    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.

    Late to the party, but thanks for this. Was looking for an Epson F170 sub printer (extremely hard to find in the wild) when I realized the ETs are the exact same thing. And these actually go on sale. Thanks again!

    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 :)

    I had to return my Epson 2720 printer I had just received, as I got an E 11 error when filling. It turns out the machine was faulty. I have a replacement on the way and cannot wait to get it set up. I am using StarCraft sublimation ink from 143vinyl, They come with the same nozzle as the Epson bottles and are very easy to use.

    HI, a question. Is the material of the inks different from each other. And the filling inks, or are they all the same material, regardless of the colors. In other words, I can fill in all types of printers. Or is there a difference in the density of the material. I hope to find the answer.
