Sublimate on Canvas with Laminate Sheets! | Silhouette School Blog 😍 Make a reverse canvas sign by sublimating! The trick is laminator sheets..and an adorable design! 👉 sofontsy.com/products/big-dog-design-bundle-tbt
Melissa, this was so much fun to make. Your instructions were spot on. I flew right through it. Only problem I had, I went to use my new super duper glue gun and it sparked and popped. Didn’t even get to use it once. Had to use my old one. Thank you for the excellent instructions!
If selling that though I would get a sheet of (however big the frame) backing and use shallow tack nails to cover the back, looks more complete and professional. But it looks great!!
Instead of removing the canvas just find a piece of wood or some old hardback books that fit in well. It doesn't matter so much on the edges. It still works well. Also you can sublimate straight onto the canvas just don't wash it....
Melissa, I'm curious... instead of the laminate sheet can I spray the sub spray on the canvas and then sublimate the image onto the canvas? Thanks for all you videos; they are amazing!! Missy
Hi I’m new to your channel & everything basically lol. I’m watching one of your videos from last year. I see that I have a lot of videos to watch. Thanks 😊 I have a question- you mentioned an e-book that you made & sell. How do I find it?
Hi there! I would use glitter HTV instead of laminate. Check out this tutorial: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/04/sublimate-on-cotton-using-white-glitter.html
I’m so confused about so many things. What’s difference between sublimination and HTV and other like printer inks. I couldn’t find information what’s benefits to have them.
Hi there! If you're talking about the cardstock like poster board (and not the kind with a corrugated core) you can follow this tutorial for cut settings: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2020/12/best-cardstock-for-silhouette-cameo-and.html
@@SilhouetteSchool I have the cameo pro 4. I want to see how you would create a life size character like an Elmo. Using the poster board that it's sold at the dollar stores the big sheets.
Is there any way these videos can be uploaded at higher quality than 360p? I love your videos, but have a really hard time seeing any detail at the lower quality.
Unfortunately, b/c they are originally done as Facebook Lives, this is the upload quality to UA-cam. Our higher resolution, post-edited videos are all on SilhouetteU.com and include fully edited start to finish videos, software tutorials, with better sound and video quality.
I am trying to sublimate on a canvas tote using sublimating spray coating. I am not having trouble getting the image to transfer. I end up burning my bag. Do you have an information on the temp and time that should be used on this type of material?
I love your videos. The video quality it super bad when I watch on my smart tv. Any suggestions? A lot of times it is blurred and your voice does not match up at. Please let me know. I cannot imagine why.
@@SilhouetteSchool thanks for responding. It was not meant to be offending but all other videos are fine. I was just sort frustrated going through your videos, thought maybe missing a setting or something. 😀😀😀. Thanks again for content!!!!

Taut not taunt :) good video , thanks for the help!!
That’s okay - watching the complete video - you talked about your blog - I found your blog & books 😊

Thank you! Best video yet on using laminate sheets on canvas!!!
Glad it was helpful!

Yes I've done it this way as well, but not if I want a reverse canvas ;)
I sublimate directly onto the canvas and then seal it with Polycrylic. Its great.
I cut out pieces of a cardboard box and stacked them underneath. I didn't have any books the right size, but stacking cardboard works great!
That’s what I was going to do but, My frame has a raised edge around (recessed) maybe an 1/8 inch. So the heat press wouldn’t touch the canvas.
@@wecraftnz polycrylic after? I have put polycrylic on the canvas before sublimating. Does it make the color more vibrant?
I’m trying to save for a heat press! I would love a swing arm ! It would make things much easier!
Thank for this you make it look easy.
Love love and love thanks for sharing I will try!!!
You are so welcome!

Great idea! I think that would work

Hi there! My Silhouette guides can all be found here: www.ultimatesilhouetteguide.com
Would this laminator sheet trick work with clothes too (cotton T-Sirts for example)? If yes, what about the washing?
Hi there! I would use glitter HTV instead of laminate. Check out this tutorial: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/04/sublimate-on-cotton-using-white-glitter.html
Do you have a video for sublimation wrap on tapered wine tumbler?
What kind of printer did you use. Thank you so much for the tutorial it really helped me. You did a wonderful job
Hey there! Check out this blog post: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/01/why-best-printer-for-stickers-isnt.html
Wouldn't it have been much easier to cut a piece of plywood to fit inside the frame to back the canvas?
I’m so confused about so many things. What’s difference between sublimination and HTV and other like printer inks. I couldn’t find information what’s benefits to have them.
I should probably ask in the fb group but since I’m here. Have you tried cold laminate for sublimation? Thx ☺️
I have not, sorry!
Can you make a video with the cameo pro cutting poster board please.

How about for the people that don't have a dtf printer but use sublimation ink with the powder?
I have tutorials and information on using the DTF hack www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2022/12/dtf-transfers-with-sublimation-ink-vs.html

Have you ever tried the dye press spray ? It is supposed to allow you to use the infusBLE INK ON 100% COTTON t shirts?
Hi there! I have a review on a sublimation spray here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/07/sublimation-spray-for-cotton-review.html
Could we use 5mil thick lamination sheets instead of the 3mil you used?
Hey there, I wouldn't see why not!
I missed the time/temp to press laminate. You said heat press to 400 but press laminate at lower heat than that. 350/60? Thank you.

Yes - sublimation printer and sublimation paper.

All of my videos are originally recorded live from Facebook Live and then uploaded directly to UA-cam that's probably why.

Well that was weird, only a woman could take a canvas off a stretcher and then use it as a frame ha ha great fun…keep it up very entertaining.
My canvas keeps warping when I put the laminate on it.
Hi there! It sounds like you may have your heat too high.
Can I slowwwww mo this lol
Yes you can change the playback speed in your UA-cam viewer
that frame removal was painful to watch
haha
Thank you! Loved the information shared.
You are so welcome!
