Polycotton. (You can spray this liquid on cotton fabrics, let dry and sublimate. You guys will make beauties with this. Thank you very much for your videos, i really love it.

Kim and Garrett, Great ideas, I just reconverted my Epson 4800 printer. I had no problem doing it, and it worked great. My problem is that I bought two of the same model, using the same ink refills. So I labeled them #1, and #2. I labeled the ink for them. BUT, I grabbed the wrong ink which was the regular ink and installed it in my cyan of the sublimation. My question is how do I clean the cyan refiller so that I can reinstall the proper sublimation cyan ink in that one. OR am I out a printer? Please help me and give me some ideas. Thank you. Wendy

Much easier to get online inexpensive empty Epson printer bottles, pour all inks in individually and use to fill the printer rather than jury-rig other ink bottle tops and squeezing bottles with chances of messes. Plus, later on you can refill when low.
