How To Remove Ink From A ECOTANK Printer (Columbia, SC)

[@LauraAmbro-l2d]

Thank you so much. I just had to replace my ET-2760, and I had JUST refilled all the ink tanks. Face palm. So now at least I'm not losing all that ink! I appreciate you taking the time to share this.

[@theblanksspot]

You’re more than welcome hun! 😊

[@dianeabernathy5329]

Out of all the videos of removing ink from an ET printer, yours is the easy and simple. Thank you!!

[@theblanksspot]

Thank you! I’m glad we could help.

[@yearofthedragontarot9691]

Thank you. I was so excited to use my new printer, I used the regular ink in the blue tank, before I realized it was the wrong one, not the sublimination ink. Thank you for doing this, I really appreciate it.

[@theblanksspot]

You're welcome. Thanks for visiting.

[@karenbenson9531]

Dee thank you so much for this video. I followed your video and easily removed the sublimation ink from my Ecotank and changed it back to a regular printer!!!

[@theblanksspot]

Hi Karen, awesome! You're welcome. So glad it helped. 🥰

[@brendanichols9067]

Thank you. I followed another video to turn it upside down to drain back in bottle. WELL! Got black everywhere but for other 3 colors your video was the easiest and worked fine.

[@theblanksspot]

Awesome thanks for visiting and glad it worked for you.

[@shugstobin7331]

This helped me tremendously bc ink ain't cheap! Thanks so much.😊

[@theblanksspot]

You're welcome

[@rainoftranquility7735]

thank you so much for this video. i was going crazy trying to figure out how to remove the ink form my ecotank 3850. Like you, I am not really happy with this printer. I am going back to my other printers. I may purchase the canon mx 922 next.

[@theblanksspot]

Thanks for watching. You're welcome

[@Pretear521]

Just to clarify, we dont need to do a flush afterwards? I have original inks in the printer that I want to switch to Pigment ink. Thank you!

[@NY2AZSandy]

Glad I found you ! Thank you - this was so helpful!

[@theblanksspot]

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful.

[@benjaminliptonjr9329]

Thank you so much! this helped me big time with my et-3760!! which is the model of the workforce you suggest has better color variations?

[@theblanksspot]

Glad it helped

[@SachinSawe]

Thank You 🙏 This is very useful!!

[@theblanksspot]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@shelbystaysfly]

Thank you! You made it were I can even do this! Best video I've seen and easiest to understand!

[@theblanksspot]

You’re welcome! Glad you found it helpful

[@annettebecker9719]

Do you have to flush the tanks after, I am also going to switch my eco tank back to a regular printer.

[@theblanksspot]

Hi, No you should be ok because you are going back to regular ink.

[@christinewise8555]

Following the steps on your video but let’s say you we’re just wanting to put a different brand of sublimation ink into your ecotank would you want to do a flush after? If so, what would you recommend using? This is what I’m trying to accomplish and I’m honestly having the hardest time finding a straight answer or getting any help on it from anyone, your video is super easy and helpful but now just don’t know whether to flush after or not before putting the new ink in. Appreciate any help or advice.

[@kaylakirkham1336]

Thank You So Much!! You gave Me Exactly what I was looking for!!!❤

[@connieantal9272]

How do you purge?

[@feliciavallejo6703]

What info haven’t used it yet and it’s all just sitting in the tank. Haha. I accidentally put it in the wrong tank. This is still the only way to get the color out I’m assuming?

[@aidagomez2655]

Guys, I bought a few 11 oz mug boxes from you, but I need the digital version to be able to edit them.

[@noavailablename17]

Can this technique be used for the Epson Eco tank 2850?

[@cheritucker2604]

Where and what size syringe

[@cnmgonzalez]

I was gifted a used Epson ET-4760, but it has regular Epson 502 ink. If I empty it out like you shared here, do you think I can then convert it and add the sublimation ink? TYIA!!

[@theblanksspot]

Hi, thanks for viewing. Yes you can...

[@jenntaylor1138]

Thanks! this is exactly what I was looking for. I am also converting my Epson ET 3760 from sublimation to regular ink jet... how is your Epson working for you now that it's an inkjet printer again? any problems or further tips for the conversion?

[@theblanksspot]

Since converting back to pigment printer, I’ve not had any problems. Recommend you continue to print on regular basis and conduct periodic maintenance ie; nozzle checks if not printing properly & print head cleanings not too many though (ONLY IF NECESSARY)

[@dinacasanova9074]

After watching a lot of videos last night and laughing when they suggested turning the printer upside down! I thought to myself, there's gotta be an easier and cleaner way to empty the tank. This morning when I turned on youtube and watched your video. I saw how easy you took out the ink with minimum mess. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 😊

[@Graceandfiredesignz]

Would you happen to have one on the epson ecotank et15000. As I want to change to another sublimation ink. But don’t know how. Can you tell us how?

[@PromezQueen]

I have a 15000 so you know I can do it I’m trying to save it and use it as a regular printer because eco solvent didn’t work and it was printing good

[@bellebereznay8845]

I am so glad I found this video. I was having the same issues with color correction and decided to switch back. I removed the black no problem, but the syringe was too big for the tubes of other three. Voila you showed me differently. Thank you. When you need ink for the WF where do you get from?

[@theblanksspot]

I’m so glad you found value. We have our own signature ink. theblanksspot.com/collections/sublimation-ink-and-cartridges

[@bellebereznay8845]

I just checked you website and the only ones in stock are without chips. Anyway to please let me know when with chips or chips only are back in stock?

[@infntry4life1]

I've tried pulling the ink from the cartridge, but it does not seem to work like your printer cartridges. I have an et-15000 please advise. Thanks in advance

[@bryceo6937]

I’m trying to do the same for a 15000. Have you had any luck? I just want to switch inks though, not convert it back.

[@infntry4life1]

@@bryceo6937 no luck at all and I've tried everything except taken the printer completely apart

[@bryceo6937]

@@infntry4life1 I was actually able to get it done with mine. Well my husband did it for me. A few parts have to be unscrewed for the cartridge to come out. I’m so glad I changed inks because that printers jack I was using, was garbage.

[@infntry4life1]

@@bryceo6937 I found all of the screws to get the carts out, but for some reason it still wouldn't come out, so I put all the parts back into the printer and ran a print alignment to get the ink flowing through the tubes and I was able to disassemble the printer again and got it to work out

[@shavonna41]

@@bryceo6937 hey can tell me how he did it I need ink out like yesterday 😩

[@wilstarkey4418]

Hi and thank you for doing such a great job on this video I have watched a few other people but sure of them. I watched yours and did mine in one hour. I'm putting sublimation ink in it now. I'll send a follow-up tomorrow thank you so much and by the way mine is a et2830

[@theblanksspot]

You're welcome! Glad you found some value in the video 😁🤗. Happy Subbing 😊.

[@mnkelley84]

This is the same thing I did. I want to use my eco tank 2800 for sublimation but I mistakenly put the ink that came with the printer in it. This is helpful so I pray it works for me.

[@teresasdaisy]

Is that the epsom et-15000 printer ?

[@theblanksspot]

No, this is a 3700 series

[@mr3212012]

​@@theblanksspot hi can i do this on et 15000epson i made a mistake on putting blue in the black

[@monica042]

Do you know how to remove from ET-2803?

[@mariaha889]

I unscrewed all the 3 but the left hand corner has this clip and it isn’t allowing me to open my printer all the way just half way making it really hard for me to take out the ink :( how do I fix that?

[@theblanksspot]

Which printer do you have?

[@wilstarkey4418]

Hi last night I watched this video and was able to empty my et3820 because I was a dummy still am but I need help getting the ink to flow again any ideas I HOPE Thanks 😊

[@cherishcartwright8396]

Did you find a fix?

[@alaysiawilliams6564]

when i first got my printer it was printing blank pages so i went to the settings and cleaned the print head and it starting printing

[@candacehopkins1197]

Can you do a video to show how you get to that point

[@craftingwithmama843]

But how do you get to that point?

[@escapedgoat5865]

Your amazing

[@ssbetties]

It would have been great to show steps on what exactly you removed to get there. Camera position is also not the best. Thanks for sharing that it could be done.

[@theblanksspot]

Well, thank you for the constructive criticism. We researched a video to complete the process and then thought we’d share what we did. Things are not never perfect and we can all improve. Hopefully this non perfect video can inspire someone to do their own research and create their own video to aid and assist someone else. Have a better than amazing day 🥰🥰

[@lamarliggons1402]

Literally just changed the ink on my ET-15000 using this video thanks alot… now let’s hope this helps with dullness it’s been printing 😩

[@shanekabracey1391]

I removed all the ink, refilled it with sub ink and now it’s printing blank pages, please help

[@cherishcartwright8396]

Did you find a fix?

[@alaysiawilliams6564]

clean the print head

[@mayrarodriguez8488]

Omg I put sublimation ink on mine and just bought it 😢, now $243 down the drain

[@GyspySoul]

I have the 16600 and I'm trying to change the ink but it ain't working. I'm only pulling out air. Only reason I'm changing is cuz my black ran out and I want to try a new ink brand.

[@theblanksspot]

Hmmm should be the same process. However, I haven't tried this printer ....Make sure you are pulling from the correct tube..

[@GyspySoul]

@@theblanksspot Is there a way to send you pictures? Maybe talk more private?

[@robbiejames6778]

You keep repeating "cartridges" and that "EcoTanks do have cartridges". No they don't! SMH!! Those are Dampers, not cartridges. Cartridges have hard solid sides all the way around, are easily removable, many have chips and of course fill and air holes. Dampers have very thin flexible film on the sides, are easily damaged, are part of the ink delivery system and not meant to be removed often. You would have been better off just sticking to the ink removal instead of trying to make educated people sound stupid! LOL!!
