Want to get started with sublimation? It's just that easy. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Grab an Epson printer (I have the ET-3760) and fill the tanks with Hiipoo sublimation ink. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Print your design (mirrored) and heat press it on your shirt. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
No drying time and no layers to add! Your full color design just soaks right into the shirt leaving a soft feel.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
For all the details, like what blanks work with sublimation and the program I use to print, head to my blog to read all about it. I'm answering FAQs to help you understand the entire process.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
With this process you can do photos or shading effects that you just can't do with screen printing. But... there are some limitations.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
How does this compare to screen printing? There's so much I want to share with you about the 2 methods that I couldn't fit it all in one post. So, I'm going to be back tomorrow sharing all about screen printing vs. sublimation. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What do you think? Is this a process you want to get started with? ⁠⁠

👀 Look what just arrived in my craft room! Have you tried sublimation before? ⁠
⁠
Tomorrow I'm going to share all about converting a basic ink jet printer to a sublimation printer. Then, I'll show you how easy it is to make t-shirts with sublimation. ⁠
⁠
If you're curious how this process compares to screen printing, I'll be sharing all about that too. 😉⁠
⁠
Can't wait to put this machine to work!! If you've done sublimation or curious to learn how, let me know in the comments below!⁠

Screen printed blankets are one of my go-to gift ideas. I love how the ink soaks into the material leaving the blanket feeling soft! ⁠
⁠
You guys were a huge help earlier this week when I asked for auction gift basket ideas in my stories. I decided to go with a school spirit basket and this is one of the items that will go in it. ⁠
⁠
Blankets would be great for teacher appreciation coming up too! ⁠
⁠
I'll share the link to these blanks in my stories today (or check my highlights if you miss it).⁠

Here's an idea to add to your Etsy shop... personalized garden flags. 🌻🌷⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Any design that you can cut on your Cricut can be printed on a garden flag with screen printing!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I used my press for this project so I could check the ink coverage. Printing on burlap often takes a few coats for it to get into all the groves.⁠⁠
