I have the F170, it prints 8.5 and up to 47.24 long. I do buy the roll and cut it for the longer than standard paper. I don't know why Epson doesn't tell you how to print the longer paper, it just says you can print longer. I found a video on printing longer paper and they also sold the 8.5 roll paper. I ordered it and it prints very well. I just got the F570 after being satisfied with the F170 for over a year. You won't be disappointed in the F170. I wish I had the space to keep them both. good luck to all

This is literally the best video on sublimation printers I have found. I've watched a ton of them. Thank you for this. I cannot imagine being able to spend $2600 on a printer, plus the heat press, mug/tumbler press and blanks. I bought an epson et 15000 and it didn't work at all straight out of the box. But I have tumbler blanks. If it can't print that then I'm out of options. I cannot afford $2600 for a printer. I feel so defeated.

Has anybody else heard that the F570 warranty ends at once you print 10,000 prints?

@tcrow49 Год назад

20 oz skinny tumblers are about 8.2 x9.4 inches. 8.5x11 I believe will work. And there is a lot of 3rd party inks that offer color profiles. And when your talking about price I can get a good sublimation ink for $40 for 3 70oz bottles cmy and 1 136oz bottle of K with a color profile that works and works well and that's not $40 a bottle but $40 for 4 bottles. I have not seen any products made with Epson sublimation ink but some of those 3rd party inks really pop, but I remember the day with sawgrass married to Epson and the 4800 printer and what a mess that was. I'm talking head clog city. Those printers were high high dollar printers and who ever got one of those got ripped off bad. It's not that way now but if you price these printers and do the math you will see why most people go with the Epson's. This is just the other side of the story.

@Sara-dv9ft Год назад

Hi, i am thinking to buy Epson ECOTANK ET-15000 and convert it into the the sublimation printer by myself. I am from Europe and in my country the choice of sublimation ink is VERY poor. However, the store does sell the EPSON sublimation ink for models Epson SureColor SC-F100, SC-F500 (which are sublimation printers). So my question is, can i use the original EPSON sublimation ink for the converted ET-15000? Thank you for the info, great video!

@SilhouetteSchool Год назад

Hello there, unfortunately I really don't recommend conversions because the print heads for an ink jet are not made for sublimation ink and can cause damage.

@angela0037 3 месяца назад

Love your videos! Do you have any recommendations for a true sub printer that will print 13x19? I need wider than 8.5" as larger shirts need bigger sizes but am having a hard time finding anything other than converting or spending thousands?? Am i out of luck??

Yes, but you will want to make sure you use sublimation paper that's long enough and adjust the size of the page to reflect that.

new to your channel liked the videos , can you used the hiipoo sublimation ink in the epson f170 or do you have to used the epson ink that comes with it

Can you please confirm what size paper the F170 prints? You mention in the comparison (about 3:55 ish in) that the F170 only prints 8.5 x 11, but the Epson F170 FAQ says it prints A4, Letter, and Legal. Really hoping the F170 also prints the larger size paper since mine is already on its way. Thanks for all you do ... always so helpful!

Hi I have the f170 it takes 8.5x11 and 8.5x14 I am actually going to buy the f570 because I need bigger prints. But I love love love the f170 perfect for smaller projects

@judyromano5088 Год назад

You would have to buy it on the roll and cut it but you can go as long as 47.24 and only 8.5 wide. Which is listed on Epsons website. They don't show how but I found a video how for most all printers and they sell the roll for a little over 20. Fast service. Honestly spinking is the video

@wendyvalerie6624 Год назад

Thank you, very instructive video. Just a simple question please, the sawgrass printer in itself is a very expensive one, why are their inks expensive too. It should be one or the other. I mean you can’t even sublimate on cotton. Cotton is international. Where do people get half cotton half polyester shirts please?

@SilhouetteSchool Год назад

Hi there! Check out this blog post with options! www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2019/08/10-non-cricut-infusible-ink-blanks-you.html

@godzilla927 Год назад

So are you saying none of your printers will print onto black cotton tshirts? Have you tried siser easysubli ink in the Epson printers? I hear that ink works on dark cottons.

@SilhouetteSchool Год назад

You can not sublimate onto dark or cotton shirts. EasySubli is basically HTV that you can use sublimation ink on but it needs to be print and cut, it's not true sublimation directly onto the garment.

@sunnybunny222 Год назад

are there other white toner printers that are less expensive?

@SilhouetteSchool Год назад

I don't know of any that would do all the same things at a lower price. There are, however, other white toner printers on the market but they are either more expensive or they are less expensive with fewer features (like the inability to do both over and under print)

Good Morning. I am interested in selling Tee shirts and cups and anything I can with pictures I take of Northern Nevada as well as the many animals I have on my farm. After watching your video I am leaning in the direction of the Epson F570 pro. Will the smaller one do all the things I want to do or would you recommend the larger one?

@SilhouetteSchool 8 месяцев назад

Hey there! The F570 definitely has it's conveniences! I think if you will need a higher production level and bigger prints, then the larger printer is worth it.

EasySubli won't feed through the Epson F570 or F170..you would need to print on sublimation transfer paper then sublimate that onto the EasySubli. I have a tutorial here www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2022/06/how-to-use-siser-easysubli-with-epson.html

@judyromano5088 Год назад

@@brendafogerty1685 Easi Subli is made for the Sawgrass. That being said I know some have been able to print on F170 and others not. the first time I printed, I got black streaks, I was able to still use design since it was for my sweats and you barely see it. Then the last time I changed my settings, instead of choosing textile for fabric, I let the settings at standard, not on high quality and I can't remember if I chose textile or rigid but it printed out great, no streaks. One lays different amounts of ink down. It pressed and did great. I'm going to try the F570 next. I love the videos from Silhouette and I watch them all so I'm not slamming them. I just know that I've seen some videos where it worked and others where it didn't.

I tried easy subli on my F170 and wasted 5 sheets before watching another blogger state that easy subli is specific for sawgrass printers. My prints were distorted and even 2 days later wet. It boggles my brain because it's a sublimation printer with sublimation ink. But anyway that's my experience. 30.00 lost.
