    If you're looking to getting into dye sublimation printing the Epson ecotank printer is probably one of the cheapest avenues. In this video I show you the simple process of converting a new Eco Tank Epson Printer to be able to print using dye sublimating inks. It's quite easy really. Be sure to follow my channel for future sublimation projects and tips when working with dye sub.

    Hello! I have an Epson EcoTank model and i have already used the original Pigment ink included with it, after it almost reaches near the bottom limit of the tank, would it permanently damage my printer if i started to put the newly Dye Ink Mate i bought? or i could just keep printing till it finishes the older ink and it would just start using the new one? Many thanks in advance :)

      @katharinastich5668 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The easiest way is to buy empty tanks. Otherwise you can buy a cleaning kit. If the printer was used with normal ink you defenetly need the cleaning kit (including printheaf cleaning solution) to make sure there is no more ink in the system, if you don't remove all the ink your results may not turn out as they are supposed to...

    Thank you for this video. Printer question
    I am 99% there to start doing sublimation. From what I've read and seen on TH-cam, Epson printers are most popular.
    I just want to make sure: If I buy a brand new Ecotank printer and use sublimation ink from the start, there is no "conversion" needed as it has never used "normal" ink.
    Am I right? I understand that I break the warranty and so on, but I am, based on your video, that it should work.
