Thank you for your video. It gave me a great idea . I tried it and it worked. If you like you can make another video and try my method. I just opened one color at a time and put the empty ink bottle on it. And flipped the printer over the sink, just in case. It worked perfectly and all the ink went back into the bottle. I repeated that for all the colors. Then I just let the small amount of ink that was left in the printer drain into a container in the sink. It worked out fine. I used acetone to get some small splashes off. But I think my only mistake is I should have tapes the lids of the colo compartments on the printer open. That way no splashes of ink. Also, tape the scanner lid and the paper tray so they won't break or cause any trouble. Good luck 😊
Thank you!!! I have a 2800 and couldn't open it. But this way is so much up my alley! I want to turn it back into an inkjet printer since I bought my 15000 Epson.
Thank you for this post! In the kitchen sink I drained each ink tank from my broken 2720 sub printer into a glass measuring cup, then put it back into another sublimation bottle with a rubber kitchen funnel and reused it in my new 8550 printer.
I inadvertently added yellow to the cyan chamber and cyan to the yellow chamber 😢 Your video saved me a LOT of time compared to the other videos which included the use of screw drivers and syringes… all better now. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you! This is a very good video. I grabbed my regular black printer ink and filled the tank before I realized I had the wrong bottle. So, this was fantastic and easy enough!!@@
Thank you for the video!! I accidentally put the regular 522 Epson ink into my new printer, which did not sublimate my cups correctly. I'd like to know how to clean it because I hear a lot of UA-camrs saying that they can clean it but do not actually do it. So now that I have actually seen how you clean it, I can do the same for my printer. Instead of throwing away the ink, I will save it and put it back into my bottles using a syringe.
Absolutely Samantha!! Make sure you drain the regular Epson ink thoroughly, say about 5-7minutes, please don't rush. Then put in the new Sublimation ink and then do couple of test run to acclimate the machine to the new sub-ink. You can do.... Good luck.
I did this same exact mistake I am waiting for the sublimation ink I am trying to find videos to convert it to sumblimation with this situation and I think this is the way to go I just don’t know how I would set the printer do I have to do something in the settings after I put the ink in?
I did the same thing... but my sublimation photo is not working on my tumbler... did it work for u?.. I did fellow this video and emptied it all then added sublimation ink but still not working
@@LaurenBruce-softball soo I actually used syringes and took all the old ink out and made sure it was all out then used clean syringes and added the sublimation ink I reset my printer like unplugged it then printed to see if it came through it took me a bunch and I mean a bunch of times to get the prints to fully print right
No one hear consider running clear toner fluid to thoroughly clean out the chamber, tubes and heads? Just curious if anyone has tried that (may be not required?)
Great video! I converted my printer to sublimation, but I didn't use it often, and now I think it's clogged. 🤔 Now I want to convert it back to a regular paper printer. Can this be done?
@@blanqitaahful Thanks! I believe it can be done, my only concern would be the sublimation ink maybe a little thicker than the regular ink, and my not work properly. But remember, we all try something different every day and if it works, share it with the rest of us. It will be helpful and worth it.
Hello. I have a problem with the Epson ET 2814 printer. At the same time, 4 lights flash, namely the power button, the lower wifi light and both ink and paper lights. Thank you for your help.
Merry Christmas! How old is the machine? Are you still have warranty? Because there’s so many issues at the same time. Are you using the right ink? Try to power down, I mean unplugged from the machine, the wall and allow to sit for about 10 minutes before plugging it back. Also, try to delete and reinstall if possible. If none of this works, call EPSON
Hello. Thanks for your reply. The printer is two and a half years old. I use original Epson ink. I unplugged the printer for 24 hours and the problem is the same. The power button doesn't work because when I press it the printer won't turn off. I tried various combinations, such as pressing the power button and the Farba button for 15 seconds, but still nothing.
Yes because Ive tried like 5 different images after putting the sub ink in and it was printing on my sub paper but it was not transferring to my tumbler. I ran it like 6 more times and now I see it's trying but still light. Maybe after running it an extra 10/20 more times it will be fully ready to sublimate to my tumblers!
Sublimation ink is supposed to printer lighter UNTIL PRESSED you will see the full colors also give it 24 hours to set after adding sub ink as in all sub printers.
Don’t! The tanks have a breathable film type vent at the top - basically like a piece of gauze. When this eventually dries out - and it will - the inks will lock up and stop flowing as the system will no longer be vented.
I bought the ET2800 and accidentally put the regular ink and immediately took it out and inserted the sublimation ink. However, my sublimation won't transfer to my sublimation mugs. Do you have any idea why? I did empty it out, but there's always a little bit that left that doesn't come out.
@@nellykarpinski799 Morning I will recommend that while pouring the ink out, give it time to drain. Then prior to pouring the sublimation ink, run some prints on regular paper until the ink prints looks extremely thin, then pour in the sublimation ink. After the sub-ink, if I was you, I will try 2-3 test prints before feeling ok that’s everything is fine. I hoped this helps! If you came up with a great idea, please share with the rest of us. And also, share my site with friends and family. Have a blessed day!!
Hi, sorry to hear that. I can’t recall experiencing that, unless if some of the ink when draining mistakenly went inside the machine. You may have to call tech support for the scanner error, I hope your machine is sublimating well. Good luck
Can I drain 1 at a time? I can use them for another inkjet printer I have so I don't have to buy more? This is the EASIEST extraction I've seen.. thank you!!
@@JEBULLC How many times do we need to run the printer to get the ink out of the cartridge before adding Sublimation ink? I've ran the printer so much that now the only color that is coming out is blue
@@tiawhite2498 Tia, what I did was I left the printer to drain for about 20 minutes and then refilled with Sublimation ink. I’ve not had any issues since then
@@melissasoto9365 Melissa, I took my time in draining the ink out. And later add the new Sublimation ink to replace the regular ink. It works and the machine works
Hi Camille, I feel you. I felt the same way, but once you put the Sublimation Ink to replace the one that came with the printer, you'll admire the work that came out of the printer. Since I did mine, my work for clients has improved tremendously Good Luck!

Great to hear that 🙏
This was absolutely the easiest method. LOL I was researching for a while and was like, let me just try this and it worked perfectly for my ET2800
Thank you, am happy I could help
Ok I got that done in about minutes including the clean up. It can get a little messy on your hands but the ink is gone. Thank you again.
You’re welcome 👍
Thank you so much. Wish I would have seen your video before I bought the syringes and tubes. You Rock!
Thank you so very much for your straight to the point directions
Happy to help
Excellent video. Easiest way by far to empty the ink. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much 👏🏾👏🏾 can this process also be done on an epson et-2810??
Thank you! This is a very good video. I grabbed my regular black printer ink and filled the tank before I realized I had the wrong bottle. So, this was fantastic and easy enough!!@@
🙏 you’re welcome
I did that, too. Were you able to empty just the one color? I don't want to empty all of them, since the rest are ok.
I did that too. All colors!! 😂
Same!!

Ive done this and its printing but its subimating very lightly! Should i run it a few times to get to the sublimation ink!!?? Could that be the issue?
Please do that, it will help the ink to flow more easier .

Wouldn’t there still be ink in the tubes of the printer? How do I get that out?
