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.

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?

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.

Hi Angie, thank you so much for all your helpful videos! I sublimated an A6 journal and not only did I have banding (I'll change my printer settings next go round) but my image did not come out bright and glossy as I anticipated. What did I do wrong?

@AngieHolden

What was the journal cover made of? You need a polyester coating to make it bond. Also the cover would need to be glossy in order to get a glossy finish on your final project.

I am new to sublimation and your videos are most helpful. Thank you for sharing all of your helpful hints. Do you have any recommendations for polishing acrylic after you sublimate on it? a Buffer? Gloss spray? Perhaps it my pressure or time/temp, but I have noticed that when I put an image on a piece of cast white acrylic, the finish does not always come out bright and shiny like the acrylic is before pressing. Sometimes it looks like the paper leaves a film or spotty impression on the surface?

@AngieHolden

2 жыл бұрын

I have washed away that film before using just water. Have you tried that? You might also be getting it too hot and the paper could be sticking due to the acrylic melting.

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.

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 KZread, 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.

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.

Hi great video. I’ve been using the epson et-4700 printer for sublimation that’s been working pretty good but for some reason it’s now saying that my printer is out of paper though there is paper loaded. Do you have any recommendations? What size paper should I set the printer to? And when I print images with black on it it prints with white lines

First, the white lines are probably because your black is clogged. I would look up cleaning procedures. Set your printer to whatever size paper you are using. I would start by cleaning in the back where your paper goes. Sounds like your sensors are not working.

This is good info for new sublimators. I have more experience and am getting a different problem. The “wheels”on my Epson ET-2800 run over the paper as they move the paper and carry the ink to other parts causing lines and streaks not related to an ink clog. Any recommendations?

Lately, I started to notice that this leaves a faded gray area behind the image that is the same size as pad. I don't understand why this happens sometimes and not others. Is this a bad practice?

Two things: Make sure you have a sublimation tumbler with a sublimation coating. Second make sure you have sublimation ink in your printer.

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.

I am wondering about a bad batch of tape actually. Can you just put some tape on a mug you have already ruined and see if it transfers?

Hi I love your videos. I have recently converted my Epson to sub printer and I am having an issue with my prints now. I did one that was fine but then the 2nd time I tried to print something it has like a marbling effect with the ink.. I'm not sure if it's a printer setting or if I have something else wrong. I'd appreciate any and all help 😶

Hi Angie, I am fairly new to sublimation, but love to craft so of course I had to have one more craft! I am making shirts. I used yellow simulation heat tape and it was working fine until it left a glue mark on my polyester shirt. Is there any way to remove the glue from the shirt?

Hi Angie. I am having a problem lining up my print from the sublimation paper to transfer it to vinyl. For example, we printed a picture of a cartoon character on sublimation paper. Then we used our cricut to print out the shape of the character so we could line the two prints up to transfer from the sublimation paper to the vinyl cut out. Unfortunately whenever we do that they don't match up and we get the white outline or the picture goes over the vinyl and onto the shirt itself . What do we do?

That is so tough! Can you have the Cricut cut the sublimation print as well so you can more easily align everything?

Hello Angie, I am very new to sublimation and I've wathed several of your videos. I keep getting white rings at the top and bottom of my tumblers. I am using a tumbler heat press. Not sure where I am going wrong.

@AngieHolden

That is a typical issue. The tumblers are slightly tapered so you will find that you need to really tape a lot on the top and bottom to get the print to transfer.

I have never seen a KZreadr 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?

@AngieHolden

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!

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!!

Hi Angie! When sublimating onto glitter vinyl is there an amount of time recommended or what heat should be used? I have a 9x9 cricut press 1 and I'm saving up for heat press but I got one good shirt with glitter vinyl and the other was faded like all the ink didn't transfer :(

Some glitter HTV does better than others I will say that. Second, I had issues with the paper leaving a residue on one of my glitter HTV projects and when I washed it, it got brighter. And there is not really a standard time and temperature. I just play around with it until I find something that works for that brand.

Like a pillow cover? I would make sure you are not resting on the seam. The seam can hold your heat press of of an area and make that area lighter or not sublimate.

How do you stop the paper line when pressing the image on wood for larger images? I tape my pages together on the back so everything lines up and put wax paper over it when pressing and you still see where one page ends and the other begins even though the print lines up perfectly?

For wood, you probably won't be able to eliminate that. The paper edge is going to leave an indention.

Hi Angie, I am a newbie to sublimation. Just purchased the epson echo tank 2400 and converted it to a sublimation printer. The issue I'm having that I can't seem to find an answer to or inderstand how to fix is why all my designs that I sublimate either it be a mug or a tumbler prints out mostly pink. People have told me sounds like the cyan isn't working. I have no idea how to check or fix this. It's a brand new printer. Is it possible my nozzles are clogged or is it in my color adjustments? If color not sure which way to go adjust on the color scale. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sure. Print a nozzle check and see if the lines are missing or broken.

Hi! Do you have a video showing how to find those setting? I have searched printer and computer and I can't find those options. When I hit print it doesn't give me option for paper type. When I look in settings I only see where it says fast but no way to change it. I tried printing first image tonight and the black looks very grey and lines going through it I'm guessing that's banding... I did cleaning when printer was setting up.

My guess would be you have the wrong printer driver. Go to Epson website and download the driver for your printer and install.

Great video. When I set up my printer with sublimation ink, I didn’t fill it just in case it didn’t work. I’ve been using it for about a couple of months ( not every day), but the level hasn’t really changed. It’s still above the mark. Been afraid to add the rest of the ink for fear of messing it up. Any issue when filling?
