How to Sublimate a Shirt | Step By Step Tutorial for Beginners

[@nicolekathlene]

Literally, an actual video for beginners! Thank you! 🥰

[@aliciat2216]

I agree! I have the printer, ink, paper, shirt and I haven’t done anything yet. I’ve watched a 1000 videos. I think I’m intimidated. I did print out an image and it was super late and color and didn’t look very vibrant so it looks like once you press it, it becomes a bright.

[@NicoleKathlene979]

@Alicia T OMGSH girl- SAME with me! I've had my Cricut Maker, heat presses, and sublimation printer for almost a year and haven't used it once. I also bought a kit to make sublimation & epoxy tumblers but still haven't attempted to do one 🤦🏻‍♀️ I totally agree with you -it can definitely be intimidating, especially seeing how easy & natural it is with other's - I don't have 'craft talent'. What sublimation printer do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

[@Amukutimor69]

Nice video. Thank you. Will the printing color came out when washed?

[@BimzCole]

Agreed. She makes everything simple!!

[@davidbriese6675]

Thank you! Thank you! Thanks you! We finally printed a sublimation shirt without discoloration, burn marks or lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SheWritesHerJourney_]

"Give me coffee to get me started, and Jesus to keep me going" Absolutely love that shirt, love this tutorial. You really explained in full details the importance of each process. The colors are so vibrant and amazing!!!

[@nuyork77]

This is hands-down the best intro video that I have found for sublimation. Thank you for sharing the details of each step and material needed. As someone researching before trying, this is an excellent resource. I will recommend you to anyone asking me for information regarding the process and requirements of sublimation. Thank you!

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you so much, that means a lot!

Just getting into sublimation and my stubborn butt thinks he can just dive into everything full speed ahead. Of course I run in to plenty of problems but this and your mug sublimation video have helped me out so much

[@TheRealsweetxd]

I agree! I've been looking for a sublimation video that was as thorough yet non-dragging and this video was perfect. Straight to the point yet very informative as well. Thanks so much and I look forward to viewing all of your other videos.

[@danabferg5763]

OH MY Goodness...So much easier than trying to do my prints on Design Space then send to Word..I have wasted so much time, ink, paper..Said a few bad words and cried a few tears...Thank you so much for this video Sallie!!

The best sublimation tutorial

[@TTCFutureMommy09]

This was so helpful! Purchasing a sublimation printer today, this tutorial was so easy to follow! Can't wait to see how this process is verses vinyl. I'm so over viynl lol

[@blancapedraza153]

Where did you purchased your sublimation printer?

[@Paperinparadise]

Your videos are so nice. You are very good at talking slow enough and explain it all so well.

[@tracimerrill3532]

Excellent video! To the point and no distractions in the background! Thank you!

[@heathercaldwell6033]

Thank you so much for breaking everything down I’m visualizing person and this helped out so much ❤

[@kimberlyrodriguez8903]

I can’t even express how much I appreciate you for doing these types of videos! I’m just stating out with sublimation, a bit nervous, but I think I’m gonna love it! Thanks again Ms. Sallie😊

[@SimplySallie]

You are more than welcome! Thanks for the support 😊

[@tashabrown8301]

Agreed!!!!

[@chasitysmith7560]

This is great, my question is do I have to reprint the design every time when using the same design on more than one shirt?

[@estrayuh]

@@chasitysmith7560 Yes, each shirt requires a new printout. Even though it looks like there's ink left on the paper, each printout won't transfer well to more than one garment. Do not reuse prints or butcher paper...your results will not be good. That's why she uses a new piece of butcher paper for each shirt. Hope this helps!

[@brittanyutley6848]

Can you share the link for the silhouette studio software? Thank you

[@melissag4291]

I am so glad I found your channel! You are awesome!! Your videos are so informative and easy to understand...not to mention you don't mind sharing the products you use. A big thank you from a fellow SC girl!

New subscriber here and I seriously cannot thank you enough for this AMAZING tutorial, I was feeling so defeated today after working on my printer settings on my computer all day long and feeling like my transfers weren’t bright enough as soon as they came off my printer but your tutorial gave me so much hope/reassurance to know that what I was experiencing was completely normal and that the final product will be a lot more vibrant 😅 thank you so so much! I already feel like I’ve learned so much just from your video 💗💗💗

[@cheylocharms]

Love this video, so smooth and informative! But, for some reason when I go to set up my settings, I don't have any of the options shown here.

[@alexisdavila7379]

I just go my epson printer and this video helped me in every way!! Thank you so much !!!!

Love it. I gotta try it

[@Mauiboy2016]

Aloha! New subscriber here and I enjoy your videos. Very informative and it’s really appreciated.

[@pcbtoys8499]

this is exceptional.... you are wonderful. you should have live tutorials where you charge fee so we can ask as we go in case anyone's a little confused. it's pretty straight forward but you know what it's like doing anything new. No push, just a mention ;) thank you again.

[@haylx0]

@@jessicamarenschi1386 I got the e2760. I have a cricut easy press so I’m going to use that until I’m ready to upgrade. It costed about $400 for the ink, printer, paper, & tape. I am now struggling to find shirts ! Everything says out of stock! Go figure!

Thank you for sharing. Just started sublimating and i see where i made some mistakes.

[@delmaradford3464]

Thank you. You made your video easy to watch and follow.

[@camilleyoung5571]

I just set up my printer and computer for sublimating and your video was right on time. My tray kept trying to activate when my paper was in the cassette portion and that was the ONLY problem I had. Thanks for this video

[@meandmyheatpress6551]

Very good video. I didn't know you could download Silhouette without the Silhouette, brilliant!

[@nancypan23]

Love this video. Is butcher paper your favorite? How do you feel about parchment paper or silicone sheets?

[@missychase9862]

First Shirt I made 400 45 seconds.. browned the butcher paper (from sams club) and the t shirt. I need to check the temperature of the heat press to make sure its accurate I think Thanks for sharing. Love your videos

[@chocolatebutterfly9295]

Wow! This was the best video every. You took your time with us and showed us every step of the way. I noticed you put the Butcher paper inside and on top of the shirt and I clearly understand why, but are you supposed to put the Butcher paper under the shirt also to protect the black mat also?

[@paulsloan4725]

I like the way you take your time on each step.VERY WELL DONE.

[@marybailey643]

Thank you for this video. Loved the way you did this video

[@loseweightwithmealplanning]

I watched one video and got confused. Came to this video and I KNOW what sublimation is and the products that I need. Detailed intro to sublimation for a newbie like me and the designs look amazing!

[@sherryk5313]

Thank you!

[@anitathompson2891]

Oh yes yes yes You just don’t know how much help this video is to Me. I do have one question what brand of sublimation paper do you use

[@louisajohnson8322]

Your work is beautiful. You may have already answered this but can you use the same printed pattern multiple times or do you have to print a new one for each shirt?

[@StarChild420]

Thank you sooo much! This video was very helpful, it gave me a lot of information about what i actually need to get started with this.😄❤️ I love hobbying and sublimation has been on the list for some time now, but i have been confusing myself with reading way to much about things i dont need right away. I do this all the time, find a new hobby and dive in head long without doing proper research or getting wrong or incomplete info, wasting a lot of money.😳 I also really loved your designs, a friend in need is a friend indeed❤

[@Its_RizSab]

Love your videos. Learning so much from you. Question though, how do you set up for receiving payments? I know there are different methods but what do you recommend on that?

[@deniselister3491]

I love your videos and you explain everything so well. Thank you and hopefully you will continue teaching us beginners.....

[@tanyajohnson2957]

Hello, I am so grateful that I found your video! You did such an amazing job with the printer setttings. I have a question regarding the paper you printed on. You stated that it's Premimum Presentation Paper Matte. When I looked this up on amazon, it shows regular copy paper in different sizes. Is this what you used? Or is there a specific Sublmnation paper that is called the Premium Presentation Paper Matte? Thank you for your help.

[@laurahouser2239]

Can you show some video on sublimation on key chain blanks, and other substrates. I love the tips on settings and everything! Thank you!

Thank you for such a great video! You gained a new follower!! I was wondering, would you suggest I buy a brand new Epson printer, or can I get a refurbished one from Epson? I wanted to get a refurbished one since the warranty will be voided anyway, and that way I won’t pay full price for a new one.

[@mrsjt1654]

Beginner here and seriously need some help, while your video was very helpful. I had a question, did you just use bigger print size paper with the regular epson printer? Because it doesn’t look like an oversized printer.
