This is how I make metal prints using sublimation for my business Print Shed Co.

[@medicjitsu7434]

I'd like to see a video covering the needed equipment, cost, and profit.

[@Ipsissimus]

Me too. This video is pointless.

[@WAFFENFABRIK]

This is a hobby video, not a get-rich-quick tutorial lmao

[@medicjitsu7434]

Didn't say anything about "get rich quick ". I asked about cost and profit. Unless you have money to burn you still have to make some profit or your just giving it away. Just because it might by a hobby doesn't mean you can't make some money.

[@OOoOoo-vl9pn]

Your videos make it all look so easy. I'm sure it took a while to get everything to work out just right. Thank you for sharing all your tips with us

[@dlburke1]

How about showing the part before all this. The part where you do the print setup on the computer, what program/process the send to the printer. What are the printer parameters.

[@adamsdimension]

Probably didn't cause printers have been out for multiple decades.

[@averagedudeusa9722]

You need photoshop to adjust the size of the image and colors, tones etc. Then for printing you need to talk to the ink company about the specs. If this guy told you what he does it probably would not work for you. Here is what I do: I use photoshop for image adjustments, Epson eco tank printer using sublimation ink that I buy online. Then the ink company gives me a file to put in my computer called an "ICC profile." The ICC profile allows the ink to work with the printer. Different printers have their own unique ICC profile file. It sounds complex, but after you do it twice it becomes easy. I hope that helps.

[@CloudR-x1p]

​@@averagedudeusa9722Thanks for the help!! Can you tell us which kind of paper you have used for printing?

[@averagedudeusa9722]

@@CloudR-x1p no problem. glad to help. I use TexPrint R. You can find it online at places like coastal sublimation and heat press nation. Do keep in mind that different printers print better on certain brans of paper, but I have never had issues using this brand. This paper brand also works great with sawgrass printers.

[@jeffreyfutch4801]

Great video my friend. You have it going on and you are very organized. Keep up the great work.

[@frankcurrentii6844]

I use wood mdf standoffs that I cut and use a key hole router bit. Like to try some of the aluminum standoffs.

[@douayanglivefor6487]

Awesome video. Can you show us how you print out the picture, like one step at the time from start to finish. Thanks

[@Joseph_FramesOfLife]

I Really admire your work. Where is your source for the metal sheets?

[@AlessandroAjonas]

Excelente trabalho., ficou incrível. Saudações do Brasil !

[@mjremy2605]

Your demo was excellent! I learned a lot. What wonderful prints you make, wow! I think once you see how photos look on aluminum, paper is no longer a medium that satisfies. I want it all in aluminum now. Thank you for an excellent demo! The lack of any music is very much appreciated. ❣❣❣ fyi- Yes, I would get an air compressors to blow out dust. Too exhausting to use your lungs and you also deposit moisture on it. I would get a stiff roller for the backing tape mounting. Much easier on your hands and so many other jobs. Use a wooden rolling pin (Indian store one piece type) for pressing down the metal frame on aluminum sheet.

[@Printshedco]

I agree. Paper gets kind of boring once you see images on metal or acrylic

[@antonios.8163]

Thanks dude, I've been looking for a vid like this 👌🏼

[@Nova-m8d]

That would be cool If you made a checkerboard or chessboard that could hang on the wall. You could theme both versions. It would be functional art.

[@Printshedco]

Cool idea

[@BillyBobBrockali69]

Yeah that would be cool also if it had magnetic playing pieces would be cool also

[@tulw2728]

With all due respect. That’s not an American flag. A few too many extra states (stars and stripes) 😊. Your work is a great example of what and how we should do things. I will be joining your classes soon. There’s no one else (I haven’t found) who could be as clear and to the point with your educational narrative. No time wasted and your prints are always looking perfect. Thank you again.

[@jeremyschmitz7802]

Oh thank god 🙏 someone who's not a midwest stay at home mom 😂 thanks dude i was literally about to sale my set up no joke

[@frankligas2249]

Thanks for the video. I just found your channel through the Google Algorythm. Looks like I need to binge watch all your videos. : ) I work at one of the big print-on-demand companies here in Charlotte, NC but would like to set up my own private print shop. Most of my dye sublimation experience is in printing coffe mugs but I have just stated printing metal posters etc. Most of my experience is with laser cutting and engraving.

[@Printshedco]

Good luck with everything. I'm going to keep putting out videos on this but I also have a really helpful community if you'd like to check it out www.skool.com/print-shed-2919/about

[@MrIceX_replying]

Straight to the point 👉 Really appreciate that mate ❤

[@samanrashidi8683]

Make a video about the paper and what kind of ink to use on it please

[@LorettaKing-l4o]

Love what you're doing, greetings from Connecticut, would love more information as to pricing of equipment and how to get started doing the same type of business myself thank you

[@Printshedco]

Thank you. I have more videos on my channel and an online community that teaches everything I know. Here's a link to that www.skool.com/print-shed-2919/about

[@yyccarportraits]

I've had a few prints where the heat tape left a spot on the print that the image didn't transfer. So basically there's a slight white spot where the heat tape was. I'm wondering if I pressed the heat tape down too well, and maybe when it expanded it made a slight gap in that spot. I notice you kinda put the heat tape on without really pressing it down too much. Have you had that happen? Just a little blank spot on the print where the tape was..

[@FoolToWise]

Which printer you use and which printer is good for low budget

[@iliyanslavov1726]

Can you make a video how your printer is printing for how long time is making a picture and how you are choosing the pictures thank you

[@StraightOuttaContent]

Have you heard of the UJF series Mimaki UV Flatbed printers? I think you could do some amazing things with one

[@Printshedco]

I haven't but I will check them out for sure

[@tamijohnson9870]

LOVE this!!! do you have a link to where you got the large heat press? and how do you print an image that big?

[@wesleypetersen4916]

Enjoyed your video. Please give more detail on the print process of the flag, (onto what type of paper did you print, will photocopy work as well?)

[@2722simo]

@Printshedco Really great video!! Is there a reason you wont answer where you get your blanks from? Are you selling a vendor list? or just gatekeeping because I see several people asking and you did not answer not one of them and I went all they way to the first comment to make sure I didn't miss the info.

[@EDWARDTHEEAUTHOR]

Can you use dtf prints instead?

[@antosunarto9167]

Can you tell me about the backiñg frame that u use? Coz i can't find it.

[@سؤالوجواب-ع7ذ]

Is it possible to print DTF on aluminum? Please reply. Thank you.

[@Zivrulez1]

Is the VEVOR heat press good enough for high quality prints? Also, are you not concerned at al about the vapor coming out from the sublimation process? Some say it might be toxic which deter me from doing it at home

[@Totally_Chaos]

Im curious how/why theres such a large discrepancy between the times of others? I am just now starting metal prints, Ive done one that looks fantastic, I was at 390 for only 50 seconds. Im ordering a large bulk order of blanks and Im going to press for the 4 minutes and experiment.

[@Printshedco]

It depends on the quality of the blanks like the thickness and top coating. I don't understand either why there's so many different potential settings. Lots of experimenting

[@timtomnec]

your "heat tape" is not heat tape, that would be for gutters/pipes to keep them from freezing, what you have is thermal conductive tape. the foam tap is not foam tap, that would be for actual foam, instead you used a double sided tape with foam. small words big difference, This is why people look at you strange when you try to pick stuff up at a brick and mortar store.
