If you have previously had other sublimation inks installed in your Epson 3000 we recommend you flush your system before using our inks. To flush your machine with cleaning solution we will loan you a set of cartridges with the cleaning solution in them you simply install them as if you are loading up a set of ink cartridges. We ask you to do this on the Epson 3000 because the printer is not like the 900 or the 850s which only have inks in the print heads this printer has pipes from the cartridges to the print head and we want to ensure that all previous ink is removed so you can enjoy the qualities of our JetBlaster system.
