I found your channel recently when looking up heat press info and I appreciate that you’re honest and get to the point as opposed to drawing things out for 20-30min 😊. Speaking as someone a bit newer, I bought an eco tank and converted it to a sublimation printer but I started having a really difficult time with color; my greens and teals were turning green; fuscia was coming out quite red and pinks were coming out brown/coral. I watched a ton of tutorials, adjusted a bunch of settings and did a lot of trial and error with no luck. I also tried to get into ICC profiles but it got confusing quickly. I ended up getting the Epson sure color f170 (sublimation specific printer) and I’m very happy with my decision for the items I want to make.
I'm really happy to hear you enjoy my videos and find them helpful! 😁😁 I used an Epson WF-1700 (I think that was the model it's been a while) and it worked great for about a year. After that I started to get too many issues with the printing, pizza wheels, and a few other things. That's when I decided to go the dedicated sublimation printer route. Never looked back! It's sooooo much better and easier to have a printer that's made specifically for sublimation. How do you like the Epson? I've heard great things about it!
So far, I love it! I was making a gift and the colors are SO much better and it’s faster, too. I also like that the bottles that came with it can refill it a second time though I’m not so sure about the black as that tank is much larger. From set up to first print was about 20-30 minutes!
Oh I'm sure it's WAAAY faster! And that's awesome it has refillable ink. Honestly, If I had done a bit more research I just might have gone with the Epson instead of the Sawgrass!
Thank you for all this information. I am in the display industry and do lot of large format printing for corrugated displays but was at a loss when it comes to this kind of printing. I have spent a bit of time researching this stuff and have cautiously come across several of your suggested printers not knowing what to look for but your 10 minute video cleared up many unanswered questions. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video and sharing your experience. Subscribing now!
What I want to do is white on black dark purple cotton fabric. Do I have print polyester/cotton fabric? Pillow cases is whatI 'll be printing on. It would be easier on my back. What would be the best and more economical way for me to go?
Thanks neko, I have a Sawgrass 100 and 2 Espon Workforce printers. I'm really intrested in a DTF machine but I don't think I have space for it currently. I have a friend who purchased one and it's huge however, I'll be relocating to a much sizeable space soon. Thanks for posting these videos fam. Peace.
Epson also makes a true sublimation printer… F170 & the F570 & both are ET printers … Basically there’s no need for converting an Epson printer for Sublimation. The F170 is for the standard sublimation printing & the F570 does the larger sublimation printing.
They’ve been out for a while but for some reason they are not advertised as much … I almost converted the ET 2760 until I came across the ET F170 sublimation printer on Epson’s web site… I’ve hadn’t had any issues … there’s only a few TH-camr’s that mention it… if any printer that is converted, it voids the warranty
@@donnierearden8334 dang that's unfortunate they really should put more marketing budget behind it considering the fact everyone converts and they're well aware of that
Hi at 3:13 you show a dragon with a black background when talking about sublimation printing. From my understanding you can't print on black shirts. Is that a mistake showing that shirt or have you found ways around it?
Hey! First off. THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing the time stamp. You made me responding SOOO much easier lol 😅😅 Second, I sublimated on a white garment 🙂 The design just had a lot of black in it. Good question and pointing out though!
Hello. I am starting a new business t shirt printing but I am confused what printer suited for t shirt printing using heat transfer paper. Can you help me?
Of course, I prefer the Uninet White Toner printer listed in the description. It's very versatile and can do lots of different products. But there are many different options to choose from.
Thank you so much for what you do. I am going to take your advise and get an Epson ECO TANK 15000. I am confused about something that you said. You mentioned that the Ink that comes with it can be used for printing on film, and you said that an option was to use Sublimation Ink. Is Sublimation ink the Only Choice of Ink that can be used. Is Sublimation Ink the one that has to be powered? What Inks that can go into the Epson 15000? What Inks require Powder, which require a dryer. BTW, I was very sorry to hear about your experience with DTG printer. The same thing jhappened to me but to the tune of $24.000. Back in 2015 I started an Embroidery Company that went on to be successful, but I made the mistake of going to a trade show, and wound up Leasing a $24,00 doorstop. That was when they first came out, huge mistake. I appreciate you and what you do, I am looking forward to hearing your reply. Also I hear that results can be good or bad depending on the brand of film/paper, any recommendations?
Can you fill the Epson Et with color pigment ink instead of the dye ink it comes with without it clogging or having issues? I know those printers only come with black pigment and the colors are dye based.
Ok, thanks I been using an HP and the ink is costing me so much plus theres always issues with them. Wanted to get away from HP all together but cant seem to find a All Pigment ink injest printer that is not HP. I make t shirts and heatpress transfers but Dye always fades so fast.@@NekoPrints
I own a boutique and I am wanting to start making my own products. I know that DTF is way more versatile than sublimation, however I don't like the thickness of the DTF and I feel like its really hot in the summer. Is there a way to make sure the DTF printer is not "plastic like"?
The best you can do is test out different suppliers. I recommend TKO Sales (you can use my code for a discount NEKOPRINTS) to test out the feel. But ultimately, any and all transfers are going to be felt if the design is big enough. If you have smaller designs with less filling, like a large block design with a lot of gaps and holes in it, then it will be felt less. If it's a solid block print, then it's going to feel thicker due to the size. The softest you're going to get to be honest, is going to be with a DTG printer. But that's a huge investment and you need to make sure it's the right one for you and your business. It didn't work out for me. But it might for you. Honestly, most customers don't mind the feel of DTF. It's just part of the business
how long do the eco tank printer last with the sublim-ink? does the ink do any harm to the printer in the long run? (like, do I have to expect to buy one every year?)
Eco tank printers will vary. Mine lasted a year before I had to upgrade. Some others last more, some less. It's the luck of the draw. I went with a Sawgrass or you can also go with an Epson sure color so you can have the warranty. Check out the link I have in the description for the Sawgrass I use
It would depend on what you want to do exactly. If you want to do heat transfer vinyl, then a silhouette cameo or Siser romeo or Juliette. As for a regular inkjet printer, then you can really use almost any. The links to the cutters are in the description 😊
I wasn't aware of that one thank you! I'll be sure to add that in a future video. The awesome thing about that one is that it can also be converted to DTF

There are desktop sized ones. But then you still need a way to cure powder. I stopped printing DTF because of the fumes. I had headaches all the time
What about THE PRINTER EPSON 8550 ? I WANT TO BUY IT FOR PERSONAL USE
Epson also makes a true sublimation printer… F170 & the F570 & both are ET printers … Basically there’s no need for converting an Epson printer for Sublimation. The F170 is for the standard sublimation printing & the F570 does the larger sublimation printing.
Good point. Totally missed those thank you. Are those recent? Because I just remember coming across the higher priced ones.
They’ve been out for a while but for some reason they are not advertised as much … I almost converted the ET 2760 until I came across the ET F170 sublimation printer on Epson’s web site… I’ve hadn’t had any issues … there’s only a few TH-camr’s that mention it… if any printer that is converted, it voids the warranty

DTF inks require powder. Sublimation won't. The epson eco tank can be converted for DTF or Sublimation. DTF is more complicated though.
Can you fill the Epson Et with color pigment ink instead of the dye ink it comes with without it clogging or having issues? I know those printers only come with black pigment and the colors are dye based.
You mean to convert it to an eco-solvent? From my understanding that ink is too strong for the printer lines and will damage them
Ok, thanks I been using an HP and the ink is costing me so much plus theres always issues with them. Wanted to get away from HP all together but cant seem to find a All Pigment ink injest printer that is not HP. I make t shirts and heatpress transfers but Dye always fades so fast.@@NekoPrints

Thank you for this information it is helpful 🎉
Thanks for watching!
Great video and well spoken 💯
Thank you! Thanks so much for watching
Looking for a home printer but don’t want to take out a loan to do it! Holy!
It really all depends on budget and what you think you'll print most. I started with htv
WHAT ONE WOULD YOU PICK if YOU WERE STARTING OUT?
I love my uninet white toner printer so either that or a vinyl cutter
I have the sawgrass and I hate it 😢
nooo! How come?! I love mine!
Whyyy. I’m looking for a new one and don’t wanna spend a lot of money for it to stop working again 😢
Top 5 decal/waterslide printers?
I'll see what I can find :)
What inkjet printer should i buy for htv printing for heat press t-shirt making? Oh....and im a beginner😊
It would depend on what you want to do exactly. If you want to do heat transfer vinyl, then a silhouette cameo or Siser romeo or Juliette. As for a regular inkjet printer, then you can really use almost any.
The links to the cutters are in the description 😊
You forgot the 8550 it 13x19 but it more inks involved
I wasn't aware of that one thank you! I'll be sure to add that in a future video. The awesome thing about that one is that it can also be converted to DTF
Hello. I'm interested in tee shirt business
Awesome! I hope this video helps you get started.
