 We just took grandma's recipe and we're going to show you how to take this and Turn it into a digital file to be used for sublimation or engraving and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up? Welcome back Do you like to do a builder to make it so do we and we have a new video each week this week We're doing some recipe restoration as harder than it looked We had a friend asked us to put a recipe on some hand towels and a cutting board Yeah, she talked about using vinyl, but and she did attempt it on vinyl, but it didn't look great so we told her a little bit about sublimation and we're gonna quickly pump out this project for her and Allow her to meet her customers needs and I'm gonna teach her a little something along the way Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies We needed the the recipe since that's what we're putting this thing on grandma's hand written recipe Yeah, grandma's hand written. It's very delicate. It's like old paper. I don't even know. Yeah, it's like tissue paper Whoa, whoa, whoa careful careful. We also need a sublimation printer We have an ebsen eco tank 2760 that we converted. We didn't even convert We just added the ink to a new printer super easy sublimation paper Some high heat tape to hold it in place. What's your paper? Which is our meat hugger We're still rocking this box of meat hugger paper. I quick and easy press. We're gonna need some hand towels We're gonna use cotton So we're gonna add a spray to these cotton hand towels and because we needed to complete this project quickly We just went on Amazon and found the fastest thing we could get and this is sublib plus mate This is the Spray we're using so we haven't tried it yet fingers crossed this works out like we have planned We also have this cutting board that she gave us and we're gonna engrave on it using the glow forge And I think that is it I think so. Step one We're gonna make this recipe a digital file I'm just gonna take this scan it in using our eco tank 2760 it's not just a printer. It also scans and it copies. So we'll be putting this in here I'm gonna scan it in and I'll meet you over at photoshop All right, we're just gonna get started with the ebsen scan utility that came with the ebsen 2760 it was part of the utility package and drivers that were installed when we installed the sublimation printer So we're just gonna go in we're not gonna use the default settings. We're gonna go color resolution we want like 600 dpi and We want it in a tiff format Let's preview it. Let's see what we got Not bad. I put it in a little crooked advanced settings. Let's go to remove background Don't look like anything All right, let's hit scan. It's gonna take a minute All right, once it comes up, it's dumped into the documents folder. We're just gonna find it click on it right click on it open with photoshop Bam there it is Let's check it out. All right, let's make a copy of this background first Duplicate layer background copy works. Let's make two just in case duplicate layer Copy to is a great. All right, let's use our Polygon Alasso tool and we're just gonna draw around this piece of paper Control C. It's gonna copy control V will paste. Bam Now I can get rid of this layer. Actually, let's make a new layer layer new layer layer to Gonna grab this paint bucket tool And then I'm going to make this white. So white is ff ff ff Now on that layer too that I just made and let's click the paint bucket. Bam Now I have a white background Let's straighten this card out a little bit. I Need a guide. So I'm gonna go up to my ruler. I'm gonna grab the ruler and I'm gonna pull down That gives me a little guide I can tilt this Looks pretty good. Great. Let's put this back drag it back up to them back up to the ruler Now using my selection tool. I'm gonna go up to image adjustments Levels. All right From here, I'm gonna take this little white point this little white selection Dropper tool and I'm gonna pick like a dark part of the background So be my new white Looks pretty good. Let's see what we got. Let's go up in here All right, looks good. Let's drag the black up a little bit and make these a little darker. All right, that will work Okay See what we got. All right. I'm gonna use the magic wand tool I'm gonna select the background somewhere over here. Maybe a little dirty piece. I'm gonna go to a select Similar this should select everything inside the letters to zoom in and check it out All right, left the blue blues looking pretty good Picked up some stragglers. That's okay For this I'm gonna Stay on the magic wand tool and I'm gonna hold shift and select this brown piece Select it again Select this brown piece Or we're just gonna hit delete BAM Then control D to deselect and now go through we'll hit the magic wand on this piece. Oops There's a Select Similar Delete let's see if we got any stragglers That's a piece down here That's a piece down here. All right. Well, they're still selected like this while I have the white select that I'm gonna go select inverse Go over to my erase tool grab it. I'm gonna erase these that are Highlighted with the little marky ring around it Highlighted them so now I can delete them. All right. I think I got them all so I'm going to deselect control D Use the magic wand one more time and select it. See if I got any big stragglers No, I'm looking pretty good. I'm looking pretty good All right looks pretty good Now I'm gonna duplicate this layer Duplicate layer Made it just a little bit darker I'm gonna come up and I'm gonna do some adjustments levels And drag level up a little bit make a little bit darker Okay, let's crop it go to my crop tool Looking good looking good now we'll go file export export as JPEG great we're going to great JPEG export Let's name this one. What is this stuff? Hot fudge sauce Sauce ooh Now I'm hungry Step three we're gonna print and sublimate. We're gonna print out our design now It's now a digital design out on this printer using the sublimation paper We're gonna flip it inverse it. We're gonna inverse the image and print it out. We're gonna use word All right, I'm just gonna use word to print our sublimation images to me. It's the easiest way to Actually find out how big the image is really gonna be for hot fudge There's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna bump up Oops, where is it? I'm gonna bump up the saturation I'm gonna bump it up like 40% The biggest we can go is six by six. So let me take the width down to six and I could probably fit two on here copy Paste let's flip these Click on it picture format rotate flip horizontal Due to this bottom one to rotate flip horizontal File print Got our epsom 2760 selected print chips neck All right, it's all printed out looks pretty good. Oh, where's the original? Let's mash it up. Let's see. I think it's on the scanner Oh, it's still on the scanner. Oh, there it is Whoop, there it is. Oh look at that pretty pretty good. That's beautiful Can you see it check it out take it in All right, we're gonna trim it up so that it will be smaller when we're trying to sublimate it on the towel Yeah, I don't know if you could tell that was Two copies of it. Yeah Just in case Anytime we do sublimation you want to get it as close to the image as possible All right tight Oh, do you want to tell them about the spray? So we're using cotton Pantals now you cannot sublimate on cotton because well the ink may transfer it'll wash right out So you want to use polyester so that it I don't know bonds. Yes Bonds with yes the polyester and it never washes out But they make a spray for cotton where you can sublimate on the spray So I have pre-sprayed these these are nice and dry now and you can feel they're kind of feel it It's kind of stiff kind of like you've got a little starch on it. Oh, that's very good. Oh me cook So like I said, I haven't tried this sublimate spray sublimate, but I can feel it's on here and hopefully it works great We have pre-heated our Cricut EasyPress here 380 degrees and we're gonna sublimate for 60 seconds This one right here Okay. Yep. Yep. It's that it's that guy right there. All right. You want to get the high heat tape? Yeah So I have pre-pressed this towel so I know exactly where a little square is so All right top sheet me rights All right Garrett Garrett loves to put this easy press down and wiggle it around you don't want to jiggle I just give it some jiggles and you don't want to do that. You just want to set it on In All right, it's in press time 380 for 60 seconds. We'll hit the green C. All right Noob noob noob I press the Like clock button on here. It's wrong button. We're gonna lean on it Yeah, I don't know. He feels the need to do this every time. I don't think you need it. It's a tiny thin little piece of Cotton material. I'm gonna get it down. Get on there Well, if I'm not holding it down, then there's no way that I'd be able to move it around right wiggle it around Of course, huh? So we get that cold cloudy What is that shadowing shadow shadow a little double vision? I Did include a piece of the put your paper underneath and on top so Right, I don't want to because this little heat pad that we're using We've forgotten it's got sublimation ink on it the next time you press leopard print on it Yes, leopard print ends up on everything. Everything has leopard print on it now Lesson on that one. All right, I'm just gonna go in taking it pull it. Whoo. It's hot just paper get it. I'm trying. It's hot Let me do it It came out. Okay. Okay a little blurry Blurry, but you know what? Where's that piece of paper? I Think probably be more crisp if we use like actual polyester, but I think it looks good I think it's the sentiment that really counts So make it look like a hand towel again I Thought it'd be more crisp Looks a little bleedy. Maybe it's that ghost thing. Maybe I did jiggle it Give a little jingle jangle. I don't know. It looks good. It's just a little blurry. Well, I don't know about blue I would have left it with black ink Garrett said it was written in blue ink. We should do it in blue ink Yeah, I don't want to change it. It's like changing an official document. Yeah, serious We have talked about this more than one occasion Step four, we're gonna engrave on the cutting board I already masked it off using some painter's tape and I tried to find the center So when I put it in the glow forge, I'll know Where it is in the glow forge. It's kind of hard to tell where like it is in the glow forge using the camera So I mark center. I also marked horizontal and because it's Like three eighths of an inch. I don't think I need to take the tray out I'm just gonna put it in and see how it does And it's like go she knew it fits perfectly. Yeah, it fits perfect Then the end but I did need to find center All right, now you got a bull's-eye. Yeah, now I got a bull's-eye Everybody'll be happy to know our glow forge finally made it back And it's own trip the good Garrett baby the whole way here. I wrote in a car seat Now in the glow forge app, I'm just gonna import that same JPEG Let glow forge do its little Voodoo magic all over it. All right. It's looking pretty good Let's make it six and a half high since the cutting board is seven Line it up in the middle Gonna use the lines To line up the dots Material unknown. We're gonna use uncertified material now. Like I said, there's like three eighths of an inch So we'll go point four the thickness We're gonna engrave this with some manual settings We're gonna go with one thousand speed one thousand and 100 power and For dots per inch, let's go a 340 Come on. Let's go down 340 We'll name this name this cutting board Save Set focus right in the center. I'm gonna scooch it up Look the little low You know It said it was even all right and Print it's gonna calculate on their server is determine how long it's gonna print and then send that file to my glow forge Well, they look line up on the On the camera. It looks good though. I Just went a little high with it so It's a little high So much so that it's on the top So we're gonna have to do it again. You gotta do it again. All right, where did she get this board? Hope it wasn't a family heirloom I don't think so. It looks like it came from like some store looks like a store-bought one All right. Well, it came out great. It like great. Yes. I think the depth is good and everything Yes, I just feel like it's a bit too high. I Even set focus and everything So how are you gonna fix that this time? Well, first I gotta go get a another cutting board And then I don't know clean my mirror try to line it up a little better. I Don't know Do you have any tips on lining up your glow forge projects? Let me know because I have two problems with the glow forge app one like horizontal and vertical alignment of objects in the glow forge app and then to like Outside of like exact middle Sometimes it's hard to see where it's actually gonna lie fit lay land and grave What do you guys think I mean It looks a lot like the recipe just like the recipe exactly like the recipe. It's a little high It's a little high. I'm gonna go see if I can find another cutting board like this But it turned out beautifully like I am very very impressed with the engraving and how that looks Yeah, I mean it just looks a little silly because it's not too high but I the There's not I mean it's like perfect etched handwriting. Yeah, there's no bleed There's no mess. You did a great job cleaning it up like there are no food stains engraved on there Yeah, super easy what it take like 10 minutes to clean this up in Photoshop very easy it was Probably the hardest part was lining this up and then waiting for this one hour in grave Yes, it did take one hour to engrave this but I mean, otherwise they all came out great. I Think this came out good. This came out acceptable Acceptable. I think it would be better if it were on polyester But the point of this video was to really show you that you can take a recipe like this Yeah, scan it clean it up and look what you can do with it. You can really make some keepsakes and You know provide it for your family and friends Yeah, well, and it's a little more sturdy than this piece of piece of tissue paper It's yellow Like I said, it's got food stains on it does it's got like food stains on it. Yeah All right. Well, we are about out of time So if you're not gonna join us for the patron after show we will see you next week Where we'll do it build it and make it again. This one's an easy balance It's like too easy Who do you think I could flip it and catch it again? Yes That's so that I don't Gonna be oh, I don't know. It's a scrap board now See this is what you guys miss on the patron after show A lot of balancing on that circus acts
