I replaced an Epson printer that used 502 bottles with one that uses 552 bottles of ink. I would like to use the ink I already purchased (the 502 bottles) and eventually refill the 552 bottles myself. (Use Epson ink purchased in bulk.) Is there a way to do this? I tried twisting the top of the 552 bottles - to no avail. Any ideas are so appreciated. TY.

Use a syringe to suck out the ink from the bottle and inject it directly into your printer in the corresponding colour.

Great idea. Then tape over the puncture. Thank you.

I reckon you may have to be a little bit more specific..
Inject the ink in the corresponding ink tank of your ecotank printer, so do not inject magenta in the yellow tank

Simple advice. Sell 502 and buy 552. And the issue is resolved without any problems (punctures, tapes, holes, profiles, etc.)

I have not seen any bottle for the Ecotank printers - 102, 106, 114, 664 and more - on which you could not unscrew the top of the bottle - it's pretty tight and you might have to use a tool. Give it another try.
