Questions about a printer that has already had "standard ink used in it"

[chris_hosk]

Hi, after speaking to someone at work today she said she has a epson printer (not sure what 1) and she accentually used non sublimation ink but only to print a few pages she asked if i knew whether she can still use this (she prints T's & stuff) i said i didnt know but found a new forum that might as she is inpatient i agreed to ask on her behalf while we are still at worl (until 5pm) but i suggested she signs up as iv learnt loads already

so guys & dolls whats the verdict?

She'll have to flush out the non sub ink, until the sub ink comes through. Then it should be fine.

Cool, so shall i tell her to just print a few pics out on it then job done ?

[chris_hosk]

p.s she has some "blank carts" that come with the printer should she print with them in to drain away any ink

[gorgall2]

Is she using refillable cartridges or a cis system?

[chris_hosk]

she will be using refills (i had to explain the CIS system so i guessed she wasnt using it lol)

Fill them with sub ink and print blocks of CMYK until the sub ink starts to come through.
