Hi Justin. We did exactly this recently followed instructions found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrsQ9DWEwmg

If you are after some empty cartridges then we bought some especially to do this and can sort you out at a knock down price!

5 or 6 head flushes is recommended for those who put oem in ink before sublimation ink, so if changing inks possibly that.

else there is a guide online to reset the printer in such a way that turn on resets the cartridge initialisation process and does the fill the lines process

Cheers for that. Assuming carts are same for 7100 as 3110? Same ref. number for standard carts.

PM me a price over Mr. UK Mugs. I was just about to buy some empty carts but maybe I need a spares set to do this?

3110 and 7100 are the same std carts, so 3110 will work in 7100, but 7100 high cap won't work in 3110.
