Then, increase the temperature of the heat press to 400 degrees for 60 seconds.
Take the sublimation print out and trim close to the edge - at least in a few areas.
Then flip the sublimation print onto the HTV piece, using those trimmed edges to lined up the sublimation sheet. Use high temperature tape to secure the print in place while you press with a heat press.
When the press is complete, remove the tape and the sublimation paper...
and you'll see the beautiful, vibrant colors have been transferred to white glitter heat transfer vinyl!

Sublimating on Glitter HTV (Sublimation on Cotton and Darks Hack)
Bundle promotions in this blog post have expired - you can find the pumpkin sunflower design HERE.
For sublimation you normally need two things: a light colored surface and a high polyester count.
However, white glitter HTV is the perfect solution for when you need to sublimate on a dark or cotton textile like this cotton, canvas bag.
We're using the Sunflower Pumpkin design from the September SVG and Font Bundle.
PROJECT SUPPLIES:
- Sawgrass SG1000 (or other sublimation printer)
- Starcraft Heat press (or other heat press
- Siser White Glitter HTV
- Heat resistant tape
- cotton canvas bag (or other surface for sublimation)
This blog post assumes you know the basics of how to use a sublimation printer and how to cut glitter heat transfer vinyl with your machine, so we're just going to jump right in.
To sublimate on white glitter HTV, you'll need to cut out and weed the base shape of your design in HTV...
... and print out the design on your sublimation printer. We are using a Sawgrass SG1000.
Press the HTV piece onto the surface as you normally would.
Then, increase the temperature of the heat press to 400 degrees for 60 seconds.
Take the sublimation print out and trim close to the edge - at least in a few areas.
Then flip the sublimation print onto the HTV piece, using those trimmed edges to lined up the sublimation sheet. Use high temperature tape to secure the print in place while you press with a heat press.
When the press is complete, remove the tape and the sublimation paper...
and you'll see the beautiful, vibrant colors have been transferred to white glitter heat transfer vinyl!
