    God bless you ma'am. I've been doing it wrong the whole time. Instead of putting the heat on the back of the slate, i was putting it on the front and to be honest it wasn't that good.
    All i can say is THANK YOU ❤️

    Hi Jennifer! I have a question for you regarding the heat time and temperature for the slates. Normally I use 400 degrees at 420s. I’ve never had any issues with sublimating them before, but now my prints are coming out reddish on the skin tones. I tried lowering the temperature recommended by another crafter, but it came out real faint. I’m guessing not enough time or heat. Would you know what would make the skin tones turn reddish? My prints look fine and look as they should. I have three slates now that I can’t use. 😢 I’m afraid to try it again at the temperatures and the times I’d been using. They were going to be Christmas gifts.😢 Can you help…any suggestions? Thank you! 😊

    my design is a touch smaller than slate. so if I tape touches the slate ,I figured that's not good,any ideas?

    Some say that that slates need to be pre-heated to remove the moisture. I didn't see that in this video. Is it necessary?It also doesn't say anything about it in the sublimation cookbook.

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  5 місяців тому

      Based on the context provided, it seems that pre-heating is indeed a common practice for certain materials to remove moisture and wrinkles, which can help in achieving a better transfer. However, the specific mention of pre-heating slates to remove moisture wasn't covered in the provided information or the sublimation cookbook.
      Given this, it might be a good idea to pre-heat your slate to ensure any moisture is removed, as this can generally improve the quality of the sublimation process. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-slate-blanks/

    when i sublimate on rock it leaves some rough patches on the rock. If you tilt it up and down you can see it in the light. not on the whole thing just a patch. Do you know what that is from? It does it on all the ones i have done.

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  Місяць тому

      The rough patches you are observing on the rock surface after sublimation are likely due to uneven heating or cooling during the sublimation process. When the temperature is not uniformly distributed, certain areas of the rock may experience different rates of sublimation, leading to these rough patches. Additionally, the composition of the rock itself can play a role; variations in mineral content can cause some areas to sublimate differently than others, resulting in the uneven texture you see when tilting the rock in the light.

    Can you fix ghosting on the slate

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  2 місяці тому

      If ghosting does occur, here are some potential fixes that may or may not work depending on the severity:
      Repressing: If the ghosting is minor, you might be able to repress the slate with the same design to correct the blurry areas.
      Adding Design Elements: Consider adding new design elements over the ghosted areas. For example, you can use vinyl stickers or other decorative elements to cover up the mistakes.
      Lightening the Ink: Depending on the severity, you might be able to lighten the ink enough to resublimate a new, darker design on top.
      Remember, it's important to give yourself some grace if things don't turn out perfect. Handmade items often have unique imperfections that add to their charm.
