Thank you so much for this video. I attempted to fill my printer with the syringes. After about 3 syringes of black that were not even full, I washed out the ink caps that came with the machine and filled it that way. Thank God for KZbin!

[@antennasbc]

I know it's an older video, but thanks for making it! I emptied the Epson bottles and filled them with the Hiipoo ink and filled that way. Worked a treat.

[@OG_Beckie_Leigh]

My printer and ink came yesterday, but I was too tired to get it setup. I’m hoping to get it done today. Your videos are such an awesome resource for me. Thank you so much!

[@QuickSPI]

You can do it!

[@Darkside_shorts]

Thank you for this. I was contemplating on removing my whole ink tank before I watched your video ❤

[@ashbabes8544]

Thank you!! I was about to say screw it!! The syringe did not work so to see I could use the cap truly helped!!

[@QuickSPI]

That is so great it worked out for you!

[@user-gz6ci4pi6q]

I enjoyed watching this video. Being new to sublimation, this video taught me a great deal.

[@dottyearnhardt9600]

You are a great instructor, thanks.

[@QuickSPI]

I appreciate that!

[@arronspradlin5132]

I have an eco tank printer i just converted to sub and i have a really dumb question and a really good hack Question: do i load sub paper with blue side up as it looks like it loads from a tray on the bottom and comes out from the middle? Hack: dont use the plunger for syringe put needle and syringe in the opening and just squirt the ink in and it will drain itself without overflow.

[@hand4art]

Thank you so much for share about solution

[@CaliforniaMist]

Thank you

[@harleytaz1975]

For those of us stuck with the syringes this time, can the syringes be cleaned and reused? What would be the process?

[@CibetLopez]

Thanks for showing

[@GoodMan-bv8cu]

Can you add canon ecotank printer ink to it instead of its own ink? Technically the ink is all the same right?

[@trixmydog2]

My hiipoo ink came with syringes. When i need to refill can i change to hiipoo ink, refillable bottle..will it cause issues if its the same brand?

[@susiepitts7995]

Thank God I found your video!! You kept me from having probably a BIG MESS!! My printer came & I had ink BUT it was not the ones that fit on Epson. I dumped the ink that came with the printer & put my sublimation ink in them after cleaning them well. What a relief! I really enjoyed your video & you certainly saved a big mess here! lol Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

[@QuickSPI]

Hi Susie! I'm so glad the video was helpful. That's great! All the best.

[@hobbytimewithpapadan8436]

Can the different kinds of sublimation ink be mixed together? I’m using cosmo ink but if I found hippo on sale can they be mixed together?

[@QuickSPI]

I have never mixed cosmos with another. Not that I wouldn't try...it's just that we have 2 dedicated printers with cosmos and we keep topping them off with cosmos. We interchange PJ and Hiippoo without issue.

[@lepat63]

thank you !!

[@mariaterranova1570]

I got a new epson 15000 and am trying to use the hiipoo ink. I can’t get my colors to print correctly no matter how I print it. I also downloaded the hiipoo profile. Is there anything else I can do to figure this out?

[@robertgardner6124]

What is the difference between Epson ink and sublimation ink

[@CatsPurrfect]

I have the Epson art-2803 printer --Can I use 8.5x14 inch printer paper??💙🙌💙🙌

[@QuickSPI]

Yes!

[@StarsHallow]

Thank you so much first of all for being such for making these videos. I have tried everything to get my ET-2720 to charge after I added my ink. I've tried everything from your first video and no matter how many times I've held the ? mark down for 5 seconds or longer but I cannot get the ink to go from my filled tanks into the hoses. I also own an ET-4700 and never experienced this problem before. I also have let it set for 24 hrs after adding the ink. I have tried resetting the printer back to default settings. My ET-2720 is brand new so this is the first time I've ever tried to add ink into the printer. I've even tried to set up the printer with the DVD and have it charge through the setup in the software part and I'm getting no where. It will go through all the printer motions for trying to clean the heads, test print, everything, and it still won't print. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for me. I don't want to return this will my tanks full of sub. ink. I could try to syringe it out all out I guess. I'm just baffled since I already own the ET-4700 and my daughter also owns this same printer I have and didn't have any trouble getting hers to charge. SO FRUSTRATED right now.... Thanks in Advance to anyone who may have any troubleshooting suggestions.

[@QuickSPI]

So sad this is happening. We once had a regular printer that would not charge any of the colors. We called epson and went through a bunch of steps. They sent out a new printer. In our case, they could verify something was wrong based on these steps.

[@valeriedeal5358]

I have an Epson 2720 for my regular printer and bought a 2760 for sublimation. Is it okay to just transfer the regular ink into the bottles for the 2720 and pour the Hiipoo ink into the empty 2760 bottles?

[@techtraveler1365]

I have Epson Et-2803, already put in Hiippo sublimation ink. I’m not very happy because I found after print out. It’s all not match colors from computer. I’m very disappointed!

[@GonzoEF]

What’s that have to do with the ink? 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

[@veeram5398]

When I try to refill the blue ink it doesn't go into the tank this is the second time it's happened 😢 had to get rid of the first one cause the black wouldn't refill it seems to be clogged any suggestions? 😮

[@stephenfellows5108]

Any luck on this. Won’t let me refill any of my inks

[@blancaguerrero98]

Thank you so much for such informative videos. Once you top off your ink is there another step you need to do. Like would I have to reset my ink?

[@QuickSPI]

You shouldn't have to.

[@jayjohnston9132]

I'm trying to refill my black ink (maintenance log shows 2/3 full but visual looks empty). I have Epson bottles (2720) but the black ink does not flow when the bottle is inserted. I'm worried that the ink fell below the low level - any suggestions?

[@QuickSPI]

Is your bottle cap clogged?

[@laurasobczak7741]

Thank you for this video! I bought the syringe kind. I don't have the patience for that so I got the Hiippo brand. It doesn't matter when you mix the brand of ink as long as its the correct colors, correct?

[@ivettecruz7768]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@spolanchek1020]

HobbyTime, I would like to know this as well.

[@alakaolushola5556]

Hello thanks for all your teaching please help am very new to sublimation printing thanks One of your video explain how to set et-2720 for sublimation Please i followed it and i set it But i don't know how to use it My questions ,when i select any of this settings should I still need to mirror my image e.g numbers in my design? Or the pinter will automatically mirror it. From the 4 setting No one is for numbers or letters mirrored . I try mirror number in my design it comes out not mirror, i tried leave unmarried thinking as i choose mirrored settings it will mirror but not .please help me.

[@QuickSPI]

If you set it up in the print settings to mirror, then you don't have to ask your design program to mirror. If you do, then you will be essentially, "voiding" the mirror. When you want to use one of the settings, simply go into the print menu and click the option you want out of the 4 that we set up. Hope this helps.

[@alakaolushola5556]

@@QuickSPI thanks so much it help me 🤗

[@LMC-jk2yp]

I wonder why Hiipoo doesn't sell the sublimation colour inks separately?

[@QuickSPI]

being an amazon seller, it's probably because amazon fees eat into profits and it's really hard to sell low priced items.

[@bathtimeboutique2594]

What kind of sublimation paper do you recommend?

[@QuickSPI]

We like ASub - you can read about weight differences here: quickspi.com/uncategorized/best-sublimation-paper-for-epson-105g-120g-vs-125g/

[@StarsHallow]

@@QuickSPI Printer Jacks sub paper is extremely thick and gets jammed inside their Epson's causing a huge mess. I've also read where several people suggested ASub and that's the paper I purchased I just unfortunately can't tell if its any good or not since my printer will not charge.
