Okay for a beginner, I guess

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.

Best Craft Buy This Year!

The Brother sublimation printer is amazing! My sister and I have given it a thorough workout over the last month creating designs to sublimate on mugs, earrings, coasters, tumblers, shirts, bags, wind spinners and so much more! We’ve crated designs for poly coated items, polyester blend fabrics, and printed on Siser Easysubli for cotton shirts and sweatshirts. Combined with my Brother ScanNCut 225x it’s been amazing. All of this has been done with the original ink cartridges that came with the printer, and they are still over half full.

Love my Brothers sublimation printer

I'm in love with the brother sublimation printer 1 because you do not have to turn it into a sublimation printer because that's what it is. 2 the ink last I've done alot of printing and still have a lot of ink. 3 the colors are vibrant when I transfer them over to a sublimation blank . And it's fast to print .

Fantastic machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been wanting one of these for years but never pulled the trigger due to price. I’m super excited about all of the projects I can do now and the things I can make. I just have to make sure to buy things that are capable of being sublimated, so that’s the only hang up.

Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this printer! Before getting this, I was using a converted printer not made for sublimation. It was fine but once I started using the Brother, it was so much better! I love that it automaticly mirrors the images and I didn’t have to set it up or remember to do that when I print. And the colors are so vibrant—much better than the last printer I used. I have printed and pressed on wood, fabric and ceramic and I am very pleased with the colors and results. I feel that it has a great price point compared to other sublimation printers as well.

It does whats promised

I was new to sublimation and when shopping for a printer I read all the reviews and watched many hours of info. For what I needed the Brother SP1 was going to be the one and I have not been sorry about the purchase. Its easy to set up and use. The best is that its self cleaning, as I was concerned about not being able to use it daily, or even weekly. The only draw back is the cost of the ink, therefore the 4 stars instead of 5. I would also had like to have had a choice of a wide format printer as well allowing for a larger print area.

Good printer with a few flaws

This printer is good for the most part for sublimation. I would say its' only drawback is that you cannot change the setting from regular to best unless you use the artspira app which is buggy to say the least and is not very user friendly. I use the printer strictly with my cricut so I am often disappointed by not being able to chose the "best" color setting. The ink does last a good long time though.

I have problems but haven't given up.

I was so excited to get the printer and was ready to see what I can create but since I have had it, it hasn't been fun or useful for now. First i couldn't get it to connect to my computer wireless so I had to go wired. The next problem was connecting my phone and tablet. My phone worked a few times then stopped working. My tablet(s) couldn't connect and no support (apps,online)

What a gem!!

My husband and I are so impressed with this brother printer so easy to set up ,no learning curve which is something we always look for when we buy any new equipment for our crafting side hustle would definitely recommend for sublimation printing for small business.
