[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! 😊🌻

[@mojo2613]

You are so thorough in your explanations and demonstrations! I love it as I am a detail person, and also like to understand the 'why' of what's happening. I also appreciate that you experiment and share the results with us. I was wondering about doing DTF on colored fabric also. Thank you!!

[@elizabethvallely4044]

Just got my Epson tank printer early Christmas present from husband he been so great helping me, I am Blessed, can't wait to try it but waiting on the ink and cloves to come, paper came today! Just hope I will be able to do the Sublimtions ok! Have learned a lot from you Jennifer thank you so much!!! Hugus Liz x

So excited to learn some new crafts! Didn’t see this love but so glad I am getting a chance to watch

[@rosepina1840]

I am enjoying this years segments

[@temporaryname8905]

Thanks for talking about so many different methods. I purchased some 100% acrylic hats that have a woven appearance. Unfortunately that means the 100% sublimation ink is difficult to use on them especially on the seam. So looks like I'll be trying some print and cut / printable vinyl next.

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay! Print then cut is fun. jennifermaker.com/how-to-use-printable-vinyl-with-cricut/

[@jeanettelodge124]

would love to see the bleach front technique for sublimation...seen some done with black shirts and one done with grey they bleached on front and then sublimated on thought they looked great would love to see your take on doing this...if I did it would probably end up with bleach splotches everwhere.

Hi Jennifer! Thank you for this great video! I was wondering if you find that sublimating on HTV lasts longer in the wash then the ink jet print then cut HTV - specifically the ink fading (not peeling and cracking). Thanks so much :)

[@sheilakoza8765]

Love this project!

[@karlaglover9693]

Yes Can hear you

New year shirts 🎉

[@carlaleal636]

Also, sublimation cannot be used in dark / black tshirts right? :/ i truly dont know which one to buy to start stamping tote bags and shirts because i wanted the products to be black with my illustrations on it You explain so well ♥

[@JenniferMaker]

There is a method for dark shirt and cotton. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-on-cotton/. You can always do print then cut or iron-on vinyl. jennifermaker.com/how-to-use-printable-vinyl-with-cricut/

[@carlaleal636]

Thank you so much!@@JenniferMaker

[@BeyondTshirts]

What is the best way to get plain white lettering onto a black t-shirt??? I bought "soft flex" white HTV, which I heard is very soft and lasts a long time. I need to make them for our church's worship team - at the request of our pastor - and I want to get it right. We just bought a new multifunction heat press and a new EcoTank sublimation printer. I was also looking for the infusible ink transfer sheets in white to see if that will work, but I haven't found any in white. Thanks! Very much enjoying your videos!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Infusible Ink needs to be on a high polyester count and a light color shirt. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-on-cotton/

[@BeyondTshirts]

@@JenniferMaker Okay. I'll do the soft-flex (or whatever it's called LOL) white HTV on the black shirts. Thanks!

[@dianeprojects7925]

Which one do you think would work best on athletic wear material??

[@JenniferMaker]

It depends on the fabric and the color. Sports flex is good for athletic stretchy wear.

[@dianeprojects7925]

[@jenniferk.1740]

I have a business and am looking to purchase something to make my own shirts. We usually do 2-3 designs a year on light colored Heathered Gilden style shirts. I’ve narrowed it down to sublimation or ink press. Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated. The shirts we get now are “Ink press”. I have a heat press but have never cut vinyl or worked a program.

[@JenniferMaker]

I love sublimation for the most professional looking results🥰

[@brialo6016]

I had the worse experience with htv ront , the first use put it on a Tshirt it peeled and had little cracks on the edge of the print

[@lexievz2593]

Hey Jennifer So for someone that wants to start a small business do you suggest dtf, sublimation and infusible ink best on tshirts? And for tote bags do you recommend the same to last? Especially if your going to be selling them to last long. Thanks :)

[@JenniferMaker]

There are many factors that play into this answer such as budget, personal preference, region, etc. You are welcome to search and/or ask in my FB Groups, facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/ facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy

[@judeyyudkin3183]

Hi. First,thank you so much for this gift! 😊 I really want to try the DTV process but I have the Epson F170 sublimation printer which only uses epson paper. It was one of the printers you reviewed. Because you have that printer too would you know if it is safe to use the DTV film or could it jam the printer? I called epson but they don’t know.

[@JenniferMaker]

It should work with the Epson.

[@terriwcannell]

Thanks!

[@ibusuriofficial]

Hello jen 👍

[@patriciaburgos8787]

Can you DTF with a sublimation printer?

[@stephaniedilorenzo1932]

Love this!

[@nadinerobinson766]

Is sublimination and htv the same?

[@JenniferMaker]

No they are not. Sublimation ink fuses with the fibers where as HTV is "glued" on top of them.🥰

[@karlaglover9693]

So cute love them 😍

[@murielnxumalo-yx6gj]

Which heat transfer paper do you recommend when using cotton or poly/cotton blend tshirts

[@JenniferMaker]

You can find the links to the ones I like below the video and in the tutorial🥰

[@Monotheism53]

What about printable heat transfer paper and printable heat transfer vinyl.whats the different.

[@JenniferMaker]

Printable heat transfer paper and printable heat transfer vinyl (HTV) are both used for transferring designs onto fabrics, but they have some key differences: Printable Heat Transfer Paper: Material: It's essentially a special type of paper that you print your design onto using an inkjet or laser printer. Application: After printing, you place the paper onto the fabric and use a heat press or iron to transfer the design. The paper's adhesive is activated by heat, which bonds the ink to the fabric. Finish: The transferred design often has a slightly different texture compared to the fabric, and it may not be as durable as HTV. Use: Ideal for complex, multi-colored designs and photographs. Printable Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV): Material: This is a type of vinyl that you can print on using a compatible printer. It has a heat-activated adhesive on the back. Application: After printing, you cut out the design using a cutting machine, weed out the excess vinyl, and then use a heat press to transfer the design onto the fabric. The adhesive is activated by heat, bonding the vinyl to the fabric. Finish: The transferred design is typically more durable and has a smoother finish compared to heat transfer paper. Use: Suitable for designs that require a more professional finish and greater durability. In summary, while both methods involve printing and heat application, printable heat transfer paper is generally easier to use for detailed, multi-colored designs, whereas printable HTV offers a more durable and professional finish.

[@tiptopmeatproducts6524]

Which is the best option if you want to print white on dark colour shirts?

[@JenniferMaker]

I would recommend using vinyl in that case💗

[@suppliedoasis6143]

Which do you recommend as being the most durable and ideal for memory foam covered in velvet? Like a memory foam rug?

[@JenniferMaker]

Are you wanting to sublimate on a memory foam rug?🥰

[@americangirl3497]

Love it

[@patshingledecker4431]

Are you able to use the DTF Sheets with Transfer Vinyl as well?

[@JenniferMaker]

DTF can be applied onto the same fabric merchandise as the heat transfer vinyl.

[@angeleyez143]

What printer is recommended for htv vs sublimation? And can it be used for both making shirts and stickers?

[@JenniferMaker]

If you are not using a sublimation printer with sublimation ink, there are many wonderful and affordable inkjet printers out there to create print then cut images for shirts and for stickers too! 💗

[@janeewinston5780]

Wow, I didn't know you needed polyester for infusible ink.

[@matachpatch]

fingers crossed for printer

[@cathleenbarnard9610]

Hi i was wondering can i use sublimation paper that i use on mugs on t-shirt aswell,some say yes,some say no

[@JenniferMaker]

As long as it has a high polyester content. Here are some other tutorials. jennifermaker.com/best-shirts-for-sublimation/. jennifermaker.com/sublimate-dark-shirts/. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-clear-htv/

Will the sublimation work on a 50/50 shirt?

It will have more of a faded look to it.
