Note: These are general recommendations and may vary depending on the specific vinyl and sublimation paper used. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for optimal results. Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can cause the colors to fade or bleed. To maintain vibrancy and detail, it is essential to use high-quality sublimation inks and vinyl materials. Additionally, ensuring that the sublimation process is conducted at the correct temperature and pressure settings can help preserve the integrity of the design.

And by the way, if you don’t have a large format printer, you can still do large format projects — you just tape smaller sheets of paper together. I made this doormat with three sheets of regular size paper taped together! I usually sublimate my items at three hundred and EIGHTY to four hundred degrees Farentheit for the best results. So anything that will heat up to four hundred degrees Farentheit is a possibility for sublimation! There’s really a LOT of options. I like the Autopress the best because I don’t have to worry about adjusting pressure and it opens when it’s done, which means I can keep working on something else while it works. I made everything you see here with the Autopress! You can learn more about the Cricut Autopress at jennifermaker.com/cricut-autopress Sublimation Protection

What is Sublimation Printing?

The equipment and consumables needed for vinyl printing cost far less than sublimation. Thus, hobbyists and start-up small businesses tend to prefer this method to get into the craft. Blank Rigid Products — These materials are usually available to buy in bulk, including mouse pads, drinkware, and cell phone cases. If you are low on budget and want to explore design on a wide range of products, and durability is not a priority, go with vinyl. It is the best for hobbyists. If you are adding your vinyl design to a tumbler, mug, or similar object, you can also add some kind of finishing layer over it like a varnish, CrystaLac, or resin to keep it sealed in. The equipment and materials needed for this method are relatively expensive. However, it’s typically worth it in the long run, thanks to the high-quality, long-lasting results.

Having provided an overview of vinyl and sublimation, it should be easy to decide on the path to take. Simply weigh the pros against the cons. But you cannot sublimate onto plain glass, ceramic, or cotton. Sublimation only works well on polyester or a polyester coating applied to another material. Add a mild detergent to the water. Look for a detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics or sublimated materials.And once you are setup to do sublimation, it’s an overall simpler process with longer lasting results. The sublimation end result is a really professional and durable product. How is sublimation different from screen printing?

Some brands of matte or glossy white vinyl will also work for sublimation. In fact, after white glitter HTV, white HTV is the most popular choice of vinyl for sublimation on t-shirts or fabric items. Can a Sublimation Printer Print on Vinyl? Place On Product — Then, you secure the transfer paper onto the product, making sure it’s in the appropriate position. The other consumables are not expensive. Well, except for when you need to replace the special ink on the sublimation printer. Cricut’s line of infusible ink products does not work with sublimation, as they use a slightly different chemical process. Now, if I know you, you’re wondering how sub printing is different from iron on vinyl. And that’s a great question! So iron-on vinyl, also known as heat transfer vinyl, is a thin sheet of PVC with a heat-activated adhesive on one side. You can put iron on vinyl on nearly anything of any color, unlike sublimation, but vinyl doesn’t go into the surface like sublimation — vinyl just lies on top of the surface of your material. So you can feel the edges of the vinyl on your surface, whereas sublimation has no feel at all.

To sublimate onto glitter HTV, you follow almost all the above steps for sublimating on regular HTV. The only variation is in timing and temperature. A: Each sublimation project will be different, but for THIS project you’ll press your clear HTV at 385° F (196° C) for 30 seconds to apply it to your shirt, and then sublimate at the same temperature for 55 seconds. When it comes to cleaning sublimated vinyl, it’s important to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives that can damage the design or the vinyl itself. Here are some substances to steer clear of: To follow this tutorial using cotton T-Shirts and clear sublimation HTV, you’ll need regular white HTV if you’re making a color shirt, as well as some standard sublimation supplies like a sublimation printer (I’ll use my converted Epson Eco-Tank), a heat press (like a Cricut EasyPress 2, or another style), sublimation transfer paper, and other items you can find in my materials list. Follow my list so you can make sure to get the right products.

Sublimation printing works best with synthetic materials that have a high polyester content. While it is possible to print on natural fibers such as cotton or rayon, the results won’t be as vibrant or long-lasting, and will eventually fade away. When printing on cotton fabric, it is important to use a pre-treatment spray or coating to help the ink bond with the fabric. Find the Best Temperature A printer, cutter, and heat transfer machine are pretty straightforward and not hard to use. Even better if you’ve used them before on other projects or know someone who has.Another effect of sublimation issues on vinyl is the blurring or distortion of designs. This can occur if the sublimation ink does not fully transform into a gas or if the pressure applied during the sublimation process is uneven. As a result, the design may appear smudged or blurry, diminishing its clarity and impact. The press time and temperature to sublimate on vinyl can vary depending on the type of vinyl you use. To initiate the sublimation process, your heat press needs to reach a temperature of at least 350℉, and you can sometimes use a temperature as high as 400℉ if the kind of vinyl allows it.
