Love the video. Love Tamara's aka RTSsublimationblanks. The website has instructions for all your blanks. (Time and Temp) I cant wait to see what you create.
Awesome! Thanks for the info! I am seriously so excited to try her blanks! Especially the hoodie and maybe I'll get really daring and try a tumbler!
Love how you break everything down and explain how to do things! Awesome Job 🎉 I couldn’t help but notice that your Apple Watch ⌚️ plays a recording while your filming which is HILARIOUS wow 🤩
Thank you! I do my best to help! I use my Apple Watch to tell my apple phone to record, so it’s weird because it’s live on my watch which totally throws me off sometimes!
That is a great bundle you bought. I cannot wait for you to make something with that printer 🖨
You and me both! The weekend can’t come soon enough!
Thank you for your help epson et 15000 sublimation from 🇨🇦
You are welcome!
Congratulations. I am eyeing one too. I sublimate for fun and I have been following you. My WF 7720 just broke down after a few months of use.
That is too bad that it only lasted a few months for you! Does it have a warrantee? You won't regret the Epson 15000, or you could go smaller, I really like my Epson 2760 as well.
Omg! Emma I love how you have explained everything 😊😀 you are a doll and I'm thinking about getting this printer after watching your awesome video 😊.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and being a valued subscriber!
@@EmmasCottage you are very welcome and I decided to go with the Epson F150 there are so many to decide upon but I can't wait to get it, I ordered it today 😊
I just got my printer! Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to see what you create! Join us on Facebook at Emma's Cottage DIY or tag me at #EmmasCottageDIY on Instagram or Tiktok!
thank you for doing such an amazing video on our printer start kit. I loved watching it all come together.
You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I just ordered a lot more blanks that I am so excited to try!
Super happy for you 👏🏼💕🎊 Congratulations. I have one like 3 weeks ago after looking everyday for a month everywhere 🥰
Thank you so much!! I'm happy you got your hands on one as well!
Thank you for your video, just getting into sublimating. Setting up my ET15000 printer today and have been watching your videos. Hopefully will be bleaching some shirts as well today. I also work from home too, I'm glad to see that my "office" looks crazily familiar like yours. Now I don't feel so bad about having 3 printers, LOL.
Welcome to the world of Sublimation! I look forward to seeing what your create!
Great video from start to finish!
Thank you so much!
Again Thank you so much, I appreciate you! 😊
You are so welcome! I appreciate you coming back to watch my videos! I've got another one coming this afternoon!! Stay tuned!
And by the way thank you for what you do your so helpful.
I’m so glad you find it helpful!
Great video. Maybe try getting the Epson sublimation ink ICC profile, might make a difference.
Thanks for the tip! I'll try that!
the ink that came in the box for epson is not sub ink thats probably why looks like that for best epson sub ink T49M sublimation dye from epson its for the f570 and 170 great to put in the ET 15000
Thanks for the tip
Can you tell me bout your craft table. Thank you so much for all your expertise 💜🦋
In this video I show a close up of my craft table, you can fast forward to 40:48. th-cam.com/video/dRh6FP7dr58/w-d-xo.html It's just two shelving units then a piece of wood that we cut to size and placed on top.
@@EmmasCottage thank you so much! Love your videos
Great video. One question I had was how are you applying color profiles in your computer? Cosmos and Edison provide downloadable profiles and I was wondering if you printed the tests using the correct profile for each? I have the f170 with epson ink and I’m looking to upgrade to the et15000. I would imagine all I would have to do would s make sure the settings are all the same and my colors would look perfect. I print customers photos on metal panels so I have to be as accurate as possible.
Yes, you will want to download their color profiles but even then I have found myself adjusting just slightly as needed.
Emma I should’ve asked what editing program do you use with the 13 x 19 sublimation paper.
I do most of my designs in Cricut Design space then print from Microsoft Word.
Hi Emma
Thanks for helpful video
In my country I find et l15150 et l15160 ec m16600
Can convert to subli printer as et l15000
Can I use t49m1,2,3,4 epson ink even it design to surcolor .
The Epson Sublimation ink that I used in this tutorial has worked great for my printer. I would assume it should work for yours.
I have had my 15000 for almost a year, it’s time add ink do I go through the whole process like adding ink for the first time
If your using the same brand you can add ink at any time. If you’re adding a different brand you’ll want to print on regular paper until all the ink runs out and then put in the new ink.
Emma I use Silhouette Studio for editing. The mat only goes to 12 x 24”. So how would I use the 13 x 19” paper ?
I’m not familiar with Silhouette Studio. I’m sorry.
Your videos help alot, I love watching! Is it true you have to use the sub printer everyday, or the ink will dry up? Also, do you leave your sub printers plugged in all time? I've had My 15000 printer for atleast 2 months, and it's still in the box. I'm so nervous to take it out and start using! Lol thank you for sharing, have a great weekend!
What are you afraid of? I can tell you that weeks go by and I don’t use mine and my ink has never dried up. I do leave it plugged in as well all the time where I have it set up.
@@RetiredGranny I have a Cricut explore air 2, and it was in the box for over a year, before I got it out. Lol Omg, thank you so much for your help!!
I have heard that you need to leave the printer on so that the sublimation ink doesn't dry up. I have tried researching this but cannot find out if that is true or not. I do not print everyday, I only print maybe two or three times a week. But when I do print I'm printing multiple pages at a time. I agree with Retired Granny, don't be afraid!! Open that box, get it set up and let your creative juices flow! You can do it! Feel free to join our Facebook group at "Dandelion Cottage DIY with Emma." It's a safe place to ask questions and get to know others who are in the same boat as you!
@@cindyharrington9857 no problema lol i read many comments just like yours. So it was very intentional that I took my printer out of the box immediately upon its arrival. And I also bought a Cricut at the same time and my husband learned that. We’ve been making all kinds of shirts. Mostly for family ( we have lots of kids) but we’re retired and this is just a hobby for us. Glad to help in any way. Good luck and Open them boxes 📦
@@EmmasCottage thank you Emma for your help, too! Yes I will
So, after the initial sublimation ink set up and after you run out of the sublimation ink, when you need to refill the sublimation ink... what it that process?
I just add more sublimation ink. I’m happy with the Cosmos ink in the one and the Epson ink in the other so I haven’t needed to switch brands. If you did want to switch brands, they say you should try and run it until it’s out before changing to another brand.
When are u coming back Emma? I miss seeing your videos. I know this is an older video,but does this really print 13x19 ? I have been going back and forth on printers, i originally wanted this printer but currently its the same price as the epson ecotank 8550 and people say the biggest the 15000 does is 11x14 and the 8550 does borderless 13x19..... so i just ordered the 8550 after watching videos of people comparing them. Now im wondering if i did the right thing? Its supposed to be delivered tomorrow and i havent ordered the cosmos ink yet either, I currently use an epson ecotank 2760 and i just want a bigger or wider format.
It does print that big but it will have a slight border limitation. The biggest I usually print is 17x11 so I wasn’t to worried about it. I’ll be back soon!!
Thank you for the detail set up video...I just got my printer too!!!
Question...what settings do you use for printing? I feel like I'm not getting the most out of my ink (might be the ink too)!
Watch this video, th-cam.com/video/_Zx5ZQ4oAYA/w-d-xo.html and fast forward to 24:15 and I explain what my settings are.
Do you have a video on your Epsom printer settings?
I show my printer properties in many videos, check this one out and fast forward to 14:51 th-cam.com/video/oZv5-c_YT8I/w-d-xo.html
@@EmmasCottage thank you !
What program do you use for creating designs. I printed a design using Canva and it is very dull. Not sure how to change the settings to get the correct coloring for the image. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. This is the first time to open the box and use my new Epson EcoTank 15000.
I actually print from Microsoft Word and I love it. That’s just my way of doing it. But many others use canva or other websites.
Can you use the 11 x 17 inch paper in this printer?
Yes!
Hello Emma... I'm wanting to invest in the ET 15000 what ink may I ask. TIA
I love Cosmos ink the best!
Do you know where we can buy the epson sublimation ink?
Lots of different suppliers. I’d recommend from Epson directly. Try googling Epson Sublimation ink and you’ll find lots of options.
U mentioned cosmo ink and epson ink? I didn't know epson had a sublimation ink? Or did u mean epson ink with iron on paper?
Epson sells actual sublimation printers, they are very expensive at $3k plus. I bought the Epson sublimation ink and put that in my 15000, it’s been working great!
Can I used Cosmos sublimation ink in the ET15000 ?
Yes you can!
When you switch from the epson sub ink to cosmos did you notice any issues? I thought I heard you do not want to mix two brands? Did you clean the printer heads or anything? Also have you ever tried hippo brand verses the cosmos and what are your thoughts if you had? Thanks
I have not had to switch the ink yet. I have not tried hippo ink so I’m not sure if it’s good or not.
How can the 15000 be set up for larger paper
What size are you inquiring about? 11x17?
Since you have large paper now, what software would you use to create? Cricut won’t print large images
Check out one of my most recent videos. I teach a great work around for this! th-cam.com/video/_Zx5ZQ4oAYA/w-d-xo.html
I’m a beginner. Is this the printer I should start with?
This one or the Epson 2760 is great too! The 15000 allows you to print larger prints. If you want to do this long-term go with the bigger printer.
@@EmmasCottage I plan on revolving my business around baby clothes and youth sizes. You think the smaller one would work good?
@@raisingpaisley4273 Yes. I use the 15000 to print images for my L-3XL, I also use it to print two smaller images at a time if I have a lot of orders. If your just printing small images the 2760 would be a great machine for you. Here is a link to the model I have, amzn.to/2WckIns
@@EmmasCottage you’re amazing thank you so much!! I’ve learned so much from your channel.
I was thinking about purchasing this printer. On the ink would you recommend getting the epson sublimation ink or the cosmo ink?
Cosmo's ink 100%! I've tried a few others and Cosmo's is my favorite! Here is my link, shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1363259&u=2952249&m=89134&urllink=&afftrack=
If you change from one brand of ink to another do you need to wait until it is completely empty or can you add the new ink to the printer when it is low?
To be safe, I have heard that you should wait until the current brand is out before you add in another brand. Some say if it is really close then purge the remaining ink by adding in cheap copy paper and printing over and over again until all the ink is out, then add the new ink.
@@EmmasCottage thank you so much!
What epson ink do u use in the 15000
I used the Sublimation ink that Epson sells. I’ve since switched it back to Cosmos
Does Tamara sell the epson ink by itself
I just checked her website, and it doesn’t look like she does.
Are Epson ink sublimation ink? Just a bit curious. Thanks
No it is not. It comes with normal printing ink. you need to purchase sub ink separate. HTH
Kylekhlee is correct. If you purchase the printer from a warehouse such as Office Depot or Staples it will come with regular printer ink. You DO NOT want to put that ink in the printer. You will need to order sublimation ink separately. My favorite is Cosmos Ink. If you order from Tamara's Tidbits her package comes with sublimation ink.
@@EmmasCottage Thanks for the amazing videos. I'm confused @42:10 you say you'll be using the Epson till it runs out? Are you using it for sublimation. TIA.
@@MrKjam37 It's Epson Sublimation Ink. Epson does sell sublimation printers but they are very expensive. You can purchase the less expensive regular printers and put sublimation ink in them.
@@EmmasCottage GOT IT 😉🥰
Hi there hope this gets to you I need help to set up my printer to print 13x19 can you please help?
If you have Facebook, please join our group. Emma’s Cottage DIY. There are lots of friends who can help you!
My printer did not work it said ink charging and on every ink has red X like if I don't have any ink
I'm sorry, I do not know what went wrong. Possibly reach out to Epson?
I have the Epson workforce 7210. Do you know how to get my colors set on this printer? When I look at what I'm printing the color is correct on the computer but when I press it it's a grayish color.
Did you download the printers drivers? You will want to do that to make sure you are printing correctly for that printer.
I'm thinking I did. It prints it's just the colors don't come out correctly once they're pressed they look correct when they print on the paper. How can I check to find out if I've done the drivers correctly?
@@sasseestreasures4563 You could reinstall it. In a few of my tutorials I show what my settings are, fast forward to one of those sections to copy how I have mine set up.
I’m sorry, what was the discount code again?
Woooo, never mind it’s $96 to ship to Alaska 🤦♀️
Oh wow that is a lot!
I am new to sublimation and was looking at the cosmo website. What package would I get to put into the Epson 15000 when I set it up?
There is a package that list that it works for the Epson 15000
All I see is one but it says it’s refills? Would that be it?
When you are on their home page click Sublimation Ink for Epson Printers, Epson EcoTank, and Sawgrass Printers. Then it will give you 6 options to choose from, select the first one on the top left that lists Epson EcoTank Printer Sublimation Ink Refills, it lists ET-15000.
I see it. Thank you so much. Just wanted to make sure I was getting the right one.
How long does a box of cosmo ink usually last you?
