Hi all,

New to the forums and have been reading away. I just purchased a Epson t1100 and a CIS kit for it.

The problem is the CIS kit is full of 'standard' ink and i wish to put in my sublimation ink. After i work out how to remove all ink from the CIS how do i then clean it so no traces of standard ink are left before filling with the sublimation?

I assume if ink is left and during printing that ink is used it will not transfer on the heat press or will quickly wash out if it does, leaving the picture with missing areas.

Any help would be great

Hi,

You should return that and get an empty CIS or just use refillable cartridges.

You will probably not be able to clean the CIS well enough.

I think you are asking for headaches in trying to purge the lines totally clean...just start over

Get new CIS or refillable carts.

Dam, Was under the impression when i bought it that they were empty.

Managed to buy just the cartridges and lines. Will transfer the chip to these and already have a sublimation refill tank.

Guess this is part of learning wasting money for no reason

we have been using refillable carts, cheaper and less hassle for us. good luck uncletee.
