    I use the same ET 4800 and i use the Asub paper and my prints come out just fine. when i try and print with DTF paper my prints come out with pizza wheel marks. i have tried to mess with the settings and still same results. anybody know a fix for this or a good setting to stop the wheel marks?

    Happy Subbing & thank you again for your help! Stay humble beautiful!! ❤️💕

    If you leave the silver seal on the ink and poke the edge with the needle, you can lay the ink on its side slightly elevated to extract the ink mess free by inserting the needle, using syringe as normal. I then used masking tape to tape the needle and syringe to the bottle of unused ink and put the cap back on the needle so I don't mix the needles up. In manage printer you can also rename it Sublimation Printer or something so you know it has special ink and not to confuse with another printer.

    I'm not sure if I installed my printer correctly, I say this as I can't find the section in manage settings where I choose the paper settings. What I did was I linked my printer to my laptop via wifi? Was that incorrect? I do not javelin a cromebook only a Lenovo but of course I have and use crome as my browser. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    • @KraftingWithKandace
      @KraftingWithKandace  Před 2 lety

      Imma gonna level with you here, I just override the printer by hitting "ok" to proceed "with paper loaded in back of printer" I just do that each time I print. Which works because I don't keep paper loaded, that way noone can accidentally print to the wrong printer and waste my materials 😅

    I just discovered your video and love the way you explain things! I just bought a used Epsen 4800 for a great price and it's in perfect condition. the guy we bought it from explained almost everything the same way you did. My husband and I are just starting our sublimation journey. The one question I have is, there is ink in the tanks from when we bought it and we want to top it off. Is there a special way to do this or should we just fill the syringe half way? Any help is appreciated!

No matter what I do... the stopper on the syringe (what keeps it sealed when tipped over to fill)...KEEPS leaking EVERYWHERE! I tried the other color bottles and a different syringe and it just keeps leaking EVERYWHERE when tipped! (2 other people tried with me and it still leaked)

    Do you like the size of prints you get? I see this one prints 8.5 x 11. I have seen many people getting sub printers that do 15 x 17. Would you say the 8.5 x 11 is large enough? Thank you. Thinking of getting one and can’t decide.

    • @KraftingWithKandace
      @KraftingWithKandace  Před 2 lety

      So far, this size has worked well for me. If I need a larger size, I will have to cut/puzzle them together. I will say, if you plan to do tshirts, you may want a printer that prints larger sizes, to say yourself some work. I, however, don't have plans to to many shirts. This printer it capable of printing longer paper! I've used legal sized paper in it, but I do believe it can do even longer than that. However, 8.5 is the widest it can go. I hope that is helpful! 💗

    • @KraftingWithKandace
      @KraftingWithKandace  Před 2 lety

      Hey! It is called micro piezo heat-free technology!
      "This does not require heat in the ink ejection process. Instead, pressure is applied to the Piezo element, which flexes backwards and forwards firing the ink from the printhead." It is important because you don't want the ink to receive heat until it is being pressed. 💗

      I'm happy to hear this is helpful! From the research I did, it is my understanding that they lost the most popular ecotank printers in the title, but most of the sublimation inks will say somewhere in the description "works with all ecotank printers". The 4800 is a newer version so it isn't listed many places yet. I can't promise that is 100% true, but just what I have found. I can tell you I have had no issues with the sublimation ink I purchased! It is linked in the description if you wanted to check it out.

    • @KraftingWithKandace
      @KraftingWithKandace  Před rokem

      You cannot. Full technically if you really needed to print something for a temporary print you could. However, sublimation ink is not made for everyday printing news and it will diminish over time, and always look faded, and subject to smudging, until pressed. Sorry, dear!

    • @KraftingWithKandace
      @KraftingWithKandace  Před 2 lety

      Sorry about my delay! I was on vacation! Unfortunately, once you convert the printed to sublimation, it can no longer be used to typical use. They strongly suggest not switching the inks back and forth because they will get contaminated, and you would have to learn how to flush the entire printer to clear the previous ink. The sublimation ink is not meant to last long term, but i have used it a few times, in a pinch, for a couple things that I just need printed that I knew would be thrown away soon. The printed image is also very dull because the "true" colors don't show up until they are heat released by the press! I hope this is helpful! Happy to answer any other questions you may have!

      Though different inks may give you different instructions (see the paperwork that comes with the ink you purchase) there is a setting you need to make to give you beautiful colors! If you are sure, you could print on the two different settings and see which works best for you!
      In you printer preferences, go to "more options". In the "Color Correction" section, select "Custom". Hit the "advanced" button. Select "Color Controls" and change the "Color Mode" to "Adobe RGB"! Hit "ok". This makes a HUGE different in the print color and quality!

      @@KraftingWithKandace It had the tanks on the front. I contacted Hiipoo Sublimation, and they told me this printer isn't suitable which I don't understand, it has piezo technology, and it's an eco tank. I didn't know there were so many things to think of when choosing one. I just want a good quality sublimation ink lol

    Does it print A3 format?

      I don't believe it does. I am out of town, so I can't look right now. However, I pretty positive the largest it can print is 8.5"x17"

      I usually get a warning too, but I just press continue and it typically still prints the entire image! Hopefully that happens for you too!
