I have been doing sublimation for well over two years now. These are some of my favorite things to use to make my life easier! I try to keep my out of pocket cost as low as possible and would love to share with others on how you can too!
I live by this paper! I have tried a lot of different brands and this is the only one that does not jam my sublimation printer.
