How to Use your SawGrass SG400 Dye Sublimation Printer 01

99% of the vinyl I use on my channel is Specialty Materials Brands I have tried many kinds over the years, and they are my absolute favorite. The quality is top-notch, I have a video where I wash a shirt 50 times, and the vinyl still looks brand new. • Thermoflex vs. Siser: ... They have the most extensive range of products and colors around ( there are over 90 colors in the ThermoFlex Plus and GlitterFlex Ultra lines alone). They also offer free product samples on their website, which you don’t see anymore. Trust me, request a sample because if you try it, you will know why I love it.

As a not English speaker I understand every single word you pronounce. Love the way you explain everything. Love your videos. Blessing

[@brittanyherrington7681]

I have an epson workforce and it’s way less expensive than the sawgrass. And you can do it on light pink, white light grays. Works great on the Bella canvas marbles and the Gildan 50/50

[@shelleyday1634]

Love the shirt. Yep more subs on coasters, glass wear and if possible forever papers that allow you to print on glitter and dark fabrics. A def if possible. Love y’all xx

Will you need a cricket cutting machine to cut out the image before pressing it?

[@stephaniedobbins7291]

Ya!! I’m super excited about this Betsy, can’t wait😊😊😊

[@teresarussell5061]

Why does my prints on the sawgrass 400 not come out bright colors? Can you do maybe a complete tutorial step by step on screen of the design process. Thanks

[@shirleyschroeder2918]

I notice you didn't put any paper between the shirt our under the shirt. Most of the things I have read is that it can bleed on your shirt or your platen if you do not do this.

[@CuttinCornersVinyl]

I have a protective cover

When you say, 'you can only do this on white shirts' ? you mean sublimation itself ???? I need to print on black shirts ? what should I do exacly? TY!

I liked your video so much! I learned a lot, I also have this type of business, I am still new though

[@CuttinCornersVinyl]

I’m glad I could help

[@carlosestrada1552]

I was wondering if you have a chance to sublimate on glitter vinyl. Siser has come out with a new vinyl that allows you to sublimate right on the vinyl when you heat press for only 15 seconds. have you see this or are you going to do a video on this.

[@jodysterling1813]

I have orders for custom dominos have you ever done a tutorial for sublimated dominos

[@MrDjchompiras]

Hi question? do you think if you do a white foundation press on a dark garment and then do a second color press will that work?

[@pydepiperproductionsllcjon7585]

You was looking cute in that Cuttin Corners shirt. Love the videos am a fan.

Just watching this video made me want to subscribe n watch more!! Love it! N I love your nails!

Hi love the video but would like to see the sublimation to do signs for my wreath making. I have a heat press and Cricut machine and I use siser to do my shirts. Just wanted to see how you can make signs on aluminum. Thanks

[@sassybeach6893]

Hoping to learn more from you on sublimation.

[@Shelle200]

Hey can you do sublimation over white glitter vinyl. Like print and cut silhouette then sublimation over it, I would love to see if glitter will show under ink.

[@tennesseewoodsigns8637]

Shelle B No. it is a ink that turns to a gas vapor and the process attaches itself to the polyester fibers. But you can put HTV around or on top it for some unique creations. Hope that helped.

[@Shelle200]

@@tennesseewoodsigns8637 I just saw KZbin video just do it.

Can you do a video on how you set up your printer, and got it ready for printing when you took it out of the box?

I am so obsessed with dye sublimation, no I don't have a printer yet but I want one. How can you do mugs and plates and stuff? How can you get that under a heat press? I gotta know please.

[@charlesverner8132]

U buy specific heat presses for mugs. They do them for hats too and plates

Not seen you using your sawgrass printer much recently. Do you like it? Would you recommend getting one? I’m looking to start a home business and have been considering this printer.

Try using a press pillow

I have a question how do you download the software to this sawgrass sg400? I been having mine for 2 weeks now and I can’t get it running don’t have a software to download no where.. any tips?

[@911HerbalinfoGoneRaw]

I don’t get it, I’ve got the sawgrass sg400, a heat press I bought on Amazon and I place the heat press at 350 to 400 degrees and the image still does not transfer. All of my t-shirts and the sublimation paper burns. I tried at a much lower temperature with no avail. What am I doing wrong? I tried 100% polyester pillow case, it burned. I’ve tried 100% cotton, it burned. Both were white so I am so lost. Please help!

[@stephanielisenby5743]

First time watching you and I already love you and look up to you!!! I started doing shirts a couple months ago using vinyl but I want to try sublimation and screen printing I just don’t know where to start as machines/kits/ printers?!

Hi do you know where I can purchase that T-shirt guide?

[@scrappy125]

is there a certain setting to make it so vibrant?

[@sunseeker8457]

Thanks for that. But to help your camera stop getting out of focus when you move your arms.. Once you have set the camera up and you are in focus. Turn the lens to `MF´ (manual focus) It's a small swish on the side of the lens that says MF / AF (manual focus / auto focus). This will stop your camera lens from moving if you move your arms etc. has the camera is trying to re-focus agin in AF because you moved.

[@sassybeach6893]

I have heard there is a vinyl you can sublimate on can you please explain how that works? Thanks
