Buying the printer new is the best time to start using it with pigment only or sublimation inks as the system is sold as a dry system. Meaning that no ink has been loaded in the tanks and the print heads have not been charged with dye ink. If you've installed the dye/pigment inks from Epson Claria, their standard ink, you'll have to drain all tanks and force clean the charged heads, this is a bit of work to do. My brand new was filled for the first time with pigment ink compatible for the ET-8550 and I didn't have the issues of pigment ink mixed with dye ink, it works excellently with the pigment ink.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello. The ET-8550 is compatible with T552 Epson Inks only. Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Photo Black, and Gray are Dye-based and Black is Pigment-Based. We recommend using the correct Ink with the printer to avoid any print quality issues. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
