Thank you so much, we have a sawgrass printer hate the cost of the ink, and after the software update can't use any other ink, I was researching epson printers and you just confirmed the purchase for me, we'll be selling the sawgrass after we get the epson, thank you again
I need to see the process. What program did you print from? How do you get this quality from a Mac computer? how do I transfer the image? how long . What heat temp?
Yes polyester only for fabric I would say anything with 50% or more polyester anything that’s says recycled polyester doesn’t last long and also you can look up other sublimation items on Amazon like key chains, cups, etc
@@sharenalatrese_thecraftgoat question. When I print faces out the look orange after pressing can you help me understand why, or tell me what to do?! Pleaseee!
@@mayamason3055 what are your settings on? If you used the settings I gave you you shouldn’t have this problem. Also what kind of heat press are you using and the settings?
And to those who say that the ink doesn't print well, it's because of the ink that you use that came with the machine, and the settings that need to be done. Some owners think that they get a printer. They put the ink in and they expect it to produce results without any tweaking and troubleshooting. You taught me something I have never even realized when it comes to doing prints.
In the process of converting the Epson 4800 it says it’s missing alignments on the cayan section . I keep ppressing the clean print head mode and paper still prints the same .. not being fixed what should I do?
Hiii Sharena🎉I am brand new to crafting. I purchased this exact machine and the Hippo brand ink, what all can I make with this? Please🌞 oh, I also purchased a Procolored dtf printer...is that machine for printing dtf transfers I get through Creative fabrica? Please🩷⚘️🐦Thank you, much!
Your sublimation machine is strictly for sublimation designs like shirts cups mugs anything of a high polyester count. Your dtf printer is for dtf these are two different processes. Dtf shirts are for shirts as well. You can get your designs from creative fabrica or Etsy or anywhere that has png files
Hello! I’m coming across a problem with all my computers at home where it doesn’t give me those printing preferences at all. What computer are you using?!
What computer are you working from? Try doing a power clean, then reset your printer back to default settings under the MAINTENANCE option on your printer then start the process over.
Thank you for the straightforward details. I appreciate you respecting my time by only showing how to fill one ink holder since the process is the same for the others. Awesome tutorial & recommendation for paper.
Sharena Thankyou so much for your help and guidance in setting up our sublimation printer. I’ll be getting mine in a couple of weeks and I’ll be using your video.. Again Thanks..
Hi how are you? Your setting for paper is not available on my windows 11 it's either Epson matte or premium glossy or premium semi gloss can you advise please and thanks for the videos I'm just starting my sublimation life
New to your channel like the video, I tried converting a new eco tank printer had it two weeks it started leaking the black only I couldn’t even fill the tanks up I had to throw it away Epson would not do anything they said I void the warranty I guess it messed up the ink heads what ever that means
What do you mean by white lines? It’s gonna print a white border around your image. If you want to maximize the size of your photo use the software silhouette studio for your prints. My latest video shows how to do so.
Yes but I also have a epson 2800 that I use so I saved the ink for my second printer but yes if you only have one Eco tank for sublimation and don’t need the ink this would work
Hi thank you for the extremely informative videos ❤ … Which Epson eco tank is best for sublimation? I already have one and someone told me it’s very risky converting the one that I have because it already has ink in it. I can purchase another one just want to make sure it’s compatible with sublimation ink. Thanks
I think you would have to change the heads and the tanks if possible. If not,you use an external tank system meaning you'll have to buy the extra tubes into the machine heads.
I need help! I purchased the ET4800, set everything up with Hiipoo sublimation ink and printed my first image. The color was brilliant! I set the heat press to 400 degrees for 90 seconds. I pressed the image onto 100% polyester fabric. The image was extremely faint. The ink did not transfer as it should. (not new to sublimation, I had an ET2740 and had no problems until the printer went kaput!). What in the world could be happening?
That is way to high and way too long. Try 400 for 40-60 seconds or 380/385 for 60 seconds. Check out a few of my sublimation videos that also may help.
I have an ET-4800 and some things print fine, and others the colors are wrong. Specifically, sometimes teal/green comes out as blue. I tried to do some watermelons the other day, and they were all blue.... I could not figure out how to fix it. Thoughts?
Omg . I was ready to give up but this was very encouraging. No more lines and great quality. Ty so much 🥰
Move the regular ink to Dixie cups and add the sublimation ink to the Epson bottles. Hippo or Big Boy sublimation inks are best
Thank you great tips 😊
This is great. My son just started a small printing business. I just subscribed. Thanks Sis!
Thank you so much, we have a sawgrass printer hate the cost of the ink, and after the software update can't use any other ink, I was researching epson printers and you just confirmed the purchase for me, we'll be selling the sawgrass after we get the epson, thank you again
Thank you so much for making this video. Straight to the point!
Where did u get the usb cord for the printer
Just got mine today and will be using your video for set up
This was great. Thank you for sharing
Hi Sharena. Great Video. Awesome Job. Question: What printer settings do you use for your regular Epson Ecotank printer? Thank you. ❤😊
I need to see the process. What program did you print from? How do you get this quality from a Mac computer? how do I transfer the image? how long . What heat temp?
Hey check out some of my videos on sublimation I have all those answers for you it depends on your projects
So helpful thank you and have you had to alter any of your settings from when you made this video 😊
When I print people I leave everything to standard
Thank you for this!
Can I ask why you only use a cord and never Bluetooth? Is it a personal choice or is there a difference in quality?
I do use Bluetooth now lol they give us the cord so I figured I would just show the cord process in the video
Can you use the sublimation ink as a regular printer?
Yes it has to be an inkjet not sure how to convert a printer with cartridges to sublimation
Does this printer have a paper tray? I can't seem to find ANYONE or any photo showing it. I can't see how people are loading the printer.
Yes it loads from the back
I don't have those printer settings. I have just the basic ones. Any suggestions? I have windows 11
Try going under the main computer settings and going under Bluetooth and devices then choose your printer and see if it can be changed there.
Great Video - great smooth explanation. Question, is this application for polyester fabric material only? Thx
Yes polyester only for fabric I would say anything with 50% or more polyester anything that’s says recycled polyester doesn’t last long and also you can look up other sublimation items on Amazon like key chains, cups, etc
@@sharenalatrese_thecraftgoat question. When I print faces out the look orange after pressing can you help me understand why, or tell me what to do?! Pleaseee!
@@mayamason3055 what are your settings on? If you used the settings I gave you you shouldn’t have this problem. Also what kind of heat press are you using and the settings?
I set my heat press at 400 for 45/50 seconds when sublimating tshirts.
@@sharenalatrese_thecraftgoat Thank you and Happy New Year
Hey just a question what’s the difference between inks
Thank you!
I have a Mac. any tips for getting the best color prints with Mac?
Sorry I work with an hp computer 😬
How do I convert my Epson 4800 if I already put the ink that came with the printer in?
You can’t 😕
I would remove the ink tanks and clean them out and then refill with sublimation ink.
If I don’t set up step 2 would I still be able to use it from my iPad?
I use this color correction only for sublimation. Anything else I print regular.
How many uses of the ink do you get before you have to buy more ink? I'm thinking of printing custom tumblers.
It took me about a year but it just depends on the amount of projects you make.
Thank you, were you printing your own projects or making custom orders?@@sharenalatrese_thecraftgoat
Can we use sublimation paper on cotton tshirts?
It will wash out if you don’t use a sublimation barrier before you put your sublimation image on the shirt.
Brava
So I can still use the printer to printer regular stuff like resumes, etc?
No
@@dianasmith8578 Thanks
I wouldn’t
my
Don’t do it voids the warranty 😂😂
FINALLY! Just a short simple easy step by step on what to click and where to click! Thank you so much!
Definitely with you there Thanks
I just followed your directions for printer set-up. Just want to say thank you for being so thorough.
And to those who say that the ink doesn't print well, it's because of the ink that you use that came with the machine, and the settings that need to be done.

Awesome presentation lady...thank you! Btw....it's at Walmart now for $249
thank you I'm gonna save $80 now thanks too you 😊
@@farawannaalanis9311 happy that the info saved you money😁‼
Same with Amazon
In the process of converting the Epson 4800 it says it’s missing alignments on the cayan section . I keep ppressing the clean print head mode and paper still prints the same .. not being fixed what should I do?
Try doing an alignment
I JUST GOT MY EPSON 2800 AND I FOLLOWED ALL YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. NOW I'M READY TO SUBLIMATE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. VERY EASY AND VERY DETAIL.😊❤
You are very welcome
Hey I love your videos. Thank you, I was wondering, if I replace the ink with sublination ink then can I go back to regular ink?
Yes but I’m not sure on how that process would work. I haven’t had to do that.
Hiii Sharena🎉I am brand new to crafting. I purchased this exact machine and the Hippo brand ink, what all can I make with this? Please🌞 oh, I also purchased a Procolored dtf printer...is that machine for printing dtf transfers I get through Creative fabrica? Please🩷⚘️🐦Thank you, much!

Hello! I’m coming across a problem with all my computers at home where it doesn’t give me those printing preferences at all. What computer are you using?!
hp laptop non Chromebook
Do you think these steps will work when the 2803
Yes they are the same the 4800 just has a fax machine
Awesome.
Thank you for the information!✨
No problem!!
Hi thanks for the video. Can I ask which heat press you use ?
Niiice!!! Those settings are on point. I’m gonna set my 4700 up with the same. Thanks
I need more help :(. My head alignment is not working. And on printer preferences I don’t get all of these options 😢
What computer are you working from? Try doing a power clean, then reset your printer back to default settings under the MAINTENANCE option on your printer then start the process over.
TFS!!! This video is right on time; I just got my 4800 today. I definitely will be following your steps. As far as sub ink goes, I like A-Sub.😊
Thank you glad I could help 😊
Great Tutorial. I just ordered my Epson ET-4800.
Great!
I refer to this video all the time.
😂lol thank you me too
SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL, THANK YOU for posting!!
You're so welcome!
Thank you ❤ I just got this printer. I love the information on getting the best print quality.
I’m ready! Just got mine yesterday! Will be setting up some time this week!! Thank you!
Question? Why do you use the printer chord instead of Bluetooth? Bluetooth for me is so convenient
😂😂😂 I have no idea I’m old fashioned
Thank you for the straightforward details. I appreciate you respecting my time by only showing how to fill one ink holder since the process is the same for the others. Awesome tutorial & recommendation for paper.
Thank your for doing this! Have you been happy with this printer?
Sharena
Thankyou so much for your help and guidance in setting up our sublimation printer. I’ll be getting mine in a couple of weeks and I’ll be using your video.. Again Thanks..
Yeah im glad I brought a different ink. I dont have time for the needle ink lol
Can I print other things like stickers, photos or even scanning or photocopy?
Since the printer is converted or it’s only sublimation?
I would use it only for sublimation if your printer is converted
Thanks for the details
Did you use regular printer paper for your test sheets or sub paper?
Regular printer paper for the printer set up
Thank you! That is the answer to my question!
Why not use up the ink it came with then switch to 3rd party ink. ???
Because they aren’t the same ink 3rd party ink for the sublimation process
You did an awesome job taking your time and explaining step by step. Ty so much. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you ❤️
Do you have to charge ink every time you add new ink or is that a one time process?
One time
Great video. So much better then all that silly ai and chatgpt videos out there. Thank you!
lol thank you
Thank you so much , that was a super helpful video
Thank you soooooo much for the great tutorial. I tried a couple others before finding yours, and I just couldn't deal with how drug out those were. 😅😂
😂😂😂
What if I already do filled the dang things with the regular ink. Can you empty the ink already poured into the printer? 😭
Yes, you can use a syringe to remove the ink you don't want, or you can remove the ink tanks as a whole and clean them out.
Hi how are you? Your setting for paper is not available on my windows 11 it's either Epson matte or premium glossy or premium semi gloss can you advise please and thanks for the videos I'm just starting my sublimation life
If that’s all you have I would use Epson matte
I'm unable to find the color management on my ET4800. It's not like yours in the video. Any suggestions?
What kind of computer are you using! A lot of people who has a Chromebook run into this issue?
I can't find any of these settings on my computer. Can I ask what system or computer you're using?
I have a hp running off latest windows
Great tutorial! I’ve heard a lot of great things about the hippo brand sublimation ink
Glad it was helpful!
New to your channel like the video, I tried converting a new eco tank printer had it two weeks it started leaking the black only I couldn’t even fill the tanks up I had to throw it away Epson would not do anything they said I void the warranty I guess it messed up the ink heads what ever that means
OMG I would have been beyond upset
I heard hiipoo ink is amazing that's what I'm going to order.. but I'm about to order mine now I'm nervous and excited all at the same time
Thank you
Omg thanks for your tips.
Thanks this really helped.
Literally those settings are not coming up under printer preferences
Did you download the printer driver
Thank you very much!
I'm using the same printer same a-sub ink and paper but still it doesn't transfer... Please help
what kind of material are you trying to sublimate on.
When u are testing your ink are u using the sublimation paper or just regular paper
Regular paper
I trying 😊
The way u set this up I can make prints for cups also
Yes
How do I slow down the printing? It has it printing fast but not sure how to change that setting.
Under your print preferences click main options and turn your “biodirectional printing” button off.
How do you setup borderless printing?? I can NOT solve this issue!
I followed your tutorial step by step no issue and it’s still showing white lines on my paper when I go to print, and after as well
What do you mean by white lines? It’s gonna print a white border around your image. If you want to maximize the size of your photo use the software silhouette studio for your prints. My latest video shows how to do so.
I can’t get ride of these lines
What lines?
Could have dumped that epson ink down the drain cleaned and dried then filled bottles with sublimation ink and avoided those syringes
Yes but I also have a epson 2800 that I use so I saved the ink for my second printer but yes if you only have one Eco tank for sublimation and don’t need the ink this would work
@sharenalatrese408 if you use Starcraft ink, they have the epson style bottles to avoid the whole process just a thought
@@CadGuy619 thank you I will look into that brand when I get ready to refill it was sort of a pain 😂

Hi Sharena 👋🏽. I just Subscribed to your channel. Now, I'm officially a New Subscriber. ❤😊
Can I go back and forth between sublimation and normal printing? Would I need to buy an extra ink tank?
Thank you so much for the step by step...hoping to get my printer set up this weekend
So you are not using the icc profile that came with the sublimation ink?
Hmm, I don't have those setting options. Thank you for the video.
what heat press do you use for shirts? Do you use a heat press for hats?
I don’t have those settings on my laptop , will I need to get a newer laptop
Does it have a replaceable maintenance ink pad box?
Hello, what happens if you initially used the ink that came with the printer. Then decide to change it to a sublimation?
I've seen articles that say that is near a waste of time it's so difficult to change back if that helps
Your right thanks for answering
I honestly would waste any time doing this haven’t heard anything good about this.
I think you would have to change the heads and the tanks if possible. If not,you use an external tank system meaning you'll have to buy the extra tubes into the machine heads.
Great explanation thank you 🙏🏾
I have a question. Can it print 4" x 6" photo paper?
OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS VIDEO HELP ME SET UP THE PRINTER
Do I have to register my printer? It will not take my serial number
Thank you so much from Ireland!

This happens depending on the brand ink and paper combo if it’s not printing right I would keep your settings at the standard settings
