ugh I have been fighting mine for 2 days, literally days behind on projects UGH UGH THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for this video to walk me thru will your positivity and GO for me to not feel alone!!!! And now i can get to work!

[@kimivey285]

I have an EpsoN WF 7720. You may know this by now, but when you switch over to sublimation ink, the printer won’t read the levels. So they may show full and they really aren’t. So you just have to check periodically on your own. Don’t rely on the ink levels. They aren’t accurate. I got this information from Angelo Bonaparte from Cosmos Ink. Hope that helps. Love your channel. You’re so personable and relatable. God bless! 💜

[@katrinasgracefulcreations3711]

It use to but I guess it’s not anymore. Thanks.

[@destinationstudios-thediyh4941]

Good explanation. And if you want to unlock the print head (and cartridges) from its position here is the tip. Turn on the printer and while it is in the middle of the print head cycle, remove the power cable and this will keep the print head unlocked, you can then freely move the print head with your hand.

[@katrinasgracefulcreations3711]

Awesome thanks

[@bethclaire9454]

Thank you so much! This was a great video and I love your info and the pace you keep. Also, THANK YOU for keeping that blooper in there! Reminds us all that everyone makes mistakes!

I was yelling at the screen for you to put the needle thru the foil. Lol. Glad your counter is not damaged. Thank you for your amazing videos

[@katrinasgracefulcreations3711]

Yeah normally I do but the ink was way too low in that first bottle. A mess everywhere. Lol.

[@goat5745]

Thank you for this video. I spent weeks trying to figure out why my printer wouldn't print anything green. Doing this technique cleared the cartridge causing the blockage and now I'm back to printing.

[@katrinasgracefulcreations3711]

Awesome. Glad to help!

[@albasuriel2405]

It really helped me! I had about 2 weeks struggling with my printer and I thought I had to buy a new one, or send it to repair center. Thank you for the video!!

[@2kreative1]

Sis...thanks for sharing. You inspire me to one day do the same. When you had the mishap, it did something to me. It helped to make me feel comfortable as a veteran to make mistakes. I feel that the printer deliberately messes up when it asks if we want to continue using the ink.

[@khalinikrafts3649]

[@omayraministry]

this happen to me yesterday with my ecotank et15000. I wasted 4 hours frustrated. To find out that the problem wasn’t the printer. The issue was the sillouhette software everytime an update happens. It glitches the print colors. Also instead of print head cleaning, purge a epson file it will clean lines without you having to then get a maintenance tank.

[@sew1derful1]

Thank you so much for this video!! I was about to give up on my printer and the other videos I watched were not helping.

[@irpat54]

I feel your pain, I just went through the streaking, with me for some reason my red would just streak, and my black would print at all. come to find out with my black I had to prime the cartridge, and then it started to print, with my red, I had to run the head cleaner about fifty time...lol and it straightened out...

[@katrinasgracefulcreations3711]

Wow. 50. That took patience.

[@evansja28]

How do you prime the cartridge? My black won’t print at all 😼

[@nancyeaguiar]

You can move the ink box over easily but starting a print and stopping it mid way by opening the top. Since it is mid print, the ink box will be loose.
