Like it :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you for letting me experience it. Thanks to it, my daughter got shirts with pictures that she liked. It produces very nice images. I really like the brother brand. I hopes many people will know and use it.

Great sublimation peinter

Perfect sublimation printer for hobbist. I started with an inkjet printer i converted. There were a lot of work arounds. Bought this printer & i am so happy with it!! I sublimate as gifts and a hobby and this works so well. Printing doesnt take hardly any time at all and there are no work arounds. The print quality is excellent as well. I havent accessed the editing tool that comes with it, as i use the cricut software, but it seems very user friendly. If you want to try sublimation, do it! Its easy & the quality is great!

Great Sublimation Printer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been making shirts for over 3 years, and currently had an epson. This Brother Sublimation Printer has exceeded my expectations. The Artspira program is easy to navigate, and the prints print clean. I love the size of this printer, as it doesn’t take up much space!

Great Sublimation Printer

I have been in IT for over 30 years and have always used Brother printers. My wife wanted to get into sublimation printing for her business. In doing a deep dive some specific printers were available for a rather high price and many use ink jet tank printers with available sublimation ink. I always go to support forums to research products as opposed to consumer ratings. I saw several posts on how the ink jet printers if not used consistently clogged. Our use case would be occasional use. I found the SP-1 and ordered it based on it's self maintenance feature. We could not be more pleased. The cartridges last a long time and the colors are fantastic! The printer does auto feed 8.5 x 11 and single sheet feed of 8.5 x 14. I must admit that the occasional use has not been tested as we use this printer daily! If the page size fits your need I would not hesitate buying this printer!

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this printer to replace one I had been using for sublimation purposes. I’m so happy I made the change! This printer is specifically intended for sublimation purposes, and I’ve been very pleased with the crafts I’ve made.

Cute Little Powerhouse

This is a print friendly machine, I am a big fan of Brother, so this was an item I could not wait to own. It was designed to work through the Artspira app. which is very user friendly. I did do a print out, and compared it with an item done on one of the more expensive sublimation printers. I am impressed with Brother. Plus the savings on just buying the ink alone, gets a big yes. I would recommend this product, for anyone starting sublimation, and is a fan of Brother. Thank You Brother you did it again I also enjoy my Print Moda, and my new Skitch

It’s good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank goodness I received this but I have to say that the designs don’t come out at all exactly how you wish they come out. It does better designs in lighter clothes and I love wearing darker clothes than lighter ones. Also, the paper and ink can only be purchased through their website and it’s not economically how you wish.

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.
