    My goodness!! I JUST ORDERED her!! I mean JUST! Waiting for my email to go pick her up! I’ve been eyeing her for a while! Price increased by $100 then it was out of stock! Restocked at original price. I have an Epson 2400 and I converted using hiippo ink which worked perfectly! I just needed a wide frame printer. I was going to try another ink but seriously HIIPPO is good so I’ll probably order another round for my 8550! So excited!! Thanks for sharing!!

    Hi I'm just wondering if anyone's got any good recommendations for this specific printer. But when it comes down to sublimation inks, I found a bunch of Amazon products of sublimation ink specifically for the Epson ET 8550 Some of the Amazon reviews. Sometimes we'll say things like the bottle don't fit. Into the sockets. So it leaves like a whole mess and then also too They say that some inks don't really work well and bubble up. If anybody can send me the link to a reliable brand I'm trying to supplement on multiple different objects shirts. Metal plate posters, cups and mugs. Phone cases. And so I'm just trying to find a reliable, good brand. Considering that Amazon reviews are kind of just all over the place, I can't tell. Which is going to be a good choice?

      @@AngelBDesigns but I thought the F170 was also a wide format printer? I’m only asking because I love it 8550 and the more I discovered of all that you can do especially printing from the back printing on poster board. I’m seriously thinking of re-converting it and getting the F170. Either that or I’m going to invest in another 8550 this printer is awesome.

      No the f170 is not wide format. The f570 is.

      sublimation is done on white or light colors because the ink is transparent
