This tutorial is just what I was looking for. I’m so over DS these days. Every update breaks something else, so much so I don’t even enjoy crafting anymore! It was suppose to be fun & relaxing and over past year has just become a source of aggravation. Is there another program we can use with the Cricut Maker or do I need to look at a new cutter? TIA.

[@CorinneBlackstone]

You can’t cut from other programs with cricut but you can design in other programs

[@donelleraj9851]

May I ask why you print on Inkscape and not directly from canva?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

I found for me I just prefer the sizing in Inkscape. I found a lot of times regardless of how big I saved it from canva a lot of times it was printing at the wrong size. It's likely a printer setting for me that I need to find and change but I have yet to find it. But if you get the right sizes from canva by all means for sure print there! I didn't have any issues with color or quality at all.

[@roseblanc8899]

thank you so so much you're really my God sent thank you my dear!

[@GiGi_2518]

Thanks Corinne! You explained Canva very well. I don't have a sublimation printer; do you think I could accomplish something similar with infusible ink?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

Not really infusible ink is pre printed sheets so you could cut shapes out and piece them together but it won’t look is this as seamless

[@minervabaez3681]

Can you print a Canva design on a regular printer? For example, HP Officejet or HP Deskjet.

[@CorinneBlackstone]

Yes

Awesome! Thank you so much! Btw, the explanation of your videos is easy to follow and understand Excellent instructor!

One more thing. I just purchased the HTV rand heat press, and I would like to make designs on canvas for sublimation. That said, can I still print on a regular printer? I was under the impression we need to use a sublimation paper is that correct? I don’t know the process I would appreciate your guidance.

[@CorinneBlackstone]

@@minervabaez3681 sublimation requires a printer with sublimation ink and then sublimation paper. You cannot use inkjet ink for sublimation at all

[@cynthiaguy36]

I learned sooo much with this tutorial; Thank You! I'm brand new to sublimation so I have a couple questions for you. When doing sublimation on small items, can we simply use one of the small Cricut heat press or does a sublimation printer have to be used for sublimation? And this is an odd question, but again I'm new... what makes it sublimation? I think you just printed out the pdf image but maybe I missed you talking about where and how to use infusible ink, so can you tell me how to get it to be sublimation? Is it just the ink and where / how do you do it?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

You can use the cricut mini press it goes to 400 degrees on the highest setting. Sublimation is a special ink that actually dyes the polyester in the blank making it permanent. Infusible ink is just cricuts preprinted sublimation sheets. I have a huge playlist all about sublimation that I think will help you understand how it works and what you need to use for sublimation
