If you’re looking for a more affordable way to get into sublimation crafting, convert a regular printer instead of buying a sublimation-specific printer. Here is everything you need to know about converting an Epson EcoTank printer for sublimation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sublimation has hit the crafting world and it’s easy to see why! You can make professional level projects like t-shirts, mugs, toes, and more, that are vibrant AND permanent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But…sublimation isn’t an inexpensive craft to take up. From the printer and ink to special paper to poly-coated blanks and a heat press, sublimation can break the bank if you’re not careful. This is even more true if you just want to do sublimation as a hobby, versus running a business where you can recoup some of the costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are ways, however, to make sublimation more affordable! Today I’m going to show you how to convert a regular Epson EcoTank printer for sublimation. To compare, a nice sublimation printer like this Sawgrass SG500 will set you back $699. The printer I am converting—the Epson EcoTank ET-2760<\/a>—is $299 on Amazon, and even cheaper if you can find one at Costco (which is where I got mine for just $229!). That’s a significant savings over buying a sublimation printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be using the Epson ET-2760 for this post, but this tutorial will work for any Epson EcoTank printer. This post is just for the conversion part of sublimation printing—more actual sublimation craft tutorials will be coming soon! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is BY FAR the easiest way to convert a printer, as you’ll see!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
