Cori, thanks for sharing. I am going to check if mine is set up correctly with my Mac Monterey 12.4. If I find it is set up incorrectly do I have to delete the incorrect drivers and then install the new ones? Also when I filled the tanks, I used the whole bottle of the black and the tank was a little over half filled. The black tank looks larger when you look at the front of the printer. Did you find that to be true? Do you know if you have to do anything special to add more ink to the tanks, or can you just add the ink? Thank you.
@HeyLetsMakeStuff2 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can delete the printer entirely from your Mac, and reinstall it with the correct drivers. And yes the black tank is larger. I just add more ink when it’s needed! Usually when the tank gets to about 1/4 full. Hope that helps!
@keimyfigueroa52333 ай бұрын
Hi 👋🏻 so anytime the tank is empty I can fill up with regular ink ? Or I can still use the sublimation ink for my regular stuff?

Honestly, the EcoTanks are pretty much all the same -- you don't need a fancy one because the higher the price means it comes with copying and scanning and all that. You'll need a program to print from your iPad, but there are a few that will work!

For the dull color, have you pressed the file? You'll only see the actual color once it's pressed. For the lines, turn off bi-directional or fast printing and choose "high" or "best" for the quality.
