Sublimation Ink Bottles for Epson EcoTank – 4-Pack (140ml Black + 70ml C/M/Y) for 502/512/522 Printers – Compatible

Sublimation ink 4-pack for Epson EcoTank at a glance: four bottles of compatible, newly manufactured dye-sublimation ink (140 ml black plus 70 ml each of cyan, magenta and yellow) for Epson EcoTank printers that take 502 or 522 bottles. Sublimation ink is for heat-transfer printing: you print mirrored onto sublimation paper, then a heat press transfers the image into polyester fabric or polymer-coated blanks like mugs, tumblers and mousepads. It is not for everyday documents, and once a printer is filled with it, that printer should be used for sublimation only. Orders by 4 PM ET (Mon–Fri) ship the same business day from California.

Before You Fill: Dedicate the Printer

Once sublimation ink goes into the tanks, treat that printer as a sublimation printer from then on. Sublimation ink won't give you normal-looking documents on plain paper, and switching back to regular ink means a lot of wasted ink and cleanings. Best practice is a new, never-filled printer. Never mix sublimation and regular ink in the same tank.

Will Not Fit

• Epson ET-16500: it uses Epson 774/664 bottles, not 502/522, so it is not on our list for this set.
• 512-bottle printers (Expression Premium ET-7700, ET-7750): these have a fifth photo-black tank. This set has no photo black, so contact us before using it in one of these.
• Want regular ink instead? For a printer you use for documents and photos, use regular Epson 502 or Epson 522 bottles. For genuine Epson 512 bottles, see Epson 512 on Amazon.
• Cotton and uncoated items: sublimation bonds only to polyester and polymer coatings. Pure cotton, dark fabrics and uncoated ceramic or metal won't take it.

Filling, First Use & Pressing

Filling: open the tank cover and the cap for one color, unscrew the bottle cap, remove the seal and fit the nozzle into the matching tank port. It fills hands-free and stops at the full line. Repeat for each color and close the caps.

First use: if the printer has ever had regular ink, run power cleanings until the lines are flushed, then print a nozzle check before your first transfer.

Pressing: print mirrored on sublimation paper. Colors look dull on paper and turn vivid after pressing. Typical settings are around 385–400°F for 45–60 seconds, but always follow your blank maker's settings.

Printer not seeing the ink? See fixing ink that isn't recognized or contact us.

Quality: Compatible, Newly Manufactured

This is compatible ink: newly manufactured sublimation ink in bottles made to fit EcoTank fill ports. It is not an Epson product and not refilled Epson bottles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put sublimation ink in a printer that already has Epson ink?

You can, but flush the lines first with several power cleanings, and from then on use that printer only for sublimation. A new, never-filled printer is the cleanest start. Never mix the two inks in a tank.

Can I still print regular documents with it?

Not well. Sublimation ink is made to transfer under heat, not to sit on plain paper, so documents come out dull. Keep a separate printer for everyday printing.

What can I sublimate on?

White or light-colored polyester and high-polyester fabrics, and polymer-coated blanks such as mugs, tumblers, mousepads, phone cases, metal and ceramic tiles made for sublimation. Not cotton or uncoated items.

Does it fit the Epson ET-16500?

No. The ET-16500 uses Epson 774/664 bottles, not 502/522.

Will this void my printer warranty?

Using third-party ink doesn't by itself void a U.S. warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, but Epson won't cover damage caused by non-Epson ink, and converting to sublimation is at your own risk.

How long can I store it?

Keep bottles sealed and upright at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, and use within about 12 months of opening. Shake gently before filling.
