Introduction Welcome back to my channel! In today's video, we will be working on creating some sublimation shirts for St. Patrick's Day. But before we dive into the tutorial, I wanted to provide you with a quick update on some exciting news at AJ Blanks. We have restocked our popular beanies, and we also have a new product in our lineup - adult celebration shirts, available in eight different colors. So, without further ado, let's get started!

Sublimation Shirts for St. Patrick's Day St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with some festive sublimation shirts? These shirts are perfect for showcasing your Irish spirit and adding a touch of green to your wardrobe. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create unique sublimation designs on various shirt colors, including vintage pink, mint green, sage green, lavender, light gray, stone gray, white, and cream.

Kids Sublimation Shirts In addition to our adult celebration shirts, we also offer sublimation shirts for kids. Currently, these shirts are available only in white, but we are looking to expand our color options. We want to hear from you! Let us know in the comments which colors you would like to see in our kids sublimation shirts. The kids version of the shirt will be the unisex style, similar to the one shown in this video. We value your feedback and will take it into consideration when placing our next order.

Sublimation Printer and Transfer Process Now, let's dive into the sublimation process. I will be using the Epson F570 sublimation printer, which allows me to print on a larger sheet of paper, eliminating the need to piece multiple papers together. This printer is perfect for creating designs on adult-sized shirts. After printing the design, I carefully cut it out to ensure a clean and precise look. To avoid any dust or debris on the transfer, I always check it thoroughly before placing it on the shirt.

Tips for Avoiding Transfer Outline One common concern when working with sublimation transfers is the outline that can sometimes appear on the shirt after pressing. While there isn't a foolproof method to completely eliminate this outline, there are some tips and tricks you can try. One method is using a pressing pillow, which can help distribute the pressure evenly and reduce the chance of ghosting. Additionally, ripping the transfer instead of cutting it can create a feathered edge, minimizing the outline. If you have any additional tips or techniques, feel free to share them in the comments below.

Lint Rolling and Preparing for Pressing Before pressing the sublimation transfer onto the shirt, it is crucial to ensure a clean and lint-free surface. Using a lint roller, I thoroughly roll the shirt to remove any lint or debris that could interfere with the transfer. This step is especially important to prevent blue specks from appearing on the shirt after pressing. It's always better to be safe than sorry, so don't be shy - make sure to lint roll every part of the shirt that will come into contact with the heat press.

Heat Pressing Process Now that the shirt is prepped and the transfer is ready, it's time to heat press the design onto the shirt. I set my heat press to 385 degrees Fahrenheit and let it heat up. Starting with the kids' shirts, I carefully place the transfer onto the shirt and secure it with heat-resistant tape. To protect the transfer and ensure proper sublimation, I use unwaxed butcher paper sheets. Pressing for 60 seconds, I apply firm pressure and hold my breath in anticipation of the final result.

Results and Review of Sublimation Shirts With the pressing complete, it's time to assess the results. I am amazed at how vibrant and crisp the colors look on the sublimation shirts. The designs truly come to life on the fabric, creating a unique and eye-catching look. The sublimation process allows for unlimited design possibilities and ensures long-lasting prints that won't fade or peel. I am thrilled with the outcome of the sublimation shirts and cannot wait to share them with you.

FAQ:

Q: How do I avoid transfer outlines on my sublimation shirts? A: While it's challenging to completely eliminate transfer outlines, there are a few things you can try. Using a pressing pillow can help distribute the pressure evenly and reduce ghosting. Additionally, ripping the transfer instead of cutting it can create a feathered edge, minimizing the outline. Experiment with different techniques to find what works best for you.

Q: Can I reuse butcher paper for multiple sublimation transfers? A: We do not recommend reusing butcher paper for sublimation transfers. Over time, the ink can transfer from one paper to another, potentially affecting the quality of the subsequent transfers. It's best to use fresh, unwaxed butcher paper for each pressing to ensure optimal results.

Q: Can I customize the sublimation shirts with my own designs? A: Absolutely! The beauty of sublimation shirts is that they provide endless opportunities for customization.
