    This video is better than most on the ET-15000 setup because it actually takes you through the steps. Thank you for making a video that was definitely NOT a time-waster. I'm in the market for this printer and this was very helpful.

    When I did the initial print test mine showed broken lines as well, turns out this is common with sublimation ink. Just complete the setup and then wait overnight and go to settings and run the test again, it will likely print perfect! Something about the ink i guess. I also ran a clean printhead process a couple times before just waiting overnight.

    I need to try the Epson for sublimation, I had a Sawgrass and you’re right the ink is absolutely expensive! Also, the Sawgrass didn’t seem so user friendly, and when I had errors it was such a pain to get it working again.. one year I had to cancel like 40 ornament orders at $15 a piece, because my dumb Sawgrass wasn’t working properly.. mind you it was my second Sawgrass printer in hopes the new version was better.. nope! I stoped sublimating after that, but now I’m excited to try the Epson way!! 😃🤗

    • @SimplySallie
      @SimplySallie  4 роки тому +2

    thank you soooo much for your videos!!! they reached all over the big sea into germany and give me
    hope and strange to start up my own little busines here. I really looking forward to lern new stuff from you.
    The best results of sublimation (in a shop I worked) we had with a heat press for textile and a special heat
    press for cups and tumblers. We did use a heat oven too, but the colors didn´t had that much itensity.
    oh, by the way...you can wash the textile 1000times and it doesn´t lose any color.
    AND...you can eavan bleach it after sublimation 😍👌 without loosing colors.
    You do an AWESOME job!!!

It will be interesting to know how fast it goes through ink. Also, do you have to do anything daily to the printer? can you not use it for a week or more and the ink will be okay? I know with the old printers when you converted you had to run it every day to keep ink from drying up. Thank you =)
