FINALLY! Just a short simple easy step by step on what to click and where to click! Thank you so much!
Definitely with you there Thanks
I’m ready! Just got mine yesterday! Will be setting up some time this week!! Thank you!
I just followed your directions for printer set-up. Just want to say thank you for being so thorough.
Move the regular ink to Dixie cups and add the sublimation ink to the Epson bottles. Hippo or Big Boy sublimation inks are best
Thank you great tips 😊
Thank you ❤ I just got this printer. I love the information on getting the best print quality.

Thank you so much, we have a sawgrass printer hate the cost of the ink, and after the software update can't use any other ink, I was researching epson printers and you just confirmed the purchase for me, we'll be selling the sawgrass after we get the epson, thank you again

@@farawannaalanis9311 happy that the info saved you money😁‼
Same with Amazon
Hi thanks for the video. Can I ask which heat press you use ?
Thank you!
Thank you! ❤
AWESOME
❤❤❤❤❤❤you are amazing
Hi thank you for the extremely informative videos ❤ …
Which Epson eco tank is best for sublimation? I already have one and someone told me it’s very risky converting the one that I have because it already has ink in it. I can purchase another one just want to make sure it’s compatible with sublimation ink.
Thanks
Thank you 😊
Hmm, I don't have those setting options. Thank you for the video.
So helpful thank you and have you had to alter any of your settings from when you made this video 😊
When I print people I leave everything to standard
what heat press do you use for shirts? Do you use a heat press for hats?
Thank you for this!
Can I ask why you only use a cord and never Bluetooth? Is it a personal choice or is there a difference in quality?
Hi Sharena. Great Video. Awesome Job. Question: What printer settings do you use for your regular Epson Ecotank printer? Thank you. ❤😊
Yeah im glad I brought a different ink. I dont have time for the needle ink lol
The way u set this up I can make prints for cups also
Can I go back and forth between sublimation and normal printing? Would I need to buy an extra ink tank?
I don’t have those settings on my laptop , will I need to get a newer laptop
Thank your for doing this! Have you been happy with this printer?
Hey just a question what’s the difference between inks
I trying 😊
Does it have a replaceable maintenance ink pad box?
I have the 4850 your setting are awesome only problem is my black is overpowering I use printers jack ink any tip to get it less overpowering?
Try using the adobe and the gamma 2.2 without changing the color wheel settings at the bottom and see if that helps?
I heard hiipoo ink is amazing that's what I'm going to order.. but I'm about to order mine now I'm nervous and excited all at the same time
Thank you
So you are not using the icc profile that came with the sublimation ink?
Where did u get the usb cord for the printer
Did you use regular printer paper for your test sheets or sub paper?
Regular printer paper for the printer set up
Hiii Sharena🎉I am brand new to crafting. I purchased this exact machine and the Hippo brand ink, what all can I make with this? Please🌞 oh, I also purchased a Procolored dtf printer...is that machine for printing dtf transfers I get through Creative fabrica? Please🩷⚘️🐦Thank you, much!
Thank you so much I’m trying to get started and find the best sublimation printer, what is the difference with the 2803 and the 4800 and which one do you recommend
They are the same in my opinion the 4800 has a fax machine the 4800 has more if you are using it as an actual printer for paperwork and things like that but as far as for sublimation they are the same
@@sharenalatrese408 thank you , I’m getting a 2803 today
Can I print other things like stickers, photos or even scanning or photocopy?
Since the printer is converted or it’s only sublimation?
I would use it only for sublimation if your printer is converted
Great Video - great smooth explanation. Question, is this application for polyester fabric material only? Thx
Yes polyester only for fabric I would say anything with 50% or more polyester anything that’s says recycled polyester doesn’t last long and also you can look up other sublimation items on Amazon like key chains, cups, etc
@@sharenalatrese408 question. When I print faces out the look orange after pressing can you help me understand why, or tell me what to do?! Pleaseee!
@@mayamason3055 what are your settings on? If you used the settings I gave you you shouldn’t have this problem. Also what kind of heat press are you using and the settings?
I set my heat press at 400 for 45/50 seconds when sublimating tshirts.
@@sharenalatrese408 Thank you and Happy New Year
I need to see the process. What program did you print from? How do you get this quality from a Mac computer? how do I transfer the image? how long . What heat temp?
Hey check out some of my videos on sublimation I have all those answers for you it depends on your projects
Question? Why do you use the printer chord instead of Bluetooth? Bluetooth for me is so convenient
😂😂😂 I have no idea I’m old fashioned
Hi how are you? Your setting for paper is not available on my windows 11 it's either Epson matte or premium glossy or premium semi gloss can you advise please and thanks for the videos I'm just starting my sublimation life
If that’s all you have I would use Epson matte
Brava
Do I have to register my printer? It will not take my serial number
When u are testing your ink are u using the sublimation paper or just regular paper
Regular paper
I have a question. Can it print 4" x 6" photo paper?
Also is the color correction for all printers or only this kind of printer?
Should be all it may look different but they should have the same options
Do you have to charge ink every time you add new ink or is that a one time process?
One time
How do I slow down the printing? It has it printing fast but not sure how to change that setting.
Under your print preferences click main options and turn your “biodirectional printing” button off.
I'm unable to find the color management on my ET4800. It's not like yours in the video. Any suggestions?
What kind of computer are you using! A lot of people who has a Chromebook run into this issue?
If I don’t set up step 2 would I still be able to use it from my iPad?
I use this color correction only for sublimation. Anything else I print regular.
Thanks you, girl I’m getting crazy trying figure out how to fix my print 🫶🏻
I have a Mac. any tips for getting the best color prints with Mac?
Sorry I work with an hp computer 😬
I need more help :(. My head alignment is not working. And on printer preferences I don’t get all of these options 😢
What computer are you working from? Try doing a power clean, then reset your printer back to default settings under the MAINTENANCE option on your printer then start the process over.
How many uses of the ink do you get before you have to buy more ink? I'm thinking of printing custom tumblers.
It took me about a year but it just depends on the amount of projects you make.
Thank you, were you printing your own projects or making custom orders?@@sharenalatrese408
New to your channel like the video, I tried converting a new eco tank printer had it two weeks it started leaking the black only I couldn’t even fill the tanks up I had to throw it away Epson would not do anything they said I void the warranty I guess it messed up the ink heads what ever that means
OMG I would have been beyond upset
I can't find any of these settings on my computer. Can I ask what system or computer you're using?
I have a hp running off latest windows
I have an ET-4800 and some things print fine, and others the colors are wrong. Specifically, sometimes teal/green comes out as blue. I tried to do some watermelons the other day, and they were all blue.... I could not figure out how to fix it. Thoughts?
This happens depending on the brand ink and paper combo if it’s not printing right I would keep your settings at the standard settings
I just got the 4800...do you have to have a computer or can I use my ipad?
You can use ur iPad with the Bluetooth settings
I have the 4800 .. to change the settings of the printer in the mac , would they be the same steps . Does anyone know or have done it
Im Sorry I cant help with a Mac. I work with a HP
Somehow I didn't set my up correctly. Can I go back and set it up? It works but with lines in it.
Try doing a power clean and see if that’s helps you can reset printer under maintenance settings
I need help! I purchased the ET4800, set everything up with Hiipoo sublimation ink and printed my first image. The color was brilliant! I set the heat press to 400 degrees for 90 seconds. I pressed the image onto 100% polyester fabric. The image was extremely faint. The ink did not transfer as it should. (not new to sublimation, I had an ET2740 and had no problems until the printer went kaput!). What in the world could be happening?
That is way to high and way too long. Try 400 for 40-60 seconds or 380/385 for 60 seconds. Check out a few of my sublimation videos that also may help.
Can I use a different ecotank besides this model?
yes as long as it is a eco tank
Does this printer have a paper tray? I can't seem to find ANYONE or any photo showing it. I can't see how people are loading the printer.
Yes it loads from the back
Can we use sublimation paper on cotton tshirts?
It will wash out if you don’t use a sublimation barrier before you put your sublimation image on the shirt.
Hello, what happens if you initially used the ink that came with the printer. Then decide to change it to a sublimation?
I've seen articles that say that is near a waste of time it's so difficult to change back if that helps
Your right thanks for answering
I honestly would waste any time doing this haven’t heard anything good about this.
I think you would have to change the heads and the tanks if possible. If not,you use an external tank system meaning you'll have to buy the extra tubes into the machine heads.
I just bought a second hand epson evotank printer and it had its original inks init. Can I remove it and drains the printer and than put the sublimation ink init?
I’m wondering too!
@@amandagriebenow2992 hi, I actually did drain the original ink and washed up the cartridge and reinjected it with sub ink
Great reply 👍🏾
I don't have those printer settings. I have just the basic ones. Any suggestions? I have windows 11
Try going under the main computer settings and going under Bluetooth and devices then choose your printer and see if it can be changed there.
I followed all of your steps and i had to print 3 different pages and it is still missing some segments. Do you know how to fix this?
Try doing a power clean. The printer has a power clean option as well.
What if I already do filled the dang things with the regular ink. Can you empty the ink already poured into the printer? 😭
Yes, you can use a syringe to remove the ink you don't want, or you can remove the ink tanks as a whole and clean them out.
How do I convert my Epson 4800 if I already put the ink that came with the printer in?
You can’t 😕
I would remove the ink tanks and clean them out and then refill with sublimation ink.
I followed the printer preferences exactly like this but my image did not print mirrored like it should have. And it was nowhere near as vibrant as yours. Any idea why? I'm brand new to this! :(
It’s not as vibrant until you press it on a shirt even hers looked a little dull coming out of the printer
It could be the ink your using Inks differ also there is a mirror image tab right under the bio directional tab under more options
How do you setup borderless printing?? I can NOT solve this issue!
I followed your tutorial step by step no issue and it’s still showing white lines on my paper when I go to print, and after as well
What do you mean by white lines? It’s gonna print a white border around your image. If you want to maximize the size of your photo use the software silhouette studio for your prints. My latest video shows how to do so.
I have a et4800 using sublimation ink and paper. my prints come out just fine. when using dtf film my prints come out with lines through the image. does anybody know what can be causing this to happen?
From what I have heard not really sure because I’m not on the dtf level yet lol but I have seen people tape their dtf sheet to a plain sheet of paper I have also seen people actually remove the wheels on the inside of the printer to also prevent this from happening
@@sharenalatrese408 I tried removing wheels that was a fail and smudged the print even more lol.
Somebody tell me....I didn't see her applying the white powder and melting it before transferring the image to the clothe. Am new to this subject
I'm using the same printer same a-sub ink and paper but still it doesn't transfer... Please help
what kind of material are you trying to sublimate on.
Can you covert it to normal printing?
Not sure what you mean?
@@sharenalatrese408 if the printer is converted to sublimation can I ever be used for normal page printing using manufacturer ink?
Yes you can remove the ink with a syringe and also remove the ink tanks as well to clean and replace ink with whatever ink you would like.
@@sharenalatrese408 thank you 😊
Why not use up the ink it came with then switch to 3rd party ink. ???
Because they aren’t the same ink 3rd party ink for the sublimation process
Mine will not print correctly still i even switched inks
Called epson no warranty and no idea why green is blue. So new printer it is i guess def not epson
So I can still use the printer to printer regular stuff like resumes, etc?
No
@@dianasmith8578 Thanks
I wouldn’t
Could have dumped that epson ink down the drain cleaned and dried then filled bottles with sublimation ink and avoided those syringes
Yes but I also have a epson 2800 that I use so I saved the ink for my second printer but yes if you only have one Eco tank for sublimation and don’t need the ink this would work
@sharenalatrese408 if you use Starcraft ink, they have the epson style bottles to avoid the whole process just a thought
@@CadGuy619 thank you I will look into that brand when I get ready to refill it was sort of a pain 😂
