Hi! Unfortunately, I am not too familiar with the process, I have never had to clear the lines before. But I know it can be done, there are several KZbin video showing the process in detail, and there is a kit that you can order on Amazon to help make the process a lot easier.

[@mercedescaldera1718]

I love your video !! So does this mean that I can out these images that the converted printer prints can go on ANY shirt or only polyester count shirt ?

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Thank you so much! For sublimation it does need to be a polyester shirt. 100% polyester is best, but you can also use a blend as long as the polyester count is high (around 75%). The synthetic fiber of polyester is able to take the ink in and infuse it into the fibers, but natural fibers like cotton can not.

[@corinacorona5240]

Hello great video how do you get just the wording on the shirts with our a white square around it

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Hi! Thank you so much for watching. With Sublimation, it only transfers whatever you print out on the paper in ink. Most printers don’t print white (some more expensive ones do) so if you have an image with white in it then it will be blank areas. Whatever the area you are sublimating onto will show up. So if you need white in certain areas of a design, then you will need a white item such as a t-shirt or mug that is the color white otherwise be mindful that the plain white paper never transfers with Sublimation.

[@MiMiOrt]

THANK YOU! This explanation was great and finally understand everything. I do have a question: Can I still make it a sublimation printer after the original ink (Epson) I put in the printer finishes? I have the EcoTank 2840.

[@bobhopkins3520]

When you wash shirts after pressing.. what's that like? Do the items wash normally? does any ink end up in the wash water or bleed to other clothing?

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

As long as the shirt is polyester no ink will wash out. With the sublimation process the ink becomes a permanent part of the shirt. However if you use a shirt that is not polyester then it may wash out. The synthetic fibers are what take the ink in. Cotton can not hold onto the ink like polyester can. I have a video where I show the process of sublimating a poly cotton blend sweatshirt and I do a wash test to see how it holds up. Since it was a blend some of the ink washed out which resulted in the image looking a bit faded but still fully visible.

[@dessyedeeclark1144]

Some dyers will put a 'sacrificial' piece of cloth into a wash with the item they are wishing to dye. Any residual dye then is absorbed by the other fabric swatch and less likely to coat and stain your machine. Not sure about the sublimation ink residue, it may stay in suspension and simply drain out with the wash water.

[@Faultyappliances4]

Wondering if cannon eco tank would work ? Thanks

[@patriciadays2246]

Hi so you do need a heat press I have a little cricut press would that work or no

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Hi! Depending on the item you want to sublimate a Cricut press could work. I have never personally used one, but I have seen people on KZbin use their Cricut easy press to sublimate T-shirts 😊

[@itacervantes1196]

QUESTION: When turning the printer on do I have to download any software to my computer? Will I have to install an Epson app?? Or just turn the printer on and connect it to my wifi? TIA

[@Slim545]

I have sublimation paper do you really need the heat tape to hold it down ? And do you need the polyester or cotton or it doesn’t matter ?

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Yes unfortunately the fabric definitely has to be polyester, cotton fibers can not take in the ink. Tape is helpful for keeping the image in place. When you put the heat press down it can shift the image without tape.

[@Slim545]

@@LifeofStyleBlog does the sublimation paper type matter? And does the printer or heat press matter? I have a Epson 2800 ecotank printer

Do I need to convert to sublimation? Or can epson inkjet just be used for regular inkjet heat transfer paper?

[@MaryVonHook]

Your video about the printer was so usefull! But now im wondering, what program do you use to get the images printed?

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Thank you!! You don’t need any special program to print out the images, you can just use Microsoft Word, or if you have a Mac you can use Pages. Both of those programs let you mirror the image or flip it before you print, that way when you sublimate it will be the correct way. I have a video showing how I create free designs and how I print them for sublimation, I’ll leave it linked here ✨ m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJSohox8dqpggtU

[@allisonhughes9104]

Hi!! i press shirts also and the brown around the side of the sublimation happened to mine too. i found a trick or spraying hydrogen peroxide from a water bottle and onto the shirt then hovering the heat press over it for awhile took most the brown out of the shirt!!

[@TheUnderCoverMother2020]

Yep Hydrogen peroxide has a bleaching effect.

[@victoriouslearners290]

was the running shirt supposed to have those lines through it?

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Hi! Are you referring to the lines around the image from the paper? Those are just impressions from the pressure of the paper. It came out after I washed the shirt. The edges of the paper will sometimes leave an imprint on the shirt because of the pressure and heat. You can always ease up the pressure a bit or you can actually tear the edges of the paper a bit around your image to try and help with the harsh lines. I have done it both ways but after washing the shirt I have never had an issue where the lines were still visible.

[@crowmoon9922]

Great video! Thank you. Question: if I had already filled the eco tanks with the eco ink already(before knowing I could turn it into a sublimation) can I use the ink in the printer until fully empty and then switch over to the sublimation ink instead? Thank you in advance for your response. ❤

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Thank you!! Yes, that is a possibility, but I do believe the process of fully emptying the ink is a little bit more complicated. Even if all the ink is gone, the lines will have to be cleared out as well before adding the sublimation ink. I’ve never done it myself, but I know it can be done, and there are some videos online to walk you through that process.

[@crowmoon9922]

Hi I just got this printer and I was wondering if I can use a different brand of ink or does it have to be hippo

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Hi! No, it does not need to be Hiipoo at all! It just has to be Sublimation ink. Regular printer ink will not work for sublimation. Once you do choose a brand of ink you are going to want to stick with that brand though and not mix them in the printer. I hope this helps!

Not at all, that’s completely fine! If the ink is already in the machine just keep the printer upright when moving it.

[@hayes0404]

Once you put in sublimation ink there’s no way to use regular printer ink is there? Like I’d need to buy two, one for regular printing and one for sublimation? Or can I take out the cartridges in the printer

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Yes, once the sublimation ink is in the printer it can only be used for sublimation. I have two different printers, this one for sublimation and then another one for my everyday paper printing. Since this is an easy fill type of printer there aren’t any cartridges that can be removed and put back in. The tank that takes the ink in is fixed to the machine. I hope this helps!

[@jamiemoore6661]

What print setting did you use? High quality? How do you change the printer settings for maximum color and printing quality?

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

I always print on the best quality setting and I choose matte paper as my paper option. When you go to print on the computer there should be a pop up with the printer settings. It will ask the paper style and quality setting. There is an arrow with a drop down menu that you can select from.

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Thank you! I’m so glad you liked the video. It should work as long as there is no ink in the printer. The renewed printer should have empty ink tanks and the lines should be cleared of ink, so you should be good to go with you sublimation ink. I did have an issue with that in the past where I got a renewed one from Amazon, but I think it was really just a return and the printer already had printer ink in it. I had to return it and purchase a new one. But that doesn’t usually happen so I think it should be fine.

Thanks for the vid. Im assuming once your sublimation ink is gone, you can reload with the normal Epson ink and itll be fine for inkjet printing?

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

I am not sure about that. There may be a way, but the sublimation ink does last a really long time, and even when it is done it could still be in the lines. I have a separate printer that I use for printing my normal papers, and a separate printer that is designated only for sublimation.

Once you use your printer for sublimation, it will remain for that purpose. Theres videos that show how to flush it to clean it and convert it back to original, BUT IS NOT RECOMENDED.

I believe you can use an Ecotank to print out an image for a Heat Iron Transfer but it would have to be ink that is approved for that and NOT sublimation ink. You can only use sublimation ink sublimating ink onto fabric or a blanks when using a heat press, but this is not the same as heat transfer vinyl. I hope this helps. 💕

Hi there! I have the same heat press and bought the same sublimation ink but idk what I'm doing wrong ?? It's not printing onto the shirt ?? Is it because the shirt I used is 100% cotton and colored black ?? I'm so confused on what I'm doing wrong 😅😅

Hi!! Yes that is exactly right, the fabric has to be polyester. 100% polyester is best, but a high count polyester will work also. The cotton fibers can not take in the ink so unfortunately it does not work on cotton. But it also will not work on black, even if it is polyester. The black is just too dark for the ink to show up. White is best, but any light color will usually work. 💕

Do you need to do certain printer settings?

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

I always print on best to make sure you are getting the best quality and I also change my paper setting to matter photo paper. 😊

I love your video I just got a eco tank ink jet 2850 printer i’ve been a little hesitant about converting it but after seeing your video I kind of calm myself down so I’ve made the decision to convert it to a sublimation printer I already have my sublimation hippo ink I only have a easy press from cricut will that work.

Aww thank you so much!! When I first started hearing about sublimation I had soooo many question haha 😆 I had no idea what was going on lol 😂 luckily it is a lot easier than I initially thought 🤗💕

@@LifeofStyleBlog That is so funny that Ihad all the same questions not only about sublimation but about the heat press as well and I thought it was all complicated and said forget about it but now I see it's not that hard to get started👍

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

No not too hard at all 🤗 I am working on some new Dollar Tree Easter DIY’s today and just wanted to check with you if it is okay to show the yarn wrapped wood eggs that we had talked about (like the yarn hearts) and give you a shout out in the video 😊

Just did some t-shirts with HTV. I so need to get into this sublimation thing too. Great video. Subscribed.

Welcome!! Thank you so much for subscribing!! I’ve really been loving sublimation! I’ve been able to make some really wonderful gifts for friends and family 🤗 I have some fun sublimation projects planned for this week!

Hi I love watching your video you explained everything very easy I just purchased my echo Tank 2850 printer I’m going to convert it into a sublimation printer I already have my hippo sublimation ink but I only have the cricket easy press will that work to do T-shirts

[@LifeofStyleBlog]

Hi!! Thank you so much for watching! I was honestly kind of nervous myself but once I jumped in I was so relieved that it was pretty simple 🤗 Those hippo easy fill bottles are also very user friendly! I think that is a great idea to use the cricket easy press for T-shirts and then down the line you could always choose to invest in a heat machine if you want. I believe the one I used in the video is around $190 on Amazon but it did also come with some attachments. I have heard form others that another good option is to check Facebook Market Place for gently used ones in your area. Sometimes you can find a good deal if someone is looking to upgrade their heat press and want to sell their current one 💕😊
