HOW TO SUBLIMATE ON CANVAS WITH A LAMINATING SHEET

[@lizawilliams5567]

I did a canvas like this for the first time and it came out beautiful no wrinkles on the laminate sheet. Thanks for sharing

[@michelehuling728]

I followed these steps using the flat canvases, my htv ront auto press at 385 and mine came out absolutely beautiful - SO- I think the problem was the heat press, because you didn't have the same pressure all over all at once (I hope that makes sense). I absolutely LOVE how mine turned out, and I wouldn't have tried it if I had not seen your video first! Thank you so much for all of your tutorials! They definitely help me put my cricut to use.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

That is fantastic!

[@danieller9645]

Delonda.. Girl you are amazing! I love the feeling that I get as though you are the gal next door. It is rare that people film their mess ups, and it was really nice that you are keeping it real. Thank you for posting what you did, the fact that you did not like it, and then changing things, showing us, and then liking your project. Stay amazing.

[@danieller9645]

I tried it your way, but the photo did not adhere to the middle of the canvas, only to the outsides. I took off the canvas and am trying to do it flat.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I am so sorry for just responding. I am trying to get myself on track and one thing I said I was going to do is respond to every comment I missed. Thank you very much!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Try it this way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imqoqKd_eat7isk

[@DayleVickery]

From the few videos I’ve seen it seems like you get better results if you remove the canvas from the frame and then re-staple it when you’re finished sublimating.

[@angiesparrow777]

Delonda. I agree with you. I did this just last night after seeing a video of someone posting it. I ordered the laminate, and it turned out the same as yours. I didn't care for my photo results either. I also used a smaller heat press too. I had the wrinkles, and i couldn't get them out. I might try again with my big press. Thank you for sharing.

[@HillCntrySkies]

So I bought some canvas watched your video then saw one you might wanna know about. They sprayed the canvas with Mod Podge clear acrylic (go outside for this 😷) It worked Awesome!! Just wanted to share… you are so helpful and amazing you probably already know this.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thanks for the tip!

[@sharicrafts5196]

OMgosh, not a fan of the subbing on canvas with laminating sheets for sure! Love love love the family photo though! But not when you were green! LOL I do like how the one on the wall turned out better too. Thank you for sharing the not so great, I don't think hiding the oopsies help anyone, but seeing not so greats do help! We can go back and say oh yeah that happened to Delonda, how'd she fix it...or not. :D Keep up the good work!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I totally agree! Thank you Shari!

[@bobslfcu773]

A friend of my wife just became an American citizen last week, legally sworn in after the 5 year waiting period or whatever the time is now. We sublimated on canvas the picture she sent of her holding an American flag on that day and even screen printed a t-shirt with a message on it. The canvas came out really nice. A proud moment for her, I am sure. Thanx for the videos and the ideas.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Wow! Congratulations ❤️ That is phenomenal.

[@michelleurso9247]

Did you use rapid tac under the thermal.paper?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Nope. Polyester fabric

[@andreabutler8448]

what made you change the colors???

[@LeftunsaidisBetter]

Know this is older video, Is there a difference of using laminate sheeting over thermal laminate sheet

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Hi there, I think the thermal sheet requires heat.

[@janetjichetti7403]

WOW those are so nice! I had no idea you could sub on metal!!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes you can! This is an old video and I wanted to relive this moment!😂

[@tharealestmccoy]

Best process for glossy canvas photos? Poly or laminating sheets? Any other process? Thx

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I prefer poly.

[@piavazellejerome4538]

By now you have probably figured it out but options: 1) Remove the canvas from the boards since you do not have an even solid object in the hole. The fabric, when pressure is applied is going to seek the low point and pull towards the center, causing the side wrinkles because of the pull and then you can place it on the large heat press for even heat distribution and weight. 2) Cut a board that fits exactly in the hole, however you then may get lines at the point of placement all around as the heat is still not distributed evenly - you can just build one board to fit but that would still take you to "1)".

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you

[@jennifrigge9230]

Can you use this process on fabric and shirts too?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Hi there, I am actually going to be LIVE at 6:30pm CST this evening. I am doing a sublimation tutorial. kzbin.infobCecGwgDJKA?feature=share

Thanks for watching ❤️

[@nurseaprn97]

Delonda at what temperature and how long would I use it using the Cricut heat press 9x9???

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

400 for 60 seconds but with ALOT of pressure.

[@janisbaker5873]

Thank you

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You're welcome

[@darlenethornton906]

I’m a beginner what is the best printer for a beginner I have a circuit explore2 never use it so I been follow you had it for week

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Hello, If you are interested in sublimation printers, I can only refer you to the one that I have, which is the Epson 2760.

[@janetjichetti7403]

How do you know what setting to put the printer on for the colors?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Never again, Janet 😂

[@keepinitreal_kreations9567]

Oh my goodness this is awesome...this will be perfect Christmas gifts...too bad I have no family I'd do this for right now 😥

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Oh no! I hope things get better soon! Thank you for joining me during the premiere. I sincerely appreciate it.

[@rosiegeremia]

You're the best!!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you!

[@chelleslifestyle54]

could it be easier to sublimate on polyester fabric and then apply to canvas and add vinyl lamination adhesive roll over it?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I’m not sure.

[@marcialegette1648]

I can’t wait to try this

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Do it, do it!

[@blanchelee5680]

Just got some canvases. Is it necessary to change the printer settings. Right now I have it set for tymbkwrs

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Not necessary to change the settings if you like the way your colors are working.

[@amberm944]

Where did you get your big blue heat press from ?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I purchased it from 143vinyl. Here is my link: StarCraft 15 x 15 Clamshell Heat Press - www.143vinyl.com/starcraft-heat-press-15x15-clam-shell-mint.html?partner=494693

[@bgwylie]

What heat press do u used?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Epson WF-7820

[@VTgirlandherbeagles]

I’m curious what it is about canvas that we can’t sublimate on it. I attempted what you just did with laminate but it wrinkled (same as yours) except I pulled the laminate back off the canvas because I hated it. But it appeared to have left some laminating residue behind. I thought what the heck I’ll try to sublimate on the canvas with the residue and I was able to make it work. It’s not vibrant but it worked for me. Wish I could show a picture here.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

That’s a great question. I sure wish I had the answer. I have a Facebook group and I’m on IG.

[@karenmclean050]

Where did you get your canvas

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I bought them from Joann's.

[@florenceburwell6746]

I'm looking at buying a epson sublimation printer off Facebook Marketplace . Is there a particular model that I should be buying ?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

An Epson Ecotank...look for 2720, 2760, 2803, or something similar. Do not buy an Epson Workforce.

[@florenceburwell6746]

@CraftingwithDelonda thank you so much for your advice. I found a barely used epson et 2760 on Facebook marketplace for $80. Now we just have to clean out the old ink and I'm with the Hippo. You are an amazing teacher.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️ That is a fantastic deal!!! Try using syringes to get the old ink out and then print some purge pages.

[@marilyntipton3153]

I can't wait to sub on metal again! I did a couple tags and loved it! I'd say the heat/pressure was a factor in the wrinkles in one for of another.. Have you tried the 9 - 7 - 15 -4 adobe 2.2 setting?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I haven't tried that setting. Did you get good results with it?

[@MoNi-on7kf]

Yes the 2.2 works perfect and the flat canvas at dollar tree work amazing …

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Going to try it! Thank you 😊

[@Graceandfiredesignz]

Just a tip put a towel tuck under well, so you have even pressure

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you 😊

[@psQcb]

Sorry I dont speak English very well but I thought It was the heat press... With the sublimation process is a fundamental that control the pressure time and temperature and with cricut type heat press is difficult to control the pressure. Maybe that's why the blank spot. Try to use the another heat press that have the pressure control knob. Excellent video... 👍 Greetings from Panama...

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you Hennie 😊. I am sure I won't try it like this again 🤣😭🤣😭

[@nurseaprn97]

OMG I wrote my question before you started 😦

[@ahealthierhappierresa]

Maybe your heat press was too high when you pressed the laminating sheet to the canvas and that is what caused the wrinkles or maybe there was something wrong with that laminating sheet 🤷🏽‍♀️ . On a positive note, the color settings on the second picture was definitely more vibrant. I love that you decided to post this video even though the results were not what you wanted them to be. It is all a learning experience. I call it research and development 😊

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Ooooooh, that is going to be my new phrase...this is "research and development " 🤣😭🤣😭🤣. I love that! Thank you 😊

[@Angel-TCCrafts2]

What a shame…. It is a beautiful photo. I prefer the one on the wall as well. Maybe try that again but with your bigger press? I dont know what happen there. I watched this two times but i still dont get were it went wrong. I do love the way you teached and explain the steps. It is easy to follow! It’s the first time you didnt like or LOVEEEE your work. But i know you will make up for it and make a nother one and it will turn out perfect

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I agree Angel! It's the first time I didn't love it. I didn't want to hide it though because we can learn from good and not so good.

not enough pressure maybe on right side

Uneven pressure. Remove canvas Use a clamp heatpress

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you

[@LanceMcGrew]

Another YT video uses 1.5m which is half the typical thermal laminate. It embeds into the canvas better. Make sure to pre-press the canvas before applying laminate to release moisture. Leave enough laminate oversize to pull tightly around sides and laminate onto back surface over the staples. This seems to help eliminate the wrinkles. Even so, none of the results are particularly appealing in my opinion.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you for sharing.

[@chayo9548]

definitely not a good idea to use a heat presser smaller than your canvas. thanks for the video

[@vanessacollins3997]

cardboard to place in back to give it a solid base.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I totally understand. In my opinion, you should focus on using one machine. If you have already used your Cricut, maybe try to sell the Brother machine.
