Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our sublimation success is on the line: Our sublimation printer forced me to update its firmware and afterward, it no longer accepted our third-party ink cartridges. Because the Sawgrass ink cartridges cost more than $350, we can no longer afford to use the printer. That's why we're asking for a more ecologically friendly Epson Ecotank printer that uses cheaper ink without the expensive cartridges that are so expensive to replace.

This type of printer would give our program a more sustainable way to create personalized t-shirts, mugs, tumblers, bags, and everything else under the sun that we can create using sublimation!

Students enjoy the process of designing in Canva, printing their mirrored design, and then heat pressing it onto a blank sublimation product. In the end, they have an item that they can show off as one of their original designs. Please help keep our program going by contributing to this project!
