I bought an Epson ET 2720 a couple years ago for sublimation. I’ve never had a problem and it was very budget friendly. I did swallow hard when I voided the warranty but got it for less than $200 so figured worse case I’d throw it out right? Then I wanted wide format of course 🤦🏻♀️ so got an Epson ET15000 and REALLY had anxiety and hyperventilated converting it at $699 plus tax! Happy with both but bottom line I have had Brother embroidery machines for 20 plus years so probably would have purchased this machine. However I love wide format so??? Thank you for this tutorial as always Angie. I’ve learned so much from you! Oh and budget is a concern for me like many others.

For the price, I really love my converted eco tank, I pay around the price for one of the brother cartridges, and get all 4 colors, and in 2 years I have only had 1 clog, and that was on me because I had not used the printer in a month, because life happened. I started making sure to print a full color page once a week if I do not use the printer, and have yet to ever have another issue with it. So I would not recommend an eco tank to anyone, if they did not use it on a regular basis, the clog was a huge pain and took multiple days to get it working again, but again, I feel like that happens on any printer that sits (aside from the ones that try to keep the ink moving) I do however, love those colors both on print, and on the printer haha =)

Im a long-term ScanNCut user. I love it, but as far as customer service (lol) goes, it's... suboptimal. They're nice, but extremely unhelpful. And documentation for anything beyond the basics is non existent. Again, i love my scanncut, but I've learned most of what i know from KZfaq and trial and error. Their equipment is quality though, so I'd imagine this is too. I'm doing pretty well with my ecotank printer - i did a lot of research on color profiles and have been satisfied. I'm starting to get more - and bigger - jobs though so will be investing in an SG1000 soon. I really need a wider format printer, and it's faster too which would be very helpful

I print small trophy style type signs that show company logos onto metal blanks. These logos can have a lot of detail in them, so crispness of detail is vital. We have used Sawgrass printers with good results, but as many know, the ink is very expensive and you do not get much for the cost. I would love to see your response or even better a video for all us hard blank clients who need high resolution results.

Also, If you can show where and how to get the drivers so you can connect from a PC or Mac that would be great 2. I know it sounds like alot but even if you did this is a 2 part video that would be perfect. Thanks you for this video and I hope you can do more videos on this Brother Sublimation Printer.

This will be my first sublimation purchase...was considering Sawgrass 1000 for the bigger size paper. But, do you use Tabloid size much? If so, what for? Thankfully yours, Cheryl

I actually rarely use a larger size paper so I have not worried about it yet!

Hi. I have been looking at this printer and glad to have you review it. My concern is that I use design space and want to be able to use it with this printer. Is that okay to use? I’m new to sublimation but love the beautiful things you can make. Have been debating over a year now which is best for me. Thank you

Hi, I was wondering about the ink for the sublimation..How well does it hold up after multiple washes? Is it just as vibrant?
@AngieHolden6 күн бұрын
Sublimation ink becomes a part of the fabric. It will last longer than the shirt itself. There is very little fading over time.

You need at least 65% polyester content in any fabric that you sublimate on.

when you run the test papers, do you need to use the sublimation paper> it seems like you had to use 2 pieces and then throw them away! Also can u use other sublimation paper?

You can use regular copy paper on those first prints. I just had that paper beside me. And I have used other sublimation paper brands since the filming of this and they all worked great!

I’m so confused on the 3 prices and what it comes with. If you get just the printer it comes with ink correct? And do the others come with extra ink? I can easily just spend the lower amount correct?
@AngieHolden8 ай бұрын
Yep the just printer option would be what I am showing here. If you want extra ink/paper you would choose those other options.

I have the F170 and its big brother F570. both printers come with "full" size ink bottles that you just pour into tank. Its very easy and its made so there is no mess or getting it in the wrong tank. I've had my F170 for a couple of years. I've never had clogged heads or had any issues. There are times I've let it set for months powered off and it starts right up when powered on. The ink profiles are built in so you don't have to worry about that either. My ink last quite a long time as well. Its about 400 and is so easy to set up as well. Both of my printers are awesome. I'm happy that Brother came out with their printer. We need more sublimation ready printers at a cost most can afford and it doesn't break the bank when buying more ink. its always to check out videos like these when we are thinking or already bought something. You get lots of good info

If you want to cut the HTV, you will need a Cricut machine. There is printable HTV but most of those are for inkjet printers. There are things like EasySubli that you can print on a sublimation printer but again a Cricut would be needed for most cuts.

Hey Angie, great video! Very informative. Can you tell me if the ink on the Brother dries faster than the converted Epson? I had to put my Epson prints in front of a fan for at least 24 hours before I could cut the images in my Brother ScanNCut. Very disappointing. Now the Epson is clogged so on my way to get the Brother. Thanks again.
@AngieHolden6 ай бұрын
Is that printing on sublimation paper? They should not be that wet. If you are printing on something like Easysubli, I have not tried it with this printer.
@jeffculbertson93846 ай бұрын
Yes, coming out of the Epson they would be wet enough that it would get ink on the rollers of the ScanNCut and then streak the rest of the page. That happened after waiting about an hour. Occasionally 24 hours wasn't long enough. So glad I got the Brother. I printed two images without any problems last night. I'm glad I switched.@@AngieHolden
