How to Set and Save Your Sublimation Printer Settings for Epson EcoTank Printers

[@merediths9698]

The print preset option is a game changer! Thank you for that tip! Makes life so much easier!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You're so welcome!

[@lightsintheskye9170]

You are so incredibly helpful! I'm very new to sublimating and I've been struggling with the quality and color output of my et-15000 printer. Your settings and thorough explanations really helped me to finally get prints up to my standards. Across all my research as well, no one demonstrated how dull the print comes out of the printer vs how it looks after being properly sublimated. Thank you so much for walking through each step with such care, sincerely appreciated!

[@JayeNicki]

Finally, a video of yours where I can watch without having to make a few purchases from Amazon because of you. The sublimation oven was a good purchase, lol. Seriously, thanks for this video because my settings kept changing every single time back to default for some reason. Hopefully it stays.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

😂😂😂😂 I should come with a disclaimer! I hope it helps ❤

Hey Delonda I love your Presentation I watch you All The Time. I've learned a lot from you. But when you were doing this presentation, it was a little bit fast and you have to remember that everyone is not working off the same printer as you. But I got it, no problem After watching it a couple of times I love you take care and bless

Hey Delonda, I just love how you explain sublimation. Thank you so much. I just got my ET-2803. I'm so excited about what I can do now. My plan is to sublimate tote bags.

Thank you so much for this video. It took me a minute to get the Printer Preferences to show up on the printer I use for sublimation. I have two 2720’s and things got a tad confused. But I did get it straightened out and the printer is now set up correctly.

[@Teresa-L.2024]

Got a technician Qs...have you downloaded the ICC profile for Hiipoo ink to your Epson? I was looking on the Hiipoo website and saw this. On looking up what an ICC profile is, it is a setting that tells your printer how to create the most accurate colors for the ink your using. Hiipoo has ICC files for all the Epson sublimation compatible printers. I have got to unbox my new Epson so I'm going to do this and see how the colors are. Hiipoo says to only sublimate directly onto fabric with maximum of 30% cotton. I saw on another tutorial that the more cotton is present the more faded and antique the printing becomes. Black & white or sepia looks best done on high cotton blends.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I have downloaded the ICC profile for Hiipoo and I didn't notice a difference at all.

[@blktiger2010]

Hey hey Delonda ~ thanks for the awesome video! Question is the sub paper you use in this video ONLY for light colored items? Thanks for the response in advance...

[@mariaclaudiarios2020]

I love watching your videos because you explain things very well and you are very kind. I bought a brand new et4800 for sublimation, I printed on paper for sublimation and it worked very well, but I have problems with dtf, it comes out with a black line and I have done everything and nothing, can someone help me please?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you With some DTF printers the rollers leave a black mark. You may need to go into the printer settings to decrease the density. This will decrease the amount of ink that is coming out of the printer.

[@jharper74]

Thank you for this. I don't know what the difference is but I had mine on ICM instead of RGB.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I'm glad it was helpful 😌

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

I have a Mac . The steps you did here, I did on the screen of the printer itself. Is this different in terms of getting the vibrant colors you spoke of here in this video ?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes, I believe the settings are different for a Mac

[@AuntWanda]

Delonda if I have already downloaded the drivers when I first converted my Epson ET1500 printer do I need to download the drivers you did again? Or do I just do the preset the setting? Thank you

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I downloaded them again today, even though I already had them downloaded. I don't think it will hurt anything.

[@AuntWanda]

@@CraftingwithDelonda I did both printers today. I notice you Mirror your image in DS before sending to the printer and then you select Mirror when you are doing the preset settings. Do I need to mirror my image every time when I'm going to send to printer even though I now have my settings already set?

[@kawandalindsey368]

Hello Delonda. This was a Great and Informative Video. Questions : Do you still mirror within the the Cricut Design Space software even though, mirror is already turned on in the Printer Pre-Settings? I don't want to assume anything, so I'm asking. In my opinion the answer would be No, but I want to make sure. Question 2: Should or Can you shake up the sublimation ink? The reason I'm asking this question is because I read somewhere that you're not suppose to shake up the ink (for the ecotank printers) whether it's going in a regular inkjet printer or sublimation printer. But I saw a KZbinr one day shaking up the ink in one of their videos. Question 3: Can these printer Pre-Settings be used in any software other than Cricut Design Space? Thank you in advance for responding back to me. Hopefully, my questions made since. ❤😊

Is it normal for a sublimation printer to print slow. I have a 2800 and it's like watching paint drying. Thanks for all you do.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thanks ❤️ I think it depends on the model. My ET 15000 takes a long time in my opinion.

Are you printing a test page on sub paper or on copy paper?

[@KristenCenci]

One thing I’m curious about do you feel you get different print quality when printing from say DesignSpace and something like Microsoft Word?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I honestly feel like the quality is the same in terms of the colors. I feel the difference lies in the accuracy of the height and width.

[@brendajohnson6523]

Hi Delond I love the video I doing every step I use the ink came with the ET 15000 Epson printer my images is printing finally but still my heat press not pressing my images on my garment can you help me out smh 😮 oh do you have to extract the images from your computer be fore you print the images off your printer

[@kimdad8831]

If you are referring to the epsons actual ink that usually comes in the box these are not sublimation inks. If you bought the package as a sublimation package you should have used the sublimation ink and supplied separately when setting it up and the printer will need to be emptied of ink and cleaned before using the sublimation ink. There are videos on yt and this is actually easier than you think

[@brendajohnson6523]

Thank you so ever much I was literally done with this sublimation but there’s a GOD thanks again so now I’m headed to YT to watch the videos

Have you ever printed on your Epson using the multipage poster print feature where you can print a larger than regular or legal size item that takes 2x2 or more pages to print. I have successfully done this but neglected to write down the settings I used to accomplish that. I have experimented numerous times trying to recreate that. I have tried contacting Epson support, but they were not helpful.

[@RockyTopGal14]

I notice you always select "mirror" in your printer settings. Is it okay to do it via the cricut instead of the printer? Or do you just leave the cricut image normal and keep the printer set to always mirror the image? I just don't want to mess up and have them both mirroring. What's the best way to do this?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

My printer settings are set and saved to mirror automatically. Just make sure before you print that the images are matching the direction on the screen.
