    I like to do Sublimation printing too. I use a Epson ET-2720 with special ink in it. I find these setting to work the best = Paper Type: Premium Photo Paper Gloss, and Quality set to the highest mark (press "more" to see the highest mark). This will add more ink to your heat-transfer paper. This is important because your paper will absorbed and keep some of that ink inside it - even when transferring the print to the canvas. You'll get crisper lines and details in your transfer this way. I make Doll Fabric and the small print needs to be as detailed as possible. This is just a suggestion, but I hope it helps! All the best! 💕

    It was so fun to see a glimpse of your home and hometown! Your hometown is SO GORGEOUS! Wow, that artwork you drew for Patreon looks AMAZING! Love the colors and the lighting! Yes, it is very important to figure out your costs! I've had people tell me they didn't want to raise the price of their items because their items wouldn't sell, but you're not making a profit if you're not pricing your items right! Excited to see your next vlog about the market!

    Bia, you're videos always makes my smile a bit brighter. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
    Great tips for those starting out. I remember my early days many years ago. It was exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I share this video with my daughter. She's gathering the supplies she needs. She plans to launch her online store in May which happens to be her birth month.
    Thanks so much for giving us a peek into your daily life. It's so beautiful. I cannot wait to receive my package. I always enjoy watching you get your packages ready, and now since I'm supporting you through Patreon, I'm honored to be receiving one of those packages. The mice are adorable, and they are my favorite critters, which makes my first package from you even more special. I cannot wait! :)

    Lo que debes hacer es poner un cartón en medio para que le de altura y así puedas sublimar y que quede pareja la sublimación... el problema está en las costuras, las costuras que tiene alrededor hacen que el lugar que quieres sublimar se hunda y que la tela no reciba bien la tinta del papel de sublimación... ten cuidado con eso... es preferible que sublimes una tela de poliéster y luego tú misma hagas las costuras y coloques la cremallera, lo mismo pasa si quieres sublimar un bolso ya cosido... debes poner un cartón en medio y eso le dará la altura para que sublimes sin problema-. y también prueba de poner polvo de poliamida en el papel ya impreso... debes curar primero la poliamida para que tome la tinta y luego sublimas a 150° por 15" ... los colores quedarán mas nítidos.

    Hello, you sometimes have to read the fine details with Amazon sublimation products, they aren't always what the title says. But to test, I would make a small design with time and temp and press, move over repeat. I wouldn't waste so many and you also have the back. But with testing anything with sublimation, small sections you can even include the time and temp in the print for future comparison.

    • @aPenasIllustrator
      @aPenasIllustrator  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah I know, this journey started with searching for sublimation inks, ordering and ending up with a printer with normal inks 😂 I did that after the first two after getting them better, printed on both sides. But I’ll do that next time! Thanks :)
