Sublimating On Oracal 651

[@debrafreeman8825]

Nice to see you again. I buy Siser for most of my projects. I was so glad when I found Joe! I am 69 married 54 years. But Joe makes my heart skip a beat. He makes it so easy to learn, so do you and I love your daughter ❤

Using a lightpad makes it easy to line up the sublimation. Also work when doing it onto htv. Just slide the lightpad in the shirt after pressing the htv line it up then remove lightpad! no more guessing

[@byMidnyt]

or you could print & cut the sublimation, that way it's already the same shape.

[@ThatJerkFromCali]

@@byMidnyt No. with most designs there would be too many pieces it's easiest to tape 1 single piece of paper.

[@ufoquilter86]

If I am using 651 with those cutting boards, sublimate over that.. which I have done before… can I heat it like your sticker then attach it the the cutting board like a sticker and it will show thru to the front side and stay on like the cutting boards do?

[@lisaharm9134]

My print came out very dull when I sublimated on the oracal 651 but the colors were much brighter when I used the same print on laminate sheets. Do you know why it's so dull?

[@ARXER-hi1zs]

Orcal 651 is intended for outdoors. Might as well use inkjet waterslide paper for indoor non water projects and save your 651.

[@melly3995]

I was gonna say I thought oracal is intended for outdoors lol like car decals and stuff now I’m confused

[@jessiediemer1186]

You can use 651 indoors its not just outdoors

[@Nene_2015]

If it's because the fading couldn't we use uv clear sticker sheet?

[@OldHobbit76]

yes you kan . i did this and its on my car for 1 year now no probs yet

[@fs3662]

what would you recommend using for a plastic water bottle? (that can be put in water)

[@ProWorldInc]

Siser® EasyPSV® Starling™ by Avery Dennison® is an adhesive vinyl that is dishwasher safe. When applied to a plastic water bottle, it should hold up to being immersed in water. www.proworldinc.com/heat-transfer-vinyl/siser.html?vinyl_type=8650

[@fs3662]

@@ProWorldInc Thank you. I also notice some videos showing to use laminating on top of the vinyl before putting on the sublimation. Is that a necessary step?

[@ProWorldInc]

@@fs3662 Siser EasyPSV Starling vinyl is not something we have tested with sublimation. The laminating sheet should accept the sublimation inks, but that is something you would have to test. The Oracal 651 does not need a laminating sheet since you can sublimate directly onto the vinyl.

[@ruthybarretta7955]

So what do you recommend for a car sticker

[@ProWorldInc]

You will want to use printable EasyPSV. You will print this type of vinyl using a large format eco solvent or solvent printer.

[@brookecausey1518]

I tried to do this last night and followed the instructions perfectly and the paper wouldn’t peel off the 651 😩

[@ProWorldInc]

You may want to lessen your termperature and wait for the paper to cool completely. Were you using texprint paper?

[@brookecausey1518]

@@ProWorldInc I use epson sublimation paper that came with my epson F570 printer, I tried less temperature, time, and pressure...not sure why it is sticking.

[@SNBI_Videos]

Can this same process be done on a black cotton shirt?

[@ProWorldInc]

The process in the video was for sign vinyl on surfaces. To print on garments you will need a printable heat transfer vinyl that is compatible with a sublimation printer. You may want to try easysubli www.proworldinc.com/heat-transfer-vinyl/easysubli.html

Hi from Wisconsin

[@Nene_2015]

oh great thank you.

[@Nene_2015]

But I thought you use 651 for car decal?

[@jacquelineponyard6504]

do you mirror the image?

[@ProWorldInc]

You will want to mirror your print but do not mirror the cut vinyl.

[@renetastevenson8490]

My laminate is not staying on vinyl. What am I doing wrong?

[@ClownfishDepot]

Same here. Did you figure out a solution?

[@yvonnetucker1416]

GOOD DEAL

[@RoundBallDefender]

Why not just sublimate first, and then cut out the finished sticker on the cameo, so you aren’t trying to find the edges and have to marry the two pieces perfectly?

[@TJ-yk8tq]

how would you line it up so the cutting machine finds it perfectly on your mat? learning here!

[@olubunmiosinuga7258]

Note to self: I NEED a light box. Check!!

[@LanceMcGrew]

Oracal 651 has no Polyester so this will not hold up.

[@tankankhamen9522]

Anyone that tells you to sublimate on Vinyl has no idea what they are doing, vinyl aka PVC breaks down into hazardous chemicals at these temps, don't do this

[@alistairbain6149]

Not all vinyl is PVC. Definitely check, though. PVC is certainly hazardous.
