Once you put that ink in the printer your printer becomes a sublimation printer and that's it, your essentially stripping it of its original capabilities to do only one thing print sublimation sheets. Not to mention you just voided your warranty. Eco tanks can dry out and suffer from the same issues as any inkjet printer. So you will never truly clean your printer of old residue. In fact the flushing your discussing is flushing the printer heads not the tubing, cartridges or the tank which will contaminate your Sublimation ink. So buying new should be your only option, if this is what you want to do, and there is no way to go 'truly' back unless you know what your doing on taking apart your printer (youtube videos are not good for that) I want to put this out there to educate people.
Thank you so much for this for this video! I’ve had this printer almost a year and just felt overwhelmed on transferring the ink idk why but I was. I have all kinds of blanks and projects ready to be made 🎉 now I am getting started! 🎉
I wish I could give you 1000 thumbs-up. Thanks for making this so simple. I kept putting off setting up my machine, now, I feel confident enough to go ahead and do it.
Thanks for this video. I've watched others that show using syringes to fill the tanks. Your method seems simple and practical but I had not thought of it before. This will make things so much easier.
Hello my beautiful friend, So glad that I was able to watch your video this morning. Very nice, You are amazing and I am such a huge fan from Florida. I love your channel
if it wasn't for this video I would be lost I have seen so many and they weren't as amazing and as this one, thank you so much I started mine today and everything have printed looks beautiful so I want to thank you
Great video!! Captain Jacks sublimation ink comes with the eco tank heads so it’s even easier. You don’t have to empty the ink the printer comes with. Just fill it per the video. 🤓
Is the Captain Jacks sublimation ink good? Iv got my mug press, going to get my printer today and I wasnt sure which brand of ink to use for the sublimation but if the Captain Jacks one has the heads that fit this printer, then it saves any hassel washing out bottles etc
Awesome video! I just purchased this printer today from Target for $199 plus my daughter 10% employee discount plus my 5% Target members discount. I am so excited.
Thank you for this video! I’m wanting to do things just as a hobby, and don’t see purchasing one of those expensive printers. This helped make up my mind. Easy to understand. Thank you so much!
this video was awesome. I just got the Mug Press and wanted to put family history photos on the mugs for Christmas! Thank you for your clear instructions. will save for later. now to get a printer!!!
Thank you thank you thank you! I have had my printer for months and never opened it cause I was scared to start. This made it so easy to do. I’m excited now.
This would have been nice to know before adding the ink that came with printer. LOL Now I have to wait finish all the ink in my printer before doing the sublimation ink. Thank you so much for the video!! Amazing!
Hi Jenny thank you for the video, I want to know please on what must I print HTV or is there something else. I'm new with all this I just start now so I have a lot to learn.
I have this but it’s been printing lines no matter how many times I do nozzle clean etc and then on quiet mode it prints better but leaves blobs of ink
Hi. Thanks for this video. I found it after I plugged my printer in, turned it on and synced with my desktop. I haven’t added any ink yet. Should I just unplug it and then follow your steps.
Have a WF 7720 that I have to send for warranty repairs, (love the thing but so many issues) and am buying this as a replacement until then. Only feature I’ll miss is no support for 11x17 paper (which I use a lot)
@@onthefarmwithsmokymist47 You need a printer that supports it, Epson’s customer service is trash. The WF 7720 was 3 months old and they wouldn’t do anything. The ET 2720 works good, but isn’t able to use 11x17
I just received my printer Epson 2720 I didn’t know that I had to put sublimation Ink in the printer so I have the ink is in there they came with my printer so what do I do now thank you for your help
I have this printer and sublimation ink. When I go to print the picture the color is different then the picture on the computer. Why is it doing that?? Do I needed to change the ink setting to sublimation? If do , can you show me how to do that?
Thank you for this video bcz I bought a epson 2720 printer for sublimation printing and later found out that it can't be used for that purpose I was very distraught thinking I would have to buy another and found out that they were very heavily priced. But I have a question and I hope that there is a simple solution which doesn't put me back to square 1. I had already put the ink that came with the printer into it as I have seen where u thoroughly washed the ink containers before putting the sublimation ink in them. So I know I may have to wait until its finished before putting in the sublimation ink but I know there will still be lots of residue from the other ink left back will my printer or my items be damaged if I try to print with it. Hope I'm clear
Hello, thank you for the video guide :) I have a question about srying out of the Ink within the Printer. Is this a thing that you letting the printer sit for a couple of days?
Can you please tell me where I can get cartridges for an Epson ET-4700 printer? I've looked everywhere cosmos ink didn't have any not even the Epson company itself I've tried Amazon and etsy eBay local office stores
What type of paper are you using to do this I have the same printer but I have the regular ink still in the tank what can I do. I want to do mothers day cards and need some assistance. please and thank you
Thank you for this video. I have had my ET2720 for months now but sublimation scares the life out of me. It seems so difficult but your video makes it look super easy. My question is "What will you do with the original ink that it came with?" From my understanding, once you convert the printer, you can't use the original ink anymore so is it just useless?
Hi, such a Great video, very clear. I've got my printer but I'm stuck at the set up part where i connect my laptop to printer😏. Do you have any videos showing this. Do i need to use the CD that came with the printer? Also wanted to ask you...When you transfer Epson ink into other bottles, what do you do with that ink? Can it be used for anything otherwise why did you not just pour it away....just wondered?
As long as the ink is the same you can just add more ink. But I think if you change it to something, different brand or different type of ink, you will have to clean out the cartridge tank and then refill it. I believe they have a solution specifically for doing that though
Most people convert the different models of Epson Ecotanks, since you fill the tanks yourself. Different models are more expensive but have more printing capabilities and print sizes
Hey u think I can do it with a regular home iron?? I have the sublet paper and the same ink u are using and the same printer , cuase I been trying and trying and nothing ...
@@EverydayJenny is that I didn't want to take it out the box .lol.. .but now I have a nother problem only if I can send a pic for u or u know wat let me do a video ilk let u know for u can let me know wat I'm doing wrong ...thanks
I noticed your print looked faded but once pressed on the mug and onesie, was very bright!! So far, all of my prints are faded. I have messed with icc profiles and still, faded colors. I am using a standard mug heat press, not cricut tho. Any suggestions? Thank you for this video by the way, it was so so helpful
So i have this Same printer and i already put the ink that came with the printer in there.. Is there anyway to fix that or switch it in the future??? Or is that ink comparable with sublimation??
im guessing if you do this youll only be able to use it for sublimation and nothing else. similar to if you use it for normal printing you cant use it for sublimation. you gotta have a designated printer for it?
Even though I switch out the ink to sublimation ink ; am I still able yo use this as a regular printer even though the ink is different like if I need to print out regular letters/files.
Hi I want to buy a sublimation printer ,but I don't no why printers say Et2720 Others have difrent price with difrent # like Et4800 and so on what is that ? Does it matter
HELLO @Everyday Jenny my question is which print settings you used for this print, is it normal print settings or normal vivid print settings, or different one? It looks so vivid/vibrant at the end after heat press. Thank u in advance :))
Can you go back to using it as a regular printer later? Like the ink you kept in the bottles, you just put it back in? Great tutorial. Very informative.
Thank you so much. So once you change it over to sublimation it no longer can be turned back to a regular printer. Good thing you said that, I might have tried that.. Thank you again.
If I have already been using my ET 2720 with the regular ink that comes with the printer but would like to start sublimation on the printer would I let that ink run out and then start using the sublimation ink to convert it and start making prints to transfer?
I’ve been researching sublimation printers and trying to see how it all works. This tutorial was great! Thank you so much!!

Thank you thank you thank you! I have had my printer for months and never opened it cause I was scared to start. This made it so easy to do. I’m excited now.
I bought mine 3 months ago, haven't set up yet. Thank you for sharing this. Cute onesie
You got this let’s start crafting🥰
Just got my ink and printer in today. Seen other videos, but your was so simple. Thanks
what printer setting did you use, besides making sure to reverse image? What type of paper did you choose in settings, etc....thanks!! Laurie
Good question
Premium presentation matte paper in settings. High print quality. Turn off bidirectional printing.
Going to buy this printer now. You help me finally decide. Lol for the fabric it has to say sublimination blank or just polyester high count
what paper do you use for this? i’m not sure if i should get a specific one
This would have been nice to know before adding the ink that came with printer. LOL Now I have to wait finish all the ink in my printer before doing the sublimation ink. Thank you so much for the video!! Amazing!
So happy I came across your channel I just brought one today. Your video is so easy to follow you have a new follower
I have Epson Eco Tank ET2720 i already put Epson ink the Tank. just need some help ? if I have purchase another printer?
I actually look something helpful for ideas on my small business like this sublimation printing.this video really helps
Hi Jenny thank you for the video, I want to know please on what must I print HTV or is there something else. I'm new with all this I just start now so I have a lot to learn.
Do you have a video showing how you did the Utah design in cricut?
do u need special paper or just normal paper
Thanks for the short video. Everything I scrolled by was 30 minutes long.
Finally got my sublimation ink and your video is a wonderful step by step ❤
what if the ink was already in the printer can we take it out
I have this but it’s been printing lines no matter how many times I do nozzle clean etc and then on quiet mode it prints better but leaves blobs of ink
If you already use the printer with the ink it came with do you have to reset the printer with the new ink to charge the ink?
Can you use a printer that’s already had normal ink ran through it and make it a sublimation printer???
Hi. Thanks for this video. I found it after I plugged my printer in, turned it on and synced with my desktop. I haven’t added any ink yet. Should I just unplug it and then follow your steps.
Is it possible to switch back and forth to regular ink without having to drain out the sublimation ink every time?
Have a WF 7720 that I have to send for warranty repairs, (love the thing but so many issues) and am buying this as a replacement until then. Only feature I’ll miss is no support for 11x17 paper (which I use a lot)

Can you set this printer up using the Epson smart app?
what is the differrnce between sublimation and regular printer?
Hello, thank you for the video guide :) I have a question about srying out of the Ink within the Printer. Is this a thing that you letting the printer sit for a couple of days?
Do you know how to get the printer to print without lines? I connected the printer to my phone and I can’t figure it out
How many print could you make off of the bottles you poured into the printer
Thank you for the video I’m just getting started with sublimation this was so helpful!

Im so glad u did this on this printer! Did u use a different paper for this one? Or what paper did u use to print it on?
BEST CONVERSION VIDEO!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for your video, by far one of the best.
Thank you so much for this video. I just received this exact printer today. Can’t wait to set it up!😎
So you can’t use the ink it comes with to make t-shirts?
If I don’t do sublimation , would this printer print in vinyl ?
Hi, such a Great video, very clear. I've got my printer but I'm stuck at the set up part where i connect my laptop to printer😏. Do you have any videos showing this. Do i need to use the CD that came with the printer?
Also wanted to ask you...When you transfer Epson ink into other bottles, what do you do with that ink? Can it be used for anything otherwise why did you not just pour it away....just wondered?
When it’s time to refill the Espon is it anything special you have to do? Or do u just add some more ink to the color when it gets low
As long as the ink is the same you can just add more ink. But I think if you change it to something, different brand or different type of ink, you will have to clean out the cartridge tank and then refill it. I believe they have a solution specifically for doing that though
Can I use sublimation ink for print normal paper? Or not pls
Can I use a ET 2850 for sublimation
Does it have to be this printer specifically and if no what other types can be converted like this?
Most people convert the different models of Epson Ecotanks, since you fill the tanks yourself. Different models are more expensive but have more printing capabilities and print sizes
super simple. Thank you for the easy to follow content.
Question! Used same process as you did ! When picture transfer comes put faded and not bright colors
What if the original ink is already use in this printer. How can I convert it to sub printer?
Can we use a regular iron instead of the cricut heat press?
What sublimation paper do you use ?
Thank you
WOW, I was just about to use the syringe method. On my way to Dollar Tree to buy some empty bottles. Thanks for that trick.
Hello! great video! what about the CD? My laptop does not have the CD drive >.
Wow Best Video I've see on converting! Beautiful Job!
This was so helpful. I was on the fence about purchasing but now I'm all in. Thank you.
Please tell me you use witch paper ?
I found a Epson Expression ET- 2760 . Will this be okay?
Hey u think I can do it with a regular home iron?? I have the sublet paper and the same ink u are using and the same printer , cuase I been trying and trying and nothing ...
You need either a heat press or an EasyPress. A regular iron doesn't get hot enough for sublimation transfers.
@@EverydayJenny is that I didn't want to take it out the box .lol..
.but now I have a nother problem only if I can send a pic for u or u know wat let me do a video ilk let u know for u can let me know wat I'm doing wrong ...thanks
@@EverydayJenny hey go check my channel I did a video for you can check it out n ull see wat I'm talking about and please let me know
May I ask what sublimation paper did you use?
Amazing video, thank u so much for simplifying this process 😊 cant wait to do mine now x
Hi. I love the video. I have one question. If I already put the epson ink in my printer can I still convert once I use all the factory ink.
hello what paper size did you set it to?
Every printer I have ever bought already has ink in it… how do you get that out first?
Great video. Do you have a video showing how to creat designs on Cricut space and printing on the epson printer?
I don’t yet
SureColor F170 Dye-Sublimation Printer does it naturally and does void warranty
What kind of paper did you use ? I heard you need a special matte paper for this ?
I noticed your print looked faded but once pressed on the mug and onesie, was very bright!! So far, all of my prints are faded. I have messed with icc profiles and still, faded colors. I am using a standard mug heat press, not cricut tho. Any suggestions? Thank you for this video by the way, it was so so helpful
Are you using sublimation mugs/blanks?
@@HEMPTHEARTIST yes. I finally got it figured it out!! Had to change the ICC profile!!
So i have this Same printer and i already put the ink that came with the printer in there.. Is there anyway to fix that or switch it in the future??? Or is that ink comparable with sublimation??
Omg what happens if I plugged my computer in and turned it on before I did the ink? I didn’t do anything to it yet just turned it on 😩
I have a printer that I want to convert that already has regular ink in it. Suggestions on how to get the ink that's in there drained?
same :( was hoping someone else asked that also
Can’t thank you enough this video was perfection . Thank you for your time
im guessing if you do this youll only be able to use it for sublimation and nothing else. similar to if you use it for normal printing you cant use it for sublimation. you gotta have a designated printer for it?
Even though I switch out the ink to sublimation ink ; am I still able yo use this as a regular printer even though the ink is different like if I need to print out regular letters/files.
You are a genius, thanks for the tip on the bottles.
are you using regular paper ?
What paper did you print on? Is there smaller sized paper i can print on?
Hi I want to buy a sublimation printer ,but I don't no why printers say Et2720
Others have difrent price with difrent # like Et4800 and so on what is that ? Does it matter
What paper did you use ? How big of an image can you print? Could I use on cotton shirts ?
HELLO @Everyday Jenny my question is which print settings you used for this print, is it normal print settings or normal vivid print settings, or different one? It looks so vivid/vibrant at the end after heat press. Thank u in advance :))
I was wondering the same thing. Pls let me know if you found out the answer to this question. Thanks!
Have you had any issues with the print heads clogging up since this video?
Can you go back to using it as a regular printer later? Like the ink you kept in the bottles, you just put it back in? Great tutorial. Very informative.
No! Don't mix normal dye ink with sublimation ink at all.
Thank you so much. So once you change it over to sublimation it no longer can be turned back to a regular printer. Good thing you said that, I might have tried that.. Thank you again.
@@SoulTouching-ms6ro You could, but with hassle of cleaning every ink from damper, printhead, tubes and tanks before replacing back to new ink types.
I’d like to know how can I drained the ink is already in the printer 😩
If you check out my Instagram highlights, under sublimation I show how you can remove the ink.
If I have already been using my ET 2720 with the regular ink that comes with the printer but would like to start sublimation on the printer would I let that ink run out and then start using the sublimation ink to convert it and start making prints to transfer?
You could try. I'm not sure as I have only set mine up with sublimation ink from the start.
I just have 1 question you did not put the epaon ink at all? You completely fill the empty ink boxes withe the new ink
Correct. I don't add the Epson ink, just the sublimation ink.
