@@JohnsonPlasticsPlus ty so much.
What do you mean by heat transfer printer
which type of printer you used for this project. or you using sublimation printer ? or any other with white ink?
how much is the printer cost
I'm curious Can I use a sublimation printer to get this effect (minus the white)?
U can use clear laminate on it and sublimate onto the laminate
@@jaz97 would It still come out clear or will the white show?
@@anthonycaldera7230 if you're doing sublimation inks then no the white will not show. This is an issue I'm trying to figure out. So other than hand painting the back of something like those flower designs rather than the whole thing being painted white I can't figure out what else to do. The other option would be to use something like a Cricut cutter and cut out the exact same shape of the flowers on white htv and put that behind the flowers if it can stick without heat pressing that again as that wouldn't work to heat press it twice. So really it's more trouble but unless we want to spend a lot on a white toner printer or a UV printer then it seems this is the only way from what I'm researching unless you want to meticulously paint white behind it and then you have streaks from your brush which I ran into.
I’ve sublimated onto clear round acrylic ornaments and they just looked frosty so to make it pop I painted the backs white…you’d probably just want to use a different color for the txt and maybe cut white vinyl to apply to the back to get maybe the flowers to pop.
How is your acrylic so clear after being pressed?
My acrylic printed with sublimation gets foggy 😶🌫️ won’t work much with acrylic and sublimation 😢
Estaria genial que pudiesen activar los subtitulos... hay cosas que no he entendido como: si es sublimacion, porque sale el blanco...? Es una impresora especial?
en la descripción dejo las hojas y la imprsora que uso
Ya vi después de escribir... me metí en la página del tipo de papel que usa y la verdad es que solo tiene una reseña y es de una estrella...🤦♀️ ya he visto que lo que se necesita es una impresora con toner blanco y ya.
Hello, what kind of ink you used? pigment ink or sublimation ink, to heat press in acrylic sheet?
white toner printers
Hello can I do it with a laser printer or it must be a heat transfer printer ?
Hello! The process in this video must be done with a heat transfer printer.
Can this be done with a sublimation printer and paper?
Yes
Can we sublimate on both sides of acrylic?
Maybe 2mm
can this be done with any sublimation printer??
Yes
Can i use a sublimation printer to get this effect (minus the white)?
I am curious as well
Yes. Sublimation printers do not print white. This is a laser toner printer. Your settings and finished product will likely look different.
Yes u can just use some type of clear laminate first then sub onto that
Is this dtf or sublima?tion
Which acrylic is this? I’ve been on the website and am having a hard time finding it

Hello! I don't have a UV Printer to print out the heat transfer for sublimation. What other options do you suggest to accomplish this?
Hello! We are not using a UV printer in this video. We are using toner heat transfer for this project. Are you currently using sublimation?
@@JohnsonPlasticsPlus yes sir, I am currently using sublimation.

Hi! Is that plexiglas?
What type of ink you use on your printer ?
This is done with a heat transfer printer. These are the toner ink cartridges. www.jpplus.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=icolor%20550&page=2
Does the image need to be mirrored when printed??
I think so, but not necessary if it doesn't have text
Is that sublimation or is that different then heat transfer printer?
This process is using the IColor 550 Heat Transfer Printer!
@@JohnsonPlasticsPlus are you using Sublimation ink? or can regular toner work with heat transfer paper?
How you print white on that
This is done with toner heat transfer, not sublimation, so it prints white.
@@JohnsonPlasticsPlus there is heat transfer toner?
Could you use this process but on MDF wood?
NO
Use white glue for wood
MAN i have been trying to do this with sublimation, with no success, the paper sticks to the the acrylic
Clean it whit water, Im sorry I dont speak english, greetings from Mexico.
Try clear laminate then sub onto that
It comes off after you soak it in soapy water
@@jaz97can you post a tutorial of a how to do it with laminate I’ve been trying and it just peels off doesn’t stick to the acrylic
Name paper please .
How can we do gold on the acrylic?
With heating foil
