Hi I’m trying to buy this printer to save on regular ink NOT CONVERT TO SUB is the any way that I can refill the original ink cartridge with eco tank bottle ink PLEASE HELP BECAUSE THE REGULAR INK IS SO EXPENSIVE
At first, I was like Nooo.. such good price! but, then I saw it had cartridges . Ok, nevermind I'm staying with my espon eco tank 2720 I just bought. But, thanks for sharing! Good tutorial! Good to know!
It's completely different. Dye Sub ink is designed to bond to polyester when heated. It looks dull when printed on paper and then the color comes out when heated.
i followed your instructions to convert my wf 7710 into a sublimatin printer but after doing two print head cleans and i few nozzle checks the paper seems to be coming out almost blank only a few black marks none of the other colors show on the paper. what could i have done wrong or am i still good?
That's normal. My first one took around 20 cycles of cleaning and nozzle checks to work right. I would do around 10 and if it doesn't work at that point, let it sit overnight and start back tomorrow on it.
Hi Is there any chance that model is still on that website because I click on the link, and it took me to the Clearance Epson website, but I don't see it? I hope I did it right.
i have a wf 7010 that had been used for sublimation before (someone else) but i need help with setting it up on my computer would it be the same settings?
How would I print a sublimation print over 11" wide? Was told this printer prints 13" x 19" borderless. I already have this printer I'm using for my htv & htp prints with pigment ink but was thinking about buying a epson eco tank 15000 for sublimation for the large size prints but if this 7720 will do those large sizes also I will just use it.

I read that only printers that are pressure(driven?) and not those that are thermal can be converted to sublimation printer. How do we know which printers are those? Those info are normally not included in specs of printers.
Yes. Most all epson printers will. The main thing is different ones allow bigger print sizes & offer fax,copier,scanner, card slots, wifi & paper trays. The 7720 is always boasted as the best overall sublimation printer as the print quality is good as well as a low price & has all the bells & whistles.

I was always told not to EVER use regular ink when you're converting your printer to a sub printer.. but u clearly just used reg ink thru yours.. did you have any issues with that? Any issues with the regular ink interfering with the sub ink?
No, it's fine. I wouldn't do regular ink with an Ecotank, but in cartridge printers, it's fine. The real reason to do it is to make sure the refurbished printer prints as expected. I've done this with all 4 of the refurbished printers that I've done to date.

Can I convert and already used (with factor ink) epson printer into a sublimation printer. Will I have to print a number of sheets before trying to transfer to clothing, to make sure all the factor in is gone?
You have to keep checking the store. I've noticed that they usually update stock at night, so that's usually your best chance. This was actually a 7710, basically the same thing, minus an additional paper tray.
Hello! We purchased a epson WF-7840 and we are trying to convert it to sub ink we have done all the steps to do that, but when we get to the print test page it’s always blank any ideas on what we are doing wrong? Any help would be very appreciated! My husband is about to pull his hair out! Haha
You need to prime the ink cartridges. There are loads of videos you can watch. Basically, fill your new cartridges with sub ink, plug vent hole, insert empty syringe into fill hole and pull up on plunger. You’ll create a vacuum that will pull ink into the hollow circle part of the cartridge. Plug fill hole, unplug vent hole and run a couple cleaning cycles and it should print.
I appreciate your video. I have a 7720 that I use for regular printing. I am thinking of converting it to sublimation. So this was helpful. Here's my question, or comment. Since the printer didn't already have injet ink, why didn't you just start with the sublimation ink to begin with? That would have been so much easier. I have seen videos of this printer being brand new, and starting it with sub ink. I have the epson 2720 that I bought to convert to sublimation. I put the sub ink in from the get go. No need to clean heads etc, to get rid of regular ink.
@@SouthpawsStudio I watched several video where they tell u not to use the factory ink at all if u r using the printer as a Sublimation printer & once u convert your printer to Sublimation printer u must never use factory ink. Is this correct?
@@SouthpawsStudio Hi! I love your channel. I’m so glad I found you. As soon as I get my stimulus I’m going to be buying. Do you know of any deals right now ? Also, what else would I need to buy? I thank you so so much!
You're taking the printer ink cartridges out you are filling and putting in the sublimation ink in their own tanks.. watch that part of the video again.
@@lizarrrdbeth I understand and I did watch. He ran multiple test runs and I just wasn’t sure if there was a point on a test run that would let you know when it was ready.
epson.com/Clearance-Center/All-in-One-Printers/WorkForce-WF-7720-Wide-format-All-in-One-Printer---Refurbished/p/C11CG37201-N - They are literally in-stock right now. Sure, they're discontinued and won't have warranty, but we're voiding the warranty anyways.
I never understand why people say this... Whoever told you this has zero understanding of exactly how things actually work (The manufacturing/refurbishing/troubleshooting process)... When buying a sublimation printer, I usually just buy a refurb, because we're voiding the warranty anyway. As part of the refurbishing process, the printheads are inked and tested using standard Epson ink. Based on your logic, the damage is already done at that point. But, let's say that it isn't that way.. and you put sublimation ink directly in. If it doesn't print, how to you troubleshoot a printer that isn't really known whether or not it works? You could be chasing a problem that's printhead related or anything else. IF it's a cartridge printer, I will ALWAYS test with the factory inks, just to confirm that the printer is function prior to the conversion process. My mind cannot be changed on this. On EcoTank printers, you should go straight to dye sub.

Can't you continuously refill the same cartridge or do you need to buy new cartridges every time?
would be better to do your ink intensive test then a test page?

If there's a kit for it, it's probably fine.
I have the Epson wf 7710 I only used it several times last year can I still switch it over to sublimation ink? Thank you
Does this printer print 13 x 19 and where did you purchase your encourages from the sublimation not the regular ink?
Great info thanks but what about replacing the cartridge chip for the cosmo cartridge I did not notice you do that.
Do you know anything about the Epson WF 7720? 7710 ain’t available in my country. Would it be as good for heat transfer?
Yes, it's the same thing as the 7710, but with an additional paper tray. It's actually what I use as a primary printer.

You can just pick up refillable cartridges, without the sublimation ink and fill them with cheaper ink.. it will work just fine.
Great video. Do you find that this is an ink guzzler?
No, it's been fine for me!
Do the ink cartridges for the WF7710 have chips that have to be transferred to the sub ink cartridges?
No, that's only the new WF78XX series. You can actually just do a chipless firmware to the 7710.

You just specify the size in your program.
The new cartridges you bought for the sub ink( the ones you filled), would they work for any epson, or just this model?
Each model may require different cartridges.
Would a Epson WF 3820 work with the conversion

Ur not he did it wrong
I believe he used standard ink to make sure the printer worked properly as it was 'refurbished', He's done many and been doing it a long time.

Just keep checking.. They add them to the site ever so often.
Amazon has them for a nice price
I have an eco tank that has factory ink in it and I want to convert it to sublimation ink can I do that? If I can can you doa video showing how?
No you can't. Once it's had regular ink in it, there's no way to fully clean it out.
Ugh I searched for it and its discontinued :(
epson.com/Clearance-Center/All-in-One-Printers/WorkForce-WF-7720-Wide-format-All-in-One-Printer---Refurbished/p/C11CG37201-N - They are literally in-stock right now. Sure, they're discontinued and won't have warranty, but we're voiding the warranty anyways.

I am Haitian, I have my printer that is not working properly epson 7710
Man your pushing air into the carts slow down you will have to get it out of you push that hard slow pushing ink into carts
U should of never put the regular ink in first
I never understand why people say this... Whoever told you this has zero understanding of exactly how things actually work (The manufacturing/refurbishing/troubleshooting process)...
When buying a sublimation printer, I usually just buy a refurb, because we're voiding the warranty anyway. As part of the refurbishing process, the printheads are inked and tested using standard Epson ink. Based on your logic, the damage is already done at that point.
But, let's say that it isn't that way.. and you put sublimation ink directly in. If it doesn't print, how to you troubleshoot a printer that isn't really known whether or not it works? You could be chasing a problem that's printhead related or anything else.
IF it's a cartridge printer, I will ALWAYS test with the factory inks, just to confirm that the printer is function prior to the conversion process. My mind cannot be changed on this. On EcoTank printers, you should go straight to dye sub.
No longer under $200 and they're all sold out
I wish it was that much I seen$900 for it
dang i accidently tried to fill the blue like the black. will that mess it up
No, it should be fine. Might have a few more bubbles than normal, but it'll sort out.
Would a WF 2850 work well for this?
Yes, it will work fine, assuming you have the correct cartridges.
