Epson L805 Ink change?

[Idefine]

So I bought this printer. I guess I did not do enough research. I made a mistake by using standard ink instead of the intended sublimation ink. Is it possible to drain the eco tank etc? I'm trying to get this ball rolling. This feels like a big fail.:frown:

Thanks in advance!

There are youtube videos on how to remove ink tanks and ink lines.
It's not as bad as you think

I had an ET14000 and had the reverse problem when I wanted to sell it with standard inks in it. This is the advice I received from Alex at InkExperts:

To clean out my advice would be-


1) Drain as much ink from the ink tanks as possible
2) Clean and wash out the ink tanks using de-ionised water (fill tanks / seal / shake / then drain)
3) Fill with standard ink
4) Use the WIC service program to perform deep / powerful cleans - perform 3 max but leave 1 hour between each clean to help reduce the pressure built up.

I only did one deep clean left it for 24 hours and then printed around 25 full colour prints of an inkjet test chart (Google it, it's the one with horizontal bars of colours) It worked perfectly.
