How To Prevent Sublimation Tumbler Ghosting!

How To Prevent Sublimation Tumbler Ghosting!
Hello Everyone!
I just had to try it again with this tumbler press from HTVRONT. The last time I used it, my image was not complete at the top and bottom and I got a few questions about it.
I have always said that perfection is overrated. It is my goal in each and ever tutorial I create to not just take you through the process; but show you all of the mistakes I've made along the way. I know that my mistakes will help you during your journey and it will also encourage you, when you are at home crafting and things don't go your way.
Make sure to stick around for the full video and watch my clip about perfection being overrated. I felt that way before I even started my crafting journey and my feelings about it have not changed.
The materials I used for this tutorial include:
✅HTVRONT Auto Tumbler Press - amzn.to/3s1HK0a
✅20 oz Skinny Tumblers - amzn.to/3FMK6DH
✅Cricut Heat Resistant Tape - amzn.to/3tSlpCU

I always use that much tape and EVERY tumbler has been perfect.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I have never used that much. I cannot 😭😭😭

[@KevyB.]

@@CraftingwithDelonda Hi Delonda! I'm from the Bahamas, love your content. I haven't been sublimating for very long, but I started by using a good much tape and have been very successful, so I just continue doing it, even though it's VERY time-consuming 🙄🙂

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

@RandomShortCuts I don't think I can keep up with this method 😭😭

[@JD-72191]

I use a lot of tape too. I usually don’t even use shrink wrap either! I also don’t have a tumbler press. I use an airfryer and all mine have been great. I am never in a hurry and take my time making sure I get the sub paper tight with no air spaces. I just do this for me and my friends and family. I’m not doing this for business so I can take my time. 😊 Love all your videos!

[@DeannaWilliams75]

Imperfect tumblers are an ongoing joke in my family. My mom holding on to one like it was my 1st kindergarten project 😂.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

That is hilarious 😂

[@kimmiejones440]

Delonda I needed this. So tired of ghosting and rebuying tumblers!

[@arisingphoenix4392]

OMG!!!!! After messing up 6 tumblers in my new HTV Autopress, I found you on KZbin!! Thank you, thank you. LOTS AND LOTS of tape!! I'll order another press, this is messing with my bottom line. lol. Thanks again for your post!

[@amandacrenshaw5182]

First, you stating "perfection is overrated" has helped me so much!! I am an over thinker and you, being the amazing creator that you are, taught me to just do it. If I mess up, it's okay. Thank you for that! Second, I have the PYD Life tumbler press. I get great results when I dont tape the top or bottom just the sides. Sometimes I get a slight ghosting. I will look at and try Marilyn's method as well. Thank you sweetie!!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You are so welcome!

[@slowmoving6511]

Delonda, your reactions to mistakes are what give me courage to keep trying!! Though I have not yet tried tumblers .. my sublimation journey has included t-shirts, mugs and small blanks (coasters, magnets, jewelry). Sometimes I wonder if the steps I follow are actually helping or are more based on superstition (I mean they worked once so I keep doing them)..for example, I blow dry my paper before printing to remove moisture - both sublimation paper and butcher paper, etc. When my tumbler press comes, I plan to add excessive taping to my journal steps. Thank you for your videos!!!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you very much!

[@normacerda3909]

I love your content 😊 may I suggest, you use your three center tapes and then your longer stripes of tape on the rim of your tumbler and the bottom. Make sure they are really tight and then press. Work awesome for no ghosting around your edges. It took a full case of tumblers for me to get it 😂. But we can do this.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thanks for the tip!

[@rosepratt8263]

I absolutely love your videos- this is my favorite 😍 why? BECAUSE I have made so many mistakes with this whole sublimation process!! Yep more taping…but mistakes are ok ✅

[@melnakabayashi2712]

This was a great video! I’ve been wondering exactly if I need to return this press and use only my oven or not. I think I’ll keep it for mugs and glass can maybe. I’m glad you showed us with this one taping is the key for the 20 Oz skinnys.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You're very welcome!

[@kimberlytezeno7580]

lol it’s funny how your reel short hit home. I just messed up 4 tumblers with the htv ront press and was about to give up lol. I said let me KZbin tips and your video was the first to pop up for me. I’m not giving up though. I’m taking it as a sign so I’m going to go back in my office and try this technique…..with patience lol.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you! You may also want to check out Making with Marilyn. Her process of taping tumblers is unmatched.

[@MzChea]

I also used making with marilyn technique, and it came out perfect

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Awesome! She is soooo good!

[@Craftybowladychannel]

Ms Delonda I want to thank you for doing the tumbler illustration on the second try. I have the HTVRONT Tumbler press and I used your settings 390 degrees with 2 rotations at 70 and I GOT NO GHOSTING❤😊. I used the butcher paper to insert with the tumbler too and yes lots of tape using Ms Marilyn illustration.

[@SepiaSparkles]

Hello Delonda 😊 I believe the tape keeps any air from getting into vulnerable spots. I don’t like the extra tape either but the tightening helps. My tumblers have improved 100%.

[@marir1005]

I also wrap my Tumblr with a lot of tape…probably more than I should🤔.

[@KevyB.]

I agree. I've always used extra tape and all of my tumblers have turned out great.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thanks for the tips!

[@elizabethvallely4044]

I always use lots of tape trun out great! Like you though do not like to use lots of tape but it sure comes out awesome! Thank you for teaching enjoy the video! Happy Mother;s Day 💐 God Bless Hugs Liz 💕

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You are so welcome!

[@kraftykia]

The last 60 seconds of this video is the best part 🥰 thank you!

[@lilladyo2cute414]

I love your videos and your spirit. You keep it real no sugar coating and your methods always work for me. Thank you for all you do.

[@darygal64]

Amen! I have been crafting for years and make mistakes ALL the time. And every time I learn something.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️

[@arcinesmith5837]

I was having ghosting as well. So I brought some silicone bands because like you I don’t like using a lot of tape. The bands work great. I messed up 8 tumblers before I got it right. Do now I have 8 black tumblers that I have used vinyl on and no ones they were mistakes. I ordered a blank black sheet from Etsy and made 4 copies which I used to cover up my mistakes on my tumblers , worked perfectly. M

[@4evermykids1]

Delonda, it wasa so nice to see you smile when it worked

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️ I was happy that all.of that tape didn't go to waste 🤣🤣

[@johannaguerra4006]

Well done!! Perfection is overrated! For me the only way to go is to give my 100% and I’m just getting started. It is a joy for me to give a gift well done!!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I agree!!

[@deborahm7121]

That’s right Delonda I totally agree NEVER give up!!

I will try this tonight. Thank you so much!! May I know what size you cut your design?

[@missd1112]

I have this tumbler press and watched your previous video. I used the sizing and printer preference settings you suggested. It came out just fine without all that tape. I think dimensions and NOT using infusible ink transfer sheets make all the difference.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you for sharing that. One reason I haven't used it as much is because I don't want to have to use so much tape.

[@Sweetsuziblues1]

You can do it. You can always slow the video down and pause it if you need to.

[@lynnebizlyne436]

I have inconsistent results using multiple taping methods with my pyd life tumbler press. (I do not have the HTVRont press) Sometimes one taping method works with no ghosting and sometimes that same way doesn’t. I plan to try your 3 piece tape with open paper wrap and see what happens. I like the less tape use idea and I’m hoping it gives me a great result. Loved the video❤

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️ I usually get really good results with the pydlife tumbler presses, without using all of that tape. I hope it works for you.

[@mariapennie7405]

She also shrink wrapped and it was perfect as well. Would you consider trying that too? TIA

[@brendaroberson1711]

Love your channel! New to sublimation. Go PVU class of 85❤

Great video! I like how you said "If that is what's going to get a perfect tumbler, than that is what I suggest "You" do. I heard and took that to mean but I won't be using all that tape. Hahaha! Tracey

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You were listening! I don't intend to use that much tape. I cannot commit to doing this.

[@lyndabryant7390]

First and foremost hello, and you’re amazing! I follow Ms Marilyn as well but lol I don’t use that much tape. Suggestion, take one piece of butcher paper and tape around the tumbler then fold in the top and fold the bottom. See if that works. It does for me! Continual Blessings! ❤

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@lindabradford9591]

You're so cute, Delonda. Especially when you put "my tape has tape", lol. Great video!

I use the silicone sleeves. They work great and not a lot of money wasted on tape. Takes a little practice to learn how to get them on but it's worth the time and money saved. Cost of a lot of tape adds up.

I agree! I tried the silicone sleeves before but I could not get them on.

When you use your heat press after the tumbler is done, does the smoke put off a bad odor smell? Or is it just me thinking this. I bought this as my first heat press.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I feel like there was a little bit of an odor when I first got it.

[@AuntWanda]

Helloooo

[@angelaware3967]

Perfection is overrated I done the same thing on two Tumblers and had to go back to my notes I've sold around 5 tumblers since . I love creating

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️

[@msfnly]

I always tape my tumblers this way. There's no rhyme or reason you can't use as much tape as you want to. But.....this doesn't always work. I tape and use shrink wrap. I make my tumblers in a convection oven as well. But ghosting comes from air under the design. Sometimes the designs slip so no method of taping is 100%.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thanks for sharing

[@qualandaaboyme7482]

Thank you for this video as I have been on the fence about this press. May I ask the measurements you use for the 20oz tumbler image?

So I have a qi keep ghosting and I use a air fryer for 390 heat for 6 mins halfway I turn it, but is it better to use a tumbler heat press

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I am so sorry. Check out @makingwithmarilyn she has a sure fire way to tape her tumblers that may be more helpful than what I have demonstrated.

[@micheleeskridge4056]

I bought this press a couple of weeks ago. I tried the taping, but I found that heat shrink wrapping yields the perfect result without the hassle .

[@marir1005]

I saw someone else doing that. So would you wrap plain paper around the image and then shrink wrap it and then place it in the tumble with an additional paper like Delonda did?

[@jenns.4187]

Did you rotate the first one or leave it in, untouched, for the full time? I’d be curious to see what would happen without the tape, 390 and rotating at 70 seconds. Personally, I’ve been using my PYD life oven more than my press because I don’t like using a ton of tape and I won’t lie, my press smells 😂 if we were all perfect on the first try, I don’t think we would ever keep going because it would get boring. Mistakes are where the magic happens.

Hi Delonda. I purchased this HTVRONT tumbler press from Amazon. I liked it, but I had to return it. It only worked 1 time. Do you have any problems with your unit? The display would not come on after pressing the power button. I tried several times and got frustrated. I am considering buying from HTVRont. What's your opinion of buying directly from the company?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I have used it about 25 times now and I like it. I just had a problem with ghosting on full wraps. They are getting ready to have a HUGE sale on their website starting very soon. If you are going to order from the website, I suggest you wait.
