Love Hiipo brand sublimation ink!
Color: B/B/B/B
I have used Hiipo ink for a while now but I ran out and ordered this one. It’s exactly as advertised with the easy fill top. Highly recommend! All of my prints turn out perfectly. I use this with my Epson ET 15000.

Not true EcoTank-style compatibility with ET-15000 refill ports
Color: B/B/B/B, Color: B/B/B/B
I previously purchased the full Hiipoo sublimation ink set for my Epson ET-15000 and had a great experience. Those bottles included the correct EcoTank-style keyed refill tips that insert directly into the printer’s tank ports and allow clean, gravity-fed filling.
Because the black tank gets used faster, I later ordered the black refill bottle separately. Unfortunately, this bottle does not include the keyed EcoTank nozzle. Instead, it comes with a pointed tip and syringes for manual transfer.
The syringes also do not fit the ET-15000 refill opening, which is designed for the keyed gravity-fill system. As a result, I had to attempt a manual pour and ended up with ink spilling around the tank area.
The ink itself has worked well for me in the past and I like the Hiipoo brand overall, but this refill bottle is not directly compatible with the ET-15000 the same way the original set was. Buyers expecting the same refill experience should be aware of this difference.

Great product, quality colors and vibrant prints
Color: 1BK/1C/1Y/1M
Best Sublimation Ink I have found so far. Great size bottles for the price you pay. Lasts a long time and the colors print great and when you press the print the colors come out BEAUTIFUL and VIBRANT! Dries quickly after printing so no worries on smudging but even after sitting over a month on the paper still presses like you printed it that day!
