Sublimation crafting is trending, and - more importantly - SUPER FUN! If you've already got a sublimation machine (aka sublimation printer,) you know exactly what I mean. It's a real game-changer for crafting!
The biggest hurdle to sublimation is getting the right sublimation printer. So I took four sublimation printers (Sawgrass, Epson F170, EcoTank, and WorkForce) and compared them on price, availability, quality, speed, everything ... all so you can see how they line up and then pick the one that is right for you and your needs! Find out which sublimation printer I thought was the winner in this video.

I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. I watch a lot of maker videos on a variety of topics and this was the first time I saw one of yours. Very well produced with a perfect amount of details. Never got into the weeds, never got boring or slow,, and watched the entire video without skipping ahead. Subscribed.
I love my eco tank. I emptied the ink bottles that came with it, washed them out, air dried. I put my sublimation ink in the auto fill bottles. I have not had any issues with my ink drying. I’ve had 6 month gaps between printing. My sublimation prints are very detailed, and everyone comes out great. My biggest suggestion is to turn off the bleed in cricut design space when you print.

Jennifer! Thank you as well for going through this process and touching on points that we possibly wouldn’t have thought of to look for in a sublimation printer. I’m new and want to start doing sublimation, for a bit discouraged when I saw the prices of the printers, then felt ok when you shared that an eco tank could be converted into a sublimation printer. Though, with sharing that to not have the print heads dry up, we need to pretty much always be printing, I’ve concluded the sawgrass is good. Thanks again 🤗
Thank you for being such a phenomenal teacher! I was so confused about a few sublimation process details and you fully educated me. Thank you so much for your dedication and style...

I appreciate this video because I impulsively bought a Sawgrass because I found one locally, but I already have a Epson EcoTank. I have the Sawgrass in the box and I’ve been researching to find out if I should keep it. I’ve already had the nightmare of the EcoTank leaking and needing the heads cleaned because I don’t use it often, however the more informative videos about the hazards of converting printers have been made since I purchased the EcoTank. Your perspective made me sure that I made the right call.

Over the course of 10 years, I have converted several different Epson printers for sublimation. I ultimately bought the Sure Color F170 because it was made for sublimation. Just a heads-up about the 2000 series eco-tanks; when your printer starts to print dark lines and streaks and you keep running print head cleanings (which use a lot of ink), eventually the non-replaceable maintenance tank will be full and render the printer useless. There are workarounds for this, that sometimes work and sometimes don't. I just wish Epson would come out with a mid-range wide format sublimation printer. They jumped from the F170 to being $400 to the F570 being over $2000.

Thank you for your excellent review. My husband bought me the Epson eco tank for Christmas last year. I used the Cosmos sublimation ink I was able to do a few projects and then two months ago I went to make a shirt for my granddaughter and it had lines through it. I tried cleaning the heads as per the Epson inst., but after a few times of trying this it still didn't clear up the problem so then I tried using a head cleaner that was recommended, well it made a mess, and then my printer kept giving me an error code and wouldn't work. Costco said they would take it back and refund it, but I felt that since I had converted it, it wouldn't be honest to return it. I was bummed this morning about the whole thing, my wonderful husband gave me an early Christmas gift, the SG500 Sawgrass! He had it wrapped in the guest room closet, and he decided to give it to me early because he saw that I was so bummed about it. Again Thank you so much! Have a very Wonderful Christmas!!

Over a year ago after much research I got the Epson F170. It was easy to find. I went to Epson's website, put in where I lived and they gave me the info on a local dealer. When I need ink, I call him and pick it up. The ink that comes with it, isn't starter ink, like others, its the full size large bottle. I've just started on my 2nd bottle of black and all of the other colors are still going strong. I also loved that I didn't have to give up my warranty. It was supper easy to set up as well. By downloading the recommended drivers and software it printed out great from the beginning. I didn't even know about ICM then. And this also allows me to print from PDF, Word, etc. I don't have to have other software unless I want to do a lot of editing. Most I do in Word. I go for months without printing anything. Not one time have I had any problems. It has never clogged or printed out wrong. So I don't know why it was said you have to print every week or so, not so. I've also printed designs up to 47 in long as well. If I decide to get a larger printer in the future, it will be the Epson 540. I'm an HP lover and just bought a new one for regular print but Epson does good for sublimation. And I'm not spending more than the cost of printer in ink each year. Thanks for the video, its good to see the comparison. I think a little more research on the F170 would help though. Just my opinion.

I have the Epson Eco Tank and I absolutely love it. I've been using Epson printers since the 1980's, long before they had color printers. They always deliver. It's so easy to refill the ink tanks and so inexpensive! It can go for weeks with out printing and I've never had a problem with ink drying. In the past, I've always used printers that take the little cartridges which seem to run out pretty fast. I've only refilled my Epson once and I've had it for around 2 years now. I've had other brands of printers over the years but nothing beats the Epson for me. Interesting video - makes me want to look into doing some sublimation stuff! I love yard flags.

I went with a converted Eco tank printer for the low costs for the printer and ink. I'm junking it and buying a Sawgrass. I got great results - at first, but multiple issues came up - some due to maintenance, and some due to the fact it was a low-end printer. I came to the realization that ruined blanks are way more costly in time and money than expensive ink. As an aside, here we are a year-ish after you posted this video, and the Epson F170 is STILL hard to find. I love your videos - they are always well thought out, logically presented, and informative.

Great Video. One thing about Sawgrass printers you should be aware of is that they burn through ink like crazy. My SG400 would go through about 4 minutes of cleaning cycles on every power up. I would watch the ink level indicators drop as it is only 24 ml of ink. They are pretty reliable but mine has seen the quality go down after 2 years of light use. Looking for some other solution for making mugs.

I think I’m gathering that the print resolution is the most important factor for a beginner… I don’t care about scan resolution being 1200x2400… 10.0/5.0 iso ppm means it’s slow? So if I don’t care about that either, and I have Adobe Photoshop, would this be a good fit for a limited budget? (This was substituted for the Ecotank ET-2720 that I actually ordered from Amazon. Don’t know if I should keep it… I value your input! Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Thanks for your professional channel!

The Ecotanks can be less expensive to operate. You can ask this in my group. facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy

Hi Jennifer! Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Your born to teach! I'm at a point in my business that I don't know which way to go. I Converted my epson ecotank into a sublimation printer which has been working great except it only does 8.5 x 11 sizes. My customers want much larger sizes so I am going to have to get a printer with a wider format. The other issue is I have been using the sublimation printer with DTF film and DTF powder to do on cotton shirts. Now, I have orders with dark color material. That only leaves me using the easysubli paper to sublimate on. Since I must invest in another wide format printer do you recommend a sublimation or dtf? There is a big price difference so I want to chose wisely. Any thoughts?

Loved the video. I'm torn between the 2 you recommended and have a question about the software. What is the best software and does the software with the sawgrass have a monthly fee.

Here are some FAQ's from Sawgrass for that. www.sawgrassink.com/getting-started/faqs
I had to return my Sawgrass. The software requires Microsoft Pro or Bussines. I just have a Home edition. Had the opportunity to try it in my office computer and was awesome.

You can use an Apple with Sawgrass.
I have the sawgrass and it’s the best. So easy to use and the ink lasts forever

Hi there. Thanks so much for such an informative video. Got a lot from it. I just had one question, do ecotank printers need conversion?
@JenniferMaker
Жыл бұрын
You are so welcome! You will need to convert the Ecotank printers to sublimation. If the printer is new, you can simply start the printer up for the first time with the sublimation ink.
So informative!

Thank you for this video! It was really helpful. I was wondering something about the EcoTank. If you don't use it on a regular basis, could you take the ink cartridges out and put foil on the openings to keep them from drying out?
