DTF Printer Maintenance After Not Printing for 5 Days 

Thanks, Heather!

@@MakingwithMarilyn thank you for your videos may I ask do you do the full maintenance often I.e the clean under the printed head and pulling through the tubs and wast tank every 7 days ? I have the same model and I have watched the videos of care and I’m so worried ! I’m also away for a week

Thank you Unbiased!

A printer sitter:) Thank you so much!

Does it happen to be that there is white DTF powder is beyond the outside of the font? If you want to post a picture and ask the question in my Facebook group, you sure could.

Thank you, Jessie!

Thank you, Mary! It was so nice to meet you as well! I love that we could all get together and put faces to names.

My printer only prints up to 8.3 inches wide. The one issue I had with it was the blinking lights when it thinks the waste tank is full. The resetting software on my thumb drive didn’t work. I Skyped with their tech and he fixed it in a few minutes. I hope they figure yours out.

I haven’t had to do it yet, but there is a way to prep them for when you are on vacation. I will have to do that late this summer. For our weekend trips, I do a couple of printhead cleanings when I get home.

@MakingwithMarilyn I'm looking into the Procolor because of the price point and also looking into brands distributors in the US because of the tech support 🤔. Thanks so much for the advice.

@@TheCraftyPuertoRican I can tell you about my tech support experience with ProColored sometime. It’s odd hours due to the time difference but the support was very good. For me, it was evening time. Let me know if you want to chat about it.

@MakingwithMarilyn thanks so much. It will help me a lot since I am not tech savvy. Thanks!

Sounds like either your white inks are clogged, which can happen very easily with DTF printers, or you do not have your settings set to print the white layer(s). Did it ever print the white?

It is a really nice beginner DTF printer. If I had the ability to go up in price, I would get the A3 since it will print up to about 13" wide instead of just over 8" wide. The A4 really limits the size of what you can do, but I work around that issue. I can put several sheets in the back but I load them just when I am ready to use it so that they don't get dusty. If I am printing 5 sheets at a time, then I would go ahead and load 5 sheets. Thanks for watching!

It may be a modified L805, but I'm not sure and I'm away from the house. It is the Procolored A4 size printer. The least expensive one they sell. If you want to check it out on their website, it will probably say.

I use the A4 Procolored DTF Printer. I love it, but it is a smaller printer and does not print wide format prints. I haven't used any other printer to be able to recommend them. I do love my printer and being smaller, it is more affordable, but it would be nice to have an A3 printer to be able to do larger prints. Thanks so much for watching!

@@MakingwithMarilyn hey there..thank you so much for your response… great I’m about to look into that printer… it definitely has quality prints, but I may need to go a little bit bigger for some of my designs.. I’m so glad it’s been working out good for you!!

@@VIPCustomPrints you do have to keep up with the maintenance to keep it running well. But that is typical with DTF.

You're welcome. Yes, it is all so scary and overwhelming for awhile.

I haven't yet, but need to start doing the weekly maintenance schedule.

Your white ink in the printhead or tubes may have dried up. When was the last time you printed from it?

@@MakingwithMarilynI printed yesterday it was fine. I checked the white tank and its fine. I ran a nozzle check

@@ritaurbina8281 what brand of printer is it?

@@MakingwithMarilynProcolored L1800

I have a ProColored printer. I have the small one (A4 size), but they have one that prints larger sized transfers. I have a link in the video description if you want to check them out. Thanks so much for watching!

Hey Uni! Thanks for watching.
