If you are doing sublimation: Polyester garments (white & light colors), A-Sub paper for designs (mirrored on computer), Butcher paper, and heat press. If you doing heat transfer paper: Any color Cotton garments. PPD (might be other products out there, check Heat Press Nation), Jet ink for designs (not mirrored), parliment paper (should come with heat transfer paper), heat press.

can i use this transfer paper for my cap? and what temp and time?

That I am not sure, unless you have a hat press and also the hat need cotton (50% at least). You can always try, but small design on a older hat.

[@emmagilmore615]

How did the garment hold up after washes?

[@diywithkenny8399]

This method, not so good after handful of washes. Saw another comment someone used sublimation paper on top of PPD paper (like glitter vinyl). Did the regular jet-ink way, so far upholding 7 washes. Still tweaking it.

No worries. Sublimation ink. Can check the pin comment for updated results.

[@diywithkenny8399]

Hello and hmmm. Sublimation or Regular ink? I noticed in a the instructions is to leave the white silicone paper on there for 30secs (teflon sheet ontop to help hold down), then peel. Try that. Now there a comment from someone they lay down the ppd, and use sublimation paper and heat press onto that way. Now I have tried regular jetink and have last 10 washes no cracks.

[@diywithkenny8399]

Ok. After 1st press, just leave white silicone paper on it for 30secs, if you have teflon sheet use that too. I would 2nd press again exact same way. Make sure you have the heat press firm pressure. Try that on a old shirt and wash same amount to see results

Hey. I have WF-7840 & EcoTank 3760. Difference is WF can print 8.5x11", 11x17", and 13x19" vs ET 3760 8.5x11" Now there is a Ecotank 15000 that does same as WF 7840. Depends your budget.

[@diywithkenny8399]

WF 7840/7820 estimate $300 print all paper sizes, EcoTank 15000 estimate $600 print all paper sizes. Then there other models that will be different and prices goes down. Add also the EcoTank easier to convert to sublimation.

[@diywithkenny8399]

Final note, did some quick search.. ET-15000 would be my personal choice (just need ink), but WF 7840 or 7820 can still be good and at cheaper price (but will have to change chips, get refill cartridges, get ink, and will have to get more chips UNTIL they make chips dont have to change). My 2cents. hope that helps.

Hi, great job! I have a Epson ET-8550 that is sublimation, will this process work on PPD Light Heat Transfer Paper? Thank you

[@diywithkenny8399]

Hello. My honest opinion on sublimation for the PPD product, better off using regular jetink. Only way it will work for sublimation is to tack down the ppd on garment, the. use your sublimation print paper (+design/image printed on A-Sub or whatever), then heat press it 390 to 400 degrees, 45 seconds more or less. All depends on your equipment. Lot of extra steps FYI. Hope that can answer it all.

[@tonybrown5747]

Thanks Kenny

[@diywithkenny8399]

Welcome and anytime 😎

[@BreezyGee26]

Can someone tell me difference between heat transfer and sublimation paper

[@diywithkenny8399]

Heat Transfer Paper - printing a design onto a sheet of heat transfer paper using an inkjet or laser printer. Then heat press onto any cotton color garment. Sublimation Paper - print design using sublimation ink. Then heat press is to polyester garment (white and light colors only, polyester blends 50% and up). 100% polyester best results.

[@karenharris4176]

Hey I love what you did. I’m just a little confused. I’m starting out and looking at a lot of videos. So I started out using the PPD paper first and I love it! The feel is like it’s baked into the shirt. Doesn’t feel like vinyl at all I guess because it isn’t. But the confusion is the title of this video is SUBLIMATION. Where does the sublimation come into this? Did I miss something? I’m trying to learn about sublimation and that is why I clicked on this. Somebody help me please. Lol

[@customshirts8333]

a year later- what happened was color migration, the red ink from the apron sublimated into the transfer. the only way i know of to fix that is to use a blocker layer inbetween the apron and the transfer to keep the ink from going thru the printed side- i learned this the same way, and used what i had laying around to figure it out, i pressed chrome htv first as a blocker layer and then pressed the heat transfer over and it worked. the red didnt bleed through

@@diywithkenny8399 Ok. I did exactly the steps in your video. When I go to silhouette it has the border like yours but it's up in the left hand corner not corner to corner like yours. The border won't stretch to all four sides. When I hit the preview button it's only showing 1 picture and half of the other. It's not showing both pictures like yours in the preview.

Wish I could show you because I don't think me explaining is good, lol

Hello. PHOTO PAPER DIRECT PPD

[@chiloveradiouncut]

Helppppp!!! 🆘🆘🆘Ok I am trying this method and my cover sheet keeps sticking to the image when I lift the heat press. I mean it's completely stuck to the shirt. The colors are there but my image just turns into a giant two side sticker.

[@diywithkenny8399]

Hmmm. Are you referring to the white parliment paper⁉️. Try to loosen the heat press plate (pressure).

[@chiloveradiouncut]

@@diywithkenny8399 yes the paper sticks to the printable vinyl. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

[@diywithkenny8399]

You may have too much pressure on your heat press, should be a knob that you can turn; turn clockwise more pressure. turn counter- clockwise less pressure.. should be able to adjust when top plate lifted, can adjust off so just lay a shirt down, loosen pressure, then you can see from there.. may have to adjust a few times but not so tight where you have it now.

[@diywithkenny8399]

Try that and let me know

[@chiloveradiouncut]

@@diywithkenny8399 I think the problem is that I'm using butcher paper which doesn't have a coated layer.

What app do u use to cartoon images?

[@diywithkenny8399]

Hello and for me using cartoon designs just depends. But you can 😎.

[@diywithkenny8399]

My bad. I read that wrong. Free version I used Photopea.com (also photoshop). Also will be doing a video on that, have a few requests.

[@diywithkenny8399]

This Thurs. Cartoon any image tutorial

Good job bro! What’s the name of that paper cutter you use?

[@diywithkenny8399]

Thanks; paper-cutter name is FISKARS. purchase on amazon, but also in hobby stores and can buy blades to change out.

[@GraceChaser3]

@@diywithkenny8399 I just went got mines! Thank you! This is a game changer! I kept cutting it with scissors and it ends up looking super sloppy!

[@diywithkenny8399]

When you get a chance, the premium blade for $20 more or less cuts even better.

[@chryscrockett729]

Try using a regular printer on this paper results will be better

[@diywithkenny8399]

[@leapdaily1288]

PPD paper melts in a regular printer. So heat-less printers are the only option. 😢

[@sharonlawson7485]

could you have done a boardless print to avoid the white lines?

[@diywithkenny8399]

Yes you can when going into the printer preferences and selecting borderless, may depend on what software you use for the print job.

[@diywithkenny8399]

*UPDATE*: 385 Degrees For 30 Seconds Firm Pressure Heat Press. After 1st press, leave Silicon Paper on for 30 seconds, and then peel. 2nd Press with Silicone Paper 10 to 15secs. *

Hello Kenny, Do you run two printers? Just wondering how you’re able to print with sublimation ink for this video but now you are saying in the replies to comments you will print with regular ink jet ink moving forward because you see better results with this method of transfer. Just curious, I have one printer and am trying to develop a way to sublimate onto dark cotton blanks other than bleaching my area beforehand or using sub-spray.

[@diywithkenny8399]

Hello. At that moment of the video, yes the sublimation was good. After few washes, tenf to fade. IF you wanted sublimation, will have to tack down the heat transfer paper, print design on sublimation paper, the. heat press it down. The regular way it was intended with regular jetink, which i have done.

[@theapplewoods7232]

How did the update method hold up in washes? Have you ever used nufun paper? I loved that better than ppd!

[@diywithkenny8399]

Washes for regular jetink held up about 15 so far, but sublimation method I done in video was a handful. No never tried nufun, need to check that out.

[@theapplewoods7232]

Thank you!!! Awesome

[@theapplewoods7232]

@@diywithkenny8399 Worked perfectly. I needed this method for my nephew's memorial t shirts. Thank you so much!!!

I did a shirt using dark transfer paper How come when I washed mine it peeled?

Yo. How you applied the product? What material? What ink you used (regular jetink or sublimation)? Used firm pressure on heatpress? Backtrack and see.
