With so many creators making videos according to who sponsor them its such a relief to see someone who gives thorough explanations and experience to really try to help people.

Hi Katrina love your videos always very helpful and informative. I have a question what sublimation ink do you prefer hippo or cosmo? I recently ordered cosmo for my new printer this actual one but didn’t have a chance to use it since my printer was broken 😞 . So have to reorder cosmo but lol I’m second guessing since I already have the hippo one on my other ecotank and like how those colors look. Sorry so long but which do you prefer? Can’t wait to watch more of your videos

Ive had my 8550 a little over a year now, i loved it when i got it and i still love it to this day. i will say i use Cyclone inks only because i saw people needing an ink profile with the cosmos inks and i did not want to have to worry with ink profiles. Also i found that i get just as good prints using Plain Paper Bright white, without any smudging or smearing (i got that a few times using Prem Matte setting) anyway you'll enjoy this printer. And you are right i also did not see the need to spend the money on the Sawgrass or the higher cost epsons, the 8550 does all you should ever need especially at 13x19 prints.

@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Жыл бұрын

I agree but I definitely have to use the cosmos ink more to really see how the colors do. I didn’t use a color profile yet. The guys from a cosmos said you don’t need it. So I will do more testing. I never used a color profile except for with my sawgrass.

Okay. So after watching this, I'm convinced to go ahead and get the Epson ET. But now I'm torn on the model. My first choice was the 15000, but the 8550 looks good too. I do plan on using it for DTF, but I want sublimation in a larger format, so that's another reason I'm torn. I can't get 2 of them. Hubby won't like that just yet. I have the SG500 buy you know the size is limited. Decisions Decisions. Anyway, thank you again for being 💯, and so inspirational. Can't wait to see the room updates!

Yeah the sawgrass sg500 is only good for small jobs. 2 big printers. Hubby would love it if they turned around and paid for themselves and started making you money. That’s always the goal when you invest in yourself. Just plan and compare and you will make the best decision. Good luck.

Katrina, I have the Epson ST-C2100...I know it's not the ET-8500, but I was able to get it through my current job at a great discount. Will this work for me?

I don't know printers like that by model numbers sorry. You can change any printer that you HAVE NOT put inkjet in yet or you can add ink to with an eco tank or syringe. You will have to research your printer model

Exactly what heat press would you recommend a new crafter like me? I already have a Cricut heat press that I’ve used once, but I’m not a fan. I’m only a crafter for now, but I want a nice reliable one. I don’t want to have to upgrade later. My daughters getting married soon and I want to help her save some money by making some of her decorative gifts. Let me know when you get a chance.

@lakishas.b7595 Жыл бұрын

Hello thank you for the video. I currently have the f570 and I just purchased the Epson 8550. I purchased Cosmos ink and I’ve always used it for my other printers but I want to try the printer out with the regular ink and maybe switch it to the Cosmos ink. Do you think that would be okay or do you think it’s okay to do?

@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Жыл бұрын

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. If you put inkjet ink in it already you can’t switch as ai stated in the video. You can only use it for either inkjet or sublimation or any other ink but you have to start with that ink in the beginning.

Can't wait to see how photo quality images come out on this printer. It is always so hard for CMYK to produce correct grey images. Did i miss when you installed the ICC profile? Actually with my Epson 7710 I don't use the ICC profile that came with the ink as the normal Epson ICC profile seems to do a better job at it. Also for some reason i thought this was the dedicated sublimation printer for Epsons. If it is the ink that came with it should be sublimation ink. Not sure of all the model numbers though.

@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Жыл бұрын

This is not a dedicated sublimated printer. I don’t use IcC profiles I print straight and never had any issues with colors. Even with my epson 7710.

@bellacosy Жыл бұрын

@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 When printing out anything there is an ICC profile behind it. Epson has its own installed with the printer driver software. The ICC profile i got with my ink was way off in colors, so like you i stopped using it and just print using the preinstalled version. So many Epson Printer models, think the dedicated one looks pretty much identical you your printer. I myself would not go for thier dedicated one as the ink cost would be to the moon and back lol This printer you have here is miles better than the Sawgrass SG500 with a larger color range. Look forward to your future videos.

Hello Katrina, thank you for sharing your experience... Because I have some problems getting correct colors with my epson solution, I try to use color profiles, but it is not really working as long as it is not created for the combination of ink, paper and even the material pressing on it. So the only way getting correct colors is for me to adjust the grafik... Sawgrass is using its own software, profile, ink... How do you do it with epson? Which color profile got your grafik and also printer applied? For example gray is a big challange... Only gray is no problem, because then the printer is using the black ink. But by using different colors including gray (in my case) it is never printing the gray as gray... It will be like purple or green... Would you try it with your solution please?
