You can only sublimate onto items that have a polyester type coating. However you can purchase dog tags made of aluminum that are coated but not colored.

[@matthewhigginson944]

Very informative video, thank you. I'm liking what see with sublimation as far as image quality and durability. That said, tee shirt quality is extremely important to my brand. Are there high end 100% poly tees out there? Any recommendations? Was originally looking at Bella and Canvas, but I'm not sure they sell 100% poly. LMK.

[@ricomatv]

Sanmar probably has 100% poly

[@monarnyc]

Thank you so much for telling the difference

[@ricomatv]

Happy to help! Let us know if you have any recommendations for future videos!

[@Linallarii]

What tips do you recommend for sublimating on cotton tshirts?

[@ricomatv]

Because of the way sublimation works, you won’t be able to sublimate onto cotton shirts since the ink won’t stick. The most you can do is 60% polyester/40% cotton and even then it will give you a faded vintage look. For printing on 100% cotton, a DTG printer is preferred or you can do heat transfer printing as described in the video.

[@alfredoperez1950]

You can use Siser Easysubli with Easysubli ink. About $2 per sheet though.

When you wear it, not so much. But you can feel it when you run your hand over it

[@supersaiyanyoshi1175]

Great video, every sentence had helpful information

[@ricomatv]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MultiVictoria111]

Thank you so much for the video! Quick question: you mentioned that sublimation transfers from a solid, to a gas, and back to a solid. Is the gas considered dangerous to be breathing in? I don't have a workspace with good ventilation unfortunately :(

[@ricomatv]

Nope, it happens so quickly under the heat press that it’s not noticeable nor a concern at all

[@HalfAssHomestead]

You won't even know the gas off is happening. Unless you forget to put a piece of butcher paper over the print area, or below the last one. Then you will see the ghosting that will be transferred from that point onward/.

[@michelleword4935]

Great tips for people trying to learn which printer to purchase.

[@ricomatv]

Thanks Michelle! The beauty of it is that the ricoma R550 white toner transfer printer can do both heat transfer and sublimation printing!

[@STR3AK]

Awesome stuff. What kind of heat transfer printed would I need to print #’s and designs on thick materials such as canvas?

[@ricomatv]

With heat transfer you print onto heat transfer paper first and just heat press it onto canvas.

[@thepatsyfamily]

I've seen heat transfers leave a clearish border around the designs. How can you avoid this with this method? So if your paper is 8x10 but your design is 7 x 9, there's a 1/2" of unused paper and even when you trim the paper, it leaves behind a little bit of the blank paper backing. I'm not sure I'm describing this correctly, but it's a little clear film and makes the garments look cheap.

[@valeriashcheglyatyeva4374]

I've seen this printer print first hand and didn't see this issue.

[@johnyepthomi892]

also, if you’re looking for people facing similar issues but can’t find many or none when googling then it’s safe to say that it could be an isolated case and probably something you’re doing wrong and need to go back and read the manual again etc etc... not saying you’re doing it wrong or anything just adding my 2 cents for future purpose.

[@JCFair]

I have the same issue

[@jengaman]

Every regular heat transfer leaves white borders because of the paper. You can buy easy weeding paper or you can use laser printers that hace papers that won’t leave the white border. Look it up it’s all over the internet.

[@bher1534]

If u have a Cricut machine u can insert the paper and the machine will cut off the excess if you don’t have a Cricut I’ve seen people use an exacto knife or something along those lines.

[@wvusmc]
