How to convert an Epson Eco Tank Printer to Dye Sublimation Ink 

Excellent! Thank you so much. I was going nuts trying to figure out how to get sub ink into those tanks. ❤️

Im just getting into the sublimation / grass roots print of demand game and this was mad informative. Props to ya man respect

Great idea to use the bottles for the sublimation ink. Thank you!

Thank you for this process, I don’t know what I would have thought when buying my printer

So glad I found this video and your channel! Thank you!

thank you! exactly the video I needed

Thank you..Thank you..Thank you! Best help i have had all day, cant wait to start printing

Thanks for sharing, recently i was going to purchase the hippo sub inc on amazon, the one compatible to the epson in bottles but they are sold out so i had to buy the other hippo sub bottles similar to what you have in your video. I was just about to toss my epson ink out and this was perfect timing i came accross your video. Excellent idea and thank you for sharing your knowledge!

this was soooo helpful. thank you!

Do you have a video, (if you added the ink the original printer came with so that you can remove the original ink and add the sublimation ink?

Excellent. lots of best information here. thanks.

Late to the party, but thanks for this. Was looking for an Epson F170 sub printer (extremely hard to find in the wild) when I realized the ETs are the exact same thing. And these actually go on sale. Thanks again!

Thanks friend. I didn't think to just dump the other bottles out and use 😁 Sitting here trying to make a funnel with a piece of pen and a bottle nozzle and have ink everywhere but in the printer lol

Thank you for the video was great and helpful

Thank you for your video on how to convert. Seems simple enough, hopefully LOL

You are a life saver!!!😁😁

Excellent videos thank you for making my path to sublimation easier. Just a question does one need a different ICC Sublimation profile for sublimation printing to get the best printing Quality ? I am converting the Epson Ecotank L3110?

I enjoyed this video... Thank you so much!!!!!

Great job! I am just getting into this.....

Thank you for this video😃👍🏼

OMG! I should have watch this video first before making a mess. I used syringe and it was a mess. Thank you for sharing

How did you emptied the printer ink tank? just how easily you opened the original ink bottle made my day.

This a year ago. I just got my printer 3850 .mine is already an old model lol thank you for the conversion lesson.

Great thanks for the tip.

Thank you I just ruined my 2720 trying to clear a clogged print head. And bought this one as a replacement. :o)

Hearing that 3D printer in the background 😂😂 That gave me a huge grin

how do you drain the original dye ink to fill the new ones?

I had to return my Epson 2720 printer I had just received, as I got an E 11 error when filling. It turns out the machine was faulty. I have a replacement on the way and cannot wait to get it set up. I am using StarCraft sublimation ink from 143vinyl, They come with the same nozzle as the Epson bottles and are very easy to use.

Great info thanks

Hello, love the video. Is there a printer similar to this that I can print a 14" x 24" image on?

First of all...THANK YOU. i couldnt find anyyy video that shows from the very beginning...im a visual learning, when they say clean the bottle i was soo blur 🤣

I just used the bottle caps. I just did it today then I ran into your video

Very good!!!!!!!!😎

So far so good! have an Epson ET-3600, I still have a couple of old bottles, I'll have to thoroughly rise out between colors. But the old ink that is remaining in the printer, I'll have to tip the printer over my kitchen sink with running water? Right? Thanks!

Oh my gosh!! I seriously should've watched this video before putting in my ink! I just blew up a bottle all over because of the needle they give!

Hello! I have an Epson EcoTank model and i have already used the original Pigment ink included with it, after it almost reaches near the bottom limit of the tank, would it permanently damage my printer if i started to put the newly Dye Ink Mate i bought? or i could just keep printing till it finishes the older ink and it would just start using the new one? Many thanks in advance :)

Can you use any sublimation ink or is there certain ones for certain models

I have an epson 15000 I purchased a year ago and I put regular ink in it now I want to change it to sublimation ink, any idea how I can remove the existing ink?

Is there a way to clean regular in out of the tank to change to sublimation ink?

Loved the video. Question, I did everything you did but the ink is not coming out. It prints blank page. Any suggestions. Thanks

Thanks friend. I have a question tho, after you wash the shirts does the ink stay perfect?

Saves way more money

Omg thank u 😃

Sorry to bother you, but I have an epson eco tank L3150 printer and I’d like to know what sublimation ink I need to buy. On Amazon the inks I found, no mention was compatible with Eco tank L3150

Thank you for this video. Printer question I am 99% there to start doing sublimation. From what I've read and seen on RU-vid, Epson printers are most popular. I just want to make sure: If I buy a brand new Ecotank printer and use sublimation ink from the start, there is no "conversion" needed as it has never used "normal" ink. Am I right? I understand that I break the warranty and so on, but I am, based on your video, that it should work.

Hi, can you use this type of printer to print picture using fabric?

Thank you

Can you use any Epson et printer to do this? also if I put the ink that came with it can i still do this if i remove the ink?

Hello If I already put the reg ink in can it be flushed or do o have to purchase another printer to use the sublimation ink

What if there already printer ink in the tank, how do we clean out along as clean the printer of any other ink before putting in the sub ink ?

im used to Richoh sawgrass ink but A3 printer sadly no longer works so looking for cheap but professional way to print and sell clothing t-shirts and mugs so do you know how good quailty be so Sublinova refill vs Richoh cartages ? and i know Epson Eco Tank Printer to Dye Sublimation Ink if u do this then u wont have printer warranty left ?

HI, a question. Is the material of the inks different from each other. And the filling inks, or are they all the same material, regardless of the colors. In other words, I can fill in all types of printers. Or is there a difference in the density of the material. I hope to find the answer.

Thank you this is so helpful

I’ve just bought the eco tank 2820 will this be the same process to change to sublimation ? New to this am just seeing a lot useing ur model and not the one I’ve bought any help would be appreciated

It seems any Epson Ecotank model can be used for sublimation?

This is awesome thank you so much for sharing. I haven't bought anything yet just doing my research. Can you tell me if i was to place a simple photo on a mug like not huge or lots of colours, how many mugs do you think i could get out of the ink before refilling?? I'm looking at about approx 72 mugs for my preschoolers 😏

Hi..I'm trying to convert a 2710 that was used for inkjet to a sub printer. I've drained everything. Cleaned print heads and still getting all.lights flashing. Any tips or suggestions to try and resolve thism

Do all converted epon printers use the same ink..for instance I have an Epson R330L800 what ink can i use for sublimation

I am using epson L3210, what ink is suitable for my printer? Please advise.

You don't have to use original bottle. You can cut head of the sublime bottle and use it directly. Or find a flexible hose and put it.

Hi my printer seems like it has ink because it never goes down so I don’t know when it’s empty but it keeps saying it has no ink when I try to put the ink on it it comes back out So I don’t know why it’s running slow when it does print out it shows a lot of ink on it like it has ink so I don’t know what’s wrong with it I just got it on February and it seems like it doesn’t work now

I heard if u have a sub Epson printer converted you have to print a couple times a week to prevent the ink from drying up ? Also heard you can never update the printer after converting it to sub is is also true? Thanks

Hi there, I have just purchased a pre used ET-1510, it has Sub ink in it, but I dont know what brand she used. does it matter the brand of sublimation ink to refill them?

What is dye sublimation ink compared to the ink that comes with the printer? I know nothing about the inks used, but I am considering buying an Epson tank printer for home use.
