Hi friends!! I'm back again with another Sublimation "first" in my journey!

As always, leave questions down below and any helpful tips if you're already a pro! (heyyo, unintentional rhyme for the win!)

I already have this printer I use for everyday printing. I wish I had thought about buying another 7720 for sublimation, instead of the Ep 2720. I never thought about needing to print larger images. You're right, this printer is a beast!

@robertmahaney2854 3 года назад

The 7710 is the same size, also prints 13 x 19 Both are great printers for what you are doing. Very informative great job😊

@chrinamint Год назад

Wow - I'm just now finding your channel, so this video is a couple years old but I looked up this printer and it is now over $1,000! I think what happened is they realized that people were buying this printer and converting it so they jacked up the price! Now I'm going to have to research a different printer because I'm not paying $1,000 either!

@JesusHF37 Год назад

You’re right. I think it’s because they discontinued the model. I got mine at BestBuy about 2 years ago for $200

@robertasprouse3631 3 года назад

This is a fantastic video, thank you so much! Great information and I love being able to see it done. My question is this...You converted from brand new without ever using the inkjet cartridges; however I have had my WF-7720 since right after they first came out a few years ago and of course used only the Epson Inkjet ink cartridges. Would I be able to convert it to sublimation now? Or is it too late because I've only used the inkjet cartridges for a few years with it? Thank you!

Aggha ha!!!! Thank you for making the perfect instructional video about converting the epson work force 7700's series printer into the much more affordable sublimation printer. I own a sawgrass sg400 and it's great but tile printing for attempting a bigger design forget it you done the right thing period!!! I attempted this about 4 years ago i think it was. And now i think i see what my biggest mistake was i made. There were several but this one that you avoided i think led me to all of my other mistakes except inking it up before i should have since i didn't use it consistently right afterwards like i should have done. Now, the big mistake part about it that you avoided i am going to tell you was DO NOT USE FACTORY INCLUDED INK!!!! Thats where i screwed up!!! I just wished i had watched this 4 years ago so big thank you and thumps up cute woman for this!!! :-) So i wanted to ask you, have you had any issues or problems with this since converting it?

@TheFoiledPlan 3 года назад

Ahhh thank you SO MUCH for the kind words!! I’m glad you found it helpful! So far I’ve had zero issues with it since September of 2020! I just make sure to print regularly (even if I don’t need to print something), just to keep the ink flowing through otherwise that can cause issues! I’m moving out of my house soon so it can be renovated, but I have to bring this beast of a printer with me while I stay in a friend’s basement instead of putting it in storage with the rest of my craft stuff just so I can make sure I print things on it regularly! The things we do for our hobbies LOL

@4THOSEnotEFFECTED 3 года назад

@@TheFoiledPlan Awesome i am grateful to know that. I like it when affordable works. Yeah that model is quite big actually i know what you mean. I think those things we do in this case particularly save us lots of time and hassle and let us enjoy our hobbies!! ;-). I wish sawgrass (ricoh) had more competition this would mean much lower cost but so far i don't see any of the kind that would compel them to lower their prices!! Outrageous okay lol i think it's still like $1600 bucks for even the sg800 AFTER the fact they made the sg500 and the sg1000 which are just refreshes and both of them the same as the two sg400 and sg800 are. That was disappointing of sawgrass but oh well i guess.

@@loritaparker4367 Honestly if you want my opinion i would actually go for the Epson F170 it's new saves you lots of money on ink costs you pay like no more than 75bucks and get the entire ink set in 100ml bottles or i know they are close to that plus sawgrass hasn't fully really fixed their software (spm and creative studio) i still had problems even now with that printer going offline even i read in windows 10 it was doing the same thing plus the F170 from epson is 399 bucks same printing size this is epson's new line of sublimation printers they made ..go for that i think you would be much more happier and satisfied - i sold my sawgrass and plan on buying the F170 myself ...

@andrewbarrett3381 3 года назад

Can i just say I think I would run the normal ink first to make sure the printer from new is working properly fully functional in all aspects of printing just in case it's not because I think the warrentee would be void by swapping the ink ! once u know it's fine then use the ink still a gamble but at least you can take it back 👍

@Henrymichaelball 3 года назад

Don't contaminate the system with regular ink if you plan on a sub conversion. you will have to do several head cleaning cycles to get rid of all of it and may coagulate and ruin the heads. allot of people have done this and there will be no issue. if not return it anyways.

@Henrymichaelball 3 года назад

Hold on !! Do not toss or sell the first ink set!! Those are initialization Carts. You need to peel the chips off of them and snap onto your refillable empty cartridges! No not install the ones that came with it. It will pump the wrong ink into the tubes and heads. Unless you get chip ignore firmware for you model printer.

Hi Henry!! Thanks for sharing! I made sure the refillable cartridges I bought had the auto reset chip so we’re all good!! Everything is working beauty for about three months now since starting! So much information to learn with sublimation! 😁

@Henrymichaelball 3 года назад

@@TheFoiledPlan I shopped for a while and there are no more 7720s. I purchased a 7840 and thus far there are NO reset chips and no firmware available. So whenever a new model comes out you have to move the chips from legit cartridge's until such time. You basically have to but ink from Epson and toss it after you remove the chips. Hope they update soon!!

@TheFoiledPlan 3 года назад

@@frankabbott2326 the Epson ecotanks are all relatively similar, it just depends on the functionality you need from it. The 2760 and 2720 are both around $400 or less at regular price but go on sale all the time. The only difference between the two, is the more expensive (7260) has the ability to duplex print (print double sided) which is not needed with sublimation anyways, and uses larger bottles so you can fill the tank more (not a game changer in my opinion). From there if you want wide format printing, you’re looking at something like the ET-15000 which is double in price. I have wide format printing capabilities on my WF-7720 and like the knowing I have the option to use it if I need it, because you can buy larger sublimation paper, but I can honestly say I have yet to actually use the wide format printing option. I’ve also been shut down for 5 months while my house is being renovated though so I’ve missed out on a lot of sublimation practice time lol

@TheFoiledPlan 3 года назад

Hi Daisy! Once you convert it to sublimation, it’s best to use another printer for stickers. The way sublimation inks work, designs print extremely dull and the heat is what makes them vibrant, so printing regular stickers with sublimation ink would look like you were running out of ink because they would look so faded. I hope that makes sense and helps!! 😁💜

I thought the printer it’s $300 ? In Amazon shows it’s $600 !

I see the smaller 7710 is $560 on Amazon. Crazy prices!

Hi Isarely! Since filming this video, the printer is now discontinued (which is why it is so expensive to find anywhere online). I would suggest choosing an ecotank model to convert to sublimation :)

Hi I’m trying to start my own business and that printer is a lot. Would the Epson Workforce WF-2830 also work for sublimation?

@TheFoiledPlan 3 года назад

Hi Carmel! Many people choose the ecotank models as well, I have not used the model you’ve mentioned but I would just make sure that you do your research and make sure you know if you can get the proper cartridges for it (if that model requires cartridges for course) 😁

@carmelmontesdeoca 3 года назад

@@TheFoiledPlan thank you so much. That model is more in my budget I will make sure to do some research

Can you keep switching from the normal ink and sublimation ink cartridges depending on the job?

@TheFoiledPlan 3 года назад

Hi there! No you would need separate printers for that. The specific ink would be throughout the lines of the printer so in order to change ink, you have to clean out the lines and it uses so much ink to get it running properly again

@@TheFoiledPlan that stinks lol. Looks like I'd have a lot of white Sublimation shirts before I could heat press black shirts right? Sorry im new to this and just bought this printer and setup
