FINALLY! A Quality guy who can explain everything in detail to be understood. I have probably watched 50 videos on this topic, and this is the only one that shows the process so that I feel comfortable performing this task. Thank you so much!

I'm the one who asked about the red skin tones. I will be buying the dpi ink as soon as I can afford it. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into answering our questions and solving our problems.

I just bought a canon maxify gx3020 and thought the ink that came with it was ok to use for sublimation. I watched your video...very helpful but not sure this transfer will work for this printer? How do a refill the ink filler containers with your ink? This is all much more complicated than I anticipated. I love your clocks! Wow!

Unfortunately I am not familiar with what your options might be in the UK.

Any advice on what to do if the ink won't come out of one of the tanks? I did everything you did in the video and it worked on all of them except magenta.

@TroyTube 3 ай бұрын

If you're trying to draw it though with a syringe, make sure the tank is open where you put ink in it to allow air through.

@saj8962 3 ай бұрын

I did. The others all worked fine, but magenta is really hard to pull, and nothing goes into the syringe.

There's a chance it was. I bought it from someone else used.

@TroyTube 3 ай бұрын

@@saj8962 that is likely the issue. You might be able to disconnect the damper from the line to narrow down the clog. Might get messy.

the ink u take out if u want to keep it can u reuse it? if u put it in a closed container

The purpose of swapping it out is to get rid of trash ink and use our Premium ink.

Hi. I bought an epson 8550 eco tank wide format printer and use silhouette studio. The ink I bought is cosmos and the reds are rust and I never could find a way to tweak it (no ICC profile for this program is available with this ink) where the colors are vibrant and true using this program. Apparently the program is the problem (?) but I bought the pro version and have a lot of files in it for other use and really want to use it if possible. My black is black, not brown (though a little faded right out of the gate) and red is not over saturated-it’s not a true red at all, more of a rust. No pink - just peach. Very disappointing, since red is my favorite color, and i put my brand new amazing machine away, defeated. It’s been sitting unused for over a year. It’s a wonderful huge machine my hubby went to great lengths to find. (it prints 11x17). Does your ink work well with the silhouette studio program?

@TroyTube Жыл бұрын

It's likely a combination of things, mostly the red pigment issue and sounds like colors are far out of balance. ICC profiles should only be really needed to ensure color accuracy, so if you make 100 keychains for a company and six months later they want more, you can ensure the accuracy of the colors across ink batches, etc. It's also matched to the paper. In normal printing if the colors are properly balanced the colors will be correct and photorealistic. This can't be really disputed because when you buy ANY regular inkjet printer, there are no adjustments required to produce accurate color prints across even different media types. The printer is going to print whatever it's given by the software such as Silhouette Studio, so the use of program doesn't factor in across printers. Hope that makes sense.

Did you find a solution to the colors not printing properly? I have the same printer with the same ink and the same issues. I just started my sublimation journey and to have these results has me a bit disappointed.

How many fills can I get from your sublimation ink.

@TroyTube Жыл бұрын

The same amount as pretty much every other ink except that our ink is designed with the correct viscosity for Epson printers which ultimately reduces waste, reduces chances for clogs that requires waste from cleanings, etc. There's a general rule of thumb that says a set of 140ml set of inks yields about 500 pages but pages printed depends on the amount of ink used per print the answer to that question is a moving target.

@MrShawnee1 Жыл бұрын

@@TroyTube I'm new to sublimation and I bought a 250 ml bottles 6 months ago and I'm having trouble with the magenta so I'm taking it out and I need new ink but i don't know how many fills I would get out of a smaller bottle.

@TroyTube Жыл бұрын

@@MrShawnee1My apologies, I misread your question and thought you asked how many prints. Filling the tanks overall breaks down into two sizes. Most printers have either 4 smaller tanks or a larger black and three small ones for the colors. The smaller ones are 70ml and the larger tank is 140ml. For example, the ET-2800 has four small tanks and the ET-15000 has the larger black tank. If you google the model numbers you can see pictures of them.
