Crafting Makes Me Happy! Here you will learn tips, tricks, and helpful hints on how to craft. Learn about Cricut crafting, creating with your heat press, using HTV and other types of vinyl, and all things tumbler related! We all have that one thing that puts us in our happy place. Crafting does that for me. Whether it is crafting for myself or others, I really do get enjoyment from any type of creating. That’s why I started Angela’s Inspired Creations in 2018.

Thanks for the video ! Could you please tell me if you can make a 13 x 40 inch print. Can you customize the size of print to 13 x 40 inch ? Does it let you do it?
How did you punch the hole through the picture? I know the blank material already has a hole for the string. I'm curious how you punched the hole through your design.
This turned out just beautiful! Thank you so much for the instructions. Newbie here with sublimation-how exciting to be able to put your art on something yourself.
FYI: The printer is not completely out of warranty just because you put sublimation ink inside of the printer. One should still register the printer. If it's determined that the ink caused an issue with the print head, yes that part is voided. If the printer has an issue with the power or another mechanical problem, it's still covered. Therefore, one should still submit that warranty form to Epson. I'm in the IT world FT.
Not true. With another Epson printer converted to sublimation few months later paper tray failed and contacted Epson for printer replacement, they said no. Why? Even though the paper tray (Paper try sensor damaged) had nothing to do with the ink, warranty was void just because I used sublimation ink. I have gone all the way up to corporate executive and they too still insist the printer warranty is void. They shared warranty policy link and it does state if not using Epson manufactures inks voids warranty to the entire printer, not just the print heads for ink.
I watched your video and I thought I was the only person who has their press set at a higher count mine is 560 seconds cause I’m also too lazy to keep changing it😂
Actually now that I went to canvas on my design space, I don't see that in the left corner to click on to get to "link cartridges. I'm guessing the site is updated, but I can't find it anywhere...
how do you get the laminating sheet not catch little pieces of fuzz! its so staticy then when i sublimate ontop of the vinyl/laminating sheet any white i can see little pieces of fuzz! drives me crazy. TBut the decal looks awesome except for that!
Major difference. Epson SureColor F170 is a 100% sublimation printer where the print heads are designed for sublimation inks. Any other Epson models such as ET-8550 printer the print heads are not design for sublimation inks. Whereby, converting an Epson printer to sublimation is always a risk. Why, sublimation inks will eventually clog the print heads. Can the conversion be done? Yes, but at a risk. Also, any Epson models converted for sublimation will void Espon’s warranty for the entire printer. I have Epson SureColor F170 for the last two years and it still prints awesome. I also think Epson sublimation ink is far better than most brands, vibrant and true to colors. Only drawback is the limitation of paper size, 8 1/2 X 11” to 8 1/2” X 14.
Genius! Precutting and storing laminated letters is going to be a game changer when I start teaching in January. I’m horrible at decorating, so this is going to help me out so much. Thanks for the tutorial!
I purchased an epson 2808 printer and also purchased extra warranty with it. i used it from february to September and now it will not print black. i called epson and they told me the warranty will not cover it since i used sublimation ink. so if you use sublimation ink it will void your warranty. now i am out a printer and looking for a new one again. whats your take on this?
My recommendation is to buy a printer that is made sublimation. Epson SureColor F170 is a sublimation printer that is far cheaper than ET-8850 that isn’t design for sublimation.
How is the printer holding up since you first set it up? I am looking to get one, but I am leary since putting the sublimation ink in the printer will void the warranty. Also, do you have to do a daily maintenance to keep the heads from clogging?
So far I have not had any issues. My only thing is that the inks are hard to tell where they are at because they kind of dye the side of the window area. I do not do daily maintenance. I do try to print once a week or every few weeks if I am not sublimating a lot at that time. I like it!
