[@MarciaVentimiglia]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

You're so kind! I'm so happy you're here crafting with us! 😊🌻

[@barbarag7831]

Thank you for this no fluff, to the point, step by step instructional video. Very much appreciated!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@JD-72191]

Setting up my EcoTank now. So glad I knew to come here and get coached by Jennifer on how to do this. 😅

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay! I hope it helps!

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

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.

[@JenniferMaker]

Hooray!!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! 💜

[@annetempera1945]

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)

[@JenniferMaker]

I hope you love it too! Have fun with it!

[@calmone5772]

Yes lol

[@renukasalinger]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much! I question the universe too! 😁

[@somechicgeek]

I just set up my printer today following your guide and my subliflower came out PERFECT! So excited to create more things!! Thank you for this!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@terry22toons]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so glad to hear that! 😃

[@ocd.apparel]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are too sweet, Connie! Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback!

[@snowdrop4842]

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?

[@ocd.apparel]

@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.

[@snowdrop4842]

Thank you! ​@@ocd.apparel

[@kylepokigo6293]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much!!

[@TanmoyDasIN]

@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.😊

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@Cleocatastic]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so glad to hear that! 😃

[@perrimedina4345]

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?

[@JD-72191]

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?

[@JojoArcocha]

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!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Wonderful! Hope you enjoy it!

[@jordanriver8550]

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..❤

[@JenniferMaker]

The Sawgrass is excellent!

[@charmainewarren2644]

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!!

[@JenniferMaker]

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.

[@laurasandy4479]

Thank you for a fantastic "eco tank for dummies" tutorial!! Very helpful and easy to understand 😊

[@JenniferMaker]

You're very welcome! 💜

[@MaryBallard-s4j]

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!!!!!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@lizardo_family]

I love your videos Jennifer. You always explain everything so well. We appreciate the time you take with your videos. ♥️

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you're here crafting with us!

[@LupeaL100]

Wow. Thank you so much for your time explaining thoroughly the process . When it comes to setting things up I'm not good at all but you help me a lot.

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JenniferAtkins-kd1mn]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so very welcome and thank you for being here and watching!💗

[@aftodormalina2179]

You are amazing, thank you so much, the most useful and detailed video I have ever seen. The world needs more craft masters like you! 😍😍😘✨

[@JenniferMaker]

Wow, thank you!

[@Silverstudiobc]

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. 🎉❤

[@JD-72191]

What model did you get? I’m thinking about getting one soon!

[@Silverstudiobc]

2850 from Costco. Great deal to start

[@savagelife50]

you lost me with the icc on hippo for windows but great tutorial

[@dameanvil]

00:34 🖨 Start with a new, unused Epson EcoTank printer for sublimation conversion to avoid complications. 01:31 🖨 Use sublimation ink bottles compatible with your printer, ensuring easy filling, and avoid using standard inkjet ink. 03:56 🖨 After converting to sublimation ink, avoid switching ink brands to prevent complications and maintain print quality. 05:25 🖨 When filling the ink tanks, ensure the ink levels reach the top line without squeezing the bottle, allowing gravity to fill the tank. 07:44 🖥 Install Epson printer drivers and utilities on your computer before connecting the printer to enable printing functionality. 17:31 🖨 Plan for approximately nine sheets of paper for the setup process, including printing test pages and aligning print heads. 21:01 🖨 Adjust print settings for sublimation printing: Set print quality to Best and enable Mirror image option. 22:06 🌡 Preheat heat press to 400°F for 5 seconds before pressing sublimation print on polyester. 23:11 📎 Use heat-resistant tape to secure the print and cover it with white uncoated butcher paper before pressing to prevent ghosting. 24:52 🖼 Consider installing an ICC profile specific to your ink brand to achieve more accurate and vibrant colors in sublimation prints. 28:53 🎨 ICC profiles significantly impact color vibrancy in sublimation prints, enhancing the final result. 31:55 💰 Epson EcoTank offers cost-effective sublimation printing but may require manual setup and lacks official support post-conversion.

[@moewright7615]

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.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much! It is my pleasure. 😊

[@terrinplez9391]

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.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks for subbing!

[@4MEANY]

Great video explaining sublimation. I was intimidated to even think about it, but after watching this, I am sure I can do it too! Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

You can do it!

[@jennifers8341]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

So exciting! Have fun!💗

[@nikkielliott4424]

Great video. Quick question, when doing the alignment printing etc can you use normal copy paper instead of sublimation paper?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes you can!

[@joanna4157]

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

[@karenstrong8887]

Thank you. You taught me so much more than anyone else. Now I am ready to start.

[@JenniferMaker]

That's wonderful! Have fun!

[@BettyKCreations_Nashville]

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

Fantastic video - so professional, with clear explanations of what to do. Thanks for putting this together.

[@JenniferMaker]

My pleasure!

[@lesleydickson7746]

Very interesting. Do you need to use your precious sublimation paper for the setup process?

[@JenniferMaker]

No, you can use copy paper for it.

[@aliceharmon728]

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.

[@JenniferMaker]

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 ❤️

[@kathygoad]

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! 😊

[@mistymunch7051]

It says in previous comments that you can use regular paper

[@agbs_creations]

I was wondering the same

[@zaripari8558]

❤😂😢😮😅🎉

[@missyrichert1015]

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 😂

[@colleenwiseman630]

Sorry I just saw similar question, thanks

[@Tigeabee]

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

[@JenniferMaker]

Good luck!! 🌻💗

[@Tigeabee]

@@JenniferMaker Awww 🥰 Thank you Ms. Maker!! 😊

[@mgb426]

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

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes you cn use regular paper to test. The color may look a little different but not too much.

[@melanthes]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! You too!

[@johannareilly8282]

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!

[@JenniferMaker]

It should save it but double check it if it is turned off.

[@susanwolf7703]

Susan Wolf ​thank you for walking us through the ICC profile, this is the first time I understood how to do it. Thank you so very very much

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@johnbrooker1083]

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 !

[@Accounting-s2i]

Thank you so much for the video!! You explain everything so well!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful! ❤️

[@cpop3372]

Can you print from Google Docs using the ICC profile?

[@janicebishop4240]

has this question ever been answered? I would love to know as well

[@olubukola7]

Hey Jenny, thanks for your upload. Do I need an ICC profile to do this?

[@mondragonpaty]

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]

I'm so happy it made the decision easier for you!!🥰

[@mondragonpaty]

@@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.

[@PhilGibs0n]

This was by far the best explanation of setting up for dye sub that I've seen. Kudos!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@KE4ourkids]

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.

[@kelseyroberts1064]

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.

[@JenniferMaker]

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.🥰

[@kelseyroberts1064]

@@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”.

Not all Epson Eco Tanks are refilled the same. My ET 2800 ink is filled L to R BYMC. I, however, followed what you demonstrated (L to R BCMY) and now I have to change two inks. I caught the mistake. I am learning a totally a new skill today! I thought it would be the beginning of my sublimation journey, but instead I'm learning how to empty ink supplies and replace the inks. Who says one cannot learn new "tricks" at 79! Mostly I love your videos. I should have caught this oddity my self. I was careless.

[@sublimationman]

So glad i found your videos (watched a few so far) I use to do sublimation printing a long time ago when it was a lot more difficult and when Sawgrass sued most of the other ink companies out of business or bought them up. I actually had a $400 Epson printer and needed ink, the ink I used (Artanium) was purchased by Sawgrass and phased out, Sawgass suggestion was to use one of there other inks (they had several ones back then) and it bricked my printer. So I had a dead $400 printer and wasted $200 worth of ink. I called it quits at that time but I have a CO2 laser and want to make sublimation printed jewelry items cut out on my laser so I am thinking of getting back in (still have my 30 year old heat press (Insta) and it moans and groans but still heats great). I think I will get the Eco tanks and Hippo inks to play with.

[@charlesbrown2587]

In a previous segment you mentioned that one should not invert the machine due to risk of spilling ink.

This video has been super helpful, thank you! I am setting up my ET-3850 and the instructions say to set up the printer before filling the tanks. Would you recommend following their steps or following yours and filling the tank first? Thank so much!

[@JenniferMaker]

Follow their steps but only use sublimation ink in the printer. 😊🌻

[@singinglalalalalala]

Hi Jennifer, love your videos 💕 does this apply to all ecotanks? i have an epson ecotank 1810 i want to convert to sub printer

[@A.I.Ekspozay]

same Q here... does it work for other ecotanks?

[@vikkinn]

I’d love to know if the 1810 can be used with the autofill Hiipoo inks

I got the same printer for Print then Cut and Sublimation so I have a full set of ink ready for the next time I fill up! Thanks for doing this video! I should get my sublimation ink by Monday! Can't wait to start sublimation printing! I am so glad you walked through the alignment. For some reason my regular non sublimation printer didn't walk me through the alignment section at all. I did figure it out but mine was not as detailed. Maybe it's cause I have a 2803.

You are so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed the 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?

[@JenniferMaker]

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. 🥰

Great video! Can I use regular paper for the test/set up pages?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes you can!

[@gregpeterson4223]

If I have already put regular ink in printer is it still possible to convert to eco tank sublimation printer? Anyone? Thanks.

[@brittneycaseboatright9288]

Yes it is

[@paulinesaens9677]

[@JenniferMaker]
