What is a heat press sublimation machine?
Sublimation printing with heat transfers uses a special type of ink that actually ingrains itself into the fabric, unlike regular heat transfers, giving the images and graphics an even longer lifespan. Sublimation heat press machines have the ability to reach the temperature and pressure levels needed for sublimation.
Whats the difference between Cricut and heat press?
You set the temperature and time, close the clam shell, press a button and the heat press does all the work for you. Compared to a regular iron the heat press gives equal pressure on all surfaces. It’s much faster. Shirts that were taking me 2-3 minutes to apply iron on vinyl to now only take 30-40 seconds.
What is a good size heat press?
Many designs will range around 8 ½ X 12”, such as printed transfers and other smaller items. A small press is good for small production runs and one-offs. Medium presses, sized 16” X 16”, 15” X 15” and 14” X 16”, are the most popular with decorators.
Which printing is best for T-shirt?
Polyester t-shirts are best suited to sublimation printing as opposed to direct to garment (DTG) printing. We recommend DTG for most t-shirts as it offers the most precise print for your design. But if you’re after an all over print, sublimation printing is definitely the way to go.
Which Cricut Do I need to make t-shirts?
If you are going to be using your Cricut to make t-shirts in multiple locations, the Cricut Mini is just what you need. You will appreciate the Cricut Mini because even though it’s small, it can cut up to 8.5” x 12” materials and can cut shapes and fonts 1/4” to 11.5”.
Is Cricut a good investment?
The only thing that’s really “required” to use a Cricut is to want to make things! If you consider yourself a crafter/DIYer/hobbyist/maker or any other type of person who likes to make things with their own two hands, it’s probably totally worth it to buy a Cricut because you’ll get a ton of use out of it!
