- I am just getting started with sublimation and in this video I'm showing how to convert an Epson EchoTank 2760 to sublimation. This video will apply to several of the different model numbers of the EchoTank.
Sublimation is a chemical process that embeds dyes into polymer surfaces. With sublimation you will print with sublimation ink and paper. The ink dyes polyester fibers.

I emptied the Epson ink bottles, rinsed them well, let them dry & put hippo ink in each bottle
I did the same thing - life saver to keep from having to use syringes......
Thank you so much for taking time for teaching how to convert to sublimation printer. It certainly seems doable. I can't wait to get started!
I'm so glad!! It took me awhile to get started with sublimation because it seemed like it would be a long process to get started and I was surprised how it wasn't too bad!
So easy to follow. The best setup I’ve watched and I’ve watched tons. Great job 👍🏾
Finally, I’ve learned how to add the ink profile to my Mac, I had my printer about a month now and I didn’t know how to add the color profile.. I was using something else. Thank You🌟✨💚
I really would love to own one of these machines. My passion
I had the Sawgrass set up but got tired of buying $400 worth of ink every 12 months. The ink had to be replaced, whether you used it or not, because it “expired”. This is so much cheaper. I will definitely use your video to get set up if I decide to get back into sublimation. Thanks!😀
I just bought an Epson ET 2800, I was debating between the Hiipo and Cosmos Ink...you helped me with my decision to buy the Cosmos ink. Thank you for your video, very informative. I can't wait to set up my printer and start sublimating.
Hi, thinking about getting the ET 2800. Were you able to set it up with this video?? could i print sublimation completely using my phone??
@@kaddencem2383 yes, I was able to set up my ET-2800 with this video along with the Cosmos Ink video. I love my sublimation printer!! However, I have not printed anything from my phone, so I really can't answer your question, I suppose you could print from your phone...
I’m so glad you mentioned regarding a Wi-Fi printer. I’ve been watching a lot of videos regarding sublimation printer and looking at the videos they all had Epson 2720. The 2760 is better with ,Wi-Fi and tray. Thank you again for this video as well as the cosmo ink.
Thank you for making this viedo. You're a lifesaver for us Mac users!
OMG!! FINALLY! SOMEONE SIMPLE!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! YOURE AMAZING!
Great instructions! Just got my epson 2760 and my ink and paper arrived today! Start sublimating tomorrow! I’m so excited!!!😁
We have the same printer, I converted it a couple of months ago and my wife loves it.
That’s good to hear!! I’m excited to start making projects! :)
Thank you so much i have tried for months to figure it out and your video has helped
Thanks so very helpful I have the 2720 was scared of sublimation so added the ink, just purchased another the epson 2800 will be trying this ordered the hippo will return and order the cosmo thank you so much so helpful
To setup the printer setting with Mac. Do the usual steps in silhouette studio but click on “Save Current Settings as Preset” and that will save the current settings you are using as the default.
Thank God for people like you, really Appreciate you doing this.
Also for your end intro, your subscription profile or the next video doesn't come up.
Could me my end but thought I'd let you know :)
Will you show or did video on steps to do sub printing windows 10? Can you print from circuit program to sub printer ?? I’m thinking of getting epson today
Thanks so much.. I have made myself crazy trying to add a profile . Bam .. Done Thank You...
thank you so much this was so easy setup 🙌🏼
I just went to pick up my Epson Ecotank 15000 printer. Now, I am going to order the cosmoink. Thanks for the information and the links to find the ink and Information on how to set it up.
Exciting!!! You’re welcome!!
I can get to the same places you are in the 13 minute mark but when I go to drag it to the folder all the items in my folder are grey and it won't take it.
hello Can someone please help, I just did every thing you did on youtube the only question is once you do the color match to cosmo do you also change anything else? i am not sure on my colors they look very fainted or the color doesn't match. please and thank you.
i did all of this and my printer acts like its printing but nothing is printed on the paper
Thanks so much ... great explanation!
I set mine up but it gives me an error when I try to print and say the paper isn’t correct that is placed in the printer? I can’t figure out why cause I copied your settings, can you help please?
Another great tutorial!
Thank you!!
Very detailed video, thx
Hmmm. I never received a email from Cosmo Ink for a download when I ordered my inks.
I’m actually doing this tonight. I’m so excited to do it
Exciting!!!
Which printer did you buy?
@@KaylasCricutCreations same one as you :) at sams
@@taraleigh72 they had the best prices I could find!
ok watched your video and OMG you are great at this this was step by step and that is exactly what I needed now I cant wait to do our first sublimation but im scared too lol
I have the same printer. I have a chromebook & the part where you downloaded the software doesn't show up for me. When i try to print pages are blank. Can anyone help me?
Thank you for this!!
Once you used the ET-2760 as a sublimation printer, can you use it to print regular paper printing again? Or, is it no turning back?
You will have to flush out the old ink.
Thank you so much very helpful
You are great! Thank you !!!
Now that you have a few months of experience using this setup.. How is your Epson printer on ink..? I used to have an older model of Epson, which wasted way too much ink during the cleaning and calibration steps.
How has this worked since your video? I'm considering doing this due to the cost savings from sublimation $. Loved your video. Thank you
Mine didn’t come with a download now button after purchasing and I’ve purchased twice 🥺 is there a way to receive this to add to my MacBook? Thank you! I love your videos
Thank you for this! Can I use any eco tank printer for this?
Is there any way to covert it back to a regular printer if I no longer want to use it for sublimation??
I don’t see the links. Can you help me?
Question I just purchased a epson 2803 and I was wondering would the converting be the same as the 2760?
Hi, May I know Epson EcoTank L3210 can be used to print sublimation if i use hippo or other brand dry sublimation? I am fan of cricut!
So if you wanted to do a teal color would you have to buy that color and empty one of the others ? Or would it just print it that way ?
Hi! Mine had missing segments and I’ve done a nozzle run 3 times and it’s still missing segments. What should I do?
I'm having trouble with my set up it's telling me that it doesn't detect my printer but it's right next to my mac and they are both using the same wifi what do u recommend me to do
Hello Kayla, how are you? Did you figure out how to set this as a default? Now i know how to get the settings from cosmos ink (which i didn't even knew existed until now-lol), but how do i use it? I have a mac. Can someone help me please?
Can you transfer a cannon printer for sublamation
What is the difference between the 2720 and 4700 and you got yours at Sams? Thank you
I missed a step in priming the ink after i filled. how can i do this step?
How do I remove the regular ink to convert it to sublimation ?
Can you add this ink profile if your using hippo ink?
I just bought the epson EcoTank 3850 would the ink work in this also
Can you add two et 2760 to the same MacBook?
Just by dragging the ICC file into the profile folder its automatically installed?
After I selected the little diamond to print I get a page with just the red box and yellow box :( I can’t get mine to work.
Omg where can I get the Cosmo Ink color sync link
What can I do if my printer already has regular ink in it?
For some reason it won’t let me add the cosmos ink profile to my color sync
So if i have an eco tank 3830 with the ink that came with it. so your telling me i cant do sublimation with this printer
Hi do you know if I can use my epson ET 4800 with cosmos ink ?
What sublimation paper do you use ? For tshirt
hi. do I need an app to change my papersize??
I have a MacBook. I don’t see Macintosh or library😬 so I can’t figure out how to sync cosmo inks colors
Hi, I can't find the cosmos ink in Amazon.
I just got my 2803 Epson printer today, can I do these steps to turn it into a Sumblimation printer? Like can I use the ink it came with to do it instead of buying the other kind of Ink? I'm new to this so I really don't wanna mess up the printer
If you just purchased your printer and want it for sublimation then don't put in the ink that came with printer. You have to purchase special sublimation ink and put that ink into your new printer. There's a ton of brands for sublimation ink.... there's hippo, printers jack, cosmos ink ect.
What kind of computer do you use for all your cricket designs
Hi! I use a MacBook Pro computer
Can I Change My HP K8600 Office Inkjet Pro In To Sublimation Any Video Regards HP K8600 Office Inkjet Pro Converting In To Sublimation Printer
I couldn’t get the profile to work unfortunately 😢
Does this work for any ET printer?
Did your black ink bottle feel half empty?
Can sublimation ink be used to print on waterslide or printable vinyl??
No it can’t.
What if the difference between the printer you are using vs the 2720? Looking into getting a 2720 but I just don’t know all the differences :(
I believe they are very similar. From what I read the differences is in the paper handling/trays & fax. I think the print quality is the same.
Hey, yeah just look at the paper tray and sizes…. I finally decided on the one above the 2720… But, 😵💫🤪Still Confused… just gotta jump into it mistakes and all.. Good Luck! ❤️🙏🏽✌🏼
The 2720, 2760 and a few more all have a few differences, that’s where the price differs come in. They print letter and legal size paper.. The 15000 is the printer that prints large sizes 13”x19” and it cost more..
Hi!!! I try stickers with this printer n I fail the come up really bad
Hi! I’ve never tried it with stickers or regular ink but I have you tried doing a print head cleaning? That might work to have it print out better.
Can I do this with an ET2803?
Have you been successful with info on the quality of the 2803? It seems as if everyone is using only the 2700 models .
Pleeaaassee make the video for windows computer pleeaasse
What would I use this printer for??
Hi! You can use this printer for regular printer but I chose to turn it into a sublimation printer for making shirts, tumblers, ect.
Can epson L1800 can be converted
Yes, I think it can be converted to sublimation. I would try searing it on youtube to see if anyone has done it.
Can i convert an Epson ET2803?
Yes. Anything with an eco tank is convertible.
I also couldn’t figure out how to default my print settings on my Mac!
Ugh! Lol I’ll have to try to see if I can figure it out and I’ll share if I do!
@@KaylasCricutCreations I watched a video after this and I think I may have figured it out. You have to go to the print screen as if you’re going to print and set the print settings then at the top where you canselect to use last print settings it has an option to save the current settings as default.
@@fatimarazon8407 awesome!!! Thanks! :) I’ll look for that when I go to print!
@@KaylasCricutCreations I saw a post today that says that if your settings are not configured correctly your colors will not be sharp and crisp crisp
@@gentryluz Yes! It definitely makes a difference with how the colors print off. Hopefully I can get a video up soon with settings. I'm just getting it all figured out!
Could I convert my ET-4800 the same way???
i just bought a 4800 one today and i’m wondering the same
@@ullizacontreras I set up my 4800 the same way and it works good for my custom necklaces!
@@neishat.8349 awesome thank God i’m starting to do tumblers and that was the only printer in stock. thank you for this !
Thank you for this. I want to start and was afraid. You made it look so easy
1 why didn’t you register the printer in the set up
2 did you get the ink on Amazon or direct from their site
3 will you do an update video when you figure out how to do the settings like to mirror image.
Thank you in advance. I love all your tutorials.
Sorry for just getting back to you. I'm so glad I made it look easy. I was definitely intimidated at first! For the sake of the video I decided not to register the printer but I'll go back and register for it. I just didn't want the video to be too long. I bought the Cosmo Ink directly from their website, they aren't selling it on Amazon. I have a link in my bio if you are looking for it. Yes, I will do an updated video for the settings. I am about to post a video on how to make a shirt with sublimation and show how I mirror on there but plan to make a dedicated video on the printer settings. Thank you!!
@@KaylasCricutCreations Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and wisdom. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I decided to get the same printer you have. Did a little bit of research because all I need is for sublimation. If you can do all the videos on how to print and cut, how to do uploading of images for sublimation. How to do mugs with sublimation would be great I don’t know if you have one of those already but anything that you create with sublimation if you can make all the videos and linked them because then it’s easy to follow🙃
@@gentryluz Yes!! I am looking forward to making more sublimation videos! :) I would really like to make a mug or tumbler next!
You keep saying echo tank but it’s an ECO tank.
I am stumped by the repeated (and misleading) usage of the word "convert", since there is no "conversion" involved whatsoever. You just get a brand new Epson Ecotank printer and fill up it with the sublimation ink of your choice.
I do understand what you mean since it’s new and doesn’t have inkjet ink inside it already but the printer is not meant for sublimation which is why I say convert to sublimation.
It is a conversion when the printer comes with ink that was meant to do regular printing. Not sublimation.
