Totally trust you and anything you say about products. I owe most of my creative projects to watching your tutorials. Thank you again
I finally gave up on my Epson ET-2800in November. I bought this printer and finally started using it today and the results are amazing. Sharp, clear, colorful prints. I love it!
@@janayfaison5593 I use Affinity Designer 2 so I do know what your print options are. On mine, when I go to print, I click on color management then I select "color handling": Performed by printer and my "rendering intent" is perpetual. Perhaps when you are using photoshop to print, it is using the photoshop app instead of the printer for the color management.
I absolutely appreciate these kind of videos. It isn’t edited and I really like this because we get to see everything without edits and I am sure a lot of us have similar set up questions as you were asking moving through. Like in this video, I was asking myself where the USB was and even Googled it and then you were looking and found it. I like how quiet this printer seems.
Thank you so much! You saved me. I could not get my printer connected to wireless Lan and you had the same problem. You helped me so much I could not find support online without being charged. Your the best. And I am a fan for life!!!❤❤❤❤
Such a cute idea!!! I don't have time today to watch the full video but will watch it later for sure! Thank you! You are darling! I'm from Michigan, too!
Thank YOU for this great video!! I no longer have support for my Sawgrass and am looking for a new printer. I appreciate how thorough you are with your explanations.
YAY!! So happy to see this! As soon as I heard about this printer I was hoping you would do a review/tutorial! I have watched Angie and Cory's videos but like that you did set up "live" so we could see what "issues" we might encounter when setting up. Thank you so much! 😊
Yes, but cheaper than Sawgrass inks. Since only using as a hobby tool to make gifts for friends/family so don't expect to go through ink super fast which is the reason I wanted a lower priced sublimation printer. The fact that it does it's own maintenance so I don't have to use it everyday was a plus.
So the ink won't dry up if you don't use the printer in a week? I have had this happen with the Epson eco tanks. If it don't I am going to best buy first thing Monday morning to buy it @@karenf.6367
I was debating as to which Sublimation rout I would take, I am getting a brother. It seems to be the easiest to work with as a sublimation printer. Thank you so much for doing these, I am sure I will come back and watch again to make sure I do it all right.
I just hooked mine up and ran a test on it and I LOVE IT! Beautiful print out. Their sublimation paper is quite a bit more expensive than A-Sub but I bought a package of 100 , It works very well with Cricut Design Space.

I use HTV Ront paper with no problems.
@@JenniferMaker I was experimenting with 4 X 9.5 sub paper yesterday and was also able to stack it in the tray. I used the sliders to put the stack in the center and touching the back of the tray. I indicated letter size on the screen but set the custom size on the app. My mug designs printed perfectly! I appreciate your videos so much, Thank you 💝
Amazon is listing the page yeild per cartridge as 48 for the Brother. Is the page yield per cartridge really only 48 sheets? That seems excessively low compared to even a Sawgrass 500 (which yes, has a significantly higher ink cost). I just picked up the Brother printer (as my Sawgrass is down right now while I move). I'll be curious to see how many pages I actually get printed with the brother (I primarily do mugs - 2 mugs per sheet of standard letter-sized paper).
It’s been three weeks now since you’ve had the brother, do you still recommend the brother? I saw grass has bit the dust and I’m on the hunt. Ugh Thank you
Thank you for the review, I'm will be traveling for 6 to 7 weeks, at that time if I leave the printer plugged in will it be alright I'm worried about ink drying. Any suggestion?
I for one prefer the real time "live" videos, yours are wonderful and appreciated. I don't like the edited ones so much because they make it look like there were no issues, You do fabulous and I appreciate you. Thank you. All the best and God bless.
I had trouble connecting my Brother Skitch to the wifi also. often it would not connect to my phone- so I could not use it. . this is why I dont like that Brother is now making use use Artspira. I ended up giving away my Skitch since half the time it would not connect. I wonder if the printer is the same way. brother needs to fix this issue. Your video is really helpful thank you!
Hi Jennifer! I recently purchased a Brothers Sublimation Printer after watching your you tube. I love it. I just can't print the calibration sheet without it being mirrored. I placed it on my mat and started to calibrate my Cricut Maker3 which is also new to me What am i doing wrong. I even turned off the mirror on the sublimation printer Thank you.
Here are a few steps you can follow to ensure that your calibration sheet prints correctly: Turn Off Mirror in Both Places: Make sure that the mirror setting is turned off both in your design software (like Cricut Design Space) and in your printer settings. Sometimes, the mirror setting can be applied in multiple places, so double-check both. Check Printer Settings: When you go to print the calibration sheet, ensure that the "Flip Horizontally" or "Mirror" option is unchecked in the printer dialog box. This is crucial to avoid double mirroring. Use System Dialog: In Cricut Design Space, when you click "Send to Printer," make sure to toggle "Use System Dialog" to on. This will give you more control over your printer settings. Minimize the Cricut Design Space screen to access the print dialog box and ensure the mirror setting is off there as well.
Your videos are so helpful. Does this work from a regular desktop computer? I really don’t want to use my phone - though properly easier, all of my images are saved on an external hard drive and I upload them on the desktop. Thanks
Great review! I love this printer. It is my first sublimation printer. I have searched the web to find any information about it having a scanner, but I have not found any info. I have tried the iprint&scan but it will not find the printer and says it's not supported. I thought about contacting Brother, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it having a scanner.
Hi Jennifer, I have a question. I bought this printer and I love it but I tried to do a cup wrap and my cricut and it didn't cut it right. It was a mess. Do I need to calibrate my Cricut so it will work fine. I don't use Atsira. I called them when I got it and they got to work on my computer which it was a game changer. .
Thank you so much for this and all of your videos! I had heard that you need to use a ventilation system with most sublimation printers since they give off fumes. Do you have any idea if the Epson or Brother needs one?
@@JenniferMaker I totally agree. I have seen some printer companies sell additional ventilation systems that hook up to the printers or they recommend running a purifier right beside the printer as well as opening a window. I was just wondering if there were any such instructions, equipment recommendations or suggestions from Epson or Brother. I can't find anything online.
Does it clean itself so it doesn't get clogged? and I also want to know if there is a price for a softer if needed, or if I have to make monthly payments? to use it like the hp I hate that
From Brother: Your Brother machine will perform maintenance purges of the print head at regular intervals. The cleaning is to ensure consistent print quality and prevent damage to the print head. These purges remove any air or debris that may have gotten into the print head manifold. help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/85399/~/machine-performs-regular-cleaning-cycles#:~:text=Your%20Brother%20machine%20will%20perform,into%20the%20print%20head%20manifold.
I ordered the newer Brother sub printer, and wanted to get larger, 8.5x14 paper for it. Do you know if the a-sub 125gr would work well with this printer? I watched your video about weight of paper, but not sure about this printer. I'm not wanting to spend the money for a large pack of paper and not have it be the right kind. So, 125gr or 120? A-sub should be good, right? TIA! :)
LOL did you ever look at the right side of your printer??? It shows you where to hook up the usb which I had to do. OK, I saw you figured it out. I couldn't get my drivers to install until after I connected via USB
I've been binge watching your videos and love them! I'm currently shopping for a sublimation printer. Do you know a good one that prints larger than 8.5" wide?? I've realized a lot of the design on shirts are larger than that but can't seem to find a printer that won't break the bank...and I'm scared to convert one as well since I wouldn't have a warranty or support and I've heard when you do that, it wears out the print heads quickly??
You can search the web for results. Here are a few that I found. www.bestproductsreviews.com/wide-format-sublimation-printer Check out the Epson 15000 and Sawgrass.
@@JenniferMaker Thanks. I've been searching the web for days, just doesn't seem to be an option for what i need. Looks like my only option is to piece together or convert. I was just hoping there was a true sub printer that would print 13x19 without spending thousands as it will be my first printer.
I have a question. When comparing the different printer printouts, why would you use Truepix paper on the sawgrass then use A-Sub paper on the Epson, ecotank and brother. Surely you should use the same paper to compare correctly. Truepix is a very good match for the sawgrass printer, so why didn't you use Epson paper for the Epson printer? Why you not comparing apples to apples?

Amazon is listing the page yeild per cartridge as 48 for the Brother. Is the page yield per cartridge really only 48 sheets?

Do we only need to use Brother paper? Or we can use other brand?
The paper is specialized for the printer for the best results. You can alway test other brands if you are curious.
Any chance the Ink Cartridges can be refilled using other brands Ink?
I have not tried it. I have only used what Brother supplies for their own printers. Their inks are made for their printers.
I'm not vert techie and had problems where she started a video and we had to go to a new video to complete the class so I had to email to get help.
The differences in the images from all the different printers could also have to do with using different papers.

Why do you use cardstock on the bottom and not butcher paper?
To protect the pressing mat 😊🌻
Sawgrass
I have a question. When comparing the different printer printouts, why would you use Truepix paper on the sawgrass then use A-Sub paper on the Epson, ecotank and brother. Surely you should use the same paper to compare correctly. Truepix is a very good match for the sawgrass printer, so why didn't you use Epson paper for the Epson printer? Why you not comparing apples to apples?
You can request that. jennifermaker.com/projectrequests/

The ink for the Brother sublimation printer is made to bring out the best quality for the printer.
What is the largest paper size it will take
The paper tray does accommodate a legal size stack. Pull out the tray, push down on square button on the left labeled Legal and extend the tray towards you. Confirm on the screen that you have put in legal sized paper. The tray will protrude from the front but it's fine. Im not sure why Brother does not tell us this works but I did hear it was because Brother does not make legal sized sub Paper and wants to sell the letter sized.
. I use HTV Ront paper with no problems.
Can you use any kind of sublimation paper in the Brother sublimation printer?
You can only use Brother sublimation paper if you want to get any kind of ink density. As quoted from the Brother website.
Can I buy sublimation cricut paper and use it in my silhouette?
Yes 😊🌻
