Absolutely FABULOUS video! We ordered an Epson wf ec-c printer, which I can't find anyone using, yet it is sublimatable apparently. I already ordered A-Sub 13x19 paper, now for the Cosmos ink supplies. I will keep your video on a LOOP and my fingers crossed!!! I just used heat transfers on Cotton, for a project and everything cracked! I learned that lesson early, at least. Thanks so much for your wonderful poise and screen presence. I'll be back for more 🙂

Hi and thank you for your tutorial very helpful and well presented. I have a wf2830 I bought from Wal-Mart for $99 for what I do it's perfect. The only suggestion would be for people like me with uncompetitive hands is to leave the fill plugs in until they are installed. I dropped a cartridge in the compartment and spilled some ink luckily no were to cause damage. I removed the plugs after they were installed. Thank you.

I bought an Epson WF-Pro 4820 and refillable ink cartridges for sublimation ink. The printer will not recognize them no matter what I do. I have taken the cartridges out multiple times, shaken them, to no avail. I can't find a double black cartridge that fits, the one I ordered is too short. I don't know what else to do.
@pharmacist5884 Жыл бұрын
The colored cartridges are auto priming carts, but the black with that round hole has to be primed: that is static air and should be removed. Otherwise massive cleaning cycles are needed to remove the air from the print head. That round hole should be filled with ink after priming.

Hello I'm about to set up my brand me WF 7720. I heard alot of people say if your going to use the printer for sublimation to turn OFF automatic firmware updates and do not update them at any point. Is this for the manufacture ink as well right at the beginning? I am planning to start with manufacturers ink to make sure the printer works before I switch to sublimation. Thanks so much.
@DebbieDoesDesign2 жыл бұрын
I have not turned off firmware updates intentionally on mine so I can let people know if any of them cause issues and so far none of the firmware updates have created any problems for me. If you want to play it safe, it won’t hurt anything to turn them off. But I would at least let it update the very first time as sometimes it needs those updates to function properly during the initial install.

Help... I have the WF-7720... It worked famously for over a year with a CISS system. The unit was moved to my downstairs work area after most of the Covid threat was gone. I started getting print with faded stripes through the text...I went through all the maintenance.... several times over a months time. I CAN'T GET ANY ink through...blank print... Finally gave up on CISS and filled replacement cartridges with sublimation ink. Ran nozzle check...STILL BLANK...NO ink on paper...I even tried the steamed foam method even though I have had it completely apart and was able to force a nice spray through all colors of the print head. I just don't get it! Anyone???

The CISS is a great system, I use one on my 7720 and there's a small learning curve to prime it that manufacturers don't go over. I took a trick out of my automotive clutch bleeding book. You hang the tank somewhere high and fill them up. Let the ink cartridges dangle low and make sure they're nice and straight. Then, one color at a time, use the provided syringe to pull the ink through the bottom of the cartridge. Don't stop when ink starts coming out, get a full syringe worth then put it back in the tank. As long as you don't let the tanks run dry, you shouldn't have any problems. But you're right, the tubing can be very sketchy flying back and forth at a million miles an hour lol, just follow manufacturer directions on securing tubing to your printer.

By the way you can use standard paper to sublimate on the frosted side of that plastic mylar by taping the printed paper face down on it with heat tape and then heat pressing it which you will have to play with to get it how you want but it will make permanent stencils instead of you having to spend an arm and a leg for mylar sheets. I don't know if anyone else does that but it's something i did on my own and it worked!! I didn't print directly to it to try to sublimate it on anything though but hey i had the idea i might try it!!
