 		 Filling Cartridges for the first time
First, prepare the refillable cartridges ( with the printer turned off )
- Be careful not to touch the contact chips !

 Y = Yellow

1. Remove the colored plug ( filling hole ) and the transparent plug ( air hole ) from the cartridge, see. picture.

2. Fill the syringe with a needle of approx. 10 ml of Sublisplash YELLOW ink (yellow).

3. Slowly fill the ink into the refill hole, do not insert the needle too deep into the cartridge.

4. Now try to spray the ink on the walls of the cartridge so that
the danger of creating an air pocket has been eliminated ( this is done only the first time when filling a new plastic cartridge ) - proceed as follows

* Remove the needle from the syringe and seal the air hole with a transparent stopper.

* Insert the syringe without the needle into the filler hole. The plunger of the syringe should be pushed down ( closed ).

* Pull out the plunger of the syringe to approximately 7 ml. You will feel some resistance. Allow the piston to slide back slowly.
Repeat this step 3-5 times. If ink collects in the syringe during this process, it can be put back into the appropriate ink bottle.

* Since the ink in the cartridge foams slightly during this process, the cartridge should be left upright for about 5 minutes.

* Put the needle back on the syringe and fill the cartridge completely

5 Plug the filling hole with a yellow plug

Repeat steps 1 - 5 for all colors / cartridges.
The cartridges are ready to use.

ATTENTION:

1 / REMOVE the air hole plugs before inserting the cartridges into the printer. Otherwise, a vacuum will occur and the ink will not flow.

2 / When inserting cartridges into the printer for the first time, it is absolutely necessary to insert the cartridges sequentially from the RIGHT in order
Y - M - C, which ends with a black BK cartridge.
Never touch the contact surfaces of the chips, as this could cause contact problems

Install the cartridges one at a time by pushing down and end by lowering the cartridge cover ( it must click into place )

AFTER ER FILLING THE CARTRIDGES WITH INK  - KEEP YOUR PRINTER ONLY IN HORIZONTAL POSITION

SUBLIMATION
PAPER
A3

 		 Paper installation


You can load A6-A3 paper in the printer ( described A3 / A4 )

 Paper A3

For the A3 size, you have a  ( for example ) bottom tray where you can load max 500 pcs of papers.
Install the sublimation paper with the print ( whiter ) side DOWN



 When you load paper in the bottomRear Tray, the printer automatically detects it and asks you for the paper size / type of paper loaded. See menu on the right:

.... if you have already made the settings ( as in our case) just confirm everything with the OK button.

However, if you are making the settings for the first time, scroll down to Change and press OK to open the size selection - select and confirm OK and menu moves automatically to the paper type selection. You confirm everything with OK

For sublimation printing we recommend paper:

 Subli papers A3 / A4
or TexPrint R A3 / A4
From the paper menu, select Prem. Semigloss
 		                                
                                              
SUBLIMATION
PAPER
A4














       
 

 

Paper A4

For A4 size, you have ( for example ) upper tray that can hold up to 500 papers ( adjust the plastic guides inside the tray for this size, the stack of paper must not extend over the plastic sides of the paper tray ).
Install the sublimation paper with the print side  ( whiter ) side DOWN

If you make a mistake and install the paper upside down - nothing happens - only after the proof is printed on the wrong side, the printed image is noticeably less contrasting.





As with A3, when the paper is loaded in the Front Tray ( Cassette 2 ), the printer automatically detects it and asks you for the paper size / type of paper you loaded.
See menu on the right, pls do everything in the same way as for A3 paper

  
                             

                                 
 
DRIVER
INSTALLATION


















   
   		 Driver installation

 There are 2 optional drivers. Standard driver from Epson for which  specific ICC profile for Sublisplash ink is prepared. Both are free

The driver is on the installation CD of the printer (WIN 7-10 / X64, X86)
and at the same time you can download it from the Epson website, at this moment, this driver can be downloaded  here :

The second alternative is the special Sublisplash Magic Driver, which adjusts / converts colors for optimum results by itself, but it's a paid alternative.

Drivers ( USB) are installed in two steps - the first step driver is installed to the computer ( without connected printer ) - the second step - connect printer to PC via USB

The printer can be connected via USB and LAN / WIFI
