For anyone wondering. It is easy to convert this printer into a sublimation printer if it’s brand new, out of the box, with no ink already installed. There are sublimation inks you can get specifically for this printer. They come in the same type of bottles Epson provides so then you can fill the tanks as normal. If you bought sublimation inks that didn’t come in those Epson type bottles - Just dump out the Epson inks from the OEM bottles that came with your printer. Wash the bottles good. Wait until it’s fully dry. Then pour the sublimation inks into those bottle and fill the tanks as normal. No need to use syringes. If you already have this printer filled with non sublimation ink and want to convert it into a sublimation printer. - That’s where it’s a bit more difficult because you’d have to do an ink flush. Tedious, but do-able. Hope that helps someone.

So the main thing with an ecotank printer is it either needs to be regular copy paper ink or sublimation ink, it can not be both.

Mixing the standard epson ink and sublimation inks will ruin the printer.

@dunk81573 жыл бұрын
Photo paper gives the best quality and looks like photos from a lab, gloss or satin or matt whatever you like, and generic non epson papers are usually fine too. Use the photo paper setting in the driver as that makes the printer squirt more ink onto the paper giving bolder colours, which the photo paper can soak up unlike cheap copier paper. For something cheaper you can look for a paper that is coated, usually the packaging says something like bright white coated, sometimes the brand of coating is something like colour-lok, its often sold in packs of 100 to 250 sheets. Slightly thicker than copier paper at about 100 to 200gsm it has a nice surface for printing on. The higher the gsm the better the quality feel to it, but make sure its not to thick for your printer. I would think 120-150gsm would be a good starting point. (we use grams per square metre here in the UK but I'm sure you can convert to US with google)

Since you say that the scanning isn’t wireless (printer to phone) is there a USB cord included in the package for that?

Loved this printer and now if there's an image on a document, it's printing the entire picture in black. Another example, if it's a copied excel table, it prints the entire image in black as well. The help desk wants me to run all the maintenance. Have you heard of this problem or have any suggestions?

On my old epson printer there is a slider in the drivers settings to adjust print density, how much ink is applied. You have to have paper that can soak up the ink if you set it higher ie thicker paper, thin paper will wrinkle and get wet, the photo paper setting automatically sets the print density to high.

Really appreciate your review on this product. But I’m struggling why you are scanning a printed photo on plain paper, technically creating a second generation photo from that. Comparing quality with that second print doesn’t make sense. Working in photo labs, that isn’t something we would ever do and I’m not understanding the purpose. But thanks for sharing!

For plain paper the photos are decent. I am definately planning on purchasinbg one of these. The scanning is definately off, but I plan to use it 100 percent for printing purposes. I already have a good all in one for scanning and faxing, so the scanning would not be needed for this one. I wish they would make one for only one purpose, which is printing, which would make it potentially cost less. That is all I would need it for.

i have tried to print a pdf both sides of the page for a booklet, side binded. I found there was no way to get it to print a full page from this pdf for double sided, it only makes those half page things that make you fold the pages in half to make a small booklet. any ides to get a douible sided print, full page from a pdf? just try it on the first 6 pages or so and you will see what I mean. No matter what it shows you in the preview, it onl y prints that small half page. thanks

So, "borderless" is a printing software feature, not a printer feature. Look for it as an option whatever program/window you're printing from. Hope that helps.
