Jennifer, thank you so much for absolutely EVERYTHING you and your staff do to bless all of your subscribers. You are the most generous crafting icon I know. I believe your astounding success is partly do to your selfless generosity. I know you have worked incredibly hard and sacrificed much (especially time spent with your family) to get to where you are today. You will continue to shine because we all believe in you as much as you believe in all of us!!
I’m laid up after back surgery and am so glad for these videos! Thank you Jennifer and team for coming into my home and keeping me company as I sit in a recliner .🥰
Angie Holden has a video on how to schedule your printer to print while you’re away on vacation. You have to leave plain paper in the printer so that it can print every week during this time.
I love my 2 ecotank 2800's. They use so little ink. One is fir sublimation and one is for regular printing and they're affordable for me. Thank you as always, Jennifer, for the video. See all at 6:00 tonight.
Thank you Jennifer for sharing this video, it has really helped me understand and has given me more confidence in what I'm trying to accomplish. Although I haven't got all of my stuff together, I'm more confident that I can do what I've always wanted to do. Thanks to the person that asked about the pre-printing of designs. I was wondering about this very subject, and you have answered it for me. Thank you again and may God bless you and your family! Happy Easter to you all!
I’m so happy I listened to you today! My mind has been turning over and over on what type of printer I actually need! Today, you answered all my questions plus many more that I didn’t even think about. So, I put you on pause and purchased an Epson 3850 from Amazon! I am so relieved. Thank You! I will be watching your channel for my own personal learning resources. 🎉
Jennifer, I love how you explain how to do a project and take the time to understand what a beginner would encounter when starting a project. Thank you.
Like you, I've used almost every printer available since the 80s. Last year we got a brand new Epson ET-2800 that I use as my sublimation printer. Hubs picked up a discontinued Epson Super Tank ST-2000 at auction for about $5-$10. I use that for my regular inkjet printer. I LOVE my tank Epsons!!! Tonight, he brought home a used Epson ET-2750 for himself. Got it at auction for $1.00!!! NO MORE CARTRIDGES!! Woo Hoo!!! I've always preferred the quality of the Epsons. I used an Epson Workforce years ago to make and sell laminated bookmarks. Now I can make them even better!!!
I have the 3000 series for sublimation, it works great! I’ve not had a problem yet. I also have a 4000 series for regular inkjet printing. Eco tanks are awesome.
Thank you so much for all of your great information. I have had the ET 3160 for 2 years and LOVE it. However, I realized after watching this video that my drivers were either not installed or were out of date.... NOW I can set print quality and print Media whereas before those options did not show up. Thank you SO much! I just bought the Cricut Maker so now I will be printing and cutting up a storm...this was just in time !
OMG I am so glad that I found your channel. I'm ready to take the plunge with sublimation printing. I really want to try it with t-shirts but am a bit unsure because of the fabric type that you can only print on. A lot of the products that I want to print on are cotton and dark. I'm going to continue to check your channel to check out your tips and tricks. Thanks for making it easy for newbies like me. Take care!
You are so fun to listen to!! I have a heat press that is very very dusty... Working too much had caused me to neglect my love for crafting and anything art. I will be lured back by watching you. thank you!
Take care....work sometimes can suck the creative juice dry and worse is when it doesn't need too. I worry about the medical people who are over worked and given little care about their human needs and care. We all need to have time for ourselves and our personal needs and personalities that refresh us and keeps us well mentally and physically both. Take care for sure.
Paper jams happen from the ream due to excess paper dust. Fanning it clears the dust. When it goes through the printer it gets on the paper feeder rollers. Wipe it off with rubbing alcohol gets the dust off the roller and you see less jams.
Do you use the printer often? Many people complain of ink being clogged up if not used often. And it is very difficult to unclog. Jennifer has a vlog showing how confusing it is to do so. I would get this if it wasn’t for the clogging!
@@lindabradford9591sublimation isn’t always possible and you’re limited to what sublimation blanks are available. And I’m not sure I like the feeling of sublimation T-shirt’s compared to 100% cotton ones. Vinyl is still what I will mostly use except for mugs and tumblers.
So many models to choose. I have a Canon ink tank and love it. If I get into sublimation, I'll have to start the shopping, comparing, pricing. After Christmas sales would be a great time.
First time seeing your videos. You do a great job explaining things. Great job!!! I did not know about sublimation printing until just now. I’m pretty excited. lol.
Thanks for a great review video of the ET. I have been looking at various ET printers for the last few weeks and was not able to decide between the 2850, 3850, 4850 and 8500. And this video really helps. The last time I brought a printer was about 3 years ago for a Brother Color Laser. It was fine printing regular documents. Not so good printing photos. Previously I had a few Epson R200 that print great photos but since I have not use it for years, the heads get clogged up and it refuse to turn on properly without Epson resetting it. The review of the top printing is spot on. With the top loading, it rarely get any paper jam especially using specialty papers and which is what I wanted for this new printer. Especially if trying to print I know the 2850 is top loading and thought the 3850 was too until you show the paper tray. Now I need to see if the 3850 would work for my needs. Thanks.
Just bought the eco tank 2803 . It wasn’t that easy for us since we are totally new to this but we managed It. lol thanks you for This helpful video. My husband has always been one that believes in shutting everything off,so I’m glad you spoke on this. Good to know.
This video really helped me out because last night I was able to setup my ET2850 in less than 20 minutes all by myself. I am going to use it just as an inkjet printer because I already have a sawgrass 500. Thanks again for all these great videos and fun projects. I look forward to this every year. 🎄😊
I have an Epson ECOTANK 2803 for sublimation, and I love it. I never turn it off, and I print every week. A friend turned hers off and didn’t print every week, and when she got ready to print some transfer, she discovered that it was clogged. So I print for her. She has tried several things to get it going again, but nothing worked.
Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for this video with all the detailed information and examples you provided. You have no idea how frustrated I was with my Epson printer for not having the correct settings, and all along it was me that never installed its driver 😬😅
First off i want to thank you and give your flowers 💐 for all your wonderful videos, they are extremely helpful!!!! ❤️ I would also like to ask for some advice please.... I have brand new epson ecotank et-2800 and a et-4800, i want to keep one printer for regular inkjet 522 ink and one converting to sublimation hiipoo ink. Which printer do you suggest i should convert for sublimation?
I love seeing what you do and make!! Thank you. I would like to know your opinion on the Sawgrass printers?? I have my eyes on one that i really want to purchase. If you could please share your opinion, i would appreciate it very much
if you get a epson printer that uses the 4 cartridges instead of a ecotank you can buy a refillable cartridge and use sublimation ink saving money in comparison to buying a ecotank you can also use regular dye ink if thats what you prefer
I have new Epson 8500. How do i print on rice paper for decoupage? Do i need to tape onto copy paper 1st? Or will it run through printer on its own? Do i use front or back paper feed? Can't find answer on Epson site. Thank you so much!!
It's generally best to tape the rice paper onto a sheet of copy paper first before feeding it through the printer; use the front paper feed and make sure the printed side of the rice paper faces up. While some printers might handle thin rice paper alone, taping it to a sturdier backing ensures smoother printing and prevents potential jams.
Good Morning! Thank you for being you and for always being solo helpful and sharing your knowledge. What is the advantage to having the printer that has 6 colors versus 4?
I always run into the issues with the Eco Tanks , Lines through my images, yes I clean heads and etc. Another issue is if you don't run these at least once a week then the ink will dry up and then you may as well throw the unit away.
I'm not sure if you are referring to an inkjet or sublimation printer. It would be great for you to ask in more detail in either my Cricut Crafters and Makers FB Group, facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/ or Sublimation FB Group, facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy ❤️
Do the Epson 2000 & 3000 printers print on envelopes? Like A2 or #10 envelopes? I like to do envelopes, especially at the holidays. I also definitely want to print on card stock. Glad I found this video since I’m looking for a printer right now.
You should be able to select the paper Size setting that matches the envelope you loaded in the printer. You would want to do this only if it is an inkjet printer however. epson.com/faq/SPT_C11CG20202~faq-00007f4-st3000?faq_cat=faq-topFaqs
What is the best EcoTank for beginners but still print good. Like what is the difference in prints from the 4760 to the 2803 to the 4850? I'm trying to purchase one based off of your videos. I'm just curious on what the actual difference is with color/printing/etc for Sublimation between the three
Thank you for this video! I am kind of interested in trying sublimation but everyone who mentions converting an EcoTank (that I've heard, anyway) talks about how you need to be sure to buy a "converter kit". That sounded intimidating to me. Not the idea of converting, necessarily, but that apparently it was a specialized enough process to require a "kit". Why on earth didn't those other people just say that you just need to buy a new printer and fill it with sublimation ink instead of the ink it comes with? I was picturing having to do minor surgery and installing something technical inside, lol.
You may need a kit if you used regular ink in your printer first and need to flush the lines, but you don't need that in order to fill the tanks with sublimation ink. 😊🌻
What printer of eco tank have a pigment ink? And what is good for printing photo or have a good vibrant quality printing ? Is it dye ink or pigment ink? Is eco tank have pigment ink on it ? Or the ink that comes with it is dye ink? Hope you can answer me for this one because im still confused on what epson should I get.
Epson EcoTank printers typically come with dye-based inks. However, there are models and options available that can use pigment inks. It's important to check the specifications of the specific model you're interested in. If you are looking for a specific type of ink printer to convert to sublimation, it would be best to check the specifications of the particular model you are interested in. This should help you make a more informed decision based on your printing needs. Here is a tutorial for further help. jennifermaker.com/what-epson-printer-for-sublimation/
Hi Jennifer I am 69 and live in Australia, i am very interested in sublimation printing and transferring logos onto cups and plates etc, i have purchased a heat pres that can transfer onto plates and cups. I have watched some of your videos and as a result i have also purchased from Amazon an Epsom ET 4800, some sublimation sheets and ink. So getting ready to go. I was very interested in your stain glass sheets. My wife would love for me to make May Gibbs art work onto glass, if you could help me develop that idea, would be great. Thank you.
Sounds like you are just moving right along, yay! Take a look at my blog post tutorial on the stained glass for more detailed information, jennifermaker.com/sublimating-on-glass/ ❤️
Oh Jennifer the more I look at videos now the more confused I am getting. I make earrings with sayings on them and I want to start back putting pictures on them using a product called Kraft Tex. Because my sayings of which I have more than 100, I have used an Epson monochromatic printer, so now it looks as if I will need two printers. What I want to know is can the Epson 2000 and 3000 print on Kraft Tex. Kraft Tex is a tough paper that is washable, sewable, paintable and can also go through the embossing and die cutting process very successfully. Thank you for the informative video.
That is not something that I have tested. Doing a google search I see that you can use it with ink jet printers. There are lot of tutorials out there to help you research that.
Hi Jennifer, what epson tank printer can you reccommend for upto 500 gsm or thick papers? I hope you could help me find and choose the best printer for my soon to be business.
I do not know of any. This is what I found on a google search: The maximum weight is 300 g/m2 using genuine Epson media only. Some products support a maximum of up to 255 g/m2 using genuine Epson media only (e.g. R800). www.epson.eu/en_EU/faq/KA-01505/contents?loc=en-us#:~:text=The%20maximum%20weight%20is%20300,media%20only%20(e.g.%20R800).
Jennifer I so trust you! I have been vassilating on replacing my HP4750. Does the Epson have a good quality print? I do not want to do sublimation - I only want good quality prints for my cricut as I also use my printer for home use. My HP will handle all size papers np - will this Epson? I would like to transition away from the ink cartridges to the tanks. ty
Jennifer, thank you for this video. I have my et 2760 printer set up for sublimation. But If you can, please tell me your overall favorite of these printers for Crafting. Especially printing on 100lb card stock. I am thinking to get the et 3830 but is there a better choice?
What about print quality? In corps of there is a difference in the models and how pretty the colors look. Thank you for ask you do. I have learned so much from you.
Hi, Thank you so much for your videos! ❤ I'd like to know if EPSON L300 can also be used for sublimation? If yes, is it possible to change the Ecotank from regular Ink to a sublimation Ink?
Yes. You can search for videos on how people have changed an EcoTank to sublimation. We have not done that. Remember that it does void the warranty when you convert an EcoTank printer to sublimation.
Thank you for this! Any of these printers support paper roll printing, for banner/endless printing? Or do you know of any inkjet printers suitable for sublimation printing, that can do 2-3 meter long prints?
Excellent instruction. Please: I need guidance on which EcoTank model to purchase to be able to print on cardstock for papercrafts. I'd be using it for Cricut print and cut projects where I want thicker paper than my current printer can handle. Thank you for any advice.
Have you ever ran out of Hiipoo and then had to use Jack? (Sublimation) Would it be a bad idea to mix them or would it be ok? Sorry if I missed it if you already answered this.
Jennifer, I just got my Epson Eco tank 2803 and my inks are not working right. I have lines on all the colors but black. I have cleaned my heads and used purge papers. HELP!!!
Total newbie here…I bought hiippo ink that was compatible with the 4800 but put it in a 4850 but I had a lot of issues with the nozzle check. I did over 28 test prints to get no broken lines and waiting the 6-7 hours as it said in the troubleshooting. This prompted more research and I’ve read conflicting info that the 4850 can’t be used for sublimation. Do you know if this is true and if so, did I ruin the machine putting the ink in that didn’t list this model number
The Epson 4850 can be used for sublimation, but it's not officially designed for sublimation as you know. If the sublimation ink you used isn't specifically listed for this model, there's a risk of printhead clogging or damage. However, if the printer is still functioning correctly after testing, you likely haven't ruined it. Just keep an eye on its performance.
Jennifer, thank you so much for absolutely EVERYTHING you and your staff do to bless all of your subscribers. You are the most generous crafting icon I know. I believe your astounding success is partly do to your selfless generosity. I know you have worked incredibly hard and sacrificed much (especially time spent with your family) to get to where you are today.

You and I are crafting vicariously through others on youtube! Love having the company!
Get well soon
Santa couldn't bring a sublimation printer for Christmas, but my hubby said that he would buy it for my birthday in the spring!
Angie Holden has a video on how to schedule your printer to print while you’re away on vacation. You have to leave plain paper in the printer so that it can print every week during this time.
Wonderful!

I really wish that people in Australia could win some of the prizes. We seem to miss out, but I really love your projects. Thank you.

I have an Epson ECOTANK 2803 for sublimation, and I love it. I never turn it off, and I print every week.
A friend turned hers off and didn’t print every week, and when she got ready to print some transfer, she discovered that it was clogged. So I print for her. She has tried several things to get it going again, but nothing worked.
Printers should be used in color 1o 2 times a week or they might clog. She should look for cleaning kits if she hasn't already..
Would that happen if I use the regular ink it comes with 😭

I came across this video at the perfect time. I am searching for a printer, great information thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
You can't make a mistake putting the wrong ink into the wrong tank because the Epson ink bottles have different grooves for each color.

Me too
Hello from Waterford, Michigan ❤

the 4800 is slightly larger and has a faster print speed but for the most part they are the same so really either one will do!🥰
I love seeing what you do and make!! Thank you. I would like to know your opinion on the Sawgrass printers?? I have my eyes on one that i really want to purchase. If you could please share your opinion, i would appreciate it very much
I just love my Epson eco tank. I have had it for a year. I spend less for ink and it last longer.

The 2850:will not print 110lb card stock. I just found that out today.
I cover my printers with a large plastic after each use to prevent dusts from clogging it!
Good idea!
Hi Jennifer, how do I switch from ink jet to sublimation ink? And what ecotank Epson series are you using? Thank you.
What is the best EcoTank for beginners but still print good. Like what is the difference in prints from the 4760 to the 2803 to the 4850? I'm trying to purchase one based off of your videos. I'm just curious on what the actual difference is with color/printing/etc for Sublimation between the three

That sounded intimidating to me. Not the idea of converting, necessarily, but that apparently it was a specialized enough process to require a "kit". Why on earth didn't those other people just say that you just need to buy a new printer and fill it with sublimation ink instead of the ink it comes with? I was picturing having to do minor surgery and installing something technical inside, lol.
That's too bad they misled you. I have the ecotank 2800 and I just put the sublimation ink instead of the regular. Yes it's very simple.
You may need a kit if you used regular ink in your printer first and need to flush the lines, but you don't need that in order to fill the tanks with sublimation ink. 😊🌻
Paper trays, fax and auto feeders are really a big deal to me I do use them. I am considering an Epson Eco tank for my next printer.
Wonderful!
What printer of eco tank have a pigment ink?
And what is good for printing photo or have a good vibrant quality printing ? Is it dye ink or pigment ink?
Is eco tank have pigment ink on it ? Or the ink that comes with it is dye ink? Hope you can answer me for this one because im still confused on what epson should I get.
Epson EcoTank printers typically come with dye-based inks. However, there are models and options available that can use pigment inks. It's important to check the specifications of the specific model you're interested in. If you are looking for a specific type of ink printer to convert to sublimation, it would be best to check the specifications of the particular model you are interested in. This should help you make a more informed decision based on your printing needs. Here is a tutorial for further help.

Hi Jennifer
I am 69 and live in Australia, i am very interested in sublimation printing and transferring logos onto cups and plates etc, i have purchased a heat pres that can transfer onto plates and cups.
I have watched some of your videos and as a result i have also purchased from Amazon an Epsom ET 4800, some sublimation sheets and ink. So getting ready to go.
I was very interested in your stain glass sheets. My wife would love for me to make May Gibbs art work onto glass, if you could help me develop that idea, would be great. Thank you.
Sounds like you are just moving right along, yay! Take a look at my blog post tutorial on the stained glass for more detailed information, jennifermaker.com/sublimating-on-glass/ ❤️
Why do you most often choose to use the Eco Tank 3850 instead of the F170? I am concerned about the warranty issue.
More people use the Ecotanks🥰
Oh Jennifer the more I look at videos now the more confused I am getting. I make earrings with sayings on them and I want to start back putting pictures on them using a product called Kraft Tex. Because my sayings of which I have more than 100, I have used an Epson monochromatic printer, so now it looks as if I will need two printers. What I want to know is can the Epson 2000 and 3000 print on Kraft Tex. Kraft Tex is a tough paper that is washable, sewable, paintable and can also go through the embossing and die cutting process very successfully. Thank you for the informative video.
That is not something that I have tested. Doing a google search I see that you can use it with ink jet printers. There are lot of tutorials out there to help you research that.
Hi Jennifer, what epson tank printer can you reccommend for upto 500 gsm or thick papers? I hope you could help me find and choose the best printer for my soon to be business.
I do not know of any. This is what I found on a google search: The maximum weight is 300 g/m2 using genuine Epson media only. Some products support a maximum of up to 255 g/m2 using genuine Epson media only (e.g. R800).

Jennifer I so trust you! I have been vassilating on replacing my HP4750. Does the Epson have a good quality print? I do not want to do sublimation - I only want good quality prints for my cricut as I also use my printer for home use. My HP will handle all size papers np - will this Epson? I would like to transition away from the ink cartridges to the tanks. ty
Yes it does!🥰
What are the differences between the Epson 2400 vs. 2850? Besides price, what are the pros and cons for sublimation printing?
They're just different model numbers with slightly different features. 😊🌻
Will the epson 2400 work good for sublimation
Jennifer, thank you for this video. I have my et 2760 printer set up for sublimation. But If you can, please tell me your overall favorite of these printers for Crafting. Especially printing on 100lb card stock. I am thinking to get the et 3830 but is there a better choice?
That's a good choice.
Great video very informative
What about print quality? In corps of there is a difference in the models and how pretty the colors look. Thank you for ask you do. I have learned so much from you.
FYI the ET-4810 is also rear paper loading.
Thanks!
Hi, Thank you so much for your videos! ❤ I'd like to know if EPSON L300 can also be used for sublimation? If yes, is it possible to change the Ecotank from regular Ink to a sublimation Ink?
Yes. You can search for videos on how people have changed an EcoTank to sublimation. We have not done that. Remember that it does void the warranty when you convert an EcoTank printer to sublimation.
Looks like the 3850 also has a front papertray. And thanks for the review. I was specifically looking for the front/back paper tray information
Glad I could help
Jennifer I love your videos. Not sure if you can help, but can I use DTF ink instead of sublimation ink and have a DTF printer?
Here is a helpful tutorial. jennifermaker.com/dtf-t-shirt-printing-on-cotton-sublimation/
Para mi la mejor de todas es Epson ET 8550 , es una maravilla
Yay!
Thanks Jennifer, Will that print directly on fabric?
You will need to press it on high polyester count fabric.
Thank you for this! Any of these printers support paper roll printing, for banner/endless printing? Or do you know of any inkjet printers suitable for sublimation printing, that can do 2-3 meter long prints?
I am not sure.
Jennifer is there another seller for the ink other than Amazon? About how much does a set of ink cost. Loved this video. I need a new printer
You can go directly to Hiipoo's site or even from Walmart or where sublimations printers are sold locally.
Excellent instruction. Please: I need guidance on which EcoTank model to purchase to be able to print on cardstock for papercrafts. I'd be using it for Cricut print and cut projects where I want thicker paper than my current printer can handle. Thank you for any advice.
Ecotanks are good with printing up to 68# cardstock 🥰
Thank you-@@JenniferMaker
I am researching the Epson Eco Tanks and it does say that the ET-3830 does have a front loading paper tray.
Good to know!
I’m using this for printing photos to transfer on to canvases and or wood ,etc.
❤️
Have you ever ran out of Hiipoo and then had to use Jack? (Sublimation) Would it be a bad idea to mix them or would it be ok? Sorry if I missed it if you already answered this.
I don't recommend switching ink 🥰
Jennifer, I just got my Epson Eco tank 2803 and my inks are not working right. I have lines on all the colors but black. I have cleaned my heads and used purge papers. HELP!!!
We have solutions here - jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems 😊🌻
Total newbie here…I bought hiippo ink that was compatible with the 4800 but put it in a 4850 but I had a lot of issues with the nozzle check. I did over 28 test prints to get no broken lines and waiting the 6-7 hours as it said in the troubleshooting.
This prompted more research and I’ve read conflicting info that the 4850 can’t be used for sublimation. Do you know if this is true and if so, did I ruin the machine putting the ink in that didn’t list this model number
The Epson 4850 can be used for sublimation, but it's not officially designed for sublimation as you know. If the sublimation ink you used isn't specifically listed for this model, there's a risk of printhead clogging or damage. However, if the printer is still functioning correctly after testing, you likely haven't ruined it. Just keep an eye on its performance.
Why not buy the tank models and use epson sublimation ink in it vs the hipoo or other aftermarket products?
There are bunches of options out there, the key is finding the best for you. 😊🌻
Do you know if we can print on sticker paper, photo paper or regular paper using sublimation ink or will it bleed, smear or fade after time?
You should be able to. It really shouldn't bleed unless it gets wet🥰
thank you for all the tips and the video
My pleasure! 😊🌻
Hey Jennifer so excited to watch tonight
