So glad to find this video. I’ve only seen people with the more expensive printer for eco solvent. I want one for cup wraps.
I just bought the epson 2803 and the same ink from Etsy. This video is right on time. Thank you
Hey Robbin, great!!! I’ve used it and the ink prints are very colorful!!! Happy Crafting🥰
I agree ! Thank you for the tips!! YOU ARE AWESOME and now I’m excited for my machine and ink to get here.
@@GraphicsPlus , your welcome!!!
@@lashes1211 how is it holding? Did it clogged?
@@jerosacoa , no I have not had any clogging. Imma try to do a quick print video this Sunday 7/17/22
I just bought this printer. I bought Goodiez Epson 2800 compatible ink. The ink will not leave the bottle. Can you please help me? I did what all of the videos showed
Is sublimation ink required for printavle vinyl that will just be on cups as well? Or is this for htv only
sublimation ink is different from eco solvent ink. this is not HTV(heat transfer vinyl). If you’re doing cups you want to do sublimation and use sublimation cups.
Can you convert if you’ve already used the regular ink?
No
I wondering can this be used for sublimation
Yes, you would just need to put sublimation ink in the printer. I have the EPSON-2720 I use for sublimation did the same thing just added sublimation ink.

Hey did you make a separate video for your first print ?
Hello I did but didn’t record it. I never started using it cause DTF came out and that’s what I use now. I used the printer 1 time😩it’s still sitting in there.😆

How long have you been running this printer on ecosolvents? I see that you still have no clogs.. which is nice.. but.. is everything else ok? Have you changed the tubes and dampers for ecosolvent friendly ones? I ask this becausem usually, the original tubes do colapse after a few hours (or days).. and start leaking...
Hello, I have been run ing this printer for the last 2 months no problems, no clogging, no issues. I also have the Epson 2720 running for 3 years no problems. Sorry your having issues but it’s all good for me.
@@lashes1211 No no.. you miss understood or i miss spoken. I have not tried this myself... i was just wondering. So.. to be clear.. no cloggs .. no issues... no leaks... no printhead damage on the 2720 for over 3 years with the Eco solvent inks?! All of this without any printer modifications on the tubes and dampers?
humm... i think i have figured it out. It's mainly because of the inks you are using. You are using water based eco solvent inks (not oil based ones which are acidic ...and therefore incompatible with the original tubes and dampers though it might be compatible with the printhead itself except maybe with the ink manifold). The water based eco solvent seem to be good for indoor usage.. but if you go and put those stickers on a car with direct sun light they will fade in time such as pigmented water based inks in printable vinyls. The main plus is the media combability.. but they will still fade making this a non viable solution for long term usage on outdoors..
.... please correct me if i am wrong. I have much interest on this... and would love to hear your experiences..
@@jerosacoa , I’m not making stickers this ink is used in conjunction with colorprint easy printable vinyl which means it is applied by pressing with ink.
If you want to make stickers just use the ink that came with it. Hope that answers your questions😃
My EPSON 2720 is used for sublimation and uses sublimation ink. Those are 2 different type inks.
Did you switch your print settings on your computer?
No, didn’t need to. I use a MacBook Air. All the prints come out very colorful
How did you open the original bottle?
they are very hard to open they are sealed tightly.... you may have to use a towel or dry washcloth to help get a good grip on the top to twist off.
do your prints smell very strong too? is it not dangerous to health?
Sublimation releases a gas when pressed … so you should always wear a mask and always work in a well ventilated area.
I cannot get this printer to print on printable vinyl it is so blurry and I have tried ever single print option it prints fine on regular paper but no go on vinyl I’m using the Siser printable vinyl. I converted to eco solvent ink and the printer functions properly but the prints on the vinyl is a mess
Make sure your using colorprint easy vinyl. I use SISER. also print on the matte side. The glossy side is the sticky side that will activate the glue when heat is applied to your shirt. If you print on glossy side you will have smeared images. Photo matte setting for paper setting.Hope this helps. You will also need a transfer mask, do not mirror your image.
@@lashes1211 check check and check. I’m using the Siser vinyl printing on the correct size using that print setting and still no useful print. I printed out an image on plain paper and it’s perfect. But vinyl. Nothing useful. I’m ready to try another brand of ink at this point. It’s weird and so frustrating!!!
Is this the same as DTF?
No, DTF is different . Eco-solvent uses different ink and vinyl to print on. Shortly after this video I went to DTF printing . The eco solvent was too much work. Now I design in canva and have my prints printed at local print shop.
The solvent in the inks will melt the hoses
I haven’t had that issue, I’ve moved on to DTF since that video
Are the eco solvent inks water based
Yes, I believe so.
@@lashes1211 thank you
Of course not , they are solvent based
@MrAndyhughes they are 50%water and 50% solvent
Hey there I found you. I
Hey I’m bout to subscribe to your channel too.🥰
pouring ink down the drain is definitely not ECO friendly lol
I haven’t used that printer but one time. Shortly after that DTF became popular and I get those printed at a shop and just press. I still have that printer I converted, I should throw it away now .i only used it one time
