how do you prime them? and what do they mean by "chips from original cartages will not reset. You will have to buy original epson ink every time it reads low and replace the chips again" ?? Is that referring to if I choose to turn it back to a regular printer?
Hi Alejandra, to prime the inks once you fill them with the sublimation ink you place the syringe to the ink cartridge and press up to pull out any air that might be inside the cartridge. You repeat that process a couple of times on each ink. You are correct, you will need to buy original epson inks every time it reads low and replace the chips again. Hopefully kits will soon be release that that won't continue to be the case.
@@LeeLeesCraft Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I should be getting the printer delivered this week and cartridges. About how many prints does one set of cartages get us? Should I start prepping with more chips already! lol and lastly is that a high probability that they will make a kit like that? I figure you may know since you know a lot about the printers..
I just bought this printer today And extra ink... Can i use the ink i have first.. To test it out.. And use the chip that came with it with the box for the new ink when it comes in
Great question! Using refillable cartridges typically does save money in the long run, especially when using sublimation ink. However, with the Epson WF7820, it's not always as straightforward. Each time you need to refill the cartridge, you'll also have to purchase new toner to get the chip, which can add to the cost. So while refillable cartridges generally save you money, with this particular printer, the savings might not be as significant due to the extra expense of replacing the chip.
@@LeeLeesCraft I actually figured it out once you upload the disk it is pretty easy to use....but a video on different polyester %shirts verse price brand and quality....or just what ever brand shirt you prefer
Do we need to replace the chip each time the ink runs out? or is the trick to just refill the ink in the refillable cartridges to keep using the same chip? I'm asking for a 7820.
i have a epson wf 7840 and want to convert it to sublimation ink but i have already used the regular ink in it and i dont want to mess up my printer what do i need to do
Hello just watched the tutorial, very informative. There's one thing that was mentioned. Do you have to take the clear film off the nozel of the replacement cartridges?
I got a epson wf 7840 I wanna convert it to do sublimation prints can I get the cosmos conversion kit to do it or wut do u recommend I should I’m scared imma mess it up I’m all brand new at this so idk wut to buy for this printer....... wut kind of ink, cartridges, etc. plz get back wit me ASAP thx g 🙏🏽
No, you can't use the ink that comes with the printer to print on T-shirts. The ink that comes with the printer is regular ink and won't work for printing on T-shirts. To successfully print on fabric, you'll need to switch to sublimation ink or another type of fabric-compatible ink. Using the standard cartridges won't give you the results you're looking for on T-shirts.
Unfortunately, as of now, it's still not possible to install chipless firmware on the WF 7820. There isn't a chipless software available for this printer model, so you'll need to continue purchasing new chips when the cartridges run low since they don't reset. I know it’s not the ideal solution, but it's the only option at the moment.
Hello, your video is great and helped me a lot. We bought the WF-7840. My husband and I followed all your instructions, but for some reason it isn’t printing test page? It run through and is a blank piece of paper. 😩 Any ideas what could be happening? Any help would be so appreciated! Thank you.
Hi Joshua, i did a google search and really wasn't able to find any other places to order them. There are a couple of people on etsy that are selling them.
I have converted. My first time doing this. I guess I chose the wrong printer since there isn’t a lot of videos out there and most say you cannot use this model. But the initialization was complete and I’m using asub paper but it won’t print anything. Help! I’m wasting print outs and “ink” since these chips only work until the printer estimates the ink should be gone. Also, any idea on when they 3rd party cartridges might be available to get around this work around?
If you still have the original Epson cartridges, take the chips off the refillable cartridges and place them back on the original ink. See if the printer will print with the original ink.
Seeing as this is not an auto reset chip....how cost effective is it? I read in one of your comments that you estimated the cost at 78 cents. How did you come to that price? Approximately how many pages can you print per cartridge before having to buy new epson cartridge (for the chip)? Looks like new cartridges are $60 - $70.
Hi Valarie, i got about 90 prints out of my first fill. So i calculated the price of the new set $70 divided by the 90 prints = $0.78. However, that definitely varies depending on the size prints that you are printing out. I mainly print mugs and tumblers. if you are printing t shirts and large hd panels then the amount of prints will be a lot less. The printer at this point without the auto reset chip is not very cost effective. That is why its very important to keep track of the number of prints and add the cost to your items.
Thanks for the information!!! I have tried all of this and tried a test print and my inage came out with lines, the next print there was no ink on the paper. Not sure what happened!! I've tried doing a print head cleaning, and print head nozzle check and at one point there was lines but for only 3 of the inks and now again a blank piece of paper. Even let the printer sit overnight and still nothing. Just don't understand what went wrong.
If you still have the original Epson cartridges, take the chips off the refillable cartridges and place them back on the original ink. See if the printer will print with the original ink.
It saids that everytime you run low on ink you will have to buy original epson ink cartridges and removed them chips from them over and over again isn't that an expensive proposition? Have you experience that or were you able to reset them
hi Edgar, it can be an expensive proposition especially if you are printing large prints. Yes, i have experienced that. Once the chip reads empty you have to buy original Epson ink for the new chip. That's why its very important to price your items correctly taking that into consideration.
So I set everything up and it’s not printing at all. Very tiny fractions of a line appear, I think I filled them wrong... would that cause this issue!? Thanks in advance
I have the epson 7820 & I bought cosmo ink that came with cartridges .. but the black cartridge from cosmos ink is bigger then the epson cartridge and I don’t think it fits .. will I have to buy new refillable cartridges with no chip?
Hey thanks for that,because I just bought the Epson WF-7820 waiting for my cartridges to convert the ink..Question,can I use the the A-Sub 125 G paper on black shirts as well?
Hi there, thank you for the informative video! I used the same brands listed in your links but the printer is not recognizing the black converted cartridge it seems that the black cartridge is the only one having issues. I was very careful with the chips so I’m not sure what is wrong. Please help!
Hi do you know how I can get the lines out of my printer ? I ha e converted this one to sublimation and cannot find a video and I’m nervous cause I don’t wanna mess up the ink chips
Have you noticed that it happens if you let the printer sit without use for a day or two? I have the same thing happen. If i let it sit for a couple of day i first do a print head cleaning. I try to print something from the printer even if its a small image at least every other day to stop that from happening.
Araceli, my plan was to run the manufacture inks first to ensure the printer works fine with no issues. However, i completely forgot and switched out the chips and ran the sub inks directly. I haven't had any issues at all.
Thanks for replying one more question did you prime with the syringe or did you prime by just running a head cleaning thank you again for your great videos
@@LeeLeesCraft Thanks again I just had to subscribe , cool straight forward video, actually I just got back from office Max and bought the 7820, about the priming I asked cause covering another Epson all I did was run 5 head cleaning and 1 nozzle check that was it , anyways thanks again for the reply , ill be looking out for more of your videos
I filled up my cartridges with cosmo ink but once I put the cartridges my printer says “install the ink cartridge correctly” what does that mean? I heard them snap in
According to Epson, If you see an error screen telling you an ink cartridge is installed incorrectly, lift up the scanner unit and press the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place. When you're finished, select OK
These are the steps that I take to try to resolve that issue. Take the problem cartridge out of the printer, shut the printer off, disconnect it from the power, press and hold the on button for about 10 seconds and let go. Reconnect the power and turn it back on. After the printer finishes loading, try the ink again.
Hello, My husband purchased a Epson 7840 printer, when I printed my first image, lines came out on my image. Do you have any advice? I’m using the Cricut for the program.
Hi Erika, the Epson 7840 and the 7820 are the same. The 7840 just has two paper tray while the 7820 only has one. You'll be able to convert it using the same ink and cartridge that i posted in the video description.
Hello thank you for this amazing video! I was looking into the cartridges you linked I read that the cartridges do not reset when I refill so I would have to buy new cartridges just for the chips. Have you been doing this or did you find a better alternative than having to buy new cartridges simply for the chips? Thank you in advance 😁
Hi Angie, Yes i was doing that for a while and still am when i need to print large prints. However, for anything that i can print on a 8.5x11 sheet i am now using an Epson ET-2760. I will be doing a video on it.
Hi Jamille, what printer settings are you using and what size prints are you printing? I started printer 12x12 HD panels and they go through a lot of ink. i can probably only get about 10 HD panels per cartridge fill.
I apologize if I missed it but can you give me the link to where to buy the cartridges and the best ink. when I look it's every number but 7820 and I'm scared to buy the wrong one.
Hi, Bernadette, here is the link for the cartridges and the ink that i am using. 802xl Refillable Cartridge set (No Chips) www.dynamitegorilla.com/product-page/802xl-refillable-cartridge-set-no-chips INKXPRO 4 X 100ml Professional True Color Sublimation Ink amzn.to/3ncG6RB
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your printer. It can be frustrating when things don't work as expected, especially after following all the steps. Sometimes, even small details can make a big difference. Double-check that your printer recognizes the sublimation ink cartridges and that the ink is properly primed. Also, ensure you've selected the correct print settings for sublimation in your printer software. If everything seems right and it’s still not working, feel free to share more details, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot! 😊
I'm thinking of getting a Epson 7820 do you think I should get the warranty with it? I think I read somewhere that if printer is converted to sub and messes up they warranty will not be honored. Also, should I use the Epson ink until empty before pulling the chips out? Just seems wasteful to not use them.
Hi Peajay, no you can’t use the Epson ink. If you use the Epson ink the chip will register as empty and you won’t be able to use it. This is what consumer law says about using aftermarket ink, “Consumer law states that a manufacturer's warranty cannot be voided due to using aftermarket consumables (ink cartridges or toner). It is the responsibility of the printer manufacturer to prove that an the compatible printer cartridge or toner caused the damage before refusing warranty repair”. So if you normally get warranties then I would get it. Of course this isn’t legal advise. Just what I would do.
@@LeeLeesCraft No. I saw someone's video who has it and said it prints very slow. She said it takes forever. I got the Epson Eco 2760 and I have not converted it to sublimate. It's ok. I do like how easy it is to add the ink. That was the other reason for getting the eco. I don't have time for buying extra to convert the 7820, swapping out chips and extra cartridges. That adds up. I am using the original ink up first in 2760 if I keep it for sublimation. I may buy the Epson Eco 15000 for Sublimation and large printing and keep the 2760 for regular printing. Right now the 15000 is not in my budget.
Are you to remove the bottom plastic tab/groove on the bottom of the new cartridge? It looks like the chip is not secure and flush to the new cartridge due to this one tab. Any assistance would be appreciated. And also don’t know if there will be errors once these are put into printer like others seem to have 🙏🏻
Hi Candace, i just finished uploading a new video about re-filling the cartridges. I try to explain the steps a little better. Take a look at that video and if you still have more questions fill free to send me an email at leeleescraftstore@gmail.com
@@LeeLeesCraft Thank you!! I ended up removing the little tab on bottom of the new cartridges and it worked! The only problem is my image did not transfer exactly the right colors. The green printed GOLD and the red was more pink. I will message you. Maybe you can help! It may be something I did or shirt I used.
Vanessa, yes, you can use the 802xl cartridge with pigment ink. Just keep in mind until a converter kit or chipless drivers comes out for that printer you will need a new set of Epson Ink to remove the chips from every time the cartridge is empty.
Sorry to hear the printer isn’t recognizing the cyan ink. You can give this a try. Take the cyan ink out of the printer, shut the printer off, disconnect it from the power, press and hold the on button for about 10 seconds and let go. Reconnect the power and turn it back on. After the printer finishes loading, try the ink again. Let me know if you have any luck with that.
Hello. I followed you all the way and then my printer did an update and now the ink catridges wont work. It states Initial Ink Cartridge detected. What do I do?
But once you hit Epson's initial yield, you will need to go and get Epson's manufacturer cartridges and do this all over again pretty much. Hopefully, chipless or augmented cartridges will soon release.
Hi Ushonda, you are interested in sending me the refillable cartridges so i can add the Epson chips and fill them for you?

Hi I just converted my Epson wf 7820 to sublimation printer when installing the driver can I just choose printer driver only ? My computer is recommending to install combo package includes driver scanner fax software updater. I was told not to ever update firmware.
Hi Monica! I just ran into this issue. I initially converted successfully then I got a firmware update and now my printer will not recognize 3 of my cartridges. I'm SO blowed! Im desperately searching for a solution. All other solutions have not been successful.
Hello. I just purchased a 7820 and would like to convert it. Am I able to use it as a regular printer for a few weeks? With the original cartridges? I did purchase empty cartridges with chips; off of Etsy. TIA.
You can switch the cartridges to the sublimation ink. However, you will need to do several print head cleanings to flush out the old ink. That will use up your first set of sublimation ink reasonably quickly and the chip. The bad thing about this printer, for now, is the need to purchase new Epson ink cartridges every time the printer says empty.
Hi Anais, send me an email to leeleescraftstore@gmail.com and i'll try to put a list together for you. Are you needing to print up to 13x19? If you can get away with printing on 8.5x11 i would recommend another printer? Email me letting me know what you are looking to do.

@@LeeLeesCraft Thanks again I just had to subscribe , cool straight forward video, actually I just got back from office Max and bought the 7820, about the priming I asked cause covering another Epson all I did was run 5 head cleaning and 1 nozzle check that was it , anyways thanks again for the reply , ill be looking out for more of your videos
I filled up my cartridges with cosmo ink but once I put the cartridges my printer says “install the ink cartridge correctly” what does that mean? I heard them snap in
According to Epson, If you see an error screen telling you an ink cartridge is installed incorrectly, lift up the scanner unit and press the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place. When you're finished, select OK
I’m on my second round of refilling my cartridges and now it’s saying it doesn’t reco my cartridges. I’m freaking out! Help 😩😩
It doesn’t recognize them now after refilling
Hi Nicole, sorry to hear that you are having issues. Send me an email to leeleescraftstore@gmail.com and i'll try to help you out.
I need help with this also
I’m having that same issue. Help
These are the steps that I take to try to resolve that issue. Take the problem cartridge out of the printer, shut the printer off, disconnect it from the power, press and hold the on button for about 10 seconds and let go. Reconnect the power and turn it back on. After the printer finishes loading, try the ink again.
what happens when the chip read full?
Reron, for now you'll need chips from a new set of Epson Ink.
@@LeeLeesCraft and you don't see the problem? Thanks for getting back to me today.
Hello,
My husband purchased a Epson 7840 printer, when I printed my first image, lines came out on my image. Do you have any advice? I’m using the Cricut for the program.
Do they look like small train tracks?
@@LeeLeesCraft The first image I printed, the lines are going across. I printed a different image and that one has small tracks.
What kind of device are u using to do your work?
Do you mean the printer or computer?
Mine now says is low ink even though is not ! Not sure what to do 😔
Hi Laura, It'll say low/ empty once the chips register that it has used the amount of ink it was set to use up.
Converting my 7840 this week
Awesome, let me know how it goes. What ink and cartridge are you going to be using?
Are you going to upload a video on how to convert the 7840? A friend and I just purchased and would greatly appreciate a how to video.
Hi Erika, the Epson 7840 and the 7820 are the same. The 7840 just has two paper tray while the 7820 only has one. You'll be able to convert it using the same ink and cartridge that i posted in the video description.
@@LeeLeesCraft thanks
You're welcome, if you and your friend have any problems converting it send me a message and i'll see how i might be able to help.
Hello thank you for this amazing video! I was looking into the cartridges you linked I read that the cartridges do not reset when I refill so I would have to buy new cartridges just for the chips. Have you been doing this or did you find a better alternative than having to buy new cartridges simply for the chips? Thank you in advance 😁
Hi Angie, Yes i was doing that for a while and still am when i need to print large prints. However, for anything that i can print on a 8.5x11 sheet i am now using an Epson ET-2760. I will be doing a video on it.
Got it thank you so much
You're welcome
My ink went out after 17 pages is there anyway I can slow the process down. I saw that yours was half after 18 help please
Hi Jamille, what printer settings are you using and what size prints are you printing? I started printer 12x12 HD panels and they go through a lot of ink. i can probably only get about 10 HD panels per cartridge fill.
I’m printing on 13 * 19 A sub p
@@LeeLeesCraft let me watch your video on printer settings
Did you get to watch the video that showed the setting that i am using? Yes printing on 13x19 will go through a lot of ink.
I apologize if I missed it but can you give me the link to where to buy the cartridges and the best ink. when I look it's every number but 7820 and I'm scared to buy the wrong one.
Hi, Bernadette, here is the link for the cartridges and the ink that i am using.

@@LeeLeesCraft thank you so much I appreciate you!!
You're welcome.
I don’t know what we have done wrong…but I just can get my printer to print with the sub ink. We followed everything I thought perfectly 😢
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your printer. It can be frustrating when things don't work as expected, especially after following all the steps. Sometimes, even small details can make a big difference. Double-check that your printer recognizes the sublimation ink cartridges and that the ink is properly primed. Also, ensure you've selected the correct print settings for sublimation in your printer software. If everything seems right and it’s still not working, feel free to share more details, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot! 😊
I'm thinking of getting a Epson 7820 do you think I should get the warranty with it? I think I read somewhere that if printer is converted to sub and messes up they warranty will not be honored. Also, should I use the Epson ink until empty before pulling the chips out? Just seems wasteful to not use them.
Hi Peajay, no you can’t use the Epson ink. If you use the Epson ink the chip will register as empty and you won’t be able to use it. This is what consumer law says about using aftermarket ink, “Consumer law states that a manufacturer's warranty cannot be voided due to using aftermarket consumables (ink cartridges or toner). It is the responsibility of the printer manufacturer to prove that an the compatible printer cartridge or toner caused the damage before refusing warranty repair”. So if you normally get warranties then I would get it. Of course this isn’t legal advise. Just what I would do.
Hi Peajay, did you end up getting the Epson 7820?
@@LeeLeesCraft No. I saw someone's video who has it and said it prints very slow. She said it takes forever. I got the Epson Eco 2760 and I have not converted it to sublimate. It's ok. I do like how easy it is to add the ink. That was the other reason for getting the eco. I don't have time for buying extra to convert the 7820, swapping out chips and extra cartridges. That adds up. I am using the original ink up first in 2760 if I keep it for sublimation. I may buy the Epson Eco 15000 for Sublimation and large printing and keep the 2760 for regular printing. Right now the 15000 is not in my budget.
question: Can those cartridges from Dynamite Gorilla be refillable with the same original chip with the epson 7820?????
Each time you refill the cartridges if the printer says its empty you'll need new epson chips.
Where do you get new epson chips each time?
@@LeeLeesCraft can you get epson chips without buying the whole cartridges? Thanks! Love your videos!
melissa Jarvis you’d have to buy new epson cartridges everytime to get the chips
Can you convert the printer back to an inkjet?
Yes, you would just need to use regular ink.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
There is a kit coming soon from cosmos ink for this specific printer.
Yes, i contacted cosmos ink a few weeks ago regarding the kit and they still don't when they'll be getting it.
I just emailed them yesterday and received a quick response “we will be carrying them once we can get them”. No time line.
Bought the cartridges from dynamic gorilla and the chips do not stay in. Am I missing something??
Are you to remove the bottom plastic tab/groove on the bottom of the new cartridge? It looks like the chip is not secure and flush to the new cartridge due to this one tab. Any assistance would be appreciated. And also don’t know if there will be errors once these are put into printer like others seem to have 🙏🏻
Hi Candace, i just finished uploading a new video about re-filling the cartridges. I try to explain the steps a little better. Take a look at that video and if you still have more questions fill free to send me an email at leeleescraftstore@gmail.com
@@LeeLeesCraft Thank you!! I ended up removing the little tab on bottom of the new cartridges and it worked! The only problem is my image did not transfer exactly the right colors. The green printed GOLD and the red was more pink. I will message you. Maybe you can help! It may be something I did or shirt I used.
Hi, How did you get the print onto the T-shirt?
Hi, after you print out the design you press it on a shirt that is at least 65% polyester. Then you press at 375 degrees for 45 seconds.
Check out my video on how to sublimate on a t-shirt.
I did everything but its printing really light now I can't download the software because my laptop is not compatible do you have any tips?
It's fairly hard to do without the printer driver. They have the driver available for both Windows and Mac.
i have a question? Can I convert my 7820 to pigment ink, using the 802xl? I already have the 7720 converted to sublimation. TIA
Vanessa, yes, you can use the 802xl cartridge with pigment ink. Just keep in mind until a converter kit or chipless drivers comes out for that printer you will need a new set of Epson Ink to remove the chips from every time the cartridge is empty.
Thank you I remember you saying that
You're welcome.
Thanks for your help! Can I contact if I have questions. I’m just starting my own business as well and had to buy a 7820 so thanks for this video!

I have an issue with the cyan, it’s saying it does not recognize. Any suggestions?
Sorry to hear the printer isn’t recognizing the cyan ink. You can give this a try. Take the cyan ink out of the printer, shut the printer off, disconnect it from the power, press and hold the on button for about 10 seconds and let go. Reconnect the power and turn it back on. After the printer finishes loading, try the ink again. Let me know if you have any luck with that.
Thank you! I will try that and let you know.
You're welcome.
@@LeeLeesCraft I tried the steps you gave to possibly reset the cyan chip, but it did not work. Are there any other steps I could try?
Hello. I followed you all the way and then my printer did an update and now the ink catridges wont work. It states Initial Ink Cartridge detected. What do I do?
Hi Regina, i replied back to your email.
I can’t get mine to work either! Very frustrating! Can you email me some help!
But once you hit Epson's initial yield, you will need to go and get Epson's manufacturer cartridges and do this all over again pretty much. Hopefully, chipless or augmented cartridges will soon release.
Yes, i am hoping that they come out soon. However, this is a way for people to get started without having their printers just sitting there.
How much will you charge if I send the cartridges to you?
Hi Ushonda, you are interested in sending me the refillable cartridges so i can add the Epson chips and fill them for you? I might be able to offer you a 30 minutes one on one via skype or facetime and walk you through the process so you can learn how to do it yourself. Send me an email at leeleescraftstore@gmail.com.
Hi I just converted my Epson wf 7820 to sublimation printer when installing the driver can I just choose printer driver only ? My computer is recommending to install combo package includes driver scanner fax software updater. I was told not to ever update firmware.

Hello. I just purchased a 7820 and would like to convert it. Am I able to use it as a regular printer for a few weeks? With the original cartridges? I did purchase empty cartridges with chips; off of Etsy. TIA.
It seems like alot of people in the comments are having a hard time with converting the printer.
Yes Sir 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Hi, quick question. Can I set up the printer with simulation even though I'm already using the printer for regular print jobs?
You can switch the cartridges to the sublimation ink. However, you will need to do several print head cleanings to flush out the old ink. That will use up your first set of sublimation ink reasonably quickly and the chip. The bad thing about this printer, for now, is the need to purchase new Epson ink cartridges every time the printer says empty.
So i need to buy the regular ink Everytime i run out ,just for the chips?
Unfortunately, for now you do.
@@LeeLeesCraft what a bummer ,thanks for replying ❤️
You're welcome, there are some companies working on a chipless driver for that printer. I will post more when they come out.
