Angie - I have learned so much from your channel - I'm just getting started with sublimation printing for tumblers and mugs and have followed your advise with much success! Thank you for taking time to teach so precisely. I can't wait to see more videos on sublimation mug/tumbler projects!
Thank you just got the Epson printer for my birthday and waiting on the ink and paper so I can make my first project thanks for your tutorials on how to do it !!!!
Thank you thank you thank you. Month ago you showed us how to covert the eco tank. Tonight was the cherry on top. Best tutorial ever on sublimation. I couldn't go to bed until I got it fone. Thznk you.
You are like taking a college course in sublimation printing. Angie, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I want to do a Halloween quilt for my grandson and include squares of fotos of him in his costumes over the years. Will sublimation printing on fabric work for this? I'm assuming if I can do shirts I should be able to use fabric as long as the polyester blend is correct.
Hi Angie... My wife has a heat press and cricut air2 and she does screen printing with Cricut cut outs etc and shes VERY good at it. She wants to get into Sublimation printing. Is there a printer you suggest to get started that is NOT cheap but not crazy?? I have about $500 to spend for her B day. I guess, what all would i need? The printer, a thing of ink and what else? Thank you... I need the printer to be able to do T shirts and hoodies etc.
I think you can do a Sawgrass for around that amount and it would be a really good printer! I think they come with the right ink. Then she would need sublimation paper, protective paper, and heat resistant tape. Plus any shirts/hoodies to get her started!
@@AngieHolden awesome! Sawgrass? Never heard of it. Oh she has closets of shirts and hoodies and all the rest. Is there a specific model? Thank you thank you
I would just look for a Sawgrass printer that is within your budget. FYI - sublimation MUST be on a polyester shirt or hoodie which is why I mentioned buying some blanks.
Have you ever had problems with cricut actually connecting with the printer? The calibration print works fine. But as soon as I try to print a project, it won't print anything. Thanks!
I have a epson 2720 printer, A sub sublimation paper, hippo print ink, teflon paper, and protective paper that is butcher paper, and Align ruler, I have watched your video on the cricut software, canva software, and photoshop software. I have tried the cricut software for sizing of the paper for printing. I will be printing on t shirt first before going on mugs caps etc. I want to know the correct image size for t shirt on my epson 2720 printer.
It totally depends on your design and what size of shirt you are using. Try holding a ruler up to your shirt to get an idea of how it will look before printing.
Do you know anything about the image that’s printed having lines but with white dots ? I just set up this printer today it’s brand new and that’s what I’m getting
Two things. Be sure your settings are correct. Turn off fast printing, turn on best quality, and pick a matte paper setting. Second make sure your ink is all the way in the printer by printing about 5 full color prints.
Is it possible to actually see you use sublimation on a shot glass? They would make great Christmas gifts but not sure how you would "press" them. Thank you for your great videos.
Hi! Greetings from PR! I hope you are doing well today. You've been an inspiration for me to start with sublimation, so I appreciate the awesome content that you put out there; it's helped me tons👍. I have a question. My printer is an Epson ET 2760, and when I print I see the so called "pizza roller" marks on my image. I have search for the best settings for my printer; they have reduced somewhat, but they are still there. I've read about buying a sublimation paper with less grams in order for it to dry quicker (I've been using A-sub 125g), I've read about cleaning cloths (my printer is new so I haven't tried that yet...) and have watched many videos but to no avail. I don't know what to do as I think I've tried everything. Is this a normal occurrence that the rollers press on the paper so much that it leaves an imprint? Is there any way to reduce this even more? I appreciate your help. Have a great day and God bless.
@@livingthenanalife9943 Hi! God bless you. Where I live tends to be quite humid, especially now that summertime is approaching. Could humidity be the problem?
@@sandramercado4729 I am a retired technology administrator. I have seen roller marks on paper caused by high humidity. Does your printer have a paper tray? If so don’t leave your paper in the tray. God bless you
What are the solutions for any printing troubles you come across in the future? Like splotches or severely clogged ink heads. I would think Epson wouldn’t help resolve any issues because the ink isn’t the same.
hello Angie, I was wondering if saving the image as a PDF will affect the quality of the sublimation print at all. I have saved mine as PDF instead of png, so the size would not change as you suggested. I just want to make sure saving as pdf will not hurt the quality of the colors if i do not save as png. Thanks!
First, do you have fast printing turned off and best quality on? Then make sure if you are in a humid area that you are storing your sublimation paper in the plastic packaging.
I realize you can't possibly have everything and try everything. Especially since printers cost a lot of money. But I am thinking about another option and wonder if you tried it at all. A lot of printers an easily be turned into white toner printers - for example there is a long list of Canon and HP printers where you replace the black with white toner. (there are also dedicated white toner printers which are probably better but very expensive). And there is a smaller list of printers that can use the ghost white "sublime" toner which can print on copy paper and become a sublimation printer. No doubt there are limitations to going that route. But you can use the white toner to make transfers for dark fabrics - or really any fabric. And you can do sublimation without all the technical issues people have converting the Epson. It might still be too expensive for me. But I can use the black toner for my foiling, white toner for a form of sublimation, and sublimation toner for actual sublimation ... plus use it as my regular printer. All from one machine.
@@AngieHolden If you are interested, there is great information on the Ghost White Toner YT channel. It looks like the toner is quite expensive. But one machine that can easily convert from regular color laser printer to white toner printer to sublimiation printer and back again without altering the printer sounds quite interesting. I might get it, but not get the sublimation toner yet as it is quite expensive.
Hey how you doing i saw your video and I also star doing sublimation.... but in canvas you can crop it down them get it to the size you want to ...ps thanks for the videos learn a lot from them
You need to mirror any design with a sublimation printer. You can mirror in the print settings or using something like Cricut Design Space. Either one.
hi I would like to ask a question I bought an epson ecotank and converted it with sublimation ink Thanks to your advice what I was asking with sublimation paper which option to choose in the printer of the type of paper - photo quality inkjet, matte, ultra glossy, semigloss I would not know since I am a beginner please help me thank you very much
I got my 4700 today and now I can't get the red lines out of photo when I print it out. I used sub paper, plain paper, cleaned heads, and all the cleaning in maintenance. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do
First I would check and make sure you have fast printing off and best quality on when printing. Second, make sure you are pressing on something with at least 70% polyester content or a sublimation coating. Then I would check out this video: th-cam.com/video/YqW5199ceOc/w-d-xo.html
question-i did all the printing preference settings but every time i print i have to say yes continue bc paper type doesnt match-am i supposed to set that somewhere on the printer itself?
You would need to change that on the printer. I leave it with the old paper type as it is a reminder to me to make sure I have fixed all of the settings.
Hi Angie! I did convert my Epson ET-2803 and when I went to print something, it was in black. No color at all. I did not sublimate anything yet because of that. I followed your instructions. If you can please help! Thank you for all your videos!
More than likely you turned on a black printing only or monochromatic print setting on accident. Go to your print settings and look for a checkbox that says one of those.
@@AngieHolden I’m sorry but I didn’t see what you said. I called Microsoft to help me, they couldn’t get it to print color either and referred me to Epson. They had me do a print head cleaning 3 times. I’m at a lost!
It took me all day into the night but I figured it out! It had to do with the driver…very confusing! Thank you for your help!! See ya in your next video!
If using design space do you mirror on there and on the printer setting as well ..my images come out mirror but when I sublimated to a mug the image is flipped the wrong way ..not sure what I’m doing wrong .
Hello I love your videos, I need a little help, I’m printing using photoshop and I can’t get the right sizing down for a shirt I want to know if theirs a trick to knowing what size to print out a logo or how you can manage sizing on photoshop so I know what size it’s going to print?
If you are struggling, I would cut out a piece of paper the size you think you want the logo and put it on the shirt to get an idea if that looks right. Keep trying until you get that right then make the logo the same size in photoshop before printing.
Hi Angie, Really not sure if you know this but I guess it won't hurt to ask you.I took your advice on buying an ecotank printer as my sublimation printer, I got the Epson ET 4800. 3 days after buying it my regular everyday printer "died". I never really liked that printer to begin with as it used cartridges and they would never last long at all. The ET 4800 was still on sale so I bought another to use as the everyday printer. So I guess my actual question is will it be ok to have BOTH of the printers connected to the same computer and just use the regular ink printer for everyday stuff and switch over to the sublimation ink printer when I do sublimation prints?
@@AngieHolden Thanks! I thought so just wanted to make sure ! I love you videos and they always make me feel good. I feel like I am sitting down with a next door neighbor for a chat! Keep up the great work!!
Mine says Project incompatible. "This project is not supported by your current machine selection." When this happens with my basic cricut cuts, i just put a shape over it and slice it to remove the white around my design, but even if i design on photoshop and save as a png, it puts that white box around it and i can't get it off.
First, make sure you have an Explore or Maker as your machine selection as Joy does not work with print then cut. Then make sure your maximum size is not more than 6.75x9.25 inches.
I have a question I hope you can help me. I'm using the same set up with same size paper but when I print them it's cutting off some of my image can you please advise me how to do so. Thank you so much
Hello, can you answer this question please. I'm getting my Epson F170 sublimation printer in a couple of days, I ordered the ink you recommend, my question - "should I start and continue to use the Hiipoo ink and not use the Epson ink it comes with?? Thank you.
I have the Epson 2720 and have followed all these steps using cricut design space, im using 94% poly shirt and the design will not transfer to my shirt..do you have any ideas what i might be doing wrong?
Angie,are you using windows,i've just spent over 18 hours deleting my sub printer ET-4700 to get that access as shown when you use print option,i'm on an Imac and also a Macbook Pro.I enen tried D/L drivers from USA and Canada no joy,i'm in UK .cheers Ray
Angie after using this printer for awhile do still recommend this printer? Is it working great for you - quality and ease of use. Also, I found COSMOS ink that fits onto the nozzle on the printer without using the needle - do you think this is a good ink?
I do still recommend this one and I have had zero issues with mine. I am looking to test more in the future just for comparison. Hiipoo ink actually makes bottles without the needle now and that is what I use. I have heard Cosmos is a good ink though!
you truly are the best at explaining and are an amazing teacher . Thank you I loaded my ink today in my epson 2027 after 9 weeks of healing my broken shoulder and I have had my supplies for about 7 weeks but could not do much with my arm in a sling. I am trying to find the best program to use with my Sub printer I also watched your video on setting up all my settings. Thanks again.
If you have the icc profile installed on your computer for the Epson 4700 printer and you still print through design space on do you only have to print through Photoshop, Canva or Affinity? I purchased Affinity Designer
Hi. I love your videos, they are so informative. I'm planning on making care bear t shirts for Halloween and am struggling with how to make them. I bought the svgs for the different bear characters. I plan on using the coordinating colored t shirts to go with the bear. Do I use HTV using the layering technique, or print and cut on printable vinyl or do I use a sublimation printer? I just bought an epson to convert but haven't started yet. It's all a little intimidating. I appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thank you in advance.
First, for sublimation you would need polyester shirts that are light colors. So I would say HTV would be best. I just use the complexity of the design to decide between layered and printable HTV.
Hi Angie, I am making Infusible ink (Water Color Splash) on Bella Canvas (gray) shirt... from cut to weed take 1 hr later before I put on the shirt at (400F/40mins) the color come out very light... do you know why? so is the Sublimation printer ink... I used Hiipoo ink like you said... but I printed and left out for 2 hrs.. before I put onto the same shirt... very light... not vibrated like yours... what have I done wrong?
Hi! Thanks for the video! Im testing it out now and I noticed that my colors aren’t are great. For example, I printed black font and it came out a little gray on the shirt. Any suggestions? I didn’t have it at 400 degs and I also noticed your paper is pretty much white after you press it.. mine still has the image. Any help helps! Thanks!
You can look into color correction: th-cam.com/video/YqW5199ceOc/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgxO9dGU1wXPuA9G-rB4AaABAg I would also make sure you are pressing for the right amount of time and at the right pressure.
I have been struggling forever to do a 9"x 4.25" mug design in Canva as no matter what setting I choose it prints a different size! PLEASE HELP ME I'M LOSING MY MIND!!! tia :)
Angie hi. I’ve watched several of your videos on sublimation and was wondering if you have heard of Forever sublimation transfer paper that allows sublimation on dark 100% cotton t shirts without any other chemicals or glitter/flocked vinyl. I saw this on a TH-cam video from printZebra and wonder what your thoughts were on using it.
@@AngieHolden as I watched more printZebra videos I saw a comment they made that they no longer recommend Forever sublimation transfer paper. I’ve asked them why and am waiting for their reply. I can let you know if they do, if you’re interested.
I noticed both sides of the paper were white how can you tell which side is the side that the ink will go on? How would you place it in the printer. Back side looking up or facing down?
What ink are you using? Make SURE it says sublimation ink on the bottles. Then make sure you are putting on a shirt that is at least 70% polyester content.
Angie I ama registered user in your Sublimation Camp which is coming up May 12th. I have watched the video on the Epson ET 4700. I have gone to Amazon for the price and I see all they Have are refurbished printers. Is this what you bought or is the 4700 been replaced with a newer model. You said not to buy a used printer. Can you please help me with this and let me know your thoughts on this matter. Thanks

Would it work if I add Eco Solvent Water ink instead of sublimation ink
I do not know.
Hello! Thank you for your videos. I have learned a lot from them. I have one question. Can I leave my setting on high speed printing?
No. Turn that off.

Where did you get the sunflower image?
I think it was from Creative Fabrica.
First I love your videos . What laptop do you used . My Samsung tablet does not work with paint and cut . 😑
So my laptop is way more than the average person needs. You can find my laptop suggestions here: th-cam.com/video/UQbxcd8isLw/w-d-xo.html

Not that I know of? You might go to your printer settings and troubleshoot from there.
Does it work the same for a photo instead of an image?
Yes it does.
I have a epson 2720 printer, A sub sublimation paper, hippo print ink, teflon paper, and protective paper that is butcher paper, and Align ruler, I have watched your video on the cricut software, canva software, and photoshop software.

It totally depends on your design and what size of shirt you are using. Try holding a ruler up to your shirt to get an idea of how it will look before printing.
@@AngieHolden Thank you I appreciate.
Why did you unclick the "ADD BLEED" selection for printing with Cricket?
In most cases, for sublimation you do not want bleed. Bleed is going to put extra ink around the outside edge of your design.
If I want to make a full wrap Tumblr would I just choose to cover the hole sheet of paper in the canva program?
I would either measure or look up the measurements for your blank and use those.
Do you know anything about the image that’s printed having lines but with white dots ? I just set up this printer today it’s brand new and that’s what I’m getting
Two things. Be sure your settings are correct. Turn off fast printing, turn on best quality, and pick a matte paper setting. Second make sure your ink is all the way in the printer by printing about 5 full color prints.

Hello, I am looking at an eco tank 2400. It seems like it would work for sublimation. Do you know any reason that it wouldn’t?
Any Epson EcoTank that uses 4 colors of ink can be converted for sublimation in the same manner.
@@AngieHolden thank you so much
Do you recommend washing the sublimation shirts before wearing? Also do you have to wait so long after pressing before washing?
They are permanent right after pressing. No need to wait. And you don't have to wash before wearing at all!
I downloaded Canva I did everything you did, But when it comes to print I don’t see where the Printer comes up
You can't print from Canva. You have to download then print.
Would this work with a Epson ET 4800? I don't see anything on those & just bought one last night.

It took me all day into the night but I figured it out! It had to do with the driver…very confusing! Thank you for your help!! See ya in your next video!
If using design space do you mirror on there and on the printer setting as well ..my images come out mirror but when I sublimated to a mug the image is flipped the wrong way ..not sure what I’m doing wrong .
You only mirror once. I do it in my printer settings.
How do you mirror images with this printer
You click mirror in the settings.
Any thoughts on the Epson EcoTank ET-2760?
You can convert any EcoTank to a sublimation printer. Here is my video on that: th-cam.com/video/-f4oH2x-Nu0/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgytRuH16oEZMGte5r14AaABAg
Hello I love your videos, I need a little help, I’m printing using photoshop and I can’t get the right sizing down for a shirt I want to know if theirs a trick to knowing what size to print out a logo or how you can manage sizing on photoshop so I know what size it’s going to print?
If you are struggling, I would cut out a piece of paper the size you think you want the logo and put it on the shirt to get an idea if that looks right. Keep trying until you get that right then make the logo the same size in photoshop before printing.
Hi ty for video , I don’t noted the quality of this printer , do you think it is the best sublimation printer ?
An Epson Ecotank is budget friendly. I wound not say it is the best.
@@AngieHolden ty for answer , i think I will buy epson sure color f170 , what do you think about it ?
Stay tuned! I think I will have a video soon!
@@AngieHolden I am excited to watch it
@@AngieHolden i waiting for new video about this printer
Hi Angie, Really not sure if you know this but I guess it won't hurt to ask you.I took your advice on buying an ecotank printer as my sublimation printer, I got the Epson ET 4800. 3 days after buying it my regular everyday printer "died". I never really liked that printer to begin with as it used cartridges and they would never last long at all. The ET 4800 was still on sale so I bought another to use as the everyday printer. So I guess my actual question is will it be ok to have BOTH of the printers connected to the same computer and just use the regular ink printer for everyday stuff and switch over to the sublimation ink printer when I do sublimation prints?
Of course! Just name them two different things so you don't get them confused.
@@AngieHolden Thanks! I thought so just wanted to make sure ! I love you videos and they always make me feel good. I feel like I am sitting down with a next door neighbor for a chat! Keep up the great work!!
Mine says Project incompatible. "This project is not supported by your current machine selection." When this happens with my basic cricut cuts, i just put a shape over it and slice it to remove the white around my design, but even if i design on photoshop and save as a png, it puts that white box around it and i can't get it off.
First, make sure you have an Explore or Maker as your machine selection as Joy does not work with print then cut. Then make sure your maximum size is not more than 6.75x9.25 inches.
I have a question I hope you can help me. I'm using the same set up with same size paper but when I print them it's cutting off some of my image can you please advise me how to do so. Thank you so much
Something is wrong with your feeder on the printer. Maybe try a different paper.
Hello, can you answer this question please. I'm getting my Epson F170 sublimation printer in a couple of days, I ordered the ink you recommend, my question - "should I start and continue to use the Hiipoo ink and not use the Epson ink it comes with??
Thank you.
The Epson F170 is a sublimation printer so you don't have to do a conversion at all. I think I would use the Epson ink and return the Hippoo ink.
@@AngieHolden
Thank you, guess I'll do the return. Guess I should have asked first....
I have the Epson 2720 and have followed all these steps using cricut design space, im using 94% poly shirt and the design will not transfer to my shirt..do you have any ideas what i might be doing wrong?
Are you using sublimation ink? Did you add that to your printer?
Angie,are you using windows,i've just spent over 18 hours deleting my sub printer ET-4700 to get that access as shown when you use print option,i'm on an Imac and also a Macbook Pro.I enen tried D/L drivers from USA and Canada no joy,i'm in UK .cheers Ray
It is windows. I am zero help when it comes to a Mac interface. I am sorry.
Great video! Thank you, Angie!!
Angie after using this printer for awhile do still recommend this printer? Is it working great for you - quality and ease of use. Also, I found COSMOS ink that fits onto the nozzle on the printer without using the needle - do you think this is a good ink?
I do still recommend this one and I have had zero issues with mine. I am looking to test more in the future just for comparison. Hiipoo ink actually makes bottles without the needle now and that is what I use. I have heard Cosmos is a good ink though!
If you upload the png file and want to add a text line can you do that and print the text with the pic?
Sure. In Cricut Design Space, upload. Add text. Pick the picture and the text and click flatten. Other programs are different but same concept!
you truly are the best at explaining and are an amazing teacher . Thank you I loaded my ink today in my epson 2027 after 9 weeks of healing my broken shoulder and I have had my supplies for about 7 weeks but could not do much with my arm in a sling. I am trying to find the best program to use with my Sub printer I also watched your video on setting up all my settings. Thanks again.
If you have the icc profile installed on your computer for the Epson 4700 printer and you still print through design space on do you only have to print through Photoshop, Canva or Affinity? I purchased Affinity Designer
You would have to print through a program that can use the ICC profiles. Design Space cannot.
@@AngieHolden thanks
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
How do you mirror your image on the epson mobile app for sublimation plz
I never use mobile for printing for sublimation so I am not sure.
Is there a cd you can buy for photoshop or do you have to pay a monthly membership?
I know I pay a monthly fee. Not sure if you can do a one time any more.
Hi. I love your videos, they are so informative. I'm planning on making care bear t shirts for Halloween and am struggling with how to make them. I bought the svgs for the different bear characters. I plan on using the coordinating colored t shirts to go with the bear. Do I use HTV using the layering technique, or print and cut on printable vinyl or do I use a sublimation printer? I just bought an epson to convert but haven't started yet. It's all a little intimidating. I appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thank you in advance.
First, for sublimation you would need polyester shirts that are light colors. So I would say HTV would be best. I just use the complexity of the design to decide between layered and printable HTV.
Hi Angie, I am making Infusible ink (Water Color Splash) on Bella Canvas (gray) shirt... from cut to weed take 1 hr later before I put on the shirt at (400F/40mins) the color come out very light... do you know why? so is the Sublimation printer ink... I used Hiipoo ink like you said... but I printed and left out for 2 hrs.. before I put onto the same shirt... very light... not vibrated like yours... what have I done wrong?
What is the shirt made out of? You need to have a polyester shirt. I recommend at least 70% polyester for best results.
Also please note that any time you do sublimation on gray, the color will effect your print as it will show through.
@@AngieHolden 😊🙏thanks
Hi! Thanks for the video! Im testing it out now and I noticed that my colors aren’t are great. For example, I printed black font and it came out a little gray on the shirt. Any suggestions? I didn’t have it at 400 degs and I also noticed your paper is pretty much white after you press it.. mine still has the image. Any help helps! Thanks!
You can look into color correction: th-cam.com/video/YqW5199ceOc/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgxO9dGU1wXPuA9G-rB4AaABAg
I would also make sure you are pressing for the right amount of time and at the right pressure.
I will be printing on different sizes of t shirts: small size and large size.
I find that a printer that does 8 1/2 x 14 sheets of paper does everything I need it to do for shirts.
Did your prints look different when printed in each of the software programs?
It definitely can make a difference! I tend to stick with two programs.
I have been struggling forever to do a 9"x 4.25" mug design in Canva as no matter what setting I choose it prints a different size! PLEASE HELP ME I'M LOSING MY MIND!!! tia :)
Try making an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper then sizing your design. Then export as a PDF.
Hi Angie i try to find this kit for sublimation on Amazon but i did not found this printer. Do you have a suggestion for me
These printers are selling out fast. Sorry!
Try Costco.com
I got mine from Walmart buy don't know if they have them anymore. Good luck!
@@bellebereznay8845 I found at Bureau en gros the epson et 2720 and now i'm waiting for my ink sublimation. Thank you for your answer.
What's the largest size it can print?
It depends on the printer you buy as they go up to really large prints.
Will the Epson 4760 work for this
Any EcoTank will work.
Angie hi. I’ve watched several of your videos on sublimation and was wondering if you have heard of Forever sublimation transfer paper that allows sublimation on dark 100% cotton t shirts without any other chemicals or glitter/flocked vinyl. I saw this on a TH-cam video from printZebra and wonder what your thoughts were on using it.
I have a ton of these products in my craft room as tests are coming soon!
@@AngieHolden as I watched more printZebra videos I saw a comment they made that they no longer recommend Forever sublimation transfer paper. I’ve asked them why and am waiting for their reply. I can let you know if they do, if you’re interested.
Oh let me know! I am pretty sure I have that in my craft room to try. I have a stack of things for a comparison type of post.
I noticed both sides of the paper were white how can you tell which side is the side that the ink will go on? How would you place it in the printer. Back side looking up or facing down?
The back has a watermark. Easy to see in person probably harder to see on camera.
Not sure when sublimation would be used.
You can see a comparison here: th-cam.com/video/vo4y-g1z2HY/w-d-xo.html
I did all of this but my print want transfer from sub paper to shirt
What ink are you using? Make SURE it says sublimation ink on the bottles. Then make sure you are putting on a shirt that is at least 70% polyester content.
@@AngieHolden it’s printers Jack ink and the shirt is 70% pol
Haha great video
Has anyone figured out approximately how much it costs to print a sublimation print, for ink, paper, etc?
I have not. Sorry.
CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON SUBLIMATING ON DARKER COLORS PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/gQCZRndBTI8/w-d-xo.html
miss, in photoshop the width is 8.5 not 11
You are amazing girl
Your video is very confusing.
Angie I ama registered user in your Sublimation Camp which is coming up May 12th. I have watched the video on the Epson ET 4700. I have gone to Amazon for the price and I see all they Have are refurbished printers. Is this what you bought or is the 4700 been replaced with a newer model. You said not to buy a used printer. Can you please help me with this and let me know your thoughts on this matter. Thanks
I think this particular model has been discontinued. However, any EcoTank that uses 4 colors works in the same way.
How on the world did you print from Canva it skipped when you opened the file where do you go to open the file
I download from Canva and open in something else to print.
I have recently bought a sub printer, do you no the best app for a android galaxy tablet
,
I don't print from mobile. I only use a computer.
