Kim and Garrett, Great ideas, I just reconverted my Epson 4800 printer. I had no problem doing it, and it worked great. My problem is that I bought two of the same model, using the same ink refills. So I labeled them #1, and #2. I labeled the ink for them. BUT, I grabbed the wrong ink which was the regular ink and installed it in my cyan of the sublimation. My question is how do I clean the cyan refiller so that I can reinstall the proper sublimation cyan ink in that one. OR am I out a printer? Please help me and give me some ideas. Thank you. Wendy

@thyriapierce1465 3 года назад

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This video was very helpful and fun as usual. Love sublimating the letters with patterns. The ideas are endless are endless on how to use this method. Can you use wood letters from Michaels or Joanns or does it need to be mdf? Could you laminate another sheet over the pattern to seal it for using outside? I will be trying this method soon. Love watching your videos very much. I retire in 21 days and I'm looking forward to having the time to watch, learn, make and enjoy some of your projects! With much respect, TP

@HalfAssHomestead 3 года назад

I believe the letters from Michaels, are MDF which stands for Medium Density Fiber.

@Bigdude13000 3 года назад

@lechatbotte. 3 года назад

Cleaning?? What who cleans lol. This is such a great video. I’ve been curious. My understanding is that the ink is waterproof but sensitive to UV exposure which will cause it to fade faster. There are a few items you can coat them with to reduce that issue.

My colors are not as vibrant on the timbers I just did and can't figure out how to follow along with course to update as the course is a couple of years old and his screens don't look the same. Do you have a current video on updating printer settings? Thanks, Lelah

@lynnoverton7747 3 года назад

I am considering getting started with sublimation. I have some questions. My computer is not blue tooth and this printer says it is wireless. Does it give the option of connecting it to the printer without it being used as wireless, and did you havae to treat your MDF pieces with something to make it sublimation friendly?

@suefox5162 3 года назад

does the 2760 have to hooked up to the computer to set it up. i am wanting to use it as wireless printer for sublimation

@KimandGarrettmakeit 2 года назад

@CraftyHomeChic 3 года назад

You could also use liquid polyester for wood, it comes as a white paint, it dries very quickly and after sublimating the colors look more vivid and bright

@KimandGarrettmakeit 3 года назад

Oh yeah! We are going to try that. Where would you get liquid polyester? Thanks!

@@KimandGarrettmakeit www.ebay.com/itm/140614041937?hash=item20bd400151:g:GfsAAOSwNfhgrV6Z I have been buying from them for several years, they have 3 types of liquid polyester, 1. polygloss (for any hard and white surface, if the substrate is white you only put a layer of this liquid but if it is not, you must first paint white and put it on a layer of polygloss and sublimate) it looks beautiful, 2. polywhite (for hard substrates it is already white so you should not paint anything, just put a layer on it and that's it) 3. Polycotton. (You can spray this liquid on cotton fabrics, let dry and sublimate. You guys will make beauties with this. Thank you very much for your videos, i really love it.

You made it look really easy, thanks again. I haven’t tried Starbond glue yet, but have seen other YT’ers use it. Did you know they have a spray accelerator? I think it would be Garrett’s best friend! Also I believe they have a bottle with a small tip applicator for the small wood piece you would use on some of your cute glow forge designs.

I loved all of it! I learned a new trick from you guys with the laminating sheets! Your project turned out so great! I have the same printer, but it's used as a regular printer and I love it. For my sublimation printer I got an Epson wf-3540 from FB marketplace for $75 and "converted" it through ink-X-Pro. The guy who sells the inks is super helpful. Also...it's a little known secret that you don't ALWAYS need sublimation paper. I have used regular copy paper a few times ;).

It sounds confusing, but once you are on the website it should make more sense.
