Thank you for speaking both clearly (not mumbling) and loud enough that even hearing impaired people are able to hear you.
Just watched your video for context and was a bit surprised at how big a difference a little bit of tuning your printer makes such a big difference in printer performance. Thanks for your video, I'm sure I'll watch it again when I'm ready to make the switch
Thank you, thank you. Took me awhile, but I did it with your expert directions!! Can't thank you enough. You just saved me a ton of money😃
Awesome video. Thanks for covering all the details, especially the "setting the printer to firmware update" and "head cleaning/purge print" part. Vital steps that were missing on other people's videos. I was two seconds from giving up. Thank you for sharing. Already "liked", and now I am subscribing and referring... 🙂
You’re a life saver! Everything worked exactly like you said. Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for this i had problems filling the cartridges, I didnt know you took the vent hole plug out when filling them as had no instructions. Great video thankyou :)
Wow, I wish I had the confidence to do this maybe after watching your video 10 more times I could 😊
worked like a charm
Thank you! I want to start my own small business and start doing sublimation projects but was having trouble finding refillable cartridges that fit my workforce inkjet printer!
I also subscribed. Great job!🖖
Excellent video and thank you for the info! Just curious about the steps/process for Macs, since you mentioned there'd be an issue. Would you please elaborate? Thanks!
Great video, how do you know when to refill ink cartridge and how do you refill them.
Thanks for this video. Does this also work with an epson xp 5100?
]
You must have done this a million times Bro, because I made the biggest mess know to man. One time it was my fault because I forgot to put the plug back in when I was venting it. There was no real way to know how much to fill it before the vent process so I'm not sure I did that right because ink got pull back into the syringe every time, but yours was just air. Hmmmm, I'll guess we'll see when it's time to print...
Thanks
I hate finding these videos "after the fact" I had to figure out on my own to pull the opaque plug to fill instead of the colored plug. AND I did not know about those plastic tabs that needed removed prior to inserting into the printer. Needless to say, "some things" got broke. Now I need to get past the error message of "ink cartridge is not installed correctly." As for the firmware update, i believe i did all that when i initially set up my printer. Im 3 seconds and one beer away from tossing this thing out, and i dont drink.
Find your activation key and/or recovery code from your chipless Firmware purchase.
Then start your printer in update mode like the video shows to install the firmware. If you try to update the firmware in normal mode, you may encounter issues installing due to the ink cartridge error.
After installing the chipless Firmware, your cartridge error will go away and your printer will always read "Full".
Maaaaan who you telling I had to look at the video and see he never put them back on I was going crazy wondering why it wasn’t working thinking I did something wrong now I need to know what’s the process for filling them back up once the ink runs low
Me too, me too ;-)
awesome !
perfect!
Does the maintenance tank have a chip. Do you need to reset it when its full
Will I have to do this every time I refill my ink cartridges?
Thank you for this awesome video!! Do you have to have that exact sublimation ink or can you get any kind?
I'd love it if you would try our ink, but you can use any sublimation or refill ink.
@@McZellI already have sublimation ink... to follow your steps to install the firmware do I need to buy from your shop for the activation key 🫠
The firmware update won't complete the installation.
Can you do a video of how to clean this type of printer (after it's turned into a sublimation printer) mine is not working properly anymore I've not used it in quite sometimes and I think it's stopped up! Thanks
Hello do you still need to ICC firmware after you've done downloaded all you've mentioned and bought the activation? Thanks
can u show something that u have sublimated? i want to ddo this w/my printer but would like to c it when it's done b4 i chance it, do u have to do this every time you refill the ink>
Could I do this same process with a WF 3820?
It will not let me activate on line it says that please wait for update to finish? I"m confused Really need help please
Do you know if the workforce pro wf4833 have chipless firmware available?
Great vid!! Can I convert a used xp4105 into sublimation and if so, how?? Just do the chip less firmware and insert sublimation cartridges??
Yes. Install chipless and place your sub cartridges in.
I am having trouble refilling only the black ink cartridge. The ink just keeps bubbling out when i try to refill it. it's not full the cartridge is empty.
downloaded the firmware the ink is not coming out. I did all your steps after I had tried it with the plug and chip holder in. now I see streaks but not the full image and/or text. Please advise.
if i use the printer before, an all the cartridges are out, can i convert to a chipless printer?
Activation successfull, all colors show full. I only put the black tank in, the rest are chipped. I cannot get black to print, just slight shadows.
What about a epson Wf3620 4 in 1 printer
Quick question, because I have the same printer. Why did you choose these particular printer settings and have you found any that work better?
Can you do a quick breakdown on that please?
When I select activate online it asks for my serial number but the the serial number won’t work
What if I dont have a personal windows computer but have a work computer. I have a Microsoft surface would their be any issues there?
I'm looking to get into sublimation. Can you tell me what is a chip less firmware and why that is needed? We have macs but I'm sure we can borrow a windows laptop if necessary
It lets the printer think that there is always ink cartridges in the printer and they are always full.
This will let you use the chipless refill cartridges and use any ink.
Hello how do I create the 4 color purge file in photoshop?
Do I have to install chipless firmware? I actually don't know what that is or what its' for? Can you explain to me, please. I am sooooo new to all this. I am buying this exact printer used. And will be converting it to sublimation. I have already seen videos on how to clean the ink jets and will be buying empty cartridges/ink.
I need help😭 I have an WF 2830 trying to set up chipless, ive gotten thru all the step on this video and on the sublimation video but my printer will only say cartridges not recognized. I cant bypass it andidk what to do any suggestions??! Pleasee.
Can you use a Mac with Windows software being run on a virtual machine or does it have to be an actual Windows machine? Just wondering bc I haven’t used Windows in years and would have to get ahold of one of my kids old computers and see if they still work…
I believe you can use a virtual machine in mac environment . I havent used a Mac in years.
Is the 35$ a one time fee for the activation code? I'm new to this and I enjoyed your video but I have a million questions Sir. Under the WIC tab, I see multiple activation code prices, do I need to buy this? Is there sub ink I can purchase to delivered to my home? My apologize for the questions. a friend stated I shouldn't need to buy anything to start sublimating. I just want to do things correct. Thanks for your help in advance.
Hi. would love to speak to you if you have a couple of minutes. been trying to do this for a couple of months. i cant get passed the download of the firmware. it wont download for me, i have tried now on 3 different computers. thank you!
I dont know what cartridge to buy the one in the link isnt available anymore
on the fifth step of the firmware, urs shows a check mark under model..my model shows up, but no check mark..so now i cant go to next step..any ideas?
What in the world am i doing wrong i can not activate
Help!! Was going to until activating. I can get that program to run. What should I do? I have the code
Can i use.epson .. 4100 for stimulation?
Popup box will not display once Activate Online is selected thus preventing us to input key. Any Suggestions or fixes??
Hi quick question I purchased the Epson xp 4205 does this one work for conversion as well ? And approximately how much is the firm ware ?
I’m wondering the same thing 😊
Me, too. Did anyone figure it out?
When I select activate online it asks for my serial number but the the serial number won’t work. Does it work with laptop?
What will I need for a Epson xp-5100 so I can do sublimation. I would like to use CISS.
I don't believe there is a firmware for the xp5100.
Where can one get that purge file?
Can you please answer Denise Lewis ' question? Im having same issue activation will not give pop up window to enter key code
It has never NOT came up for me. Try right clicking it and use "Run as Administrator" also make sure you have all Antivirus shut down as it will mess with the Activation program. if any of that wont work, I would try contacting inkchip.net support.
Hi i woulder if u can help me please 🙏 ive a xp -2200 i would like to change over
Ive filled the empty ink cartridge
Im connected to Internet
But saying no ink
Please can you help me Thank you 😊
So you can’t use a Mac?
HELP!!!!! I accidentally downloaded the activation file first. So I uninstalled everything for the printer. Then I started over. I clicked the firmware file, and have have been sitting here for over 30 minutes. The ON light is still flashing but I haver no choice but to turn off the printer, as it is 1:23am. Please help.
where can i get the extact refillable ink cartridage shown in this video
Look on Amazon I think they’re whole kit is $11.99 syringe included
Which printer do you suggest for beginner in sublimation printing? Two new Epson 4105s, 2 activation chips and no luck.
Activation chips? What issues are you having. The xp4105 is good for beginners.
@@McZell I bought a new 4105 from walmart. I followed your instructions to the letter, along with inkchip. The firmware loaded but the activation key came up in another language I could not read, I sent pics to inkchip. They kept insisting that I did not install the firmware properly. I purchased another activation key. Didn't work. It was still in another language, so I could not do anything with it. It's okay. You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die. I ate close to 300.00 worth. I'm going to a real sublimation printer. No more conversions for me.
@@mrcarey9231any answers?? I’m having same issues with activation
When I get to the activation part mine is saying it’s not responding or it can’t read it what should I do ?
did you ever get help? I need help now haha
Can this be done on a 4105 that’s been used already if so should I clean the print heads, etc to get the sublimation prints right
Yes it can. After installing the cartridges with sublimation ink, print like 3 purge files...you'll be able to tell on the print where the ink has switched over. You can find purge files all over the net.
@@McZell thank you I hope it works
@@McZell alright I have an update. I followed your suggestion of printing a purge file, however it didn’t work too well. I had to go to the printer properties from the system tray, maintenance tab then do a print head cleaning. Did a print head nozzle check to verify if I needed to repeat then did a purge page and it worked like a charm!
what if I have a older MacBook Air 2015 which zipunlocker can I use ?
please and thank you
Not to my knowledge. I think you're going to need a windows PC.
Can you please help me? Once I got to the activation part it won't let me click okay, like it says error? What do I do, I've already went through this whole process and I'm stuck.
It has never NOT came up for me. Try right clicking it and use "Run as Administrator" also make sure you have all Antivirus shut down as it will mess with the Activation program. if any of that wont work, I would try contacting inkchip.net support.
Hi!
Can the XP410 be converted too?
I don't think that it can.
You can use any printer that is on this list:
inkchip.net/soft/
Everything works until I get to the part where i have to go to the link provided and try to download if anyone could help it will not download it and it doesnt do anything from there.
I only have a macpro is this still possible & is there a way I could use & clean out cartridge that comes with printer? Newbe
In order to install the chipless firmware you'll need a PC running windows. Once it's installed you can connect it to your MacPro and it will still be chipless.
How can I fix this. My screen on select the printer doesn't say USB and then I got a pop-up that says the printer is not connected or is not the target printer?? I'm lost as to how to fix this
czcams.com/video/jvhNebNkXdc/video.html
Would setting up a XP8600 with sublimation setup be the same as this?
Yes
@@McZell Thank you
Wondering if you could assist me on why the activation won’t work? I’ve followed every other detail, purchased my code but as I’m trying to activate it will pop up then close out?
Any updates I am having same issues
Everything is set up by these directions (btw it’s awesome) overever it’s printing blank 😢. Any suggestions?
Make sure that the vent plugs are removed from the cartridges. If not it will print blank. Also make sure that the cartridges are primed. There should be a little ink inside the center circular chamber of the cartridges.
@@McZell I did I figured it out. I cleaned the nozzles several things. That was the issue.
Can this kind of printer be converted into printing “dtf” as well with some kind of firmware?
No
Can I use the printer to do dtg without chip less firm wear
@@vividarts9787 no.
Do you know if there is a chipless firmware for the 7820
There is not unfortunately. When the printers were released, they (chipless firmware makers) thought they would have it done within a year. But, apparently the newer printers firmware is harder to assemble.
Also if you update the firmware on the 7820,7840 the 3rd party chips (the ones the sell on Etsy, etc) won't work.
At this point I would try to find an alternative for a sublimation printer if you were considering a 7820/7840. I would only use those as a temporary solution.
The XP15000 was $349 forever, until more people started using it for sublimation and DTF. Now it's creeping towards the $450 range. I would look into that as well.
Good luck!
@@McZell thank you so much 😊
So if my Epson isn't recognizing chips, would this fix it?
Yes. It should be able to get around it after activation of the chipless Firmware
i just finished doing all the installations. but every time i print nothing shows up on the paper after i did three cleanings. any idea what the problem could be?
Make sure to prime the cartridges and remove the vent plugs.
@@McZell i just tried both and didn’t receive any results.
@@brook9358 did you receive the issue?
Do you lose the wireless functionality of the printer once it’s chipless?
I have not lost wireless. I use this printer daily still.
Thank you. My s/o wants to still use it for school and I was worried I would lose most of the functionality.
At 9:41 what number did you put by Yellow?
-15
Once I setup the chipless firmware, can I unplug and plug this back in ?
yes.
Got it downloaded but the black ink (when it prints) has a line through it. How come?
Make sure that the cartridge is primed (ink in the circle). And dona nozzle check to make sure you aren't missing any lines.
You skipping parts at what point do you put the cartridges in?
I didn’t skip anything. Rewatch at 6:05
im waiting for the firmware for xp 5100 :(
Can be done using Epson xp 4205?
No it can not
@@McZell thanks for your reply I returned it and brought the 4100 which can be converted.
I filled my ink cartridge and tried running a test sheet nothing it coming out. Can you help
Make sure that the cartridges are primed and that the vent plugs are removed.
Hey man, I’ve gotten all the way to the activation point and my activation screen doesn’t look like yours, and it freezes. I try to apply the code I bought, and it says it doesn’t recognize the code. Can you help?
I can't help with any code issues. Hit up ink chip . Net support email and they can assist.
@@McZell I have joined the forums, I have emailed them, I have googled, I have CZcamsd, I have asked on here. I’m literally stuck at the end of the process. It’s driving me crazy!
My printer didn’t start up with setup mode, just started up as regular. Did I miss something?
This was a new printer. If yours has already been used or if it's setting up as normal. Just install chipless and install sublimation ink cartridges.
Will this work on a xp 7100?
No. The xp7100 doesn't have chipless firmware available.
@@McZell thanks for the reply! 🙏
What do I do if my printer prints blank pages? I'm so fustrated
Make sure that the cartridges are primed, and that the vent plugs are removed.
My activation software is not working. I install it and run it. When I click activate online it freezes and stops responding. Please Help
I've never had this issue when installing. Someone else did and they contacted inkchip.net support team and they were able to get them up and running.
@@McZell OK. I did that. I'm nervous they won't reply this weekend :/
@@wookiefpv6614 did they get back to you.?
Do i need the firmware?
To print with refill cartridges yes. You can take chips from original oem cartridges and swap them out each time, but the cost of a set of Epson cartridges is higher than the chipless Firmware.
do you have the code for epxon xp 4205?
Xp4205 does not support chipless firmware
There's firmware for the XP4205 now, i just switched my printer over @@McZell
ugh I followed every step very carefully and am stuck at the activation part. It wont let me even enter the key it says please wait or the update then a box in another language pops up and kicks me out. I KNOW I installed the firmware correctly. Everything went exactly like the video, not one hiccup. So now what do I do? I am stuck here with the printer lid open, the light flashing at me ...ugh
You may have to hit up inkchip.net. the activation connects to a server. Did you disable any antivirus or firewalls that may be running?
@@McZell yes I disabled everything
@@nicolezotta7571 did you get this issue resolved?
After doing this, I tried to print something in my cricut design space to sublimate, and it isn't printing the colors right. When I try to print orange it turns a hot pink color...even my gray has a slight pink tint to it. Any suggestions? Also I have refillable cartridges with chips still on them. Would that possibly be the problem & do I need to remove them with this software? @dynamitegorilla
what about xp 4205
There is no chipless for that model.
The activation key came up in another language - not English.. One step closer.... help, please.
Hit up inkchip.net. they should be able to help.
@@McZell They were not able to help. All of their emails told me that I didn't install firmware properly. So I bought a new printer, same brand, and I bought a new chip. Just please recommend a printer. Thanks so much.
Ok I got 4205 wat column do I press
There's no chipless firmware for the xp4205
Ok so what I did was replace the original chips onto the the clips cartridges and it work but it’s comin bck saying y and m is the only thing that’s low
For some reason mines doesn’t want to work
Please be more descriptive.
Dam I have mac.. !
hello dynamite gorilla, I have the same printer but the key activation file on inkchipnet is different than the one on this video, after I extract it it gives me an activation.exe file and when I run it the program is slightly different. When I try to activate the key is says "activation code can not be recognized"
Did I do something wrong or is it an inkchipnet problem?
Why am i unable to activate it???!!!! I downloaded and did the firmware, bought the activation code but now the activation pop up isnt working to allow me to Activate Online!!!!!!!! can you help @dynamitegorilla ?
Did you disable your firewall? The software connects to the internet to activate. It might be showing up as a false positive for dangerous software.
Furthermore, you can contact inkchip support under the contact link on their website. It has always come up for me after disabling my antivirus and firewall. Also try right clicking and running as administrator.
@@McZell contacted inkchip support. They assisted with my firmware upload. Thanks! now i am chipless :)
@@blissful.creationz hey what error are you having? I'm having a reading failed error and need help but I don't think support will be able to get back to me until Monday
