I’ve had to rewatch this as I make 15 puzzles last minute. You saved my sanity!! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Angie, love you! This is just what I was wondering about!
Thank you, great easy video
Thank you so much for this video; perfect timing! I just did a sublimation puzzle this weekend and had some light spots. I'm going to make it again using your tips! Love, love, love all your videos!❤
Good luck!
That is really cool!
They really are!
Angie, I just love love love all of the videos you do for sublimating different things. They make such great gifts! Since your video on Wind Spinners, I have made 6 and just ordered 12 more to do. Now to order puzzles. LOL
Yay! Happy to help!
Hello Angie! Your puzzle looks great! I am so glad you made this Tutorial. I bought Puzzles from 143 Vinyl a while back
but never used them. I will definitely dust them off and use them. Thank you! Happy Crafting!🤗
Have fun!
you are amazing ....thanks i learned a lot from your videos .........your videos are my goto place if i need any details on sublimation .....cheers keep up the good work thanks a ton :)
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome video
Thanks!
Thanks Great video & tips.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for this video. But what material option do you pick when printing from sawgrass? Do you choose polyester?thank you
I would choose hardboard or chipboard.
ok not sure what type of material to select for the puzzle
Chipboard if that is an option!
I am printing sublimation with an Epson ET-2800 with sublimation ink on sublimation paper. My print looks very faded on my paper and even more faded when transferred to my puzzle. Any tips or tricks to fix this?
It can look faded when printing but should pop once you press. First, run a nozzle check on your printer to make sure you don't have any clogs. Then press to 100% polyester white fabric to check your heat source/print settings. If that goes well, keep trying different press settings for the puzzle.
Can you do that with flusible ink with blank puzzle
Yes!
Hi I have just sublimated me first puzzles using a Vevor Heat Press but the individual pieces of the puzzle all seem to have a white edge. Any suggestions please. Many thanks.
I would say pressure and a firm mat under the puzzle. It is not getting the ink down into those lines.
@@AngieHolden Manythanks. I had tried the firm mat so will try more pressure. Thank you.
I have tried more pressure, time and changed the mats out but am experiencing the same problem. I have also tried a different blank and also still the same result. I would be interested to hear if other users arealso experiencing similar problems. Many thanks.
So the image is facing down and the puzzle is facing up on the press? I got a little confused when you flipped it
Correct.
So if I wanted to have someone print the image, because the size is bigger than my printer at home. What type of papers would work that I should look for?
They should print with sublimation ink on sublimation paper from a sublimation printer.
I've made puzzles as valentine cards for my grandson to give out that had a picture of him on it. So my question is if you have a file that gives you the cut file to make the puzzle on your own instead of buying one to add your picture to?
I have made puzzles with my Cricut however I have not sublimated on them.
Hi, I'm new to all this and recently bought a new 16x20 heat press for sublimation. Is it normal for it to have a slight humming noise as it gets really hot? It starts humming around 370 Fahrenheit. Thanks
I haven't noticed anything but it might be okay?
Yeah hopefully. Going to get a dedicated circuit and see if still does it.
I just did a puzzle tonight and it is white in the middle
I would say to make sure you have a firm heat resistant mat and not the cricut easypress mat. And maybe heat it up some to remove moisture.
Is this safe to do with an iron? Thanks!
An iron would not work for these.
Where do you buy the puzzle blanks
I seen that Amazon carries them and heat transfer warehouse. Those are only a few places I seen.
I get them from Amazon or Heat Transfer Warehouse.
