Today we're going to set up and playtest a brand new Brother Sublimation Printer. This new sublimation printer just recently came out and this is my first time trying it out.

I got the Brother SP-1 printer for about $400. The main selling point of it is that you can get started right out of the box, as it comes four full-sized sublimation ink cartridges and 10 sheets of sublimation paper, and it works with Artspira, which is a design and crafting app from Brother. It also claims to have fast printing speed, high quality color designs, and a small footprint. Also, it has app support, so you can use this on your phone or tablet in addition to your computer.

Now the Brother Sublimation Printer is a purpose-built sublimation printer, and I think it is most comparable to the Epson F170 or the Sawgrass 500, as it does the same size prints as each one, so that's what we'll be comparing it to as I unbox and set this up. Of the three sublimation printers, the Brother Sublimation Printer is the least expensive -- the Brother SP-1 is $399, the F170 is $449, and the Sawgrass 500 is $574-$624.

Now let's see how hard or easy it is to set this up as I set this up with you LIVE, then test it by printing out my Subliflower and compare it to the Epson F170, Sawgrass 500, and even an Epson EcoTank with Hiipoo ink!

Ink Comparison
Brother Sublimation Ink comes in 47 ML Cartridges and it is $39/cartridge or $143 for a full set -- they are available on Amazon and I've seen them already in stock at my local craft store.
Epson Sublimation Ink comes in 140ML Bottles at $25/bottle or $100 for a full set - these are harder to get, they are not available on Amazon or in stores, you have to order from a specialty shop like HeatTransferWarehouse to get It.
Sawgrass Sublimation Ink comes in 20ML in starter cartridges and 31 ML in standard cartridges and is $80/cartridge, or $300 for full set -- this is pretty easy to get on Amazon and in craft stores
