Sublimation is a really fun and useful crafting technique that creates vibrant, full-color objects, such as shirts, mugs, tumblers, signs, and so much more. Today I want to take sublimation a step further and tell you how you can print your own custom sublimation transfers to make more beautiful things for your home décor and family… or even start a small business selling custom sublimation items that everyone has to have!
So now I know you’re wondering … “Jennifer, how does dye sublimation work? What things can I use it for? And what can I put it on? And how do I get started already?” I have answers here in my ultimate guide to getting started with dye sublimation for beginners!

Can someone tell me what is the very best Epson printer to buy?
Is the Epson eco tank 4760 no longer available? 😭 it say’s discontinued. 🥺
Dear Jennifer after i watched your videos i bought sublimation printer and ink "epson" and i made my own design but my problem is the colors not bright
Im doing almost everything but the colors not bright 😔 what should I do ?!
"Thank you in advance ❤"
Where can I get them cheap
Can I have an ICC setting on an iPad.
Can I use an iPad to set up my eco tank foe sublimation?
Great video to learn from. Thank you!
Love the way you explain things.
Watching for the giveaway as I don’t have the things necessary to sub laminate
I am loving the sublimation mugs. I have learned a lot from your videos and trainings.
Love it
Thank you Jennifer for the lovely video.
Yes I agree with some of the above comments about a clear and very understandable. Thank you
I would just like to thank you @Jennifer Maker for posting videos that are actually helpful. I've watched dozens of videos but none of them were as helpful as yours. You really helped me a lot. Thank you very much 🌼
Hun i have epson 2400 that ive been using with the regular ink, is there a was i can go back and forth?
Hi – do you have any advise for Hiipoo ink in the Epson EcoTank? No matter how many times I clean, re-clean, and then deep clean the print head, my prints all come out with yellow bars. The print head test page has segments missing in the yellow section that will not go away. I'm not sure what else to try?
Your video is nice Mam…
Jennifer, thank you for such a concise video on sublimation. Could you tell me what the spray is that you used on the cotton towel to be able to sublimate on it? You mentioned you keep it in a spray bottle. I don't seem to find it in the list of items. Many thanks!
Can you sublimated on 100% cotton?
New Uk Subscriber, love the video! I want to print both Graphics for wall art prints and sublimation prints also! Do I therefore need two printers as I assume I cannot use sublimation ink for standard wall prints? Thanks 😊
When you say you put the "laminate" over your paint for the flower, do you mean laminate paper? And how do you do that? thank you!
Jennifer, can you use the Epson ecotank for printable heat transfer vinyl as well?
Great video
Amazing, Thanks a lot
This is quite well explained. Thank you ma'am
Thank you for this! I decided to watch this way before I start sublimating since I jumped into HTV without watching anything and messed up a lot of vinyl! I love your tutorials!
HI Jennifer, I just wanted to give you shoutout to say thank you for getting me and my classroom started in Sublimation. I created a shirt and coaster for my son's birthday and he loved it! Keep up the great work!
Real awesome job Jennifer Maker❤❤❤❤ you taught me a whole lot, thanks a million.
Thank you so much for your videos, you're so awesome!. They all are very clear and direct to the point. I learned so much just from 1 video of yours. I watched a lot and heard a lot from people but still had no idea what they're talking about, I was so Confused! I gave up until I came across your videos. Thank you! ❤
Which Epson eco model?
I was told by a lady I should try this, she said it's so fun, so I went looking for a video, I think you are so adorable, love all the colors and I definitely am going to be a new subscriber, thank you for this video ❤😊
Hey Jennifer! I'm curious what ICC Profile you use and if you could post a link to it. I have the same printer as you and I'm not able to find the ICC that corresponds
Can we use sublimation for leather phone cases?
Can I use the the photo as the 11” wide and the 8.5 “ length to print it that way
You just made things so much easier! Now… please excuse my ignorance here. The printers you listed, are they just regular ink jet printers with specific ink for sublimation? In that case would I be able to use any ink jet printer or only these ones specifically because they can do both regular and sublimation printing?
Does it make a difference which Epson Eco, i see you use the 4750, but I've seen 2850 and a large format ET8550. Would I be able to purchase any of them just making sure it's the refillable eco system?
So informative, thanks so much! Def wish I watched this before I bought my cotton shirts lool
Can you tell me where to get pens for the Maker. I can find them for the Explorer and Joy, but not for the Maker. I am enjoying your videos. I have not started to use the Maker, but will as soon as I watch more videos. I recently purchased mine from a friend. Thanks for your help.
i have a epson sublimation printer and tried printing onto a mug and it didnt print..im also using sublimation paper
I have purchased the Epson ET 15000 for sublimation. Is this printer a good printer for making sublimation designs?
Just diving in & your video was great & full of information that answered my questions but…..Can you use the sublimation coating spray on the tall tumblers or mugs?
Amazing prezentation. I start my sublimation mini business and I think Your video is for me. THanks nad see you soon in next video
Can I still convert my Epson printer to a sublimation use the sublimation ink because put the ink that came with my printer 😮
Is there a way to use a white vinyl first on a colored shirt, then sublamate on top? Like a solid white with a small outline?
Can you sublimate glass?

Hi jennifer, I need help. The colors of my sublimation graphics look different on a computer screen than when printed on paper. For example, black patterns are slightly red. What could be causing this and how can I fix it? I will be grateful for your help.
