Our take on the Brother SP-1 W Sublimation Printer

The Brother SP-1 is a desktop dye-sublimation printer for making custom shirts, mugs, tumblers, totes and coasters. It prints designs onto sublimation paper, which you then transfer with a separate heat press. It is driven by Brother's Artspira app, which bundles design tools and a starter library of sublimation artwork. It suits crafters and small makers who want an app-guided workflow; anyone expecting finished products straight out of the printer, or without a heat press, should look elsewhere.

Questions and answers

Do I need a heat press to use it?
Yes. The SP-1 only prints onto sublimation paper; a heat press transfers the design onto the blank. Budget for one before buying.
What can I print on?
Polyester fabrics and sublimation-coated blanks such as mugs, tumblers, coasters and mousepads. Cotton and untreated surfaces will not hold the dye.
Is the Artspira app required?
Yes. Design, editing and print jobs run through Artspira, and the printer and your phone or tablet must share a Wi-Fi network.
How does it compare with a dye-sub inkjet conversion?
It is a purpose-built sublimation machine with an app workflow, so there is no ink-system conversion to manage. Converted inkjets can print larger sheets but need third-party inks and profiles.
What comes in the box?
The printer, starter sublimation paper and setup materials. Blanks and a heat press are not included.
Is it good for a small business?
For small batches of shirts, mugs and gifts, yes. High-volume work is limited by the small sheet size and one-at-a-time heat pressing.
What do buyers say about the Brother SP-1 W Sublimation Printer?
Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 464 ratings.
