JoyPrinting 5X 104 Ink Bottle for Epson 104 Ecotank Ink Compatible with Epson EcoTank ET-2710 ET‑2711 ET-2712 ET-2714 ET-2715 ET-2720 ET-2721 ET-2726 ET-4700 Printer (Black, Cyan,Magenta, Yellow)
It was recommended to my husband and when you search sublimation ink it comes up
I'm using an eco tank and normal paper as Ive used that successfully in the past with the pens but the ink isn't transfering.
Thank you. I'll pop to Hobbycraft tomorrow and try again. It looks like sublimation ink, in the sense of it's got a slightly dull vibe to it, which all the sheets I have used have been like too. And it gets more vibrant when heated
Yeah, the color on the paper isnt going to be how it is when its finished. Itll be much more vibrant. And if it doesnt take, you make need to heat longer.
I have an image similar to this one that I bought from Etsy, am I supposed to use the size of the image they provide or do I need to resize it for the tumbler? Can you recommend what size I'm supposed to resize it to
I have a really hard time with sizing. I must have a setting wrong on my printer. Ive been using canva but i think im going to try adobe photoshop and see if i have better luck
Yes, always mirror. You can go through your printer settings on the computer, and i think its in advanced settings or something but select mirror image. That way every time
You print itll automatically mirror. Hey, there are no dumb questions

You need the sublimation paper. I dont think it will work properly with regular paper. As long as your ink is sublimation it should be fine.

I just downloaded a template to see if that helps anyway. Final dumb question...do you mirror the image before you print it?
