- Hey friends! Here’s the video I promised you last week.
So far, this printer has been so amazing. The quality of each print is top notch. I’m so excited to start adding merchandise to my shop with the help of this big beauty- Epson SureColor T3170
Printing on 5 types of paper. Below I have pasted the links for the rolls I used in this video.
Please note, I disliked the “printable vinyl/sticker paper roll very much because of its flimsiness, but I believe that it can be fixed by adding a self adhesive laminating sheet… just my honest opinion. So purchase at your own risk- you’ve been warned. Lol 😆
Rolls:
20 lbs plotter paper - amzn.to/421qiGH
🛑 Printable vinyl paper - amzn.to/3tQEdCP
White polyester canvas - amzn.to/41V2KU0
Poster board paper - purchased at Staples
Plain printer paper - amzn.to/3RV1jQY

I just purchased the same printer and came across you videos. They're the best videos for this machine - thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Such a great video!!
Thank you!!! 😊
Great Video. Do you know if you can use 17" wide rolls.
Yes, absolutely! It can be adjusted to fit a 17” roll 👍🏽
Can you please share the links for all the papers in this video. Thank you
Hey! All the links for the papers used in this video are in the description box. Thanks
I bought this printer to make magnetic car signs. I read and understood that it could accept the weight of the magnetic vinyl I will be using. Do you have any input on this?
Oooo! Interesting idea. Never heard of it printing on magnetic paper! How thick would that be? I know that I can print on 300gsm paper which is pretty thick cardstock- but my only concern would be the print finish on the glossy side. Since this printer is Inkjet. When I printed on poster board paper, the paper had a slight gloss/wax feel to it which caused the print to come out slightly wet. But I set it aside and let it dry, and problem solved. Now, how big are you looking to make the car signs? Because if anything, you can always go the sublimation route. They have an F series that strictly for sublimation and it goes up to 24” wide… but that’s something you may have to really think about. It’s pretty simple to sublimate onto magnetic sheets- but you’ll then Have to worry about buying a bigger heat press machine which equals more money- which is probably the opposite of what you want to do. Lol I’d do more research. But that is a brilliant idea!! I’ve heard UV printers are pretty great with printing on anything- including acrylic sheets, glass, plastic, etc. DEFINITELY HOLD ON TO THAT IDEA, it’s a great one.
If I'm printing from silhoutte as a print n cut or cricut can I use this printer for them n if I had a wide cutter ?
Yep! I printed a 24” x 15 sticker on this printer and I used my Silhouette Cameo 4 pro (24”) to cut it out. It prints the registration marks without an issue. 🌸 I just set my work area or cutting mat to 24” x 24” on my silhouette studio software.
Hi,
What is the the thickest paper you can run through this without any issues?
The maximum weight I’ve printed is 300 gsm
Hello. Such an amazing video. Do you know if it can print on wax paper? Also known as grease-proof paper? It's a food wrap paper
Thanks! Great question. I’m 50/50 on that one because firstly, I’ve never tried it and secondly, grease proof paper, which contains some wax- may not hold the ink too well. But!!!!!! Maybe try taping a piece of wax paper to regular printing paper, try printing and allow it some time to dry. Maybe that’ll work. I can try it here and let you know how it goes!
Do you think this printer can handle printing on scrim vinyl? I’m looking for a printer to print retractable banners
Yep!! It can. They actually sell scrim vinyl rolls for these printers. FastPlot Outdoor Scrim Vinyl Banner- Waterproof 15 mil 400g - 24inch x 60ft Roll - 2inch core
@@TheFreckledCraftsStudio welp that just sealed the deal for me I’m buying it❤️❤️❤️
When you print the large sticker, it cuts around the words ?? Thanks.
No. I used my 24” silhouette vinyl cutter to cut that shape. But that would be cool if it could do that 😆
@@TheFreckledCraftsStudio I didn’t know the silhouette have that big size cutter I have the regular cricut, no the venture …. Thanks for answering me
You’re very welcome ☺️ It’s called the Silhouette Cameo Pro
what kind of cutter do you have, and can you make a video of cutting something that you've printed? (like you talked about in this video but didn't show) thanks!
The cutter is built into the printer. Theres no separate cutter. Prior to printing, you can check the “auto cut” box to have the printer cut after printing.
In other words will this print the registration marks ?
Yes! Without a problem! 😎
Question: I did not set up my new printer using wireless printing, I am using the USB connection, if it matters. When I switch from roller paper to (example) 11X17, and then go to print my document, do I have to change the settings on the printer touch screen, or does it read it automatically when I hit print?
Yes. The paper settings should be changed on the touch screen as well.
@@TheFreckledCraftsStudioThank you for your quick response!
May I ask the max thickness gsm or lb weight this printer can take please?
I responded on your other comment, take a look. 🌸
Hi, does the print get damaged by water like a regular ink jet print? Great video, by the way
Thanks friend! & Yep, it does. To protect your print, laminating it would be the way. What are you making?
@TheFreckledCraftsStudio I'm interested in making posters & and printing pictures on canvas, but I'm considering this printer or an eco solvent printer. I just love the quality of Epson printers
@@alvarohernandezEVO Nice. Yea, as for quality with this printer, SUPERB! Great quality on canvas, as you saw in the video. Sticker paper, scrim vinyl, poster paper, and a couple more. I love it. Hope you find what you’re looking for. 😊👍🏽
Thank you! Keep it up, you're doing a good job
You’re very welcome! & thank you, I truly appreciate that 🌸
