[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. This brother sublimation printer gives words to my creativity. As mother of three beautiful daughters who are loves to create something beautiful and colorful, this printer makes us happy every time we print something special on shirts, cups, mugs and tote bags with their names. This printer is not really heavy and not very high so it easily fits on my bookshelf. I was worried that it would be difficult to setup the printer and everytime I need to open my laptop to print, but I was amazed and surprise that it was super easy to setup and connect with my phone using their Artspira app and even I can customize it. There are so many designs and ways to make beautiful designs for shirts and many more things. It comes with fours basic color cartridges and sublimation papers. The guidelines were simple and easy, so it is really user friendly. The colors were very vibrant and same on vibrant color was on over my daughters shirt and cap. I use small heat press machine but soon will purchase big one. There are two modes quality and fast printing. Overall, I am impressed with quality, easy setup options, vibrant colors and not very heavy to my pocket. I recommend this sublimation printer and will soon start my small business using this printer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really enjoying using this sublimation printer for my creative projects. The setup was pretty straightforward, and I love being able to take an idea and turn it into something I can actually use or gift. The prints come out nicely, and the compact size is convenient since it doesn’t take up a ton of space in my workspace. I can already see myself using it for shirts, mugs, and personalized gifts. It’s a really good option for getting started with sublimation and having more creative freedom with my projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves making personalized T-shirts, and the Brother SP-1 sublimation printer has been a great fit! It comes with 4 ink cartridges and sublimation paper so you can dive in right away. The quick start sheet is genuinely easy to follow. Once you downloaded the app and connect to the printer you can create a project and send to the printer wirelessly, which is super convenient. Even though it has a top cover it doesn’t have scanning. So everything is done through your computer or the app. You can use it for way more than shirts too, tote bags, mugs and even certain tiles. Just remember, you will still need a heat press to finish your project, and those come in different price ranges. It’s a fun and beginner friendly printer to do some personalization DIY projects.

The brother sublimation SP-1 printer is outstanding! I highly recommended it for sublimation artwork. It does 8 1/2 x 11 (full page of paper) and also can go up or down fro there! Amazing- I really love this printer it makes artwork pop. I’m so impressed with the color quality. And the most spectacular thing is that you don’t have to shake the ink. It automatically will print once a week a small test to make sure that all the ink doesn’t get clogged!!! Can’t tell you how much fun and easy this printer is to use!!! Well worth the money!!!

This a the best affordable sublimation printer. I did have a paper jam almost 2 yrs of having the machine one time and I called brother it was swap and I am better than ever. Love this machine its printout is beautiful and once its place on the product to be sublimated it is forever beautiful. Thank you Brother.

LOVE THIS PRINTER! It's easy to use, the colors turn out vibrant and beautiful. I couldn't be happier!

This is the best sublimation printer of its size. Needed a quick resolution for a craft fair where I was planning to offer coffee mugs. Vinyl wasn't cutting it, sublimation vinyl certainly wasn't cutting it. And this printer was just what i needed. Prints quickly, colors are fantastic, and refills on ink i can get locally. Plus the ink lasts a really long time. I've made 240 mugs on the ink that came with the printer and still have ink.

The only problem I have with this machine is you have to use it. Not occasionally or once a month, but really use it or you'll have to load it with regular paper and run nozzle tests until it cleans itself up. And the way you find out you need to do that is by getting a bad print on expensive paper. I suggest running a nozzle test BEFORE printing a project if it's been a week or so since using it. Beyond that I have had great success with the output of this printer. The properties and advanced pages actually do something, and advise you if you need a resize before you waste ink and paper. Tip - always check the Mirror Print status before clicking print. It's a feature I really appreciate because I don't have to mirror in whatever graphics program I use, but if you mirror in the program AND the printer you'll get what you don't want. Don't ask me how I know that. I've had nothing but good luck with this printer for sublimation and any problems I've had are down to pilot error.

This is definitely a beginner product. There are no color profiles to work with if you're designing in Adobe Creative Suite. You can only use Brother sublimation paper if you want to get any kind of ink density. It's cheaper than other types of sublimation printers and probably okay if you're not too picky about how rich colors print.

The app doesn't work. It want let me get past setting up a username in the state I'm in. There's no go forward button or anything. And then on my phone it can't even find the internet on none of your printer apps. This is very discouraging
