i have to mention that the very first video i saw before i started my tshirt an tumbler journey was one of your videos. you are such a good teacher and an isnpiration to me

[@lifewithcha]

Omg 😍 I came for the tutorial and stayed and rewatched for the puppy love 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jenniferboyd9060]

Hey Sallie, I have the same press and use the 30oz tumblers, however if you cut the top off the paper straight on the bleed line and flip the cup upside down on your table then flip your print upside down on the table and wrap it that way your print will line up perfectly every time and it is a little simpler, also I never need to wrap the top or bottom and have done this for several months with perfect tumblers every time. I also put the tape on one side of the paper and pull it really tight to the other side. Hope you find this useful!

[@Christine.505]

I have the same press too and I'm confused about the two knobs on the front of the press. Do I need to adjust those?

[@debrabenavidez3382]

Do you have a video showing how?

[@mrsmrs4844]

@@Christine.505 According to Heat Press Nation, adjust the two front knobs until the round plastic pieces (look under the press) touch the heating element. Then adjust the 2 black knobs.

[@chikiifigueroa2681]

Can you make a video of how you do it please

[@winterskymoonranch]

Great video Sallie! You are an excellent instructor, and the puppy yawns were definately a plus.

[@honey89lopezv76]

Omgoodness it was the puppy yawning for me 😍😍 he's so cute!

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you!! 💕 🐾

[@catriseherriott5877]

Sallie, Sallie…. You are the best! My husband purchased me a cricut maker, however it’s still in the box. Due to me watching your videos over and over again… 😅 He stated “You should know how to do everything Sallie does because you watch her so much” I stated: “ No not quite, I’m still studying and taking notes😭 So I am going to attempt to make something… not sure what… but I’m sure if I don’t make something soon my husband is going to band me from KZbin…🤣 Thanks for all the information you share!

[@SimplySallie]

🤣🤣🤣 you are so sweet! You got this, make sure to keep me updated on your first project!

[@maryjo5397]

What type of printer is needed in this? I see some for 600$ and some for 6000$??? Just wanting to try to make gifts for mugs and tumblers?

[@aliciat2216]

@@maryjo5397 I did a lot of research on printers for sublimation and I went with Epson SC-f170, from LexJet. Between searching and reading online and watching Jennifer Makers video on sublimation printers the SureColor seem to be the best deal for $, time setting up. I bought Hippo sublimation ink. I literally just got it in the mail. I haven’t even opened the box up yet! Whatever you end up going with make sure you don’t fill the ink with regular ink!!! Make sure you buy sublimation ink. I hear a lot of people talk about the 2 different brands Hiippo and Jack. I went with the Hiippo brand.

[@washer37]

​@@aliciat2216I Absolutely LOVE mine. The Epson Ink that comes with the F170 is true sublimation and it's Amazing ink. Only ink I use for one my warranties but also because it's great!

[@maryjo5397]

Thanks! Wondering what type of printer I need to do these?

[@SimplySallie]

Thanks so much! 😊 you would just need a sublimation printer or a printer converted to sublimation. I have a few videos where I converted one, and I also have a sawgrass sublimation printer as well.

[@VivienCosta]

This video is where it all started for me, thank you Sallie!

[@SimplySallie]

Aww thank you so much for sharing that! 🥰

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

My convection oven came in. So did my tumblers and other supplies I needed. Now I just have to pic the designs. LOL. There are so many options. I want to get a tumbler press. So much quicker. But a friend brought her oven over and we tested it out and it was a good easy entry since the oven was only $109. Now I can test my market.

[@lingli7759]

Dear, if u have a lot of tumbler to make, press is a bettere choice and also it turns out usually better with a press. by the way, we sell our presses at $187 ea

[@GrafikzbyDesign]

I will have to try the double tape method for the ends. Great video!

[@Furby_assassin]

Coffee filters make great lent free wipes just thought I'd share. Learned from a machinist that does performance engines.

[@aliciat2216]

I use them when I was doing nails! Great tip!

[@itsmeJennaL]

Thank you! Need this tip for nails too 💅

[@quillajefferson8110]

Really nice imma get some

[@paige__978]

Thank you for this video!! What type of printer do you use?

[@jestcy4205]

Totally agree on the h.p.n heat press. I bought/used another off brand prior to buying it and boy is there a difference! You don’t really know there is unless you’ have another to compare it to. I’m guessing the difference is the 4 point pressure on there’s where everyone else’s is only a 2 point. It’s an expensive machine but it’s worth every penny. There’s no way I would have not been able to tape the top/bottom on the others!

[@MKCraftsandFamily]

Your tumblers turned out so cool and cute!!! I use a convention oven and love the tumblers! They are addicting to do!!

[@sincerelytatum5376]

Omg!!!! Hello to the new puppy, he is sooooo adorable!!!

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you!! He's a mess! 😅🥰

[@carollewis1644]

They look great! Thanks for sharing the information! It's greatly appreciated!!!

[@tynishaharris535]

love your products, but saw puppy immediately liked the video!!!! lol!! that's a beautuful baby!

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you! 💕

[@1714eileen]

Good video . I gotta watch your other videos

[@scrapandstamp]

Thanks Sallie! I tried my first one the other day and had so many mistakes lol. Thanks for all the tips! Can't wait to try again.

[@SimplySallie]

Thanks for watching! Good luck! 🥰

[@lesliehulce6339]

I ordered one from Peachtree and hoping it comes anyway. I am use a Cricut mug press now to make my tumblers and you get ghosting at times grrr. So can't wait for my press to come. I got the heat tape and tape dispenser from heat press nation I love it. Nice big rolls and it seems to last longer than the amazon stuff. I just switched to it and it wasn't too bad so you may want to check that out.

[@Gipsy360]

3rd time? That’s awesome!!! I have made around 30 already y around 7-8 were a disaster, my issue is the bleeding at the bottom 😤 and I have mar 2 red ones, totally trash 😡 I was told “the film was not tight enough, which it’s an incorrect statement, I tried again (with red) and if happened exactly the same 😭 i don’t“sealed” the butcher paper, I’ll try that next

[@Brunse61]

This was a great video too! I have been looking for such a video for a while! Thank you so much!

[@zizimcreations]

Awesome!! We have those blanks too! Love your works!🥰

[@AnnetteWing]

What printer do you use to make the sublimation tumbler and do you need special paper?

[@deborahknapp5524]

What kind of paper do you buy and where do you buy it? Can you design be printed off of a regular printer or do you have to have a special printer?

[@crystalcantu8552]

Hi im new here thank you so much for saying the sizes for each tumbler. Really appreciate that

[@mhmosthated8697]

What sublimation printer you use

[@Cricuter]

Thanks for another great tutorial! Love your channel!

[@marilyntipton3153]

These are so kiddie and cute to me lol.. I use convection oven no turns 6 mins and no issues.. Thanks for sharing it was fun to watch!

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you for watching!! 😊

[@chewar7537]

I thought I wanted to start making these, but after seeing the amount of work...now I don't. lol. Great video though, and the puppy is adorable!!!

[@montereybaymurals]

For the seam area is it possible to overlap a bit?

[@schlotdoglaser]

I tried to make a tumbler yesterday. I printed out the image on my Epson ET2850 (using only sublimation ink...Hilpoo) and the blacks came out lite and then I pressed it. I didn't use butcher paper. THe press I have the larger tumbler didn't fit (all they had at Michaels and these were a test). The sublimation paper stuck to the bottle and had to run it under water. The black was very dull and slight blueish. A friend said that can happen if you over bake. (I ran them at 360 but for about 3 mins.) Thanks for the great video....going to try again.

[@queenrae91]

Wow you make it look so easy. This tumbler is beautiful. What kind of printer do you use? Do I have to have a sublimation printer?

[@Snuglesdeb]

I love them and I am brand new at this so I am super excited but very nervous at the same time. Thank you for sharing.

[@sontivee8946]

Thanks for sharing. Cute puppy❤️

[@KaydenTull-no8dg]

Hi u help a lot but what printer are you using

[@Maddymoosmama]

Ok, I need to know, because I went back and watched the mug video too. Do sublimation items have to have a special coating? I noticed your wood circles did, the mugs did, and I was unsure about the tumblers.

[@MichellePsalm3418]

I saw in another video that the tumblers do need to be sublimate ready. Just Google sublimate blanks and tumblers come up on lots of sites!

[@primate888]

Thank you for your video. I have not done this yet but I did purchase the cuts. My question is do I have to use any special ink and paper for my printer? Can I use my standard Epson inkjet printer. Or do I have to buy a new printer with special ink!

[@KeepingupwiththeRounds]

New to sublimation world, do you mirror image this for tumblers? as well as shirts?

[@jamiperry3827]

Those are super cute! As always, you make it look so easy!

Thank you Jami!!

You got me with Leo he’s adorable 🥰

[@minicaestilette3010]

Love these they all came out so pretty I need to educate myself on Sublimation Some things is a Lil confusing 😂

[@butterrican143nevertheless5]

Love your video , but one question, what computer do you use?

[@joehess5421]

What have u found to use to ship tumblirs in to get them there not damaged and a decent cost?

[@steinbierz]

Hello. I love your videos and have watched quite a few of them since buying my Thunder Laser. I am asking this question here only because you seem to be well-versed in many maker areas and a search didn't turn up too much. I have a friend who has a silicone pint glass that he got from a brewery and had the brewery's logo on it. I thought it was pretty cool so I started looking online for how to put logos on silicone products and didn't see much--I did see some videos of a more industry set-up where they had paint machines that were pumping out wrist bands and other items but nothing much in the way of a small maker operation. Is this type of product somewhat out of reach for most small business folks who dabble in a lot of different things (me with woodworking, CNC, laser, want to get into sublimation, etc.)? Thanks.

[@Lukelovesfishingandhunting]

Is it just normal paper you use for the decorative designv

[@rosellamuniz9357]

What are u using to print ur image? I want to Learn how to do it also what paper are you using?

[@daviddibble2879]

Awesome video. Makes it look too easy. Lol. How difficult is the design process and wfat software do you use??

[@kristinopp5975]

I want to start making tumblers where did you get your software to make them and how much did it cost?

[@nicole6756ify]

What printer and tumbler do you use trying to start my own business. Is the website for pictures free or do you pay to get the pictures?

[@tracyishealing911]

I noticed The machine comes with two sleeves: one for mugs (up to 15 ounces) and one for skinny tumblers. What do you use if you want to make larger mugs, curved tumblers, or other odd-sized drink ware? Are there heatpress accessories available for these types of blanks?

[@WildRosehorsetraining.2290]

Thanks for the great video! and your puppy is adorable!!

[@lisad5963]

What kind of paper cutter are you using, love it!!!

[@derrickgray3389]

So i wanna start making them bc they look amazing gonna sound completely lost but what paper is It and where does everyone suggest to get It and what printer requirements are needed for clear image

[@katiejackson477]

So for these tumblers do I not epoxy them ? Are they ready to use after the press?

[@LeanneKear]

Do you have a link for the printing settings you used I know you said it would be linked but I couldn’t see it x

[@haileysnyder5]

What kind of paper do you use to print the designs out on? Is it just regular printer paper or does it need to be a specific kind of paper?

[@TheHollyJollyLife]

Do you use regular paper or a special kind of paper? What about the ink?

[@anthonyanderson4032]

Having trouble transferring for ink to the tumbler.. any advise for a beginner??

[@Jamila182]

Sorry this may be a dumb question. I'm fairly new to the tumbler making community so I've just been watching videos about how to make tumblers etc. Anyways my question for you is, can the sublimation machine handle any sized tumblers? Can plastic tumblers be used in the machine or only metal tumblers? You also mentioned you can make mugs using the machine. How does one go about that when the mug has a handle?

[@JoanaHernandez-v5e]

Hi there! Your videos are so informative but I have a question. I got a seamless file to use for a tumbler, it looks like one big picture (like the flower water color) but I want it to look like the flowers one you have, more images. How can I do that? Do I put the images together and then cut it the size of the tumbler? Sorry if my question doesn’t make sense, since I’m just starting with sublimation I’m not too sure how to ask questions 😅

[@wake847]

Does paper type matter for sublimation prints?

[@brittanylynn925]

Could you tell me where the video of your printer and computer settings are? You said you were going to link it. But I can’t find it 😞

[@luisassis2366]

Wow!!!! I dare to say. You are great!!! You make amazing work!! I want to begin to do sublimations mugs too. I loved your work. Congratulations!!!!

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you so much!!

[@sarablanford4118]

I love your videos. You seem so sweet and make everything look easy. I’m gonna try to make some tumblers.

[@melannieworld]

What type of printer are you using? I know its been a while since you made this video. Any upgrade on the printer?

[@dawnireland2606]

Do my tumblers need to cool completely before I remove the wrap?

[@nataliewhite7170]

Question! How do these wash up? Is there a setting with this press to use the larger tumblers that aren’t uniform in size? ie the Yeti rambler. Thank you!

[@mirandawilliams9578]

How do you determine what your sell price is for the cups? Such as including cost of materials and time?

[@starrmmc9381]

I'm just beginning with this project. What happens with the overlaps, do they shrink?

Hi Sally what printer do you have?
