Our take on the Brother SP-1 Sublimation Printer & Ink Base Bundle

The Brother SP-1 is a compact desktop sublimation printer for making full-color transfers onto polyester shirts, tote bags, mugs, tumblers and coasters. It ships with a full set of 47ml CMYK sublimation ink cartridges and 10 sheets of Brother sublimation paper, so it can print right away. It pairs with Brother's Artspira app for design and project guidance. Against converted inkjet sublimation setups, it is a purpose-built unit with vendor inks and a single support path; against larger wide-format sublimation printers, it trades output width and speed for a small footprint. It suits crafters and small-shop sellers doing apparel and hard-goods personalization rather than high-volume production.

About the Brother SP-1 Sublimation Printer & Ink Base Bundle

The Brother SP-1 is a compact desktop sublimation printer. It prints full-color designs that are heat-transferred onto light-colored polyester fabrics (65% or higher polyester) and polymer-coated items. Examples include t-shirts, tote bags, ceramic mugs, metal tumblers and coasters. A heat press is required to transfer the designs.

It uses Brother Genuine Ink, which produces virtually smudge- and smear-free prints. It prints at up to 1,200 x 2,400 dpi, in either Quality Mode or Speed Mode. An automatic print head cleaning feature reduces maintenance and helps prevent clogs, even after long periods of inactivity.

Designs are created in the free Artspira app, which includes over 100 sublimation designs, templates, fonts and editing tools. The app has AR functionality and image conversion tools. Designs can be sent wirelessly to the printer from a phone, tablet or desktop.

Questions and answers

What can the SP-1 print on?
Sublimation transfers bond to polyester fabric and polymer-coated hard blanks such as ceramic mugs, metal tumblers and coasters. It does not work on untreated cotton or uncoated surfaces.
Do I need a heat press?
Yes. The printer produces the transfer; a heat press or mug press applies it to the blank. The bundle covers printing supplies, not pressing equipment.
What comes in the box?
The printer, a full set of 47ml CMYK Brother Genuine sublimation ink cartridges, and 10 sheets of Brother sublimation paper.
How is it different from converting an inkjet to sublimation?
It is built for sublimation ink from the start, with Brother's own cartridges and Artspira app support, so there is no third-party ink or profile setup to manage.
Does it work with the Artspira app?
Yes. The SP-1 integrates with Brother's Artspira app for designs and project ideas, alongside standard print workflows.
Is it good for a small business?
It fits short-run personalized goods and samples. High-volume production is better served by wider, faster sublimation printers.
Where is the Brother SP-1 Sublimation Printer & Ink Base Bundle cheapest?
At Swing Design, for $429.99, as of our latest check.
