Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have to say that without it I would never have made it through the process. You are so clear and concise with your directions. You made it a breeze to get through the entire process. Awesome job!! Thank you!!!
I was very intimidated, and then I ran across your step by step video. I was able to get it to work with the chipless refillable cartridges following these instructions. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Thank you.

Hey man, I wanna say thank you for posting this video, as I was able to convert my WF-2860 to chipless (after dealing with so much issue related to knock-off cartridge). I do have a few question though: 1. Can I use regular ink for the printer? 2. What happen if the printer runs out of ink? Will it cause any kind of damage? (I'm still trying to completely use up my knock-off cartridge before switching to the clear/refillable one, and I'm quite scared of this bit).
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Jack Bowen thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you, thank you! Followed your instructions to set up first 2680. After a year of no use, ink dried up and having difficulty cleaning print head. Got new 2680 two days ago getting MAINTENACE ERROR MSG - CANNOT RECOGNIZE (C) INK C ink cartridge try installing again. Check ink cartridge codes. Nothing I tried is working. Please off your suggestion, I'm confident one will work. Gracious!
@@AlbertMiller-oq7st if it’s giving a ink cartridge error, try reinstalling the chipless firmware. You will need to re order key as the old code won’t work on your new printer.
Are you able to demonstrate this conversion process with a WF- 3733 I have the Chipless cartridges , and download software with code key .I just need guidance to see someone do it .
If printer shuts off and on and activation key sees your USB printer connection then all it then needs is a key? Mine at 99% said it didn't take. So I am wondering if it just needs a key.
Can I use the empty ink cartridges that comes with a brand new Epson 2860 printer or do I have to buy new Chipless CISS cartridges and fill those with the sublimation ink?
Your explanation was excellent. I learned much. Please tell me how to get my wf2860 sublimation printer to print a MS word document with blue page color. It prints the background color without the text. When I remove the page color it prints the text. Please, offer your suggestions? Thanks
Great video! Queston. Can you use refillable cartridges with sublimation link and refillable cartridges with dye-based ink interchangeably in the same printer based on the project?
I have a question: 1st thank you so much for the detailed video, So i have this printer with chipless firmware and refillable cartridges, can i use regular ink refill (compatible with the printer ) or am i forced to use Sublimation ink only? thank you!
Hello. Im trying to follow your instructions as to firmware update for epson wf 2860. Iys not allowing me to do chipless do u know what I could do? Its saying downgraded (cannot be updated) when trying firmware update
Hi! Thank you for this video. We are having trouble after following the video, it doesn't seem to actually print correctly. All the ink is printed in lines and not actually blending the colors. It's also fading in and out on the paper... help please!
Great video!!!! I purchased this printer that came sublimation ready, however they installed ink cartridges with the chip. Can I switch it to chipless?
Hi , i got to the first print test page and then the print feed stopped working ... It will not grab any papers... any suggestions? My printer is the WF-2850.
followed your instructions to the T but my printer now prints in a different language. I checked printer settings but its already in english. How do I get my printer to print in English?
Hi Gorilla, when I got to step 5 on the firmware update, I do not see usb I only see: connection type: network status: downgraded it cannot be updated. What does this mean?
Hi! I have the WF2830 and it uses similar refillable cartridges. but I can't get it primed (so that ink fills in that bigger circular part). And my pages seem to be printing blank. Any advice? It's making me crazy.
You da man! I do have a question though. If I have more than 1 printer, can I use the same chipless firmware activation on both or would I have to purchase separate activation codes?
I am trying to get the activation key, but when I run anyway, it takes me to a totally different page that has nothing updating and in another language tp start. HELP!!!!
I bought the wrong ink cartridges before I found this video and couldn’t finish the printer setup. It kept reading “ink cartridge not installed correctly.” I just purchased these from you today! Should I just factory reset my printer? Also, I set up with the original inks but only did the alignment test print. So am I gonna have to clean out my printer before I install the sublimation inks? If that makes sense... I have the wf 2850.
i need help!! i converted an epson wf 7840 into a sub printer. it worked the first day the next day, it quit on me. THIS IS THE SECOND EPSON IVE BOUGHT IN A MONTH, i cant figure it out. any advise welcome.
Hoping you can help me out. I followed your tutorial and it worked perfect… until about 2 weeks ago. I thought I just needed to refill my ink and did that but now this is happening. My magenta won’t print and yellow is super light. I tried cleaning head and did a print purge but no luck. Any ideas on what I can do?
Is it ok to install the stock inks to do the flashing or can I just use the chippless cartridges? Or do I even need any cartridges in? My wife thinks you can't use sublimation inks after using the stock ones.
Yes you can use sublimation ink after stock ink has been installed on a cartridge printer. Just run a few purge files after installing the chipless firmware, and refill cartridges. However on an ecotank printer it's significantly harder to do, so people advise against it.
Hello i reallu liked your vedio you showed step by stp on how to do it ad i thsnk you for that. zbut 1 qustion what kind of USB cable do i need or can it just be a regular usb phone charger cable? I know im late but i just looked into sublimation prints
Is there anyway that you can purchase just one ink cartridge like the black one I purchased the set like a month ago from the link you have posted . and I just tried to make a shirt and the black smudged everywhere then I’ve done a cleaning in print test all that now the black isn’t working at all everything else is working perfect except for the black ink cartridge.??
Need help!!!! I have a 7710 printing works great, scanner bed is all screwed up. So when I turn it on it won’t go past the scanner start up now. I saw in one of your videos ( the one you are showing how to not get air in lines 7710 setting to the side ) you had taking off the scanner bed. Can it function without it. Is there a by pass for it? If so how do you do it, would love to save the printer
It's not harder to switch to sub ink. At least I've never had any issues switching to sublimation ink from pigment or dye based inks. Switching inks in an ecotank printer is harder, but not so hard that it can't be done. I put the regular cartridges in first because it was a brand new printer and it needs to go through an initialization with the cartridges that ship with the printer. Plus it's easier for novice users to start with the Epson cartridges until after they install the chipless firmware.
PLEASE HELP. I completed all the steps. My printer wont print correctly no matter how many times i clean the cartridges and print head. it prints with streaks and the black barely prints at all. does it have something to do with the fact that the original ink was run through at set up in the video? most of everything i read everywhere else said never to put the regular ink inside.
There is nothing wrong with starting with another ink type when using cartridges. Ecotanks, you want to start off with the ink you will be using. Try printing purge files instead of head cleanings. Also maybe give your printer a break, letting it rest or a few hours will let any ink settle.
Make sure that the vent plugs are removed from the cartridges. Run no more than 3 head cleanings, and then run a few purge files. If that doesn't work, try forcing air thru the cartridge with a syringe (there are videos on RUclips showing pushing air)
Need help. I don't the option of usb. Should I be using an ethernet cable or can I use a usb transfer cable. My computer doesn't have a ethernet cable spot. I bought a converter but am wondering if it doesn't work?
Ok. So for those of you having issues. I figured out how to get past step 5. I was trying to use a normal ethernet and because of that it wouldn't give me option of usb. Take your cricut usb plug it into your printer, put usb end into computer. I am now past 83% and am at 89%. Hope this helps!

Ecotanks are not to run regular ink if you are using them for sublimation. Cartridge type printers are fine if they run other ink first.
