All this work and still have the feel of that butter-bib they give when eating lobster :) :) :)

[@hopecopenheaver6247]

I have watch videos all day and mess up so much. This is thr only video that explains it all. Thank you.

[@santonibell2705]

I know this is an Old video, but I would LOVE people in these videos to say which way they lay the Subli - shiny down - up or whatever.....

[@EZCustomzz]

Now I’ve done a workaround for epson printers and pizza wheel marks by printing the sublimation mirrored on A-Sub paper. Take the easy subli off the backing and place on parchment paper and sublimate onto the easy subli with registration marks. Then peel off easy with the sublimated design and place back on mask and heat for about 2-4 seconds to tac it on. Then place on cutting mat in my case the siser Juliet and let it cut out the image and weed out and then place onto clothing for 310 @ 15 Seconds. Worked great doing this method.

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Thanks for sharing!

[@msmrsteddyb5287]

I think it's important to show what can go wrong instead of editing the video like it came out perfect. You can see you messed up on the words on the bottom but showed a different one at the end.

[@MIMICHI09]

It is not him is the company, anyway he was showing another way to apply it without a sawgrass which was perfect explanation.

[@deehill5533]

Lol I saw that white showing too, but didn't see it at the end

[@jmogyoro]

Yes. We have been scammed. At this point, you can see the mis-registration :kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6LdoH2ZZqeWbM0. I have tried this. Once the subli is down and you pull off the mask, the shirt has stretched. It is extremely difficult or nearly impossible to line up the sublimation paper on top. Cost me the cost of the shirt + subli + paper to find out. Then went back to watch the video to see that it was a lie.

[@dam.s]

​@@jmogyorowhen tacking down the material, a shorter press-time will reduce shrinking and misreg. You could also try sublimating the cut material before pressing to shirt.

[@brittneysoltys909]

Exactly! And why in the world would you cut the mask to fit the image?? You keep it in one piece so you can reuse it! I guess they think we're idiots 😕

[@evabrown3552]

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Love to hear it!! EasySubli is a game changer!

[@TheWesleys]

I WONDER WHERE you learned this method from.. Hmmm 🤣🤣 Shout out to me. It’s totally fine!! 💛 You’re welcome.

[@hwrida]

You don't have to use mask. Lay the image down. Then lay and line up the easysubli on the image. Use tack spray to adhere the easysubli to the image. Then roll the backing off the easysubli. The easysubli is then adhered to the sub paper. Turn over and press as normal. When done just peel the paper off and easysubli and image are on the shirt.

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Great suggestions! There are many ways to bake a cake!

[@jmogyoro]

Hi e2wDesigns. Can you tell me if this is something you have actually tried, and is there a video showing the process? It makes sense to me but I would like to see it in detail and the type of tack spray used. Thank you.

[@MarilynDIAZDESIGNS]

Oh the magic of editing! 😍 lol. Love Siser products! They are very vibrant! I feel like I would need an offset to prevent it from looking off center showing the white area from my mishaps.

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

or you can give yourself a good bleed on your sublimation print so when you line it up, you will have some wiggle room.

[@alissaflynn1392]

@@SiserNorthAmerica How do you do that

[@tiffanyroyland1439]

I just did your process and it turned out so awesome. There was a small area on my design that had some small white dots. Would that indicate too high heat?

[@debrafreeman7506]

New and excited! Just got my pack of Easy Subli HTV a few days ago. A bit nervous so I am still just looking at it. This video will make it easy for me to take a first step, wish me luck!

You got this!! and if you have more questions on EasySubli, please do not hesitate to contact our Tech Support by emailing [e-mail]

[@cmb-w]

Mine usually turn out like the original image that did not have offset, with some white showing up, not like the swap out which was perfect. I wish sublimation paper could be clear. Maybe something for Siser to work on. 😉😉

[@paulaobmascher9859]

If you are referring to the vinyl, it wouldn’t work for dark color shirts. If you are referring to the paper you print onto, wouldn’t be made of paper, but would make it easier to line up.

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

that would be a great accomplishment!

Hello I disnt get to know what temp did you put the easy subli for? Then the temp for the sublimation paper for? I've done mine for: Easy subli- 310 and 10-15 sec which is prob to long? Sublimation paper for- 385 for temp and 60 secs? Was this alot and thats wjy it failed and its faded and i can see it almost look as see through? Thanks

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

EasySubli can be applied up to 400 degrees which keeps it from scorching or burning. This is the reason that the two step method works. For more info, head over to www.siserna.com to learn more!

[@vcancer]

I saw that JOE! You redid the shirt. The first one you didn't line up right with the bleed. The SIS, in the beginning, was a bit low.

[@f3rzz476]

I saw it too 😹

[@annarouse3466]

[@bdinvestments7682]

[@user-vz6tj8mx3l]

I'm new to the sublimation game but I've been watching and researching, and I feel more confused than ever. My understanding is that you print your image from a sublimation printer (not mirrored) onto the Easysubli HTV, then take the mask, which so far in my experience doesn't stick :(, to then press it onto the dark/ cotton shirt. In this video does he print an outline on regular sublimation paper then the colored image again on HTV? Thanks for any clarification!!!

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Hey Friend! It may be a great idea to reach out to our Support team at [e-mail] and they will be able to walk you thru the process :)

[@mrsilverwolf9150]

this will greatly broaden my range of vinyl work but when did this easy subli come out

[@TexasVeteranLawnService]

however you did a great job

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Thank you!

[@SusanReese-xc2pn]

So how do you get your transfer into Silhouette so you can cut it out? I'm lost about that part of the process.

[@kawestley1965]

Saving this so I can watch as I make it to be sure I can. Do you recommend the spray for sublimation on light colors?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Well, I dont want to advise you incorrectly. Since we dont really have anything to do with sublimation, I am not sure how long the spray will last for light colors. This is why we are showing EasySubli HTV, so you can do full color designs that can be applied to any color or any fabric.

[@newmindset-newresult999]

How about washing? does it have wrinkles on image? please explain

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

The washing is great! over 25 washes with minimal fading. As for wrinkling, it is all dependent on how large your EasySubli transfer is. If it is larger, then its going to take the shape of how the shirt creases.

[@glitterchaoscreations1484]

Hi there! I have a question about fading. I tried to use easysubli for the first time on a 100% cotton black shirt and I sublimated my image on A-sub paper and then tried to press the image on my shirt with the easysubli at 311 for 30mins (I saw this on another video before watching yours!) and my image was super faded when I lifted my press result. Is there a reason for this? I also printed my image off a week before pressing it, does that matter?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Hello, it sounds like you didnt press this process at the correct temp.... please contact our Tech Support at 586-203-8171 and we can help guide you through the process :)

[@JstcountryGirl]

Same shirt?? While on the press the bottom green "S" & the "I" has some white edge space (like it wasn't lined up correctly) & in the final shot there is no white space..... 🤔

[@kimberlysalamutmohmmed1265]

Can't you cut the subliimation print as well to get a better line up.?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Yes

[@tammiskinner3538]

My question is.. how do I get my Cricut to cut the easysubli withOUT the registration mark (since we're printing on the regular sublimation paper???)

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

You just have to place the blank EasySubli on your Cricut and send the cut file that goes with the sublimation print over to the cutter. My sure you do not mirror your cut file. Mirror only for the sublimation print.

[@chelseawatson4930]

What side of the easysubli to you face up? The rough side or smooth side?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

The "rougher" side of the EasySubli is the side that will receive the sublimation ink.

[@carriefechter6998]

So after I print on the paper, I tack down the easy subli for 2 seconds, press the sublimation printer on and doneso? I'm just concerned cause it's a longer time than the 15 seconds

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

yes, if you follow the steps we have in the video, you should have a perfect outcome :) Please reach out to our Tech Support by calling 586-203-8171 and we can help you out there!

[@peachesestrada6440]

So you said mirror but do not mirror cut file. Correct so do I mirror the image

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

You do mirror the print image

[@freshMila]

Hello amazing video.. You mention protected sheet on top of your image. What kind ? Can I use Teflon sheet instead and can I reuse the protection sheet or Teflon ?? Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks

[@trimaineyoung3716]

use butcher paper or craft paper to protect your heat press from catching the ink

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

I would suggest using parchment paper, because it is inexpensive and can be disposable. The Teflon sheet can run the risk of getting ink on it, and you wont want to reuse it once that happens.

[@hectorcuyun6991]

Hi what side do I cut on the paper Glossy or rough Like which side goes on the paper

on the EasySubli HTV, you are going to cut on the rougher side.

[@tonicoleman5078]

So how do I cut my design on the easy subli if I didn't print on it

[@jturner7403]

Since I am new I am confused. Why would I mirror the print but not the cut file, especially if it needs to be weeded instead of trimed? Thanks

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

The sub print is laying on top of the EasySubli, so you need to mirror your sub print in order for it to match the EasySubli. Please feel free to reach out to our Tech support at [e-mail] and we can further help you out!

[@kaoxiong9187]

Is EasySubli HTV paper supposed have a grainy(white dots) look after printing? Would doing the 2 step eliminate that?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

The 2 step process may give you a crispier result. The white dots are from how the ink lays down on the EasySubli when printed directly on it.

[@kaoxiong9187]

@@SiserNorthAmerica That worked. Thank you!

[@dangelodon]

May I use Epson printer for printing directly on the easysubli paper?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

You can try it, but Epson Printer heads are usually very low and can cause the EasySubli to jam.... but people have had success printing directly on EasySubli on an Epson.

HELP! I printed my design (mirrored) onto my sublimation paper...how in the world do I get my cricut to cut out the design on the easy subli if there is no design on it and no registration marks? What am I missing?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

you need to just get the "silhouette shape" of your printed image. Just create a vector shape of it, and make sure you cut it WITHOUT mirroring the file on the EasySubli.

[@michaelamanross3903]

I cut out the design on the easy subli but when I print the design on regular sublimation paper the design doesn't match up to be the same size it's smaller can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

You may want to look at your print settings and make sure the software doesnt size your design down.

[@kayeregattieri8286]

can you use the Cricut easy press????

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

You may, but the heat for sublimation needs to be consistent and even.

[@LoriChoman]

Isn't the main point of EasySubli is that you can print on it?

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

Yes, but not everyone has a printer that can successfully print directly onto EasySubli.

[@SiserNorthAmerica]

that is a total preference! In this video, I show two routes you can go. You can have the EasySubli transfer cut the same as the sub print, but you have to make sure your registration is accurate or you will have an offset. Or you can give yourself wiggle room, but making the EasySubli transfer a little larger than the print, but you will have a white boarder.
