Temp Sucks
Color: Black, Size: 12"x15" 5 in 1, Color: Black, Size: 12"x15" 5 in 1
I got the 8in 1 inset wad of the 5 in 1 that I had originally ordered. The seller contacted me about because it was the holidays they decided to send me the 8 in 1. I never had any trouble with the mug press before. My temp was 365 for 60 seconds and the burning never happened before. Then I put my cup in and my press started to smoke. The sublimation paper started turning brown and smelling bad. So I turned the temp and time down to 345 for 30 seconds. But when it was time to press it, the temperature went over 500 and started rising. So I turned it off and turned it back on but it did the same thing. I don’t know what to do. I can’t get a refund or even return it. This mug press sucks. Don’t waste your time!!! %%Update%% I can’t do this anymore. This was the replacement they sent me and it already burned my tumbler. I only used 330 for for 30 seconds and after the first turn the paper was brown. Then it started smoking. I can’t keep wasting tumblers on the mug press. My room smells like smoke. This never happened before. I used 6 tumblers in this machine before it started smoking. I’m going to buy another tumbler press. Not from here. &&Update&& They sent me an entirely new machine with attachments. I think the problem was the control box but now I have doubles of everything

First time buyer and I love it
Vibrant Colors and Smooth Printing – Great Sublimation Ink! I’ve been using Hippo Sublimation Ink for a few months now, and I’m really impressed with the quality and performance. I paired it with my converted Epson EcoTank printer, and the setup was super easy. The bottles are clearly labeled, and the no-mess nozzle design makes refilling a breeze. The color output is excellent—bright, bold, and true to what I see on my screen. Reds are vibrant, blacks are deep, and everything prints consistently without streaks or blotching. I’ve used this ink for sublimating on a variety of blanks like mugs, shirts, keychains, and tumblers, and every item has turned out beautifully. Overall, Hippo has become my go-to sublimation ink. Great quality, reliable performance, and affordable for the results you get. Highly recommend it for hobbyists and small business

Great sublimation ink at a great price. Works great in my ET-8550.
I use this Hiipoo sublimation ink with my ET‑8550 for shirts, tumblers, and ceramic mugs, and it’s been great across all of them. The colors come out vibrant and consistent, and the ink flows well through the printer. Getting the color profile dialed in can be a little tricky, but that’s pretty much par for the course with any sublimation setup. Once everything is calibrated, the results look fantastic. For the price, it’s an excellent value. Plenty of ink, reliable performance, and great results on a wide range of blanks. I’ll definitely keep buying it.
