Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for this video. It Helped me fix the problem that I was having and spent all day trying to figure it out. Banding was my issue and I must have printed over 40 sheets and ran over 10 cleaning runs on the heads until finally stumbling across this video. Changing the paper setting to matte was the solution for me. Thank you again!
Same here but when she was doing a number change that worked for me too I actually like Angie's videos more she don't talk and over talk like other videos people do. She is simple and direct.
I rarely comment on RU-vid but I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos and that I love how thorough you are in your videos. Thanks a bunch!
This was great - thank you! My issue is blurriness which I realize is from moving the press. I really want the clam shell version instead of my cricut square press. I need to work on that. LOL I tend to turn around and talk to people and that moves the heat press. Grrrr I’ve wasted a few zipper pouches but you live and learn! Thanks again.
Love your videos, very clear instructions and explanations. I’m having trouble with my cricut easy press 2 heat press.. it literally melted a 95% polyester shirt I was working on. I had it on 380 for 45 seconds
Prepress Tip: Be sure to let your blank cool down after the prepress before placing your print on it. I've accidentally gotten ghosting and smudges from trying to move too quickly and positioning a print on a blank that was still hot from the prepress stage. :(
I did my first sublimation today on s white poly tshirt and pre pressed and used heat tape. When I took the design off after time was up the tape had left yellow lines 😭 everything else looked great except that. What did I do wrong?
Hello! Thank you for being here! I converted an Epson EcoTank 4760 and have been using it for months with beautiful results. Recently I let it sit for about a month and the nozzles clogged up. I bought a cleaning kit and cleaned them to no avail. I ended up running a complete nozzle cleaning/purge and that seemed to clear everything up. I ran two purge prints after the total cleaning and all the colors looked good. I then sublimated four Cricut coffee mugs and got blue splotches of ink in multiple random spots on all four mugs. I used the same ink, same A-Sub paper, Cricut mug press (so time and temp and pressure is set). The only thing different was a new heat tape that is thin and did not seem very sticky so I used more than normal and a lighter weight butcher paper, but still double layered it. I have googled the issue and folks seem to think everything from lint (I lint rolled all mugs), ink transfer from the tape or ink overspray (whatever that is). I am at a loss and I have my first craft sale coming up and I am terrified to sublimate all the other items I have! Any suggestions would be appreciated. You are absolutely my go to person for sublimation. I love your videos and all the help.
Try looking at the humidity in your home. See if it is really humid or really dry. That could be causing the issue. I would experiment on some 100% polyester cloth for pressing instead of ruining more blanks!
Why don't the mugs from dollar store work for sublimation? How would I know what mugs to purchase at a department store or online? Is there any kind of coating I could put on the mugs from dollar store that would make them work for sublimation? Thank you,love your video's.
The mugs from Dollar Tree do not have sublimation/polyester coating. I would just order mugs that are sublimation ready rather than trying to spray that poly spray. Usually that is a horrible disaster
You have to have a mug with a sublimation or polyester coating. I just purchase mugs from Amazon or another retailer that say they are for sublimation. There are coatings but I have had zero luck with the ones that I have tried.
So glad you made this video!! I see many people in the different groups that but an eco tank printer thinking they can use the ink that comes with it. I feel so bad when they make that mistake.
Your videos are so helpful and right on topic! I’m having ghosting/blurring even after taping it down excessively. The middle of my designs are wonderful but the outside ghosts. After your video, I’m leaning toward not enough pressure. What do you think?
@@AngieHoldenI’m having ghosting on SOME areas of bottom edge of tumbler (never again will I purchase the rounded 😢I should’ve gotten the flat bottoms. Any suggestions? I don’t tape top or bottom and I don’t have any paper hanging over the edge
You have a great way of de-mystifying sublimation. I have watched other sub videos and they seem to pass by certain (IMPORTANT) aspects of the process........Thank you.
Hi Angie! I love all of your videos, so thank you for being very detailed. I recently purchased everything to start my sub shirt business. However, when I pressed a sublimation today, on a bleached shirt, the design started a faint yellowing after cooling down. Could this have been the parchment paper I had used twice before or a problem with the bleaching? Thank you!
I find if you put something solid underneath the canvas (I use old, thick catalogs) that it will give you a nice solid area for pressing. Just make sure you use the correct height to be even with the wood frame.
This information is much appreciated -- and not easily found elsewhere on RU-vid. Thanks. Otherwise, I'm learning the hard way -- like buying Dollar Tree mugs only to find that they won't sublimate. I just searched your videos on sublimation coatings which I'm going to watch next! :)
Pizza wheel tracks: We literally had to stop sublimating our own items and switch to outsourced POD instead because of this nightmare issue. We tried EVERYTHING...first we slowed down the printer, then we played with ink settings, we cleaned the wheels, then we tried removing some of the wheels (which actually helped some) and in the process accidentally pulled loose the power cord/tape for the printer head (which led to having to open up our entire printer's outer case/shell to plug it back in!). Yesterday I just learned the sub paper we were using (A-Sub 125g) is notorious for creating pizza wheel tracks because of either the paper thickness or the coating on the top of it. This was the first time I'd heard the paper could be the culprit! So we will be trying to resume sublimating at home again.
Oh my goodness, this is the paper Im currently using and iv just experienced this issue 🙈 iv done everything I can think of to try and clean it and even sent it off to Epson themselves to see if they could find the issue. They said they couldnt see any technical faults so now after reading ur comment im thinking it might be my paper 🙈 what a nitemare Iv had this last week and a half and for such a simple fix 🙈 praying this works. Thanks in advance x
Hi! Your videos are so good and so informative! I’ve been scouring the internet for this answer and and then it dawned on me that if anyone - you may know. …I accidentally purchased infusible mug blanks instead of sublimation ones. Too late to return them. Can I sublimate them??? Thanks for your time!
So I have 20oz skinny stainless tumbler. I printed on sub paper, with sub ink and photo looked great. My press said 350 degress for 120 seconds rotate and another 50 sec. The Color did not transfer but did leave dark grey in some area
After a highly stressful day trouble shooting not only my sublimation process but also my vinyl cutter, the ONLY thing that has kept me remotely sane is watching 3 of Angie's videos! I'm still no further - think my printer is still printing normal ink out even though it's been emptied and purged. Nothing will transfer using my heat press. Not even a tiny bit.
Yea that is typical of a printer that had old ink it. Find a full color print and print it about 10 times. Then print another and try to press. Make sure you are pressing on polyester as well though!
hello , I'm having a problem with my printer not printing the bounding box for print and cut, i have the same printer you are using. i just listen to this video and checked everything you told us. gosh this is a new printer and i'm at a loss. as always i turn to you for help :). ty in advance
First, I don't generally use print then cut for sublimation. I might print from Design Space but I don't cut it as a general rule. Second, if you are printing from Design Space, the box should print. If it isn't, that is a Design Space issue and nothing to do with your printer.
@@AngieHolden do you think I should notify cricut. Btw thank you for ALL the help you🫵🏼 have been to me over the years, you truly are a blessing. 👵🏻pray I can get the problem fixed .
Just sublimated my first tumbler! At first, I thought I did something wrong as it looked faded white and thought maybe it didn't press for enough time although I did the recommended 50 sec and 360° - then I realized it was some of the sublimation paper was still on it. After washing it, it is all perfect now! How can I prevent from the paper staying on? Thank you in advance for your help Angie!
Angie, We have #6 and #7 problems quite often. Sometimes we see a tiny dot on our printed paper (Sawgrass 1000). Sometimes we can't see them but do see a dot after pressing. We use all the correct things: sub printer, sub paper, 100% poly shirt. We preheat each shirt. Our customers will not accept with one tiny dot, so we waste a lot and don't make near as much income. We have watched videos about cleaning the printer. We have cleaned and cleaned and cleaned it. We have called Sawgrass. We cannot find anyone to service a Sawgrass printer. We are willing to pay for servicing but no one will take it on. Heat Press Nation won't take it; Sawgrass itself won't take them. Their only answer to us is to buy a new one. We bought this one a year and a half ago; we shouldn't have to spend $1500 and get a new one each year. Any suggestions further than what you have given. And, can you recommend any printer besides Sawgrass? We are willing to purchase a new one but we refuse to buy Sawgrass again since they have no service. Thanks. I hope you see this; I know the video is old. Julie
Sounds like the printer may have a small leak which would not be something you could easily fix. For a larger print, Sawgrass is still the best bet. You could maybe try the Epson F570?
I purchased the Epson 2760 and installed the Hiipoo sublimation ink as directed. I charged the ink as directed on the printer screen. I ran the tests to calibrate the machine but I cannot get the print head nozzles clean. There are no gaps with the black ink, but several gaps in the cyan and magenta. (I can't see the yellow well enough to tell how that one looks.) I have run the cleaning cycle at least 8 times. No dice. I am reluctant to run the "Power clean" , because of the warning that it uses a LOT of ink, and might even prematurely saturate the ink pads inside, thereby needing service. Have you ever had this problem among the many Epson printers you have shown in your videos? Thank you for providing so many great videos on how to have successful sublimation products!
@@AngieHolden , yes, the printer was brand new! After an evening of anxiety, I spent a few hours reading the online manual. It recommended waiting 12 hours with machine turned off, and the doing another test. Luckily that did the trick, eliminating 99% of the clogs. So, I forged ahead and printed some images, and they came out fine! Thank you for your quick reply! I am a retired software educator/manual writer. Your information packed videos are exceptional, in that you don’t waste any time with personal, unrelated chatter. Thank you for that!
I have never seen a RU-vidr actually spending their time replying to every single question. Thank you so much. I have a few questions as well. Does it matter if I use the "Presentation paper matte" or "premium presentation paper matte" setting? I use the A-sub 125g sublimation paper. Also, I bought the Epson ecotank 2803. It seems like almost everyone has the 2720 or 2760. Is there any difference in print quality or anything else?
I don't see much of a difference between different "matte" paper types. Probably personal preference. There are no differences for sublimation purposes between the EcoTank models so you are fine there!
I' have an order for 500 Mousepads. I've been experienceing two issues I've had promles with. 1. Missing transfer stripes along the edge on one side and 2. Having a mark near the corner that looks like, when you iron something and it leaves a shiny spot. Which I assume is from too much pressure or too much time. The first 100 pads looked great. Then I took a break for a couple of days, then when I came back to start pressing again, when I staarted getting the faded spots and edge "banding". What I think really messed me up was printing a bunch of transfers in advance, letting them dry, then putting them in a ziplock pouch; thinking that would keep them from humidity getting at them. After trying numerous tricks and hacks from RU-vid, none ofwhich solved the problem; I noticed that the paper was ripply on the side where banding was appearing. No amount of pressure or preheating, got rid of the ripples. By preheating I mean, putting the pad and transfer paper in the press, with the heat platten about 2" above the ready to press project. Testing variously increasing times. Nothing would flatten the ripples enough to avoid the banding on some of the pads. Do you have a suggestion, other than tossing 200 preprinted sheets and start again with fresh prints? Sorry for the long story, but you asked for topics for future videos. I'd be glad to send you photos, so you can see for yourself exactly what I tried to describe. Or even mail a couple to you. I can't find any printing in bulk videos that cover these issues. Thank you for all the good advice!
Definitely sounds like moisture in the paper. I generally hover the heat press over the paper to remove moisture. In this case, they may have been warped by the ziploc. I would always add dessicant packs to the ziploc if you are going to store. You could try adding several packs and leaving them overnight to see if some of the moisture would be removed.
Great video Angie and help me loads, just one issue I'm having problems with is the black parts on the mug are turning out brown or red and I'm having to throw them away.
hi again Angie, I would like you to cover using a download templates from the computer and a reason you that may not be able sublimate it to a cup for example.
Hello Angie your videos are extremely helpful, I have learned so much. Don't remember if there was a video on what to do when you heat press a sublimation image on a bleached shirt and the white part turns alittle just a little light tan. What can been done I heard to spray peroxide but when, when it's cold or still hot the image? Thanks fir all you do.
Hi Angie. you explain every thing so well, thank you for that. i have a question, when i first got a sublimation printer i set up the icc profile to suite the type of paper that was supplied with it however since then i have purchased a sawgrass printer and now use their paper, can you tell me if i need to change the paper make and if so how do i do this.
I have printed (sublimation) dozens of Circuit Coffee Mugs using the Circuit Mug Press, both full wraps and single placement images. I use circuit heat tape and use two sheets of butcher paper. Just recently after sublimating a mug with an image after removing the butcher paper and sublimation paper there was a blue vertical line at the edge of the print almost the entire height of the 12oz mug. I did a second mug and the blue vertical line appeared once again but only about 3/4" long. My research indicates either something on the sublimation paper or caused by re-using the butcher paper. I inspected the sublimation paper after removing and there is no ink at the edges or even close to the edge. I did not notice anything on the butcher paper either (i did re-use a at least one sheet of butcher paper on the first mug, not sure about the second mug). Also during my research some have said it may be the heat resistant tape. Have you experienced this or have any inside on this issue? Thank you.
@@AngieHolden I am about 3/4 the way through the roll of tape before this happened. Possibility a bad area within the roll of tape....I'll give this a try though.
Hey Angie, You are an awesome problem solver! I have been loving sublimation however, my issue seems to be my black ink only. It looks perfectly fine and crisp when I print it out. I transfer at 400° for 60 seconds and all of my other colors are always crisp and vibrant except for the black and it will always look smeared. HELP! I can send you a photo so you can see what I’m talking about.
Can you do a video on how to do tumbler on tumbler heat press? I am having issues with fading color, on black mostly. What the best time, heat temp..and so forth… thank you..
You always have the best solutions!! I thank you for this!! I am still having an issue with my sublimating puzzles. Im using sublimation ink (I had put the ink that came with the Epson inside first and then suctioned it out to then put the sublimation ink in.) Im not understanding why the pictures that I sub, is blue.
If this is the first thing you are sublimating after switching, I would print like 10 prints and toss them then try again. The blue could be that your color is off from still having a little of that other ink in there.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m new to sublimation. I keep getting ink on my mugs where ink shouldn’t be lol. When I put the design on, I make sure I clean the mug and there’s nothing on the design paper but after I press it there’s smudges of ink on the mug. How can I fix this?
It is probably on your paper but you can't see it before pressing. My guess would be your printer is dirty or your paper is curling and hitting the print head. For the dirty printer, clean any visible areas and run plain paper through printing like one letter on each copy a few times. For curling paper, check the humidity in your space, how you store your paper, etc. Usually it is something that is causing it to curl up.
I checked that and it didn’t matter but for some reason my epson printer was installed as network and again as series. I deleted the network one and now it’s fine. Thank you
Angie love your style of teaching! I messed up on a sublimation mug and printed it upside down. Anyway that you know to get that off of the mug so I can use the mug again?
I have an Epson et 15000, no issues until about a month ago. My images look great but if magenta is a primary color then after I press I have like a like red blurry shadow around the image. I would bet a clogged printhead but I haven't come across a video that has been simple or helpful. I have been doing sublimation for 3 years almost daily and this is first time I can't fix the problem. I use cosmos ink and Texprint xphr, think it has a new name now. Any help would be so appreciated. and thanks for the above video, it was nice to have a video so well done and easy to follow.
I use silicone bands on my tumblers and i cannot get my tumblers to not show that band. Also, the brown heat tape shows through sometimes on my tumblers.
Great video. 💕💕👍Just getting started with my heat press. How do you know what pressure is set on my swing away press. The knob doesn’t have settings, I just urn it. So I need a way to judge the pressure. Any ideas?
How do you fix the color gray that comes out green on a mug? I used a Sawgrass printer, sublimation paper and ink along with a cricut mug and cricut mug press.
I assume you are using Cricut Design Space to print. That is why you have the frame. Use another program to not have that. You can see some options here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TGalh6abV1w.html
@@AngieHolden I watched the video you recommended, very informative. However it doesn’t answer a big question I have. Can I save my projects that I do in DS to outside the program, like my hard drive?
I love your advice, just set up my ecotank today & bought the hiipoo ink you recommended. After doing one project with infusible pens I was hooked so I had to buy a printer. I’m curious how long the ink will last, thinking I should order another hiipoo pkg to have on hand.
Heat Tape leaves tracks on sublimation tumbler. I tried, acetone, rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, vinegar, goo gone. NOTHING removes. It is a new roll of heat tape just put on dispenser. I’ve ruined 3 tumblers. Any help greatly appreciated. Love your videos. Thanks, Joyce McLaurin, Jus-Say-N-Signs
Hi Angie, I have a sublimation printer, printing on sublimation paper and using a cricut heat press 2. My image out of the printer is perfect, colors are great. Once pressed the color blue on my paper turns green once sublimated on the t-shirt - I am using a cricut t-shirt for sublimation and using the recommned time...why is my blue color turning green?
First, if your black looks green it would be that you didn't press it enough. Increase time or temperature. I would press to a 100% polyester cloth to check your colors though and get them right there before trying tumblers.
Do you have issues like clogging, Color accuracy, etc with your Epson converted printer? How long has it lasted you and is it reliable or is it better to get Sawgrass or Epson sublimation printer?
I haven't had any clogging issues yet so I can't speak to that. Here is my video on color accuracy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YqW5199ceOc.html
Thank you so much for your videos! For some reason my color is not taking in the middle of my graphics. Is only a small faded area, almost a like a line. The line is about a 1/4 of an inch. I have my heat set to 400 degrees and timer to 50-60. Any suggestions? thanks!
I absolutely love watching your videos and they are always so helpful but I have looked through one of your videos and every video I can find online about issues with sublimation. I’ve pressed a few T-shirts with the subli hav on cotton and darks and they came out great, and I did one on a shirt the other day and the ink bled all over while I pressed it and then today, I tried to do a polyester hat, but it was dark colored so I did the easy subli and my ink bled all over again so what am I doing wrong?
HELP!!!! What am I doing wrong? I'm not getting a image when I try to print on my blanks. I'm image. Here's my set-up: - Epson ET-2760 - Hippo Sublimation ink - A SUB sublimation paper printing on the side with no watermark - Cricut Easy Press 2 at 385 degrees for 40 seconds * I'm not really sure how to measure the amount of pressure I'm using but, it's roughly equivalent to the pressure I've used successfully before with sublimation transfer sheets. - Cricut t-shirt blank Things I've tried: - turned the sublimation paper over in the printer just in case I had it printing on the wrong side - used several various temp, time and pressure - made the setting changes you mentioned on the printer AND in the document (using Word) - I even printed ~ 1,250 pages of color blocks to use up all of the ink and then replaced it with a new set of Hippo Sublimation Ink * I was 99.99% sure that what was in the print was the correct ink but. I guess you'd say this was in the "grasping at straws" phase of my process😞 - And, of course, I've tried cheering it on, begging, berating and even a few prayers 🙂 I'm fairly certain that the overarching issue is Operator Error but, I need some help identifying any potential fix. I spent 30+ years working in IT so you would think I could work with this stuff a little better than this. I appreciate any help you can give me!
First I would make sure that the BOTTLES of ink you have say sublimation ink on them. Hippoo makes several different types of ink and it can get confusing. Then has their EVER been any other ink in your printer? If so, it could be residual ink. It can be a huge pain.
Do yo have a video on how to clean a sublimation printer? Specifically, a sawgrass printer. I have extra ink showing up on my pressed projects that I suspect are from extra ink smudging on the paper from the printer. It is not my heat press, because it happens with my mug press too. The extra smudges of ink don't appear on the paper, but I notice it after the transfer.
I’m getting little fibers everywhere on my tshirts after I press. They look like little strings. I don’t know where they’re coming from. I clean my heat press and I cover my shirts with butcher paper but it still happens.
Hi again. I've been experiencing colour bleeding with red. I changed the paper types as recommended, unfortunately nothing has worked. I still get dots appearing around any text or images that are of different colour, not just red. Also my blacks have started to look on the green side and particularly blurry. around the top and bottom of my images/ texts. I adjusted the pressure of the press but it left me with brown marks on the cup. I'm so frustrated and struggling of what to do. I'm getting through so many mugs. I feel like giving up. Btw, my printer doesn't give me the option to turn on/ off high speed.
First, can you run tests on some inexpensive polyester fabric to not waste expensive mugs? Second, do you have the right driver installed? Go directly to the Epson website and get the driver for your printer. See if you have all of the options once you get that.
hey Angie nice for all the problems and fix it thank you i was wondering if you can make a video for thos of us that are haveing a hard time with gosting or it looks like ink spilling over the side of the finished product this is on cottons and also using htv ront for the first layer can you please HELP?
Oh, and my other mug I printed felt like it had paper stuck to it after I removed the sublimation paper. Also pressed for 300 seconds at 400 Fahrenheit.
I am worried about the mugs and if they are good quality sublimation blanks. On the yellowing, did you use yellow heat tape and is the discoloration in those areas? That may be the issue. I would also check the time and temperature recommended by the place where you purchased the mugs. You can wash off any paper that sticks but I usually don't have that issue with mugs.
Thank you! I’m having a problem when I upload my png image “download I bought off Etsy” on Cricut design space and it looks perfect but once I hit ready to print and cut the look of it just changes it looks bad when it’s about to print and that’s also how it prints but if I hit the back button to go back on the editing part it looks good again.🤷🏼♀️🥴 I’m also new to sublimation I bought a printer that I turned over to sublimation the test print came out fine.
@@AngieHolden I will try that! If I could upload screenshots on here it would be easier.😂 Also might be from me doing it off my phone I will try it today on my laptop.
Hi Angie, first of all I love all of your videos. I followed your instructions for setting up an Eco tank sublimation printer and pressed the image onto a polyester shirt. It looks great except for one of the areas where I applied transfer tape. It bled onto the shirt. Is there a solution for removing a transfer tape stain?
Was it heat resistant tape? I have multiple instances of people having trouble with cheap yellow tape from Amazon. I don't think there is a way to save your project. I would get a different tape. You can see some brands I like here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UrSdDvjQGNE.html
Recently started doing sublimation coasters (black type and white background) and was getting some blotchyness here and there on the white areas. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi Angie, I've had an Epson Eco tank 15000 for a little while now, I'm having a weird issue that I'm not sure how to solve. I've tried all the alignments, purge printing, cleaning, adding new ink, etc. I'm so stuck and I just had a customer return an order of shirts because of this issue. When it comes out of the printer the color looks fine, but after I press it the color looks way off. I've never had this happen before but now it keeps happening and everything I'm finding online is not solving the issue 😩 any suggestions?
Thank you for this very helpful tutorial! In using what I already had - a Singer Steam Press (not using steam) - I am wondering if I don't have enough pressure. I have a lot of ink still on the paper, and my shirts aren't vibrant at all.
@@AngieHolden I'm going to put it up for sale and get a regular heat press. I had gotten it for applying stabilizer for bag making. A heat press will serve both.
@angieholden I print out my designs on easy subli vinyl and I hover my heat press over the design to dry it for 2 minutes. I put it aside to let it cool down, then I put it on my Cricut standard grip green mat and send through Cricut Maker 3 with normal cutting pressures, as its cutting, the rollers are causing streaking marks on my design. I know for a fact it is not banding because we already resolved that recently. How do I prevent streaking marks on my design from using my Cricut to cut out the design?
i tried to sublimate on fabric that is supposed to be a tent fabric its a bit thick and white maybe its made of mix of nylon or polyester , temperature was 350 F and timing 60 seconds , result it was burnt yellow squares and lines all over the tote even though i use teflon 😢
I sublimated on to laminated 651 vinyl for a decal. I have made 100’s of these no problem. Now I did this about 5 times and still has the black ink kinda smeared where the white is. What do you think would cause this/. Driving me crazy! I wanted to post a pic of what is looks like but I can’t post a pic
HELP. I have the ecotank 4800 and I'm still having color issues i paid for photoshop thinking that would help I'm using hiipoo ink and a sub paper i have tried multiple icc profiles. help from anyone would be great anything green is blue and purple is blue and I'm not that smart with this stuff. I very much appreciate people like you taking time out i just apparently am not comprehending.
Color correction and the EcoTank is very difficult. Unfortunately it is trial and error. I can't tell you what to do for your setup besides just try different things and see if they work.
I have a new Eason sublimation printer, sublimation ink, sublimation paper. I cleaned my sublimation ready mug used heat tape and butcher paper . Checked my temp, I still haven’t gotten anything to sublimate to the mugs. I m very frustrated.
Hello thank you for your videos there very helpful, I do have a question my first sublimation I did with a tumbler in a oven came out burn and the blank melted from the bottom. Do you know why ?
I am about to start my little business but i am watching hours of videos even before buying a printer or anything.. xD I could buy a convertable epson 7710, 2 year old looks good on the pictures tho but i might just go with the Epson 2810 even if that's a bit more expensive but at least new.
Any Epson EcoTank that uses 4 colors of ink can be converted for sublimation. I would question the person selling a used one as to how often they print. You need to print regularly to keep those printers in good condition.
Hey Angie! I follow your instructions and I’m still having trouble with my sublimation not transferring into my Libby glass cups. I’m using sublimations ink, sublimations paper but when I taped all sides into my heat press the design will not stick to the cups. Please help 😭
Hi :) unfortunately this is the 4th video I've watched and still do not kn if sub paper goes in the printer right side up or right side down sorry if that is a dumb question, I cant afford the trial & error method as sub paper is not cheap lol
That depends on your printer and how it feeds in so you are not going to find that on a video. Your printer should have a symbol that tells you which way to feed it in. You can also send copy paper in and print something small to test it.
Hi Angie, I’m doing mugs! Yay! I put one name vertically near the handle and didn’t mirror 🤦♀️. The rest of the mug looks great. Do you know of any trick fix ideas for a vertical section of mug that’s probably a little less than an inch wide? Thanks!!
Hello! My prints keep coming out with a lot of black ink streaks all over my print. Sometimes its more or less but its usually when my prints are a dark color or red. I tried to "trick" my printer and started out with a yellow print on the page and ended with 2 red prints (all on a 13x19" paper) and it printed perfectly. Next I printed a very large dark purple print and the black ink blotches/streaks are all over the pages vertically. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks so much!
