Easy quick way to remove ink from my Epson Ecotank for sublimation!

haha

But how do take the rest of the ink out of the system of the tubes inside and the headers?

Can you do a another video showing how it worked

I made the same mistake and thank you for this video. It worked and there was no mess. We did have to print off about a hundred colorfill circles on plain paper to get the rest of the inkjet out of the tubes, but after that it works great! Again thank you for the video!!!!

Why would they give it to you? Omg yes I made the same mistake I'm just going to print till ink is gone

What size tubing did you use

Ooooooooomfg yesssssssssssssss seen this at 4:30 am youuuuuuu save me

I used straws and it worked perfect omg

I’m so glad I’m not the only one!!! Now I guess I better find a straw.. 😩

Where did you get the little hoses and what size I need to do this

I have a used epson with espon ink. Just curious can i just use up all the ink and then add in sublimation ink?

You are sooooo smart and to the point!!! Wooo Hooo

This is brilliant. Had to remove pigment ink from my 2800 b/c it started getting some phantom paper jam error and I bought another 2800 with the intention of switching them and then returning the defective one. Used clear tubing I had. Used a phillips head and heat gun to widen the tube hole, and then connected it and drained it directly back into the pigment bottles. Rinsed and reused the same tube. Took like 5 minutes, can't believe how easy it was. Thanks for this video!

OMG, thank you! I picked your video because it was 3 minutes long. BEST IDEA and results without a 45 minute video and taking the printer apart.

Thank you!!!! You saved me! 😅it works!!!

I did the same mistake lets see if i can empty it

Brand new ECOTANK 15000 and I put the yellow ink in the cyan (nothing has printed so no ink in lines) I want to cry. Going to try this and pray it helps
Anyone done this on a 15000?

So is your printer working great now that you switched the ink???

I made the same mistake!!! Thanks for sharing 🎉

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Im trying to do the reverse. Revert from Sub back to regular ink. (Bought a larger printer for subbing)

did you have to flush it out with alcohol

I made the same mistake, and I changed the ink into the sublimation ink hiippoo brand, but still, my designs not transfere into mugs!! Im using sublimation paper htvront and their htvronf heart press for mugs in temperature 390F and the time for 480 second as recommended. Please if any one can help me to fix this problem I would appreciate it 🙏

Can anyone tell me what those black tubes are please

You should also run the "power clean" option in the maintenance options. That will empty all the old ink that is still in the tubes and Printheads.

I used the same ink bottle that I used to fill the wrong ink flipped my printer upside down and a good amount of ink came out. Thanks for this video

How do i fit the straws to go inside. Its to narrow for the straws to go inside. Or do the straws go outside?

I just did it with straws and it worked perfect

Nice to know, im not the only one that made this mistake 😅

Don't forget to purge the lines and cartridges.

What direction did you turn it over?

I totally made this mistake. I removed the ink and then added the sublimation. However, my sublimation won't transfer? I am using sublimation mugs and paper. I have an Epson ET2800. Did you come across any issues with sublimation?

lol i literally ordered this printer in a bundle with the sub ink and today i set it up not even paying attention i put the cyan in yellow tank !! So now i have to drain the yellow out i am gonna try ur method I just have one question when u turned upside down and others were closed did u have any issues with them popping open while draining one tank at a time ???

Can anyone tell me what those black tubes are please?

Using the same bottle to recapture the ink was clean and efficient—it worked great! When I inverted the Epson EcoTank to remove the wrong ink, it flowed smoothly with no mess at all.

Excellent 😊

What is did was got a cannula and stuck the bottom part that attaches to oxygen to the ink tank nozzle and it gives a air tight seal and cut the tubing about a foot or 2 and put it into the original ink bottles and tipped the machine upside down drained each one individually and cleaned the tube after each one with water and I had it don't in 10 minutes
