Here I am 2 years later watching this awesome video. Thank you Jennifer Maker. I’ve been watching you for years for cricut tutorials. Thank you for the great explanations.
You are AMAZING! I follow you, no not like a stalker, but for all my Cricut projects. You sent the email for Amazon Prime deals and I bought the Epson printer, Hippoo ink and paper. I received everything today and thought, now what? And there you are! Showed me every step of the way! Thanks for all you do!
Jennifer, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this very descriptive video. You are AMAZING that you go the extra mile to showing your audience how to complete a project from start to finish. I greatly APPRECIATE it.
Long Story Short: I had bought a Epson that was NOT an EcoTank! (DUH!) I found a video and substitution empty ink cartridges and a very lengthy (think HARD & TEDIOUS) instruction video. Changed my mind after panicking and ordered an EcoTank -- Thank goodness I found your video -- Watched your video and took notes and going to try this tomorrow. Am new to Cricut and loving it! Hope I'm still loving it with your help here to get me on the road to Sublimation! (Anybody need a brand new Epson printer that's not an EcoTank???? LOL)
You've done a wonderful job! This step by step for setting up an Epson ET is outstanding. Adding the ICC profile info is spot on - you removed the techie fear. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together!
You are AMAZING!! I need you as my BFF! This tutorial was the most thorough & easiest to understand of any video I've ever watched!! I'm so thankful for the extra walk-thru for the ICC. And I loved how you split the screen at one point for Mac and Windows users! you are brilliant!
DITTO ON ALL COMPLIMENTS this video has received. I also probably watched this video 30x while setting up my printer and it was a godsend. There were several moments where things got dicey and I questioned the universe, but it all worked out. Had you not shared your subliflower and how to do the ICS and print settings I would have totally blamed the machine, ink and paper and likely returned it and lost out on some $ and fun crafting! Keep up the amazing work!
I think I must have watched your video over 30 times as I was setting up my whole system (printer, heat press and cricut design space!)! I love all your videos! So informative and step by step! I wish I could keep you in my pocket... oh wait! I can! I've liked and subscribed!
@snowdrop4842 yes! It definitely lasts a good while. You'll have to print something at least once a month to make sure your printer nozzles don't get clogged up.
Jennifer, you are a Sublimation Goddess! It took me alllllll day to set up my Epson 2800, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without you. I had to rewind a gazillion times, but my subliflowers look fantastic! I also set up ICC files. I can't decide which one I like more..the original or the ICC. 🤔 I'm so excited to play now! Thank you thank you thank you!
I tried to do the step but my lines kept coming back broken, and then after the fourth try, it stopped trying to fix it and went to the main page….. what can I do?
I just set up my EcoTank 2800 but the only thing that went wrong is my test page. It looks very very faded and I can only BARELY see any colors. Not at all like what Jennifer printed as a test page. What is wrong?
@Jennifer Maker : Without throwing away the original ink bottles come with the printer, you can actually use them for refilling. They are refillable. So you can clean the bottles (yes, the ink will be a wastage.. 😢) and then refill with the sublimation ink. But, it will be obviously a good first option to give them to someone who needs them, may be as a giveaway or for the cost of 4 new empty refilling bottles which I am sure of a lesser price than the original ink bottles from Epson. I got a great knowledge about dye sublimation process (this is the 2nd video of your series I am watching) and you deserve a subscription. Now you got another subscriber.😊
I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I am so grateful for your content and the way you explain things. I’m a beginner and I was recommended your channel. You’ve put my mind at ease because I’ve chosen to create shirts and different items to help fundraise for my daughter’s liver transplant. Thank you so much. Your videos have been a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.
Thank you Jennifer!!! I purchased the ET-4800 over Prime Days with your link and I just finished setting it up with your help!!! I'm excited to start my sublimination journey!!!
THANK YOU!! I received my ET2803 first of May and finally set it today. I took me awhile to set my printer aligned right. I did your subliflower print and it turned out great. I have your Sublimation Cookbook and looking forward to learning from it and your tutorials. Thank you again!!!!!!!
Wow, you are amazing! Thank you so much for this very thorough and helpful tutorial. I'm a small business owner and I was using POD for printing and just not getting the product quality or unboxing experience I wanted for my customers. So I'm taking it in-house in hopes that I can improve my product quality and customer experience. I just went through all the steps including testing ICC profiles with the subliflower (genius idea, btw!) and I can already tell I'm going to love taking on the creation process. From one Jennifer to another, thank you so much for setting us up for success!
Thank you so much for your patience and your dedication in teaching us so much.. YOU ARE TRULY AWESOME! I have been doing tons of research on sublimation printers, I narrowed it down to 2, and it will either be the sawgrass or epson eco tank, but I am leaning more towards sawgrass.. Thank you again..❤
Thank you so much Jennifer. You helped me so much in my choice as to which printer I want to get. You have taught me so much since I signed on with you and I am learning to try new things every day. Thanks for all your hard work. You are a blessing that so many of us need.
Thank you for asking this. I came to ask the same thing. Sublimation paper is more pricey and if I can use regular paper for the print tests without it messing up my system that is all I need to know
Thank you for such an informative video Jennifer! I instantly said wow after you re-printed using the ICC file! It was like all the colours just fit into place! Hoping you are having a wonderful day/evening!
Hi Jennifer!! My absolutely awesome husband gave me an ET-2800 and a Siser Heat Press for Christmas ( I must've been a really good girl !! ) When setting up my printer settings you mentioned to turn High Speed off, I'm operating from Windows and could not see anywhere to change the print speed. I did go ahead and print a picture and it looks fine, but I want to know for sure if this will make a difference. Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructional videos, THEY ARE A GOD SEND !! I'm looking forward to learning so much more from you, I truly appreciate all of your knowledge, you're an inspiration to us crafters. Many Blessings!!
Thanks so much! Open your printer's preferences screen on the relevant icon in the Devices and Printers section. Turning off high speed can change the quality.
Thank you so much, Jennifer! I bought one model for ink jet and another for sublimation. I'm glad I haven't set up the one for sublimation yet. I love your information and advice
Thank you Jennifer for the video. Even though I use Ubuntu as an OS, now that Epson have a Linux driver for the ET-2800 (mine), following your demo worked perfectly. Question - What ICC profile to use, as the Hiipoo site only has profiles for ET-15000 and ET-4700 with A sub paper, but does have it for my 2800, but with Hiipoo paper ? Quandary !
Just bought the same Epson printer and will be setting it up tomorrow. Your tutorial is amazing! Thank you for all your knowledge that helps us all to be successful!
When I hit install ICC profile nothing happens, and the option does not appear in my list on Photoshop. What am I doing wrong? Sorry for the many questions.
I used the ET 2850 the only options are CIE RGB, e-sRGB, Epson sRGB, Epson Standard RGB, ET-2850, HDTV (Rec.709), PAL/SECAM, ROMM-RGB, SMPTE-C, Wide Gamut RGB.
Hello!👋 😊 Quick question.. When running the setup and alignment, do you have to use your sublimation paper for all that? It seems like a lot of paper waste. As we all know, paper can be pricey. Thanks so much! 😊

I just did my first test on polyester (I'm amazed!) I downloaded the ICC files and did the color conversion. Question: Do you have to convert every time you print, or does that conversion hold for every print? Thanks for another great tutorial!
Hi Jennifer, great and informative tutorials! I have a quick question. When running the tests, do we need to use the A-Sub paper or can we use regular paper. I am just curious because i was hoping not to use up some of the special paper for the tests. I would if it makes a difference on how it prints on the paper for future projects. but I figured I would ask. I looked thru the comments and had not seen the question being asked (yet) ;) TIA
I’m literally setting up the ET. I used laser bright white paper to do all the test pages. Works fine. Obviously, switch over to your sub paper when ready to rock and roll. 🎉❤
I was so confused about which printer to get, I've been looking online for printers but I've been afraid to buy the wrong one. After watching this video, you've helped me make my decision. Since I'm starting my s-Thsirt business I think I'm going for an Epson until I ger more business to move onto a different one, but to start I think the EP ET should be very helpful for me. Thank you for explaining things slowly and easily.
@@JenniferMaker Nobody explained before the process when you buy the printer and convert it to sublimation, so I was confused about the ink to use etc. but now because of you I understand NOT to use the ink it comes with and buy the correct ink and load that one. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Mrs Jennifer for making such understanding and clear videos. It makes understanding how to sublimate so much easier. The one question I have is how are you able to use other colored inks besides the four you put in your printer in this video? I really appreciate the videos that you have done for the sublimation and even how to use the mug press to do mugs with infusible ink.
Do you mean the ink that comes with printer? You can either use it in a different printer used for regular printing or give it to someone who can use it.🥰
@@JenniferMaker no mamm. In the video you did showing how to set up the epsom eco tank printer the 4 colors you put in it were black, a yellow looking color, magenta, and a blue. In another video you did showing how to sublimate a shirt the design you used had red and green along with the yellow and blue. How did you add the red and green to your machine if there’d only 4 spots for ink? The image you used in the video said “it’s not all rainbows and sunshine, but a good amount actually is”.
This was so helpful. I’m so excited that i found your page. I’ve been using drop shipping and am tired of all the fees. I’m going to venture into doing this myself!
thanks for this video, I've had my printer for a while now around six months and for some reason or another I was afraid to use it. Thanks now I can get started
Just set up my Epson 2803 printer with sublimation ink. Finally hours later (and two beers later ha ha!) it appears to be up and running. I did not do the test flower, I don't think I have poly fabric to try. Then the ICC files stuff is where I got totally lost. I do not have a mac I have Windows 11. Not sure where it goes. Suffice it to say that the whole ICC thing just blew over my head. It looks like a good thing I'm sure. I think I will just for now just start the basics with sublimation. My oven is coming today. Maybe later I will figure out the ICC thing. I was an Engineer but I am from the South and we speak a little slower. It just all went too fast. But I love ya and have learned so much.
I'm glad you are diving in and learning! I also have a Sublimation FB Group that I think you could get a wealth of information from as well as ask any questions, facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy ❤️
Hi Jennifer! You are amazing, thank you so much for the video so easy to follow. I have one question on the ICC profiles I didn’t see a ET 4800 can I use the ET 4700 profile ? Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much Jennifer! I find all your videos helpful. This video will help me decide if I want to delve into the sublimation world! Looks like fun!
Hi. Just set up my epson et 8550. I download the file from hiipoo but when I right click, and install profile, nothing happens. How do I know it's there?
Could you do an updated ICC profile install setup with a Mac. I can not get it to work at all. It doesn't seem to matter what program I print from. The ICC never shows up.
This is awesome! I have been sitting here looking at my beautiful new printer for 3 days now finally got the courage to turn it on Thank You!! But mirror image did not show in my printer menu? I have an epson ET-2800
Here is some help from Epson. files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/r1900_/r1900_ug/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Epson&file=print_comp.4.7.html#:~:text=You%20can%20select%20a%20variety,%2C%20turn%20on%20Mirror%20Image.)
When using Photoshop, you need to change the color handling to “Photoshop manages color” and select the ICC profile that she wants to use. The ICC profile is installed on the computer, but, some programs will require you to adjust your settings to find it. 😊🌻
You are so amazing Jennifer , Just a easy question . i am so very new at this Jen , what computer do you prefer the Mac or Windows . i have both but i want to make one just for my work. Thank you for being so so awesome , your voice and slow instructions are so easy for me to understand
HI, a question. Is the material of the inks different from each other. And the filling inks, or are they all the same material, regardless of the colors. In other words, I can fill in all types of printers. Or is there a difference in the density of the material. I hope to find the answer.
Oh my: my eco tank is saying that there’s a problem with the print head nozzles. Any help would be appreciated. Just trying to set it up for sublimation 😢
Good morning, I working on setting up for the best colors. When opening the pdf do I use "labelled" or "unlabelled". I'm working on a surface Pro 8 tablet. TIA
Hi please can you help I’ve got to the part where I download epson support I chose my operating system but under the downloads I do not get the ‘drivers and utilities combo package installer’ so not sure what I am meant to download my epson printer is an ET-2810 and I’m using windows on my laptop
Hi there! It sounds like you're having trouble finding the correct driver and utilities combo package installer for your Epson ET-2810 printer on your Windows laptop. Firstly, ensure that you're visiting the official Epson support website for your region. This will ensure you're getting the correct and most up-to-date drivers and software for your printer model. Once you're on the Epson support website, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the section where you select your operating system. Make sure you choose the correct version of Windows that you're using on your laptop (e.g., Windows 10, Windows 11). 2. After selecting your operating system, you should see a list of available downloads for your printer model. If you don't see the "drivers and utilities combo package installer," it's possible that Epson may have categorized it differently or it might be listed under a different name. 3. Look through the list of available downloads carefully. You're specifically looking for a package that includes both the drivers and utilities for your printer. It may not be explicitly named "drivers and utilities combo package installer," but it should contain everything you need to set up and use your printer. 4. If you're still unable to locate the correct package, you can try searching for it using the search feature on the Epson support website. Use keywords like "combo package installer" or "full feature software" along with your printer model (ET-2810) to narrow down the results. 5. Once you've found the appropriate package, download and install it following the on-screen instructions provided by Epson. This should install all the necessary drivers and utilities for your printer on your Windows laptop. If you're still having trouble finding the right package or encountering any issues during the installation process, don't hesitate to reach out to Epson customer support for further assistance. They should be able to provide you with personalized help to get your printer up and running smoothly. 😊🌻
I love that you did this video. I am a little late to the game. I bought the Hippo ink and a ET-4800 printer. I am a little concerend that the tanks to all of the colored ink. Hopefully sublimation won't take that much. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video.
So glad I found you never done sublimation before and wanted to try it, but nervous. Saw your video on items needed and finally got almost everything, all the big stuff including a mug press. Waiting on my blanks now. Do you have a video on tumblers? Also butcher paper not Teflon material?? I appreciate your advice. I don’t sell, I just make for family, friends, and myself. Hobby for stress relief. So thank you for the tutorial videos. Also any advice on designs where to find and requirements?
I follow all the steps. I download the icc for hiippo dragged it over put my password. Then when I go to photoshop to the drop down menu the hiippo isn’t an option…. What am I doing wrong?

Does the ink last a good while ? I know it'll depend on how much you use it, but do you feel you're often refilling?
@snowdrop4842 yes! It definitely lasts a good while. You'll have to print something at least once a month to make sure your printer nozzles don't get clogged up.

I was thinking same, but maybe for maybe 1st test might be a good idea to make sure you know what direction it feeds paper 😂

That printed flower is beautiful 😍
Can’t wait to print mine to see if it comes out pretty like yours
Good luck!! 🌻💗

31:55 💰 Epson EcoTank offers cost-effective sublimation printing but may require manual setup and lacks official support post-conversion.
I just did my first test on polyester (I'm amazed!) I downloaded the ICC files and did the color conversion. Question: Do you have to convert every time you print, or does that conversion hold for every print?
Thanks for another great tutorial!
It should save it but double check it if it is turned off.
thank you jennifer! its also great coming back to your video when i need some help. i been in your fan group since 2021 and i still love it.
Thanks so much! ❤️
Hi Jennifer, great and informative tutorials! I have a quick question. When running the tests, do we need to use the A-Sub paper or can we use regular paper. I am just curious because i was hoping not to use up some of the special paper for the tests. I would if it makes a difference on how it prints on the paper for future projects. but I figured I would ask. I looked thru the comments and had not seen the question being asked (yet) ;) TIA
Yes you cn use regular paper to test. The color may look a little different but not too much.
This was by far the best explanation of setting up for dye sub that I've seen. Kudos!
Thank you!
I like such videos; and those persons, who step by step, explain every detail, with every possible mistake.
Thank you very much, for this great job.
You are very welcome!
Thank you so much for your concise, detailed instructions. I could have never figured out this process without this!
You are so welcome🥰
I’m literally setting up the ET. I used laser bright white paper to do all the test pages. Works fine. Obviously, switch over to your sub paper when ready to rock and roll. 🎉❤
What model did you get? I’m thinking about getting one soon!
2850 from Costco. Great deal to start
Omg!!! Where have you been? After looking at your video I feel more confident and taking my printer out the box now!!😂😂😂 Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome! Glad you are here! 😃
Thank you so much for the video!! You explain everything so well!
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
The espon eco tank is only to do projects on shirt or can I also use on ceramic mugs.
You can sublimate all kinds of things, including mugs!
Thank you for going into depth on how to do each and every step.
You are so welcome!🥰
I was so confused about which printer to get, I've been looking online for printers but I've been afraid to buy the wrong one. After watching this video, you've helped me make my decision. Since I'm starting my s-Thsirt business I think I'm going for an Epson until I ger more business to move onto a different one, but to start I think the EP ET should be very helpful for me. Thank you for explaining things slowly and easily.
I'm so happy it made the decision easier for you!!🥰
@@JenniferMaker Nobody explained before the process when you buy the printer and convert it to sublimation, so I was confused about the ink to use etc. but now because of you I understand NOT to use the ink it comes with and buy the correct ink and load that one. Thank you so much.
Wow! My first visit with you and your channel. Super through and very calming too...just my kind of vibe! Thank you for your time and Awesomeness!~
You are so welcome! Thank you so much!
You rock! I am looking to get a setup for my students... and this makes it so much more affordable!
It does make it more affordable. Thanks! 😊
Is this the same for setting up from mobile devices
Thank you, Mrs Jennifer for making such understanding and clear videos. It makes understanding how to sublimate so much easier. The one question I have is how are you able to use other colored inks besides the four you put in your printer in this video? I really appreciate the videos that you have done for the sublimation and even how to use the mug press to do mugs with infusible ink.
Do you mean the ink that comes with printer? You can either use it in a different printer used for regular printing or give it to someone who can use it.🥰
@@JenniferMaker no mamm. In the video you did showing how to set up the epsom eco tank printer the 4 colors you put in it were black, a yellow looking color, magenta, and a blue. In another video you did showing how to sublimate a shirt the design you used had red and green along with the yellow and blue. How did you add the red and green to your machine if there’d only 4 spots for ink? The image you used in the video said “it’s not all rainbows and sunshine, but a good amount actually is”.
So I'm looking at this video ago(taking notes) so I will know how to set up Epson for subli! Thanks Jennifer!
typo not ago
You are so welcome!
Jennifer i cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. All your tutorials are so helpful and i really enjoy watching you.. thank you
I am glad I can help!
Hi Jennifer, I was hoping you made a video on this printer. Thank you so much
This was so helpful. I’m so excited that i found your page. I’ve been using drop shipping and am tired of all the fees. I’m going to venture into doing this myself!
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck!🥰
Soooo helpful, thaaaaank u so so much, what did u laminate the flower with at the end?
With laminate pouches. There his an affiliate link on this blog post. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-on-wood/
Thanks again Jennifer, I just got my Epson and the Subliflower is a great chart for color correcting designs!
thanks for this video, I've had my printer for a while now around six months and for some reason or another I was afraid to use it. Thanks now I can get started
Glad I could help!
Just set up my Epson 2803 printer with sublimation ink. Finally hours later (and two beers later ha ha!) it appears to be up and running. I did not do the test flower, I don't think I have poly fabric to try. Then the ICC files stuff is where I got totally lost. I do not have a mac I have Windows 11. Not sure where it goes. Suffice it to say that the whole ICC thing just blew over my head. It looks like a good thing I'm sure. I think I will just for now just start the basics with sublimation. My oven is coming today. Maybe later I will figure out the ICC thing. I was an Engineer but I am from the South and we speak a little slower. It just all went too fast. But I love ya and have learned so much.
I'm glad you are diving in and learning! I also have a Sublimation FB Group that I think you could get a wealth of information from as well as ask any questions, facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy ❤️
Jennifer, thank you so much for your video! I feel much more able to do it now.
Wonderful!
Hi Jennifer! You are amazing, thank you so much for the video so easy to follow. I have one question on the ICC profiles I didn’t see a ET 4800 can I use the ET 4700 profile ? Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much Jennifer! I find all your videos helpful. This video will help me decide if I want to delve into the sublimation world! Looks like fun!
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
Love your explanations because they are easy to follow
I'm so happy to hear that! 💗
Thank you for your video! The only suggestion I would have would be to use regular paper instead of Sub paper to do the set up.
Thanks for sharing! 😊🌻
You're a wonderful training instructor!
Thank you so much! You are too sweet🥰
Thank you for this video. Unfortunately, I still can't get the colors right on the printing... Can you help me?
We have help at jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems 😊🌻
Thank you. I’m very new to this. Beeping looking at printers. This has been very helpful.
I'm so happy to hear that!🥰
Hi. Just set up my epson et 8550. I download the file from hiipoo but when I right click, and install profile, nothing happens. How do I know it's there?
You can ask in the group and show a photo for better help with this. facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy
I never thought I'd sub to a crafting channel..but hey here we are!! LOL..
Welcome! 😊🌻
Can you use regular copy paper when doing the set up an alignment test and is there an app for this printer do Epson for iPhone
Yes, you can use copy paper 😊🌻
Thank you for a great video and the files in the description. So very helpful and easy to follow.
You're very welcome!🥰
Can you replace the ink reservoir to go back and forth from sub to regular printer?
There are some videos on flushing the tanks, it's best to search by the model number. 😊🌻
Could you do an updated ICC profile install setup with a Mac. I can not get it to work at all. It doesn't seem to matter what program I print from. The ICC never shows up.
You can request that here. jennifermaker.com/projectrequests/
This is awesome! I have been sitting here looking at my beautiful new printer for 3 days now finally got the courage to turn it on Thank You!! But mirror image did not show in my printer menu? I have an epson ET-2800
Here is some help from Epson. files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/r1900_/r1900_ug/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Epson&file=print_comp.4.7.html#:~:text=You%20can%20select%20a%20variety,%2C%20turn%20on%20Mirror%20Image.)
HELP! The ICC profile from Hiipoo doesn't show up as an option in photoshop. It's placed in the correct "profiles" folder on my Macintosh HD.
When using Photoshop, you need to change the color handling to “Photoshop manages color” and select the ICC profile that she wants to use. The ICC profile is installed on the computer, but, some programs will require you to adjust your settings to find it. 😊🌻
I just ordered the Epson printer so I am ready to start sublimating! Thank you! - Lynn
You are so welcome! So excited for you! 🌸
Hello- I am trying to get teal on my epson 2850; it keeps printing blue instead. Please help!
It will transfer teal
hello, i am curious how many sheets can we print with an ecotank converted sublimation printer? thank you
It depends on what you're printing. 😊🌻
You are so amazing Jennifer , Just a easy question . i am so very new at this Jen , what computer do you prefer the Mac or Windows . i have both but i want to make one just for my work. Thank you for being so so awesome , your voice and slow instructions are so easy for me to understand
I am a Mac user.
HI, a question. Is the material of the inks different from each other. And the filling inks, or are they all the same material, regardless of the colors. In other words, I can fill in all types of printers. Or is there a difference in the density of the material. I hope to find the answer.
Sublimation ink is a little thicker than regular printer ink. 😊🌻
Do you think its worth getting a wide format printer for sublimation? I'm not sure if i want the 8550 or tegular 4800
that depends on what you plan on making. 🥰
If you're planning on making larger projects, you'd also need a larger full size press as well. 😊🌻
Thank you so much. Just set up my ET-4800 and did my Subliflower. Thank you Thank you
Yay! You are so welcome!
Oh my: my eco tank is saying that there’s a problem with the print head nozzles. Any help would be appreciated. Just trying to set it up for sublimation 😢
Check out jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems 😊🌻
Subbed and liked because you explain everything very clearly and you have take the time to create the demo file for everyone. Thank you!
You are so very welcome!💗
Hi Jennifer, love your videos 💕
does this apply to all ecotanks?
i have an epson ecotank 1810 i want to convert to sub printer
same Q here... does it work for other ecotanks?
I’d love to know if the 1810 can be used with the autofill Hiipoo inks
After you pressed the first flower, how did you know these were "not quite the right colors"? What were you comparing to? Thanks so much!
I compared them to a color chart. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems/
Good morning, I working on setting up for the best colors. When opening the pdf do I use "labelled" or "unlabelled". I'm working on a surface Pro 8 tablet. TIA
One is labelled with text, one is just the image - no text. 😊🌻
Hi Jennifer, I have the Hiipoo ICC under profiles on my Mac but when I'm in photoshop, it doesn't show up as an option. Any suggestions? Thank you!!!!
When converting do you have to make sure you don’t download firmware? My last epson that was factory converted said not to add firmware
No, the printer's firmware isn't effected by the ink 😊🌻
Hi please can you help I’ve got to the part where I download epson support I chose my operating system but under the downloads I do not get the ‘drivers and utilities combo package installer’ so not sure what I am meant to download my epson printer is an ET-2810 and I’m using windows on my laptop
Hi there! It sounds like you're having trouble finding the correct driver and utilities combo package installer for your Epson ET-2810 printer on your Windows laptop.
Firstly, ensure that you're visiting the official Epson support website for your region. This will ensure you're getting the correct and most up-to-date drivers and software for your printer model.
Once you're on the Epson support website, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the section where you select your operating system. Make sure you choose the correct version of Windows that you're using on your laptop (e.g., Windows 10, Windows 11).
2. After selecting your operating system, you should see a list of available downloads for your printer model. If you don't see the "drivers and utilities combo package installer," it's possible that Epson may have categorized it differently or it might be listed under a different name.
3. Look through the list of available downloads carefully. You're specifically looking for a package that includes both the drivers and utilities for your printer. It may not be explicitly named "drivers and utilities combo package installer," but it should contain everything you need to set up and use your printer.
4. If you're still unable to locate the correct package, you can try searching for it using the search feature on the Epson support website. Use keywords like "combo package installer" or "full feature software" along with your printer model (ET-2810) to narrow down the results.
5. Once you've found the appropriate package, download and install it following the on-screen instructions provided by Epson. This should install all the necessary drivers and utilities for your printer on your Windows laptop.
If you're still having trouble finding the right package or encountering any issues during the installation process, don't hesitate to reach out to Epson customer support for further assistance. They should be able to provide you with personalized help to get your printer up and running smoothly. 😊🌻
If you download the ICC profile is this a one time process? and do you have to select mirror , paper type etc., all the time? Awesome video tutorial.
Yes you do, but it becomes second nature after a while. 😊🌻
I love that you did this video. I am a little late to the game. I bought the Hippo ink and a ET-4800 printer. I am a little concerend that the tanks to all of the colored ink. Hopefully sublimation won't take that much. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Jennifer,
Can you tell me where you purchased your cute mint green tape dispenser? I’ve been looking all over for a cute one🥰
So glad I found you never done sublimation before and wanted to try it, but nervous. Saw your video on items needed and finally got almost everything, all the big stuff including a mug press. Waiting on my blanks now. Do you have a video on tumblers? Also butcher paper not Teflon material?? I appreciate your advice. I don’t sell, I just make for family, friends, and myself. Hobby for stress relief. So thank you for the tutorial videos. Also any advice on designs where to find and requirements?
that's so exciting! I do have a tutorial on doing tumblers jennifermaker.com/sublimation-tumblers/ and no you do not want to use teflon. 🥰
I follow all the steps. I download the icc for hiippo dragged it over put my password. Then when I go to photoshop to the drop down menu the hiippo isn’t an option…. What am I doing wrong?
Unfortunately, Hiippo ICC profiles may not work on some Mac OS.
