Thank you for an extremely informative video. Not only did i learn about ink and converting, you also gave great options for those who don't have electric tools at home.
It's actually working😊, but the drawback is that even a slight movement of the film can ruin the print. I personally find it more challenging compared to just opening the printer and removing the roller. Although it can be a bit intimidating for someone like me who isn't tech-savvy, there's no need to worry about any springs popping out or anything tricky. Just make sure to remember where all the screws go. In my case, I left one roller on both sides and cut them so I could feed a 4-inch long film.
Thank you for an extremely informative video. Not only did i learn about ink and converting, you also gave great options for those who don't have electric tools at home. Once agin thank you.
Hi so if i understand you don't need to flush the head with cleaner if not use during week end ? it only need to shake and launch a head clean ? right ?
Thank you I appreciate your video where has been the best place you have found the purchase one of these printers I have converted 1 into a sublimation printer but not into ADT F printer
Sir, we do appreciate your effort on this video...I have watched a lot of negative feedback about this converted printer...do you advice me to use it or not
Thank you for making this video homie! I thought I was gonna have to learn the Indonesian language to be able to do this. Thank you. How do you recommend someone in the US buy the printer? Ebay?
@@rlapage87 Yes, www.dtf.technology contact details are at the bottom. Please email us for availability. We only have 1 L1800 left at the moment with more coming in 2 weeks time.
Thank you very much. This is a great video and ca not understand why anyone would give it a thumbs down. I do have a question. What did you use to connect the tubes together for the waste line?
That's very informative and helpful to me. Thanks for the information. But can you please make a video how and which software can set the white ink spraying and percentage of white ink etc.. Thanks in advance.
Would converting the epson et 8550 be about the same process? 1. Remove the rollers 2. Rip software to enable white ink 3. External waste for ink 4. Install DTF ink
Am printing on a l1300 Epson printer, but only CMYK n no white, I take the printed sheet for white backing through screen, turnd out to be cheaper by allmost 50% then the l1800 cmykww inks, yes little tedious job but u save a lot,
I really appreciate your honesty. It's a very trustworthy tutorial.How can I contact you to make a purchase transaction for this printer? . Please let me know ASAP.Thank you very much.
Glad I could help. You need rip software. It often comes with a physical USB key that is used to run it so you can't just download it in most cases. Not with acrorip anyway.
This is very helpful what application or software do you use for printing ? I'm using PartnerRIP Pro and I'm having trouble printing. What happens is that whenever I print my layout on film sheets the layout starts on the edge of the film not leaving any border even after adjusting any tips will help thanks!
Acrorip. If you are not going to use your printer for more than a week you will enter a dangerous territory where you may end up permanently clogging your printhead. Long term storage will require a complete flush and lubrication.
Thank you for your time to make this video for us. Can I ask, if the printer is for sublimation printing but never been used, is steel needed to be mechanical converted or just need to fill with dtf ink? Thanks
Sublimation printers are just regular printers that print with sublimation ink. Sublimation paper absorbs sublimation ink and there is no smudging. So you will still need to carry out the mechanical conversion.
Hi, just set one of these up and no matter what I do the printer wont print colors, even in the windows device and printers advanced preferences, test prints. How can I fix this ?? I have tried changing the ink channels and have definitely got it set to print color in the print settings in the RIP software but nothing but black and white comes out??
Hello, could you maybe help me ?? I have a problem with my printer, the two ON / OFF and Ink lights are on. I filled up the inks, put the cushion back on and vacuumed off the rest and also cleaned the print head. Unfortunately the printer doesn't work. If I press the button with ink for three seconds, the on / off button lights up and after two hours nothing happens. I would be happy if you could help me further. Best wishes
Very valuable information, thank you. Will this method allow for printing up to the edge of the film without any problems? And what would be the maximum size you can be able to print?
Hello friend, I am testing my DTF machine but it has been impossible for me to take the PET film, is any modification made so that it can take the sheet?
Is it very glossy on the other side? Some DTF film is just bad and causes constant problems. Try looking up printers not taking transparencies as those are a lot more popular and it's a common problem. Maybe you'll find a good solution. I know some people rub the rubber paper rollers with alcohol. Can't help you much here bud.
@@dtfprintingtechnology9457 Thank you for sharing this information, The potential savings from this video alone could be thousands. I have been researching this new tech for a couple weeks and now feel more comfortable moving forward
Salve con questo sistema dtf su che materiale può essere trasferito? solo poliestere o anche altri materiali? esempio: Tazze, Allumino, plastica, vetro, legno, cotone,...?
You'll be fine. The pushing is done by the wide rubber rollers before the print head. You don't really need those that go after the print head. So you can either keep a few on each side or remove them completely. Either way you'll be able to print A3 and A4.
Hello. I have a question, please. After 8-10 pages printing, dampers become empty (or have air). White first, and then black and the others. And I need to suck the inks manually. Is there a solution for that? Thank you.
There is some sort of ink flow issue. There is a twist thing on the ink tank. Try turning it. It stops the ink flow for when you need to move the printer. Might also be blockage.
You sir are a genius! So just do this, buy the ink, pet film, I already have photoshop, and I am good to go? Sorry I am new to all this. Oh! What's the main difference between this model and the L805?
Oh ok, so photoshop would not work? Also where did you buy your 1800? I am having some issues finding one. I see some on Ebay but I feel a lil leary ordering from the individuals on there.
@@jjsmsalas1 Photoshop won't work. It's not as simple as just printing a design out. You need to apply a white layer on top of your colour, choke the white etc. Rip software such as acrorip tricks your printer into doing something it does not do by default. This printer came from Epson. We are one of the biggest DTF suppliers in the UK.
So this ink wont be dry ones is out the printer ? For that you dont have to do any conversion right? I always thought the printers has some kind of systems to dry the ink when the paper exit.
Desktop inkjet printers don't dry the ink. It's the paper that absorbs the ink. This is why when you buy cheap thin printer paper and try and print out a photo, it often comes out wet. In our case we want it to come out wet.
