Thank you Canon for offering end-users a solution to prevents costly downtime! For those that remove tanks each time they refill they will repeat the above described reset one time per refill session.

Windows users will easily reset the tank chips directly from their computer using the Canon utility, or follow the same process shown below for Apple users.Īpple users will easily reset the tank chips directly on the printer using the buttons on the front of the printer.įor those that refill tanks remaining in the printer this is a “one-time” reset process. The printer acts as a cartridge chip resetter allowing an exhausted chip to continue running without the need for an external chip resetter. Fast and easy to do, generally requires pressing the function button once – holding for 8 seconds until the Power button white light flashes once. Tanks removed for filling will require “printer resetting” which involves pressing the function button. Tanks filled while in the printer will continuously operate after the first “printer reset”*. Note: tanks can be filled while in or out of the printer. Now you will simply run the printer until the first sign of a light print, then add more ink to the tanks. This is the goal, they are NOT needed when using a bulk refill system. Pro 100 and transfer paper is a great starting point.After the cartridge chips run down initially you will reset the Canon to continue running with THE SAME CHIPS the chips will no longer report ink levels or display any red lights on the print head. Some people put sublimation ink into Epson Ecotank printers, it seems to work OK. There is an Epson F570, which costs $3.5K, and prints of 17 or 24" rolls, but that's getting beyond your current price range. The Epson F170 was just released in January, and there is a waiting list to get them, but the ink is 95% cheaper per milliliter than Sawgrass, so it is worth the wait. There are two manufacturers of entry level sublimation printers- Epson and Sawgrass. I don't do much apparel, but I do a lot of sublimation onto hard substrates- aluminum photo prints and also drinkware. There are comfortable polyesters out now, people seem to like the Gildan ones. If you sublimate onto a cotton/ polyester mix, the dye washes out of the cotton fibers. Sublimation makes no change to the surface texture, the color is vivid and permanent, but it only dyes polyester. You generally want to tear or cut the paper into a curved shape, or there will be a 8.5x14" rectangle on the fabric. I specifically use it with a Pro 100.Īny transfer paper leaves a bit of coating on the fabric surface. The chromablast transfer paper accepts any ink. Sawgrass sells a special $350 ink set that they want you to put in their $500 SG500 printer to use with that paper, but that's horseshit. I recommend Sawgrass Chromablast transfer paper. Yep, you can use transfer paper, a Pro 100, and a sublimation press.
