My goodness!! I JUST ORDERED her!! I mean JUST! Waiting for my email to go pick her up! I’ve been eyeing her for a while! Price increased by $100 then it was out of stock! Restocked at original price. I have an Epson 2400 and I converted using hiippo ink which worked perfectly! I just needed a wide frame printer. I was going to try another ink but seriously HIIPPO is good so I’ll probably order another round for my 8550! So excited!! Thanks for sharing!!
My 2760 just died on me.... I see you and many Black folks on here are rockin with the 8550. Im about to get it. I love your setup up and ya stuff. Keep doing ya thang my sistah!!!
Someone did a video on reconverting a sublimation printer back to a regular printer. It’s on you tube. He doesn’t recommend flushing but recommends using all the ink and replacing with regular ink without flushing. He says as you refill with regular ink, the print comes out normal
omg what a great tutorial! I watched because I just got introduced to this printer and wanted to know how it worked when turned into a sub printer. I'm sold!! But can I make smaller sizes as well on this?
I just bought Epson ET 8550 2 weeks ago I've watched so many videos until I was overwhelmed..But you came along and now I can breathe again..lol You made everything so simple..Girl you are the Best..I will be following you for sure..I am in business now and can't wait to make my first shirt..1 question all those videos I watched they say you have to take the wheels off/.pizza wheels I noticed you didn't not and your shirt was Beautiful..So what's your input on removing the wheels..Be Blessed
Lol. Me too. My head hurts right now. I knew she did one and should have just watched hers first. Now I'm wondering why we putting photo sub ink in the machine?
Just set up my printer. Can't seem to get rid of the broken lines. Done many nozzle head cleanings and no luck. Would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thank you!
Do you know if I can use DTF ink on sublimation paper and blanks? This way I can use on dark colors and 100% cotton too with the white ink that comes with the DTF. Or I just purchased the ET8550. Thank you very much
Hi I not sure if you can help I have same printer filled ink had two sections empty bought new ink. Filled other two colours but printer not picking it up via head check or printing 😬
I purchased this one in Nov 22.i haven't been able to print 13x19 yet. Can't get my page and paper to coordinate in settings. I will watch this and see if you cover this
Very informative video!!! Thank you so much. Ive been looking for a quality, affordable sublimation printer and your video was very helpful! Liked and sub'd!
i have the same one but i turn it into dtf i took the exit wheels of my question is can i still turn it into sublimation after i put sub ink? thank you
So I was going to convert mine to DTF and I took my rollers out. Do you know if I can still do sublimation without the rollers things they’re not a replaceable part in order for me to do that I would have to go 58 miles to New York and have them replace it.
hii i was woundering can you use a uv ink with this epson printer ?? can you also use polyester plastic to printe with this printer to ? have you even tryied the cannon prograft1500 printer its a wide format destop printer to
PLEASE HELP! I just bought this printer n everything is printing out perfect. But when I go to press it. The black doesn’t sub!😢 I bought the hippo 6color sub ink
I recently purchased and set up this printer and when pulling off tape, 2 dark yellow things came out of the paper drawers. I couldn't find anything about them anywhere but I see them in your video, what are they and where should they be installed?

@@AngelBDesigns but I thought the F170 was also a wide format printer? I’m only asking because I love it 8550 and the more I discovered of all that you can do especially printing from the back printing on poster board.

Could you see if the printer would do a 13 inch x 23 inch print under custom size. If it does it I will buy this printer. I would greatly appreciate it. thx
Great as always. I want a wide format printer for sublimation and am torn between the SG1000, ET15000 or ET8550. Your print came out amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations that an big investment. I wish they would make a printer like this so you don't have to convert it then loose your warranty. It came out nice. Do you like sublimation or dtf?
They do its a sawgrass and its an actual sublimation printer for about 575.00 on swing design amazing colors as well and they also do payment plan for it
Wow it looks great I'm going to have to get another Epson I have the same printed that I love but I do posters and flyers for my recording studio but I'ma have to get one to do just supplementation to do some logo shirts and stuff for my stuff thanks so much for the video
I just bought an Epson but will just split the screen to make prints bigger. I refuse to invest in something expensive that I won't be using all the time. I got the Epson 2800. Much lighter and less expensive. I love your shirt.
I bought the same printer the other day , and put the same sublimation ink, yet when im trying todo DTF printing doesn’t print black. Have you tried Dtf printing?
Hi: sorry if I bothered you. Since you have made this tutorial about the Epson ET8550 sublimation printer, I am About to buy one for the same kind of job I would like to know if is it true that I should leave the printer "ON" forever because every time I turn it off and then back ON it does a cleaning cycle that wastes a lot of ink?

Great info!!
I am about to buy the Epson ET 8850!! I just need to click the buy button 😅
I whole heartedly feel this! I had to buy one today because I couldn’t justify buying the same one I had because it quit printing blue
I purchased an 8550. What are the settings for vivid colors? Do I need to install an ICC profile for the ink? My colors are not bright.
did you ever figure it out?
Did you run into any problems not filling the photo black and grey ink tanks?
Just purchased one waiting for it to be delivered- very informative 😊 31:54
Thanks for watching ❤️
Been watching. So much to learn. Just received my first Epson et-8550 and first heat press
how did things work out for you? Im in the process of learning myself
just so you know your warranty is voided once you put sublimation ink inside.
Someone did a video on reconverting a sublimation printer back to a regular printer. It’s on you tube. He doesn’t recommend flushing but recommends using all the ink and replacing with regular ink without flushing. He says as you refill with regular ink, the print comes out normal
I will definitely check that out. Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much you made my process soooo easy. I'm really a hands on type of person.
did you leave the photo black and grey tanks empty? or did you fill those tanks with other sub ink?
omg what a great tutorial! I watched because I just got introduced to this printer and wanted to know how it worked when turned into a sub printer. I'm sold!! But can I make smaller sizes as well on this?

Thank you for this video! I was wondering if this printer can be converted.
What do you have your press sitting on? That drawer caught my eye!
Did you just put sublimation ink inside the original tank or did you have to switch anything for it to be sublimation?
nice..how many washes until it fades?
So I was going to convert mine to DTF and I took my rollers out. Do you know if I can still do sublimation without the rollers things they’re not a replaceable part in order for me to do that I would have to go 58 miles to New York and have them replace it.
What program or how did you create that design with an image of a person, etc.?
thank you so much for the information. i just got my eco tank. what website do you use for graphic designs?
How did you fix those color lines on the black area in the image? Having the same issue & can’t fix….
Do you have to keep the white ink circulating so it doesn’t hardened? If so, how do you do that?

Can I ask why u chose that heat press I have both as well I seen the one u had back there the hrvfront one. Just curious

I would just because you can’t control it.
does the color last after wash, and can you put this on black shirts

When you decided to choose your wide format printer ... why did you lean towards ET-8550 instead of ET-15000?

i chose the 8550 due to the wide format and the photo coloring.
Because the 8550 is meant to be a photo printer the 15000 is not… the 8550 use six inks the 15000 uses 4

Can you please post your silhouette settings? I cannot for the life of me get my images to print larger than the 8.5x11.
Do you have a wide format printer?
Yes i do and I have the Business Edition. Do I need to select Printer from the media size from the page setup? I’ve done this in the past.
I’m new to this 😬 so why do you have to convert the printer?
Hello I hope you can help me. I believe I mixed my BK and PB up and now I get blank pages, can you advice please.
I have the 8550, originally I wanted the f170 but learned that the 8550 was coming as a gift. What made you go from the 170 to the 8550?
I do still have both for different reasons. The f170 is smaller so when I have smaller projects I use that. The 8550 is wide format

No the f170 is not wide format. The f570 is.

how would you recommend sublimating onto cotton?
Bonjour, peut-on imprimer avec l'encre d'origine ou faut t'il des bouteilles d'encre spéciales ?
question how do you print bigger images using the f170
You can only print up to 8.5x14. The F170 is not a wide format printer
@@AngelBDesigns what dp I use to make big print in software
I was wondering on this printer do you know if it also does sublimation DTF? Because I was considering this printer.
Which mode type do you use to print?
Please let us no if this printer leaves pizza roll marks’ when doing DTF printing and congrats on new printer
Can I switch the 8500 instead ?
Can you please tell me how long you pressed the shirt for and at what temperature please?
I believe she said 50 seconds at 400. May wanna double check tho that’s what I heard
How do you like this printer for sublimation
does it fade over time and bleed in washes?
Could you see if the printer would do a 13 inch x 23 inch print under custom size. If it does it I will buy this printer. I would greatly appreciate it. thx
you should be able to, because it can print gang sheets...roll

Sublimation ink. Hiipoo sells it in those colors
What happens if you put the wrong color in the tank?
Which profile to use for vivid color sublimation. ?

Hello ,
I have a big problem I need help . I print my first print sub but ink black doesn't work.

Thanks for sharing… did the second print take the lines away in the black? Or did you have to do something extra? Thank you!!!!
The second print looked pretty much the same.
How do the prints come out on black shirts?
sublimation is done on white or light colors because the ink is transparent
The colors are really popping!! What color profile do you use?
