[@finnconlin5934]

Im just getting into the sublimation / grass roots print of demand game and this was mad informative. Props to ya man respect

[@samanthagodinez1668]

Do you have a video, (if you added the ink the original printer came with so that you can remove the original ink and add the sublimation ink?

[@phyllisgast8357]

Did you ever get an answer? I just did the same exact thing 😢

[@rochesterscrap9406]

All you have to do is add the sublimation ink in place of the ink that comes with the printer once the printer has run inject ink this will not work

[@Chriswald26]

Thank you for this process, I don’t know what I would have thought when buying my printer

[@beejay7120]

Excellent! Thank you so much. I was going nuts trying to figure out how to get sub ink into those tanks. ❤️

[@cato462]

Late to the party, but thanks for this. Was looking for an Epson F170 sub printer (extremely hard to find in the wild) when I realized the ETs are the exact same thing. And these actually go on sale. Thanks again!

[@Spartabells]

do you know if the Epson F170 ink bottles will fit the same way in the ET's?

[@GUMUSTRAINATHLETIC]

Did you get an answer for that question? I have the same question but nobody to have the answer from​@@Spartabells

MOST DEFINITELY very useful info. Thank u. I was wanting to start a small lil project at home doing shirts & stuff for family gifts. ❤

[@54WantingMore]

Thanks friend. I didn't think to just dump the other bottles out and use 😁 Sitting here trying to make a funnel with a piece of pen and a bottle nozzle and have ink everywhere but in the printer lol

[@nj7422]

Great idea to use the bottles for the sublimation ink. Thank you!

[@valriepowell1612]

Thanks for sharing, recently i was going to purchase the hippo sub inc on amazon, the one compatible to the epson in bottles but they are sold out so i had to buy the other hippo sub bottles similar to what you have in your video. I was just about to toss my epson ink out and this was perfect timing i came accross your video. Excellent idea and thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@olwethumaseti8666]

OMG! I should have watch this video first before making a mess. I used syringe and it was a mess. Thank you for sharing

[@creativepoint-222]

How did you emptied the printer ink tank? just how easily you opened the original ink bottle made my day.

[@beejay7120]

Q: when I empty and clean out my Epson ink bottles, there is a little ring of Epson ink at the top of the bottles that I can’t get out. It seems to be caught under an O-ring at the top. Will that few drops cause me a problem??

[@andrewyex]

Same question...Did you wind up finding out?

[@techtinkerin]

Short answer, no

[@kingdmiles]

No

[@TeeTeeTerry2024]

Nope

Hearing that 3D printer in the background 😂😂 That gave me a huge grin

[@susanmanson5810]

I had to return my Epson 2720 printer I had just received, as I got an E 11 error when filling. It turns out the machine was faulty. I have a replacement on the way and cannot wait to get it set up. I am using StarCraft sublimation ink from 143vinyl, They come with the same nozzle as the Epson bottles and are very easy to use.

[@joannecassady1770]

Thank you..Thank you..Thank you! Best help i have had all day, cant wait to start printing

[@Randetroit]

So far so good! have an Epson ET-3600, I still have a couple of old bottles, I'll have to thoroughly rise out between colors. But the old ink that is remaining in the printer, I'll have to tip the printer over my kitchen sink with running water? Right? Thanks!

[@carolineisme3331]

This a year ago. I just got my printer 3850 .mine is already an old model lol thank you for the conversion lesson.

[@aliciabartholomew5871]

Were you able to use sublimation ink ? if so what kind ? I can't find any that is compatible to the 3850 I just bought mine 2 days ago please let me know thank you so much

[@staciwoolf6510]

Is there a way to clean regular in out of the tank to change to sublimation ink?

[@ianaspin5031]

what can you do if you have already filled your Eco tank with Epson ink. how can i change the ink to sublimation. love your video

[@katharinastich5668]

The easiest way is to buy empty tanks. Otherwise you can buy a cleaning kit. If the printer was used with normal ink you defenetly need the cleaning kit (including printheaf cleaning solution) to make sure there is no more ink in the system, if you don't remove all the ink your results may not turn out as they are supposed to...

[@katharinastich5668]

PrintheaD cleaning solution of cause... 🤣

[@mimimo9303]

First of all...THANK YOU. i couldnt find anyyy video that shows from the very beginning...im a visual learning, when they say clean the bottle i was soo blur 🤣

[@MaxsHouse8474]

Oh my gosh!! I seriously should've watched this video before putting in my ink! I just blew up a bottle all over because of the needle they give!

[@lifewithlolalove8904]

So glad I found this video and your channel! Thank you!

[@deonholt]

Thank you for this video. Printer question I am 99% there to start doing sublimation. From what I've read and seen on KZbin, Epson printers are most popular. I just want to make sure: If I buy a brand new Ecotank printer and use sublimation ink from the start, there is no "conversion" needed as it has never used "normal" ink. Am I right? I understand that I break the warranty and so on, but I am, based on your video, that it should work.

[@josevelazquez1342]

I just used the bottle caps. I just did it today then I ran into your video

[@nikkissmallwonders8087]

Can this be done with the ET2803?

[@shamicutsey9393]

Hey. How are you. I bought a Epson sublimation printer. I wasn't told it was a echo ink printer. I was told it was a sublimation printer. I filled the cartages with the different colors of echo ink that come with the Epson printer. I realized the four bottles that came seperately with the bundle reads sublimation ink. What do I do to get the echo friendly ink out of the cartridges so that I can start using what I was originally trying to use in which was the sublimation in rather than the echo friendly ink

[@SweetScentsations6130]

I did the same thing. How do I fix.

[@janellehess994]

@@SweetScentsations6130if you haven’t already figured it out, I did the same thing and i you have to do is flip the printer upside down and the ink will come out.

[@rickytransforma3901]

Thanks for that magnificent video sir🙏🏾

Can you use any sublimation ink or is there certain ones for certain models

6:56 Filling the dye sublimation inks: what if the ink tanks in the printer still contain ordinary Epson ink?

[@medo-dido]

Hello! I have an Epson EcoTank model and i have already used the original Pigment ink included with it, after it almost reaches near the bottom limit of the tank, would it permanently damage my printer if i started to put the newly Dye Ink Mate i bought? or i could just keep printing till it finishes the older ink and it would just start using the new one? Many thanks in advance :)

You don't have to use original bottle. You can cut head of the sublime bottle and use it directly. Or find a flexible hose and put it.

[@rinaltube]

Can the 107 series inks (from the ET-18100 ecotank) be used to refill the 6-color cartridges of the XP-8700? Could this improve color fidelity compared to compatible inks?

[@tinker927]

Thank you I just ruined my 2720 trying to clear a clogged print head. And bought this one as a replacement. :o)

[@twoputt5]

I'm guessing it would be a pain to switch back and forth from sub to regular ink. Is it possible to do regular document printing with sub ink & when doing sublimation, is special paper required?

[@ninalafogg9422]

What if there already printer ink in the tank, how do we clean out along as clean the printer of any other ink before putting in the sub ink ?

I have an HP inkjet and would like to convert it to a sublimation printer. Do I need a new unused print head and how do I get to old ink out of the tanks so I can replace with sublimation ink?

[@fathimfmmfm]

HI, a question. Is the material of the inks different from each other. And the filling inks, or are they all the same material, regardless of the colors. In other words, I can fill in all types of printers. Or is there a difference in the density of the material. I hope to find the answer.
