Description
Unleash your inner bold and bloom-tiful creativity with the Brother Sublimation Printer. The Brother Sublimation Printer is ideal for any maker, artist or designer, as it allows you to create vibrant designs, patterns, motifs, or decorations using Artspira, Brother’s free editing and design app. Once you design in Artspira, you can quickly transfer your creations to your Sublimation Printer and print high-quality, full-color designs. How does sublimation printing work? Sublimation printing prints your graphic onto a sheet of sublimation paper. Then, you use a heat press to transfer the design from the paper onto your product. Dye sublimation printing is a technique that uses heat to transfer images onto sublimation surfaces like shirts, hats, jackets, awards, mugs, mousepads, home decor, tumblers, and coasters. Create custom projects for birthdays, celebrations, and inviting home decor. With the Brother Sublimation Printer, your imagination, and Artspira, creating personalized pieces in full color with vibrant print quality is fun.

Access the app store, download the app, create an account, and connect your machine. Once in the free Artspira app, you can access over 100 sublimation designs, stylistic photo authentic images, and more! Want to show off your latest custom design?

Don't buy! It don't work.
The app doesn't work. It want let me get past setting up a username in the state I'm in. There's no go forward button or anything. And then on my phone it can't even find the internet on none of your printer apps. This is very discouraging

Love my SP-1/ Brother Sublimation printer
The brother sublimation SP-1 printer is outstanding! I highly recommended it for sublimation artwork. It does 8 1/2 x 11 (full page of paper) and also can go up or down fro there! Amazing- I really love this printer it makes artwork pop. I’m so impressed with the color quality. And the most spectacular thing is that you don’t have to shake the ink. It automatically will print once a week a small test to make sure that all the ink doesn’t get clogged!!! Can’t tell you how much fun and easy this printer is to use!!! Well worth the money!!!

Just don't hit the ink everyday
I have had this for a while, and everyone said to hit the ink every day to make sure it doesn't clog. Well now I have to buy an ink absorber because now I can't use it at all. I only used 3 times, and I loved it but that's expensive. So, it just sits till I get the money so somebody can do fix it for me.

Works great
Once the printer was set up, it prints great and the quality of the sublimation is vivid and detailed. We use mostly for adding details to plushies before sewing them together and it comes out beautiful.

Handy for quick prints!
I like this handy inkjet sublimation printer to a certain extent...meaning, the liquid ink seems to look dry on the print outs whether Sublimation or DTF prints. My printer does calibrate and runs the liquid ink through often with auto-maintenance (I like that) to keep the ink fresh before each use. I've had it for about a month now and still getting used to it. I wanted to purchase an actual DTF printer but they are super expensive. This SP-1 Sublimation Printer by Brother pretty much handles quick tshirt prints should I get an order for family or friends for birthday events, etc. I like it, just wish it wasn't so SLOW printing...

Super Sub !!!!!!
I have used this printer about a dozen times and it has performed perfectly. The colors are true and crisp. Ink levels are always displayed so no danger of running out in the middle of a print. For what little I have used it the levels have not dropped so I feel it's efficient enough for my usage. For the price of this printer I feel its better than converting one that's not designed for sublimation printing due to its automatic maintenance. I did peel all the stickers off which makes it look much cleaner and they do come off easy.

I love this printer!
This printer is an incredible value. The ink cartridges and paper are also reasonably priced. Make sure you use material that is predominantly polyester or your print will be very dull. Sublimation spray helps a little if using cotton or non-white material.

Zero Hassle Set Up
Excellent sublimation printer. Did not want to mess with tricking another printer into being a sublimation printer. Auto clean is the best. No Clogs so far! Not as grand as the high end machine, but it does what I need.

Good for a beginner
Good first printer to have. The screen stopped working the 2nd time i tried it though. They sent me a refurbished machine and have a 2 year warranty. I wish you could do more on the artspira app.
