Hi all
Looking for help with above printer.
Got it about a year ago & not don't anything with it
Till recently got new ink & got A sub paper.

It's printing but the ink isn't transferring on
To anything we try & sublimate.
Any help would be amazing
Many thanks

Are you using 'DYE SUBLIMATION' ink or regular 'DYE BASED' printer ink? Big difference.

Hi sorry for my ignorance. It's the ink that was supplied with the printer. What is the difference & which is the best ?
Thanks

Do you mean the original Epson start up cartridges that came with the printer? Those are just regular printing carts and will not sublimate.
You need specialist Dye Sublimation ink to sublimate. Sublimation ink releases the colours when heat pressed, regular ink doesn't.
I don't think our usual 'favorite' supplier stocks anything for the 7310 so I got mine from Ink Express.

You will need these and you will be up and running -

This is the ink we got & the refillable cartridges with the chip.

It doesn't say sublimation on the label so it is a reasonable assumption that it is ordinary dye based printer ink.

You need to syringe the ink ouit of the carts, buy some sublimation ink and start again. Maybe buy some nozzle rocket to clean the heads or just run a few dozen test sheets on cheap copier paper to use the last of the old ink.
Or just buy a second set of carts.
