Brother Sublimation Printer

Great printer. Easy set up! Vibrant colors!

I was saving to buy a sublimation printer, Then I saw this printer, when I saw the price I said this is the one . The size it’s perfect for my craft space, the preformance it’s very good, the quality print it’s beautiful the colors when you press it with the heat press especially the mugs and tumblers look beautiful I’m not a fan of sublimate tshirt. But for the other things for personalize mugs, tumblers, canvas ect. It’s great. The inks well for my it’s ok , if you think other inks. Like sawgrass its more expensive , this ones it’s ok the price . And the best part As long as the Brother SP1 Sublimation Printer is being kept plugged in and turned on, it purges once a week. On top of that, the printer also does “flushing” every time it prints to remove sticky ink attached to the nozzle area. The SP1 is continuously performing these two operations to prevent clogs automatically. I’m very glad and happy

This is my first sublimation printer and I am very happy with this printer. The photos that I have printed have been very good quality and vibrant colors and have applied really well to the sublimation blanks I have used. I like that it will self clean the heads as long as the printer power is on. It was important to me to get an actual sublimation printer in order to have the warranty on it.The printer works with the Artspira app. This app is only available on a smart phone or tablet. It is very difficult to design on such a small screen. Brother needs to have a program that will work on a computer to make designing easier.I did gave difficulties getting my phone to connect to the printer after I designed my work on the very small screen. I used the chat feature on the Brother site and they were able to help me get it connected in order to print.

I have to say one thing about this. But while I do, I am giving Epson the bird. My brother is awesome and you stink like the clothing at Goodwill. But yes, I am very happy with the print quality and price. I went with a remanufactured model because I like to stress myself out I guess and so far so good. Ink lasts forever IMO, at least in comparison to Epson who sold me dry ink and refused to give me refund. I am pretty sure they experiment of live animals too.The printer is perfect for my needs. It's not overly loud or clash with my wallpaper. It is slow but I like the hum.Initial setup is pretty clean and they don't spam so way better company than Epson. May even have real people working there.

I’m thoroughly disappointed with the Brother Sublimation Printer and would not recommend it. Out of the box, the setup process was more complex than anticipated, with unclear instructions and frequent errors. The print quality was inconsistent, with colors often coming out dull or inaccurate, despite multiple attempts at calibration. I experienced frequent paper jams, which disrupted my workflow and wasted a lot of materials. The printer’s software is buggy and doesn’t integrate well with other design programs, making it frustrating to use. The connectivity options were unreliable, causing frequent disconnections and delays. Additionally, the printer is quite noisy during operation, which can be distracting and bothersome. The build quality feels flimsy and not as durable as I expected. The customer support experience was also poor, with slow response times and unhelpful solutions. I faced issues with ink usage, as the cartridges seemed to run out quickly, leading to higher operational costs. The sublimation prints didn’t have the sharp, vibrant quality I was hoping for, making my final products look less professional. The lack of clear troubleshooting guides added to the frustration. The printer’s design is bulky and takes up more space than I anticipated. Overall, this Brother Sublimation Printer has been a letdown in terms of performance, reliability, and ease of use. I regret investing in this product and would advise looking for alternatives.

I was not sure what kind if printer to get for sublimation, I was going to start sublimating and all of the other printers are very expensive, this has a descent price and does the job.It works great so far, colors are brilliant, the only thing to have in mind is that you can only print designs no bigger than 8.5 by 11.5

I am still learning how to create sublimation items but this printer has been a breeze. There has been times where I have to run extra functions to fix small printer issues but has been an easy fix. Had it for a few months now and created a few items (I.e. shirts, hats, mousepad, tumblr, etc.) still going strong on the ink. Functions great. Printer can be sped up but in an effort to obtain the best quality I wait for it to print at its regular speed which is only a few seconds. Print quality has been great, maybe just 1-2 Paper jam's ever experienced but it had to do with the quality of paper used and the loading of the paper. Size is descent.

This is a great sublimation printer...easy to set up and use. I also like that it has a feature that it cleans the jet ink heads on a schedule so that I don't have to worry about the ink drying out in between uses. It does all that I want a small printer to do for sublimation. I'm glad I have it. Works great.
