Re: New Printer Setup for Sublimation
Posted: 19 Aug 2023, 10:49
Hi, wondering if anyone has experienced similar.
for a number of years I’ve used an Epson workforce printer for sublimation printing without any issues but sadly that printer appears to have developed a fault beyond repair. I’ve now purchased a new Epson XP-3155 printer (discontinued model but new) which I need to setup as a sublimation printer. I have new empty ink cartridges at the ready for this purpose.
However, the setup process asks for the manufactUser setup ink cartridges to be installed initially. Has anyone else setup a similar new printer for sublimation and would anyone know whether you can setup using the empty compatible ink cartridges (filled with sublimation ink) instead of the start-up cartridges?
if this isn’t possible and I have to use the supplied start up cartridges to install the printer then where would this leave me with future sublimation printing ? Would I need to carry out any ink cleaning process to convert or would I be able to just install my sublimation ink cartridges and carry on printing ?
any help or guidance anyone could offer would be appreciated.
thank you
David
