Converting an Epson EcoTank Printer into a Sublimation Printer: A Step-by-Step Guide

[@lindachristopher5978]

hello from Austin Texas. I am a husband of the crafter. She asked me to watch this to help her. You did a great job, and everything was clear. I have one suggestion. You said when you opened the box and got the original (normal) ink you said to discard or chuck them. They are worth about $50 dollars to someone that has an Epson printer that they use for normal printing. Don't throw them away. Share with a friend that has an Epson. They can give you a few bucks to help you pay for your sublimation ink and put less plastic in the landfill. Very nice and explanatory video! Thank you. Michael

[@AngieHolden]

I actually do understand that. It was more for demonstration purposes as I get many emails from people that put the ink that comes with them inside.

[@roxannhadley2155]

I was thinking the same thing! I have this printer, and I would happily take the cast off ink. : )

[@nancysmith5708]

Angie, this tip helps tremendously. With pliers, my husband removed the tip of the ink containers. We then poured the ink in an unused plastic side cup (throw away). Now the syringes can easily suck in the ink with very few bubbles. It's so much faster than the way you demonstrated on this video. When you're done, pour remaining ink back in the original container and the original lid is still available for storing remaining ink. So easy. I've used my printer and it all works well.

[@wmfuzzymath]

The paper cups made a huge difference!!!

[@colleenwales2579]

Absolutely brilliant … only wish I’d followed your method, Angie … I couldn’t find your inks in the UK) and the ones I bought didn’t have complete hypodermics, just a needle to push onto the top of each bottle (no safeguards such as screwing them in …). Holding 125 ml bottles upside and squeezing them was scary but all went well to the last bit of cyan - I relaxed a little and gave the bottle a final squeeze and WHOOSH! All over the surrounds and my brand new printer - Aggghhhh! Fortunately a bit of water followed by a dry cloth got most of it off … it’s all those little places you can’t get to … No worries, I am undaunted - after all, what else can happen?! Love your videos - we’d all be lost without you.

I emptied the containers that came with the printer and washed them all out (they cleaned out so easy, no residue left at all with just a quick water rinse) lids were never used. I labeled lid first with the color. I then poured the ink into the four bottles, put the correct color lid on each bottle. Each lid is designed to only fit the correct color. I then used the original bottles to fill the tanks. This was so much easier than syringes.

[@AngieHolden]

I am not crazy about rinsing the lids and using them on the new bottles as I didn't want to get water in my sublimation ink. I have no doubt it works but I didn't want to recommend that.

An alternative to filling the tanks is to discard the standard ink, it washes out perfectly with water, then pour the sublimation ink into the Epson ink bottles (be sure to dry them throughly before filling) this way you can fill the tanks much quicker and using the proper method, the tops of the Epson ink bottles simply unscrew.

Sam's Club has parchment paper... two huge rolls for like $15. Cheapest protection paper around.

OK after looking at the printer in the box for five or six months, I watched this video repeatedly and took the plunge. I have my Epson EcoTank now set up and have made several projects with it, I had a few problems with WIFI set up so currently have it "hard wired" to my computer. Problem being I can't see well enough on the printer to enter the WIFI password on that tiny screen. I ran a lot of complicated photos thru the printer and had very little ink drop. My ink jet would have been out of ink. I did notice that Hippo now sells their sublimation ink with the correct tops for Epson so no needles needed now. The quality is excellent. I've done coasters, tshirts, polyester totes and mugs. And it's still fun to peel back the sublimation sheet and see the real vibrant colors on the project.

Yay! Happy to help!

Awesome video!! but please, don't just toss away the original ink that came with the printer, send it to me! There's some of us who need the printer for regular printing too and will happily take your inks if you're not gonna need them :) (I'll even pay for the shipping!)

[@AngieHolden]

I "tossed" it to someone that needed it locally.

30 whole minutes just to add ink into the printer

KZbinrs do this for the money, they have to hit a certain amount of minutes to get money

Hi Angie, your videos are so informative. Thank you so much. Just a little tip I found out after talking to my sister (who is right into sublimation), she emptied the original bottles and rinsed them out. When they were dry, she poured the Hiipoo ink into them and filled the tanks with the bottles. This saved her from using the syringe to fill the tanks. Simple little trick that saves mucking around with the syringes.

[@AngieHolden]

Hiipoo actually has a product that comes in the right bottles now so even easier!

Why would you choose a brand and method that takes a lot longer? No way I’m using this. I’ll buy Cosmos

[@onyxwelborne]

It's really not that big of a deal... she didn't tell you that you HAD to use the same ink she did. Chill.
