@DUCKSJO]

Thank you @@sweetblushau

Hello! I’m able to print 6 ornaments on one sheet of paper, then cut out and I secure the paper to the ornament using 2 small pieces of tape (one on each side) and you’re able to pull the paper tight, so there’s no movement when opening the press.

[@sweetblushau]

That's great to know! Thanks for the tip! I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@leeorrphotography]

What kind of paper were you using to wrap? Was it parchment paper? I didn't catch that. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I have the HTVront and have been trying without luck to get my cereamics to work.

[@sweetblushau]

Thank you so much for watching, it's much appreciated. I used butcher paper.

[@trishlee1537]

What mat do you have on your HTVRONT

[@sweetblushau]

Thanks for watching,I really appreciate it. I got a generic 15 x 15 heat press mat from Amazon a couple of years ago. I suggest looking for the best deal you can find.

[@trishlee1537]

The original mat that I have that came with it I do have the red mat if you think that makes a difference

[@AdeleL09]

What mat are you using please?

[@sweetblushau]

I'm using a 15" x 15" heat press mat. You can find them easily on Amazon.

[@AdeleL09]

I have one already the same size but it doesn’t seem to be high enough.

[@KreativTouch]

Question: I couldn't tell for sure but did you remove the heat pad from the press?

[@sweetblushau]

Hi there and thanks for watching! I.did remove the heat pad that comes with the heat press and replaced it with a black 15 x 15 heat pad that is not soft like the HTVRont one, but also is featured on other heat presses. I hope that makes sense? I got mine from Amazon

[@KreativTouch]

@@sweetblushau thanks for responding! I may need to look into something like that myself!

[@sweetblushau]

A pleasure! The heat press works better with a firmer pad.

[@joycemclaurin1704]

@@sweetblushau Did the original pad cause shadows to the design after sublimating? I’m having shadow issues, just used it one time on 100% polyester t towels from Hobby Lobby. I have contacted the service dept. waiting for response. I thank you for your time.

[@sweetblushau]

​@joycemclaurin1704 Sorry for late response. I still have my original heat pad from the heat press. I use the original pad for textile type blanks, and I use my firm 15 x 15 heat pad for rigid items. I strongly suggest taping the item to the sub paper as firmly as you can, and that way you may get less ghosting. I hope this helps!

[@paloupis]

I just got my HTVront press and tried the ornaments but the back side of the ornament has yellow lines from the heat tape.

[@sweetblushau]

What a bummer about the heat tape marks! I attached the tape to the sub paper rather than the back of the ornaments. Sometimes the heat tapes are poor quality too, but we'd have no way of knowing. Hopefully next time you try you don't get marks. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.

[@jaimiebanks3179]

Are the ceramic ornaments sublimation ready or are they just regular ceramic?

[@sweetblushau]

Hi Jamie thanks for watching, it's much appreciated. These are sublimation ready ceramic ornaments.

[@jaimiebanks3179]

@@sweetblushauTy for the answer! Love the video, its very helpful

[@sweetblushau]

You are most welcome! I am so pleased you found this video helpful! :-)

[@Spookymamaa]

I just ordered this press and I’m making ceramic ornaments as well. Hoping it doesn’t crack them 😭

[@sweetblushau]

Thank you so much for watching. Have fun with your new press, and all the best with your projects.

[@Salialto]

Super cute! BTW - I don't think the teflon sheet is necessary. Butcher paper is all you should need. And then you shouldn't have any issue with sticking in between presses.

[@sweetblushau]

Thanks for watching and for your tip! I appreciate it! :-)
