- Do I need special paper for this printer?
- Yes. It uses sublimation paper, not plain paper, and the transfer only works on polyester fabric or coated blanks with a heat press.
- Can I use regular ink in it?
- No. It is set up for sublimation ink, and switching to standard ink would spoil the sublimation workflow and the transfers.
- What can I make with it?
- Polyester T-shirts, mugs, tumblers, tote bags, mousepads and other coated blanks, as long as you have a heat press for the transfer step.
- Does it print normal documents too?
- It can print on plain paper, but the sublimation ink is meant for transfers, so it is not a good choice as a general office printer.
- How does it compare with a converted EcoTank?
- Converted EcoTank setups hold more ink and take more paper sizes, but this Brother is simpler to set up and has a touchscreen and the Artspira app.
- What comes in the box?
- The printer, 47 ml CMYK sublimation ink bottles and 10 sheets of sublimation paper. A heat press is not included.
- Where is the Brother Sublimation Printer cheapest?
- At Amazon, for $429.99, as of our latest check.
