An inkjet that prints for a heat press, not for a frame · review
Brother’s compact sublimation printer, driven by the Artspira phone app, with up to 20 saved images, and no desktop version when we read the listing.
Brother builds this around Artspira. That makes the first print easy.
No desktop workflow means no Adobe tools, and no color management to speak of.
Anyone planning a business should look at Epson or Sawgrass.
