Learn how to make and care for a sublimation T-shirt with beautiful, long-lasting results! Do you want to make T-shirts with any design you want on them? This sublimation T-shirt tutorial is the best way to get started! While I love layered vinyl shirts, sometimes I want a different look and feel. Especially with watercolor designs being so popular. Getting beautiful results is really easy once you've learned the sublimation basics. There are a few details to get right, but I've done lots of experimenting for you. So you can learn from my experiments (and mistakes!) to make your own beautiful shirt with sublimation transfers that you can make right at home. I cover everything you need to know from start to finish in this T-shirt tutorial!

Learn:
* What materials and tools you need for sublimation shirts
* What shirts look best (and which ones don't work)
* How to print with the proper settings using a free program everyone has access to!
* How to get the best results on your Epson or Sawgrass!
* How to prep your print so you don't get press lines
* How long and how hot to press for the best results
* How the designs look on various shirts with different amounts of polyester (even a 100% cotton shirt)
* How to care for a sublimation shirt, and what happened when I washed all of my test shirts.

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.- But I am unable to select all the options for printing. I am using a Mac, and have an Epson ET-2800. The "Media Type" does not give me "Presentation Paper Matte" as an option, so I selected "Photo Matte Paper" and which automatically changed the "Print Quality" to "best". AND "Print Settings" does not have "Color Sync" as a printer option. Do I need to go back and find your Printer Setup Videos first - and set up my ICC printer profile first?

Hi can you tell me why the sides of my Tshirt comes out yellow when I sublimate it? Is it because I used a cotton Tshirt the only kind I had on hand. I’m using a hand press

Hi Jennifer, I have what will probably seem a silly question, but it concerns me. I would think that the tape applied to hold the print down while pressing would leave some trace of adhesive on the T shirt. Can you please advise on this for me. Thank you.

And I don’t know how to move the image so that it is all on the page. It seems that this should be easy but I it’s not for me. I don’t know how to do this and can’t continue until I do.

aaahh! my first press came up blank! LOL. Nothing transferred to my fabric. Im using an epson 2800 ET, hiippo dyesub ink, Asub paper, and a generic heat press at 400F/30 sec, horizontal image printed on clear side of paper (not the side that says dsub), used butcher paper. My fabric is 100% cotton, heavy 230gsm fabric that I sprayed sub spray by Aosorw for cotton fabrics. HELP!

I found the butcher paper had the image on it so I think the Teflon sheet should have been used in my first t shirt made. 60 sec is too long, Probably 45 sec would have worked (a little browning happened) Tem was around 395f

- Do you only have to worry about the fading in the lesser polyester blends after 1st wash, or will they continue to fade after every wash?
