![]() ![]() We played about with the settings and additionally ticked the vivid box on the “basic tab” and also went for a custom setting on the “advanced tab” going into “colour Settings” and ticking the “Colour Enhancement” box, then increasing density by +1 and brightness by +10. The print was very sharp, although there were slight colour differences from the originally printed Mug. ![]() The image printed perfectly and was then sublimated onto a mug. We set the print settings to Matte paper, photo quality on the “basic tab” and mirror image on the “advanced tab”, we then printed the image. Using Coral Draw we produced an image of a known mug design that we had done for a local company. The print was perfect, all colours present and solid. We placed our dye sublimation transfer paper in the tray and confirmed to proceed with a test print. After 4 or 5 minutes the printer politely requested paper in the paper tray. ![]() So we removed the printer from the box and packaging, plugged it in, set up the printer with standard capacity refillable cartridges, filled with a third party dye sublimation ink that is readily available in the market. We also carry the long-body type cartridges which offer much higher ink volumes per cartridge. With capacities of 30ml of Black and 20ml of each of the colours. The printer also has a fax which is not particularly relevant to the dye Sublimation Printing, just thought we would mention it.Īn immediate benefit of using this printer over other Epson desktop printers in this class, that are available in the market, is the fact that the standard cartridges on the MFC-J5910DW are high capacity cartridges. Inevitably we decided to have a play and conduct some usage trials using the multifunction MFC-J5910DW printer which is an A3 printer and a A4 copy/scanner. We happened to come across an article which indicated that the new Brother printer models were using peizo printheads (As do all Epson Printers) and after a suitable period to assimilate the information, in our case a couple of months, a light came on and we wondered if that meant that Brother printers would work as a good dye sublimation printer? Hold that thought! ![]()
