There are two holes in this refillable cartridge. One is an air hole in the back. You unplug this hole and never plug it back. Just leave it open. Then there's a refill hole in the middle. Conceal the bio clear plug. Use something to poke it in and remove it. The two holes are connected, and if you find one hole is tough to get ink in, you're filling the wrong hole, you're filing the air hole. Another one is straightforward to get ink in, and you won't damage the printer if you use the wrong hole. It just takes a lot of a long time to fill the air hole.

We're going to borrow the plug from the air hole to seal this. The refill hole is sealed, and the air hole is open. The only time you want to seal the air hole is probably you take a cartridge somewhere, and you don't want to spill. Other than that, keep it open. Here's my secret hatch, and it's all an optional step. If you happen to have a priming tip, use the priming tip to draw a little bit of air from the bottom, and here you can see the ink. It's highly optional. Just for me, I like to do that to reduce the chance of getting clogging. If you don't have a tip, you can get one very cheaply from our website.

It's under accessories and syringe and needles, so this four-piece plastic refill needle tip for quaking ink transfer and the priming CS.

Oh, by the way, this is sublimation ink. That's why it looks so weird—the black look like brown and sublimation ink. You have to do a heat transfer to show the actual color.

Secret ingredient.

Here's one error that we got lots of calls of once you install a new set of cartridges, and it says the following cartridge cannot be detected. The reason is you probably opened up the lid if it's that the printer knows. It's pretty easy to correct. Let's click proceed and open up the printer.

You can see once you unclick the cartridge, the one on the corresponding LCD panel has grayed out. Once you press it down and it lights up again. I'll go on and click the magenta, just for sure. Then we'll continue. Then we'll get this heavy screen. You have not installed a genuine Epson cartridge. Of course, this is not Epson cartridge proceed and warnings. Okay. Do you still want to use this ink? Yes.

After we have another check, it turns out that the yellow is clogged pretty heavily. The magenta is partial of a part of magenta is clogged. Of course, way to building cleaning functions then wait two hours. Then do two more, and after that, it's still clogged.

We also made some printouts, and you can see the clogged yellow. It's time to bring out the big guns. We use our Triple Action Cleaning Solutions which is an accessory and anti-clogging agent. The Triple Action Cleaning Solution works on dye pigment and sublimation ink. Because this ink is a sublimation ink, we'll have to use the triple cleaning solution, which is green in color. We turn on the printer as soon as the cartridge can move, we unplug the printer. We don't want the printer to lock the cartridge, so we cannot move it anymore. Then we'll take a piece of paper towel, put it underneath the ink pad, and then move the cartridge to the middle.

Then we use this tool from accessories and priming clip and syringe, and is this unclogging syringe for Epson. This is nothing special about this tool. It's just a syringe with a tube. A tube is tested to fit perfectly and tightly with the ink intake, so make sure that when you pick up the tool, make sure it matches the model. Otherwise, you may have a bigger tube, and so the ink will be everywhere when you use it. We'll fit one end to the ink intake and another side with the syringe. Always squeeze, remember do not squeeze too hard, and it is like half the force as you squeeze a lemon to make lemonade but twice as hard as an old lady squeeze peach.

That hard, that's where I put it. You're going to feel the print has opened up, and then you can inject consistently with the cleaning solution. You can see it is lovely. To break through that unclog it now, you can gradually push the cleaning solution inside.

The first cleaning is horrible, that's expected, and then do another cleaning. Perfect. Let me show you how to deal with the warning messages. You may get this warning message that the ink is low, and you try to reset the chips on the cartridge, and nothing happens. The reason is your cartridge is auto-reset, so there's no way you can reset it manually. What we're going to do is ignore those warnings, click okay, yes, and keep using the printer. Just print more pages and ignore all those messages. They are just trying to get you into the store and buy authentic Epson cartridges. Just say okay, and nothing will happen.

You keep printing until one day this happens, it says, cannot recognize the following ink cartridge. This is great because the magenta cartridge has been reset, and the printer cannot figure out you can get a new cartridge or that you didn't open the printer lid, so let's fool the printer. For that, click proceed, then open the printer door. Now what we are going to do is do exactly what the printer says. We took the magenta out. No matter how much ink is in the cartridge, we're going to fill it up to the top, and plug the refill hole, keep the air hole open then press it down until we see the magenta icon light up. Then we do a check, and they say it's good, close the scanner unit.

Nothing happens. Sometimes we should do whatever Epson asks us to do. Remember the happy screen you'll have not installed genuine Epson ink cartridges, magenta, perfect. What will we do? Proceed, proceed. Now, quiz. What are we going to do if it's this screen? Yes. If you see the ink level, it's complete. Okay, let us do a heat transfer to show you the actual color, so you don't have to look at this ugly black anymore. We will print up a page on the transfer paper.

What you do is you'll print down the transfer paper, and you can press. This is hot press. You can press this on any polyester directly, or you can press on treated cotton. You have cotton, you have a have type of treatment, and also you can press on coated ceramics and vinyl. You can do it directly, so you have to figure out how you will treat the material. We print on a piece of t-shirts made of vinyl, not vinyl, the polyester t-shirts. When the ink is heated, it has a face transfer, a transfer to another face, and now it shows true colors. Now it says black is black, yellow is yellow, and of course, you need to write everything in Reverse.
