In today’s tutorial we are going to talk about the difference between customizing with SUBLIMATION and HEAT TRANSFER PAPER. I have received many questions on this topic and I look forward to answering your concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Let’s Talk About Which Printers Can Be Used to Customize with Sublimation and Heat Transfer Paper<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To customize with HEAT TRANSFER PAPER, you will need a laser or inkjet printer of any brand. I use a Canon Pixma Megatank<\/a> printer for this process.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Sublimation<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While for the custom with SUBLIMATION, you will need a special printer for sublimation or you could also convert a printer that does not use heat technology when printing. For example, most Epson EcoTank<\/a> printers don’t use heat when printing so you could convert one of these new printers for sublimation. If you would like to learn about the process of converting an Epson EcoTank printer to sublimation, I invite you to watch my tutorials on my channel. I use an EPSON EcoTank et15000<\/a> printer that I have converted to a sublimation printer and I am very happy with its performance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ink:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To personalize with HEAT TRANSFER PAPER, you can use the ink that comes with the inkjet or Laser printer. That is, conventional printing ink.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, to personalize with SUBLIMATION you will need special ink for sublimation. I use Hiipoo sublimation ink.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the HEAT TRANSFER PAPER customization, transfer paper is obviously used. This comes in two types: transfer paper to customize dark fabrics and transfer paper to customize light colors or white. There are a wide variety of very good brands on the market. [Make sure you order the right transfer paper for your printer. For laser or inkjet<\/em>] I use transfer paper for dark colors from the A-SUB<\/a> and HIIPOO<\/a> brands. To customize white t-shirts, I use the PEN GEAR<\/a> brand that I found at Walmart<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, to personalize with SUBLIMATION you will need special paper for sublimation. There are also a wide variety of brands that you could choose from, but I like to use the ASUB<\/a> and HIIPOO<\/a> sublimation paper. They are my two favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What materials could we customize with Heat Transfer Paper and Sublimation:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With HEAT TRANSFER PAPER you can customize any type of fabric. For example: cotton, polyester, cotton-poly blends and in the colors you want.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, with the SUBLIMATION technique you are limited to customizing fabrics from 65% polyester and above and in white or very light colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage of sublimation is that you can also personalize hard surfaces such as mugs, tumblers, tiles, wood and much more. Find a variety of sublimation tutorials in my channel.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Transfer Process:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the HEAT TRANSFER PAPER, it is necessary to cut around it either with scissors or with a plotter cutter if you have one. To transfer the design, you will need a home iron, heat press<\/a> or easy press. If you use a home iron and the design is larger than the iron, it will take a little longer than indicated since you will have to iron, add pressure and if possible, with movements to cover the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unlike SUBLIMATION you will be able to transfer the design without cutting around. To transfer the design, it is necessary to use a heat press<\/a> that is larger than the design since you have to press at once, put pressure and without movement to obtain a very clean and sharp sublimation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
