Easy quick way to remove ink from my Epson Ecotank for sublimation!

I got my new printer to use for sublimation and quickly added the ink that was included to the tanks not realizing that for sublimation a special ink was needed. I saw a lot of videos on removing the ink but they involved taking apart the printer or dumping it over. That sounded messy so this video shows you what I did! Hope it helps!

OMG, thank you! I picked your video because it was 3 minutes long. BEST IDEA and results without a 45 minute video and taking the printer apart.

I used the same ink bottle that I used to fill the wrong ink flipped my printer upside down and a good amount of ink came out. Thanks for this video

I just did it with straws and it worked perfect

You should also run the "power clean" option in the maintenance options. That will empty all the old ink that is still in the tubes and Printheads.

I made the same mistake and thank you for this video. It worked and there was no mess. We did have to print off about a hundred colorfill circles on plain paper to get the rest of the inkjet out of the tubes, but after that it works great! Again thank you for the video!!!!

I also taped the sides of the plastic freezer bag to the printer before turning it over to make sure it didnt slip off as the ink was draining into it.

I bought those mechanical pencils from the family dollar store with the black tube that is attached and it fits perfectly. I just pulled off the top of the pencil where the eraser is attached and pulled the little piece that hold the lead off on the opposite end then cut off that end of the pencil holder with scissors because the hole is smaller. Slide the black tube down pencil case then taped around it just to make sure it was secure when the ink began to drain out. I put each one in place over the nozzles then sealed the freezer bag and turned over the printer. I would suggest tapping the bag to the printer before turning it over just to make sure it doesn’t slip off while the ink is pouring out and it took two of us to do it. My printer works great however we did run about a hundred colorful images to get the rest of the inkjet ink out before we could use it for sublimation printing.

@WevolveWithTzima Was the black tubing you're referring to, the rubber grip on the outside of the pencil casing? I need to do this today, and I want to make sure I'm using the right stuff. Thanks!

@WevolveWithTzima 23 дня назад

@@DarklLisa wish I took a picture c but you just wanna make sure it’s snug over the nozzle where the ink is gonna pour out but even once you empty the ink you will still have to run about a hundred sheets with some colors just to get it out the line so I did large circle in publisher of the colors black magenta blue cyan etc eventually it will start print the sublimation ink 😀

This is brilliant. Had to remove pigment ink from my 2800 b/c it started getting some phantom paper jam error and I bought another 2800 with the intention of switching them and then returning the defective one. Used clear tubing I had. Used a phillips head and heat gun to widen the tube hole, and then connected it and drained it directly back into the pigment bottles. Rinsed and reused the same tube. Took like 5 minutes, can't believe how easy it was. Thanks for this video!

I have a used epson with espon ink. Just curious can i just use up all the ink and then add in sublimation ink?

@nellykarpinski799 29 дней назад

I totally made this mistake. I removed the ink and then added the sublimation. However, my sublimation won't transfer? I am using sublimation mugs and paper. I have an Epson ET2800. Did you come across any issues with sublimation?

@itszee955 Месяц назад

Nice to know, im not the only one that made this mistake 😅

@lgnrome Месяц назад

How do i fit the straws to go inside. Its to narrow for the straws to go inside. Or do the straws go outside?

@erodrigolopez Год назад

But how do take the rest of the ink out of the system of the tubes inside and the headers?

@sloshingjesus8159 Год назад

I'm sorry! I did not see this. Use the cleaning of the heads selection on your printer. Run a few prints thru and you'll see it works!
