Certainly something to watch for in the future, but as I'm just starting out I'll be sticking to transfer printing for the foreseeable. I'd certainly be interested if the price was agreeable, but I'm just wondering how much of that powder will need to be stored in order to have enough to last a couple of months.
+Dug's Den I'll be looking intothis and will report after further tests but sublimation inks are very dear compared to the inks I am using. Cheers Martin
You said the paper was twice as dear at the moment and you mention the sub inks costs are ten fold compared to the third party inks you use in the Epson, to me this wouldn't seem very cost effective for the average home user unless there is an added benefit to sub inks v third party dye inks. I guess only trial and error and time will tell. Thanks for the vid, very informative.
+TheMrBarso This is true as sublimation inks are very dear but if you had an intricate design that you would struggle to cut and weed out, this could be an option. You'd save on time having to create the cut lines and cut the image out on a cutter. I also had another person tell me that they made 800 mousemats on one set of sublimation inks in their Ricoh printer so these Ricohs are very good on ink as well. It's worth investigating though. Cheers Martin
Your videos are very informative Martin, would you say stay away from sublimation altogether and how do you get your transfers lined up perfectly if you don't measure the transfer up to the garment? Cheers, Baz
Yes, I didn't use sublimation on t shirts as it was too expensive and you can't sublimate on 100% cotton t shirts. I have a video on how I place the transfers on.
To protect your equipment ,your supposed to use non wax butcher paper for the top & bottom. Also between the shirt not inking the back. I don't know if you do know . Just suggesting. Thank You for the new technique
Great videos mate. I wonder if this stuff would work on wood or porous stone coasters. The problem is I would like to experiment with this stuff but the smallest amount I can see to buy is 100 sheets I'd only need some samples. keep up the good work.
Hello martin, once again thank you for sharing the info great work congratulations first attempt.. Question do I need two printers with two different inks to print on mugs and Tshirts.? Greetings from me in USA
that is cool because now you can buy a epson 1430 and use sublimation inks in it and now print on cotton...damnnnn sublimation stepped its game up for sure....
Oh Man.. That looks awful. Do you have any experience with ChromaBlast products? And thank you very much for the answer Martin! Your vids are really cool and useful!
Hi me name is Lorraine and I'm looking to know if that t-shirt paper and polyamide powder works with a sawgrass printer.. I don't want to purchase them two items on till I know that it works with sawgrass printer... thanks Lorraine.
Thanks for your reply, if I have one more question for Ricoh printers (serie SG3110,2100...with dye subl.tinte,color that is sold with a printer on ebay or need a special ink for cotton), whether it be a special setting for cotton or just comes to powder and paper?I need a printer for sublimation of cotton, but do not know because I heard from extra settings....thanks
I do not use sublimation for t shirt printing, I tested this sublitocotton product but after a few washes, it lost quality so I don't recommend it. Cheers Martin
HI Martin, love the vids mate. I use an Epson 1500w for sublimation with a ciss kit. Would you say that the Rioch is better? I only ask because of your above comment about you only using your Epson for transfers. Thanks
MsKingRTR I've had about 6 Epson printers over the years for sublimation and all had problems with head and nozzle blockages and they waste so much ink in the maintenance cycles. This is why I use the Ricoh printers with the subli jet R sublimation inks. I have never had any issues and the cartridges last for ages. Cheers Martin
APPOID I don't use sublimation ink on T shirts as it is very dear. This was a test on the t shirt with sublimation ink. I only use sublimation on Mugs only and these cartridges last very well as the images are only small. If you check out my other videos, you'll see I've many vids on what I do so you could have made an informed comment instead of judging on just one video. Thanks Martin
hat paper did you used? is that light transfer paper or sublimation paper?? I am having a problem every time I used sublimation paper , I can't really get the exact light color that I wanted, and if I used the light transfer paper the white side of the paper remain on t-shirt .. Read more REPLY
Not sure if you are still printing? But I'm new to printing i have sublimation paper but read online i need sublimation cotton paper for tshirts is this correct? Currently using ink experts light weight dye sublimation paper.
+Martin Butler Thank you. I Just got a sawgrass virtuoso sg800, quite new to sublimation, getting used to pressure vs temp for vibrant results, much better than transfers though. Thanks.
ive been doing this for a few weeks now but I didn't get the paper your using I just used normal sub paper and put polyester powder on image and shake of powder like in video.get your powder from ebay.works perfectly
not successful sublimating on black or dark shirts as image not vivid enough so I stick with white shirts go to ebay search for Epoxy Polyester powder coat 900g white seller is moynabee
+David Monks ohhh nice, thank you so much. As i have some idea and i not realy need visid most I need is white color (for black tees} and black (for white tees) how do you think? it will work in this way?
Hi Martin, Thanks for the video. Actually I am trying to venture out into T-shirts printing business but I hate to do it on polyester fabric and I cannot afford to buy the Direct to Garment machine. Any suggestions, much Appreciated Cheers !!
Thanks Martin, I would like to know few more additional details as to what printer would you prefer for this kinda heavy duty printing eg. the make, model number and the quality of the print as in resolution and the colour vibrancy etc. Iam a complete novice when it comes to these things. Could you please suggest something. Cheers !!
Not at all, I have used dye based inks for my transfer printing for 11 years. If you check out my other t shirt videos, you will see I provide proof that dye inks are fine. Most people will tell you to use pigment inks but most people just follow the leader and quote what others say without proof. I provide proof on my channel. Cheers Martin
Martin can you tell me that after washing several times on sublitocotton.com onto 100% cotton white did the image stay. I have a ricoh with sawgrass inks and pulling my hair out.Please help me with this I NEED ANSWERS !!! Mandy
Hey Martin. I’ve watched your other vid Where you say it looks good after a few washes. But was going through the comments here and I notice you say this product doesn’t last very well. So it’s no good?
Martin Butler Well, not the only way. Most places doing color Tshirts are using direct ink printing. I do sublimation printing but hate using polyester. There is another new film for printing on cotton with sublimation but it has the same feel as an iron-on. Looks great but no thanks.
would you be able to help me im new to all this just staring up and i have no clue on how to use photo shop iv watch your video on how to size a mug but id like to do a name to put on a steel dish so just say Lola i can flip it but i struggle with making sure its the right size when it comes to printing
There is special way of washing it so it doesn't fade. I have one silly question for you how much t-shirts can you print out before running out of ink ?
Well im asking because of me :D . I want to get into printing. And i'm doing some math. So it's important for me to know how much ink/cost i use per t-shirt. Thats why im asking.
I have videos where I go through my ink set up. Please have a look at my other videos where you'll get a full picture of my set up. ink price per shirt is not an issue.
Martin Butler, nice vid, I know this about 2 -4 month. But still nice vid. Will be interesting to see on dark tshirt if you do a test VID for e.g. on black tshirt, what do you think ? ;)

It didn't wash very well though. I did a video on the results.

I am curious Martin, I wander what the difference is between the powder used here and plastisol powder?
i use the heat gun, heating the paper with polimer before i put it on T-Shirt. Allows me to make corrections of positioning without leaving stains.
+Nejamedia Robert Reich Nice tip. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Martin
+Martin Butler np. Like you channel, keep up the good work! Cheers!

Can be sublimated into a normal sublimatic paper, or it is necessary to be in the paper of sublitocotton?
which powder you are sprading on tshirt?
The collor is insetred in to material or is extra layer on material surface, can u feel it at hand ? is it rigid?
This stuff is not very good bud.
What kind of white powder is it?
Your videos are very informative Martin, would you say stay away from sublimation altogether and how do you get your transfers lined up perfectly if you don't measure the transfer up to the garment? Cheers, Baz
Yes, I didn't use sublimation on t shirts as it was too expensive and you can't sublimate on 100% cotton t shirts. I have a video on how I place the transfers on.

I.ve done this for 13 years, I know what I am doing.
Hello, I'm sorry you took my suggestion wrong & was offended. I did say I don't know if you new this & I was learning from you. God Bless!!!!
Great videos mate. I wonder if this stuff would work on wood or porous stone coasters.
The problem is I would like to experiment with this stuff but the smallest amount I can see to buy is 100 sheets I'd only need some samples. keep up the good work.

Hello martin, once again thank you for sharing the info great work congratulations first attempt.. Question do I need two printers with two different inks to print on mugs and Tshirts.? Greetings from me in USA
Hi Marjorie,
Yes, I have an Epson 1500W with dye based inks for my t shirt biz and a Ricoh printer with Sawgrass Sublimation inks for the mug biz.
that is cool because now you can buy a epson 1430 and use sublimation inks in it and now print on cotton...damnnnn sublimation stepped its game up for sure....
this product didn't turn out to be any good bud.
damnn so no product is good to sublimate onto cotton yet ....i suppose they all do not bind well into the shirt fabric....
Martin Butler how so? Just watched your video. So it turned out that sublimation on cotton is still a no?
Check out this vid ua-cam.com/video/ywSR9W60BKM/v-deo.htmlm24s to see why.
Oh Man.. That looks awful. Do you have any experience with ChromaBlast products? And thank you very much for the answer Martin! Your vids are really cool and useful!
did you do videos on how to weld a transit van?
Yes I did on my Retrorestore channel
Great job bud. Dude I freaking love your accent, thanks for the awesome video. 😊❤️
Haha, thanks bud. All the best.
Martin

Don't know what you mean bud.

Great stuff. What model printer do you use?
+D_ S_C For sublimation, it's a Ricoh 3300n and for t shirt transfers it's an Epson 1500W with dye based inks.

Does the powder process paper require a specific printer?
+Tyron Knight It requires sublimation ink. The Ricoh printer and ink combination I use is the best in my opinion.
hi please can you tell me wghere i can buy the polymer powder for sublimation on the tshirts
Check out my other test vid on this powder, it's not very good.
hat paper did you used?
is that light transfer paper or sublimation paper??
I am having a problem every time I used sublimation paper , I can't really get the exact light color that I wanted, and if I used the light transfer paper the white side of the paper remain on t-shirt ..

i think it would be way to costly
how well does the colors hold after washing?
+T Knight So far it's been fine.

Do they sell the polymer powder seperately?
After testing, this product doesn't last. I did a vid on the results.
hey martin. where can i buy the powder you are useing?
+gatkuothgp There's a link in the video description.
Not sure if you are still printing? But I'm new to printing i have sublimation paper but read online i need sublimation cotton paper for tshirts is this correct?

can I get the paper and powder out in the states?
+Tyron Knight I don't know bud. try subliblanks, they might know.
So this will never peel? Only fade over time of washes?
This powder fades very quickly
How does it hold up with a wash
+john marshall I'll be doing an update soon.
How can you get this effect on a black cotton t-shirt? I'm looking for a soft feel. Seems like it's unachievable though?
This powder is no good bud. It washes out quickly.
ive been doing this for a few weeks now but I didn't get the paper your using I just used normal sub paper and put polyester powder on image and shake of powder like in video.get your powder from ebay.works perfectly
+David Monks Maybe you tested on black or dark tees? what is a result?
I only sublimate on white shirts as it not very successful on dark shirts
You mean not successful is that need white under base ?
not successful sublimating on black or dark shirts as image not vivid enough so I stick with white shirts go to ebay search for Epoxy Polyester powder coat 900g white seller is moynabee
+David Monks ohhh nice, thank you so much.
As i have some idea and i not realy need visid most I need is white color (for black tees} and black (for white tees) how do you think? it will work in this way?
Also could you let us know if you can iron the print?
+Skynepsis I don't recommend ironing on the transfers as you can't generate the constant heat and pressure as you can with a heat press.
Cheers
Martin
+Martin Butler Sorry Martin I meant can you iron the print after it's printed?
Skynepsis
It's best to iron them inside out as with any printed garment.
+Martin Butler Thank you, I maybe be selling my OKI soon and moving to sublimation, this information is really appreciated.
Skynepsis
No problem.
Cheers
Martin

WHAT IS THIS POWDER NAME. PLEASE DESCRIBE IT?
Which Product of white colour discribe the white podder and tell the name please//////////..........
Its sublitocotton but its not made any more. It wasn't very good after washing.
Sir what is the reason why is hard to do sublimation on 100% cotton without that special powder and special sublimation paper?
For sublimation, you need a polyester material for the inks to bind to when heated. The inks do not bind to 100% cotton material

What is That powder Called? And where can i purchase it?

Yes, the product was not reliable
what kindof polymer powder is it? SAP or RSP?
I don't use this product, I only tested it and it's not that good after washing.
Thank u so much for your videos!!
Hi how can I purchase the powder ?
The powder doesn't wash well. I did a follow up vid on this
Hey Martin. I’ve watched your other vid Where you say it looks good after a few washes. But was going through the comments here and I notice you say this product doesn’t last very well.
So it’s no good?
Yes Nick, it seemed ok at first but failed soon after.
Cool, thanks Martin, that’s saved me some time and money. Top man.
Can you get this in the USA?
I don't know bud
Martin were can i buy this from
Its not a good product bud. It fails after a couple of washes.
Thanks for the reply Martin shame tho it looked good
Is there currently a product that’ll make this possible for black 100% cotton t shirt ?
No there isnt.
I have a feeling that this is very similar to an iron-on. There is no way that the design is absorbed completely into the fabric.
No of course it woudn't be fully absorbed. Sublimation would be the only way to achieve that.
Cheers
Martin
Martin Butler Well, not the only way. Most places doing color Tshirts are using direct ink printing.
I do sublimation printing but hate using polyester.
There is another new film for printing on cotton with sublimation but it has the same feel as an iron-on.
Looks great but no thanks.
what is the name of the powder please??
It is no good after washing
what % polyester/cotton t-shirt can you sublimate on please?
Check with the suppliers It depends on their mix I suppose.
Nice video...but how can i purchase this product? I am not from UK, but i want to buy it :( can U help me ?
+Mech Dread Try contacting sublitocotton to see if they can point you to a supplier

After a few washes, the image faded badly. They don't make it any more.
I want purchase polymer power in India
The cost of the powder? Reasonable?
It's a bit dear and not very good after washing after my tests.
There is special way of washing it so it doesn't fade. I have one silly question for you how much t-shirts can you print out before running out of ink ?
Marko Stepanovic
the ink I use is not an issue. the price is really cheap.

Well im asking because of me :D . I want to get into printing. And i'm doing some math. So it's important for me to know how much ink/cost i use per t-shirt. Thats why im asking.
