The Perfect Sublimation Printer

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.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this printer as a gift in exchange for my honest review. This Brother sublimation printer was great! I didn’t want to try a huge project on it as the test run so I did a few smaller things. The printer sets up super easy and has a lovely touch screen display. I wasn’t a huge fan of the paper they sent with it but once I put my own in it did amazingly. I tested it out by making a tumbler for my daughter and putting a little chinchilla she drew on my own test tumbler. The colors came out very nice and it transferred well. I also threw a quick Christmas picture on the back of a shirt and was very pleased with the results and how nicely it transferred to the fabric. Overall this printer was easy to use and the results upon transfer were very nice. I would recommend this printer.

Great purchase!

So glad I got this! Set it up and no calibration tweaking needed. It's been printing great. I bought this when I had to replace my Epson Ecotank that I had converted/hacked into a sublimation printer. It did fine, but you have a lot of little things to mess with. Also, if you don't remember to print a couple of pages every week the heads clog. That's what happened to me and I could not fix it. Bought this Brother and love it because you don't have to mess with anything, just print perfect prints!

Clean the Nozzles and PAy Attention

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.

I love this printer!

This printer is an incredible value. The ink cartridges and paper are also reasonably priced. Make sure you use material that is predominantly polyester or your print will be very dull. Sublimation spray helps a little if using cotton or non-white material.

Love this printer!

I found the get started guide easy to follow and very helpful. I was able to complete the setup in a very short period of time. I was able to do a test print from a Microsoft Word document with so much ease. The printer settings did not have to be adjusted at all. The colors were very vibrant, and I am happy with this purchase. I think the app is probably beneficial to some, but I personally do not like having to do creative things on a phone or having to download yet another app. My preference would be a desktop or online. version. Thankfully, I can still use the printer with the many desktop applications that I have. It appears that there is a scanner function, but I have not seen anything referencing it; I think it would be really cool to do a direct scan and print.

You won’t be disappointed!

This is my first sublimation printer. I decided on this one over any other ones bc it’s strictly for sublimation and you don’t have to convert anything. The printer is fast and the colors are vibrant and spot on. I love that it has the self cleaning as well.
