Print to Your Epson Sublimation Printer Without Any Other Software!

Did you know you don't need any special design software to print to your Epson sublimation printer?

When you're doing basic sublimation printing to your Epson F570 or F170 you can simply open the image as a preview and print! Read on for the details of one of my favorite printing hacks.


You can save time when printing sublimation images on a Mac by using the image preview!

As long as the Epson sublimation printer drivers are installed this will work.

Start by downloading the sublimation image onto your computer. I used this spring design from So Fontsy. If it's in a zip file unzip it and open the file folder.

Double click the image to open it in the Previewer.

With the image preview open go to File > Print.

Select the Epson sublimation printer from the list and you'll have options there.

Select the paper size and paper source (tray or roll). Make sure to mirror the image by checking the box and then you're ready to print!

It's literally that easy. 


You can even batch print multiple copies of the same design, increase the number of copies on the page and adjust the image sizing all within the preview as well.
