HOW TO SET UP ACRORIP 10 & 11 

Thanks for the support! I appreciate you, also.

Thank you for the kind words and support. I understand that this can be very confusing for a beginner, so I try to explain it in a way that everyone can understand. We all need a little help, sometimes.

For this, you would need to remove the white in your image, with your graphic editing software, such as Adobe Illustrator, or Photoshop. I demonstrate how to do this in my DTF Printing Mastery Class.

Are you referring to the setup on the actual printer, or through AcroRip? If you want to change the ink configuration on the printer itself, it will really depend on the specific model printer that you're using. If you're using the Stylus Pro or SureColor Pro series, you would have to remove the chips from the refillable ink cartridges and swap the carts to the appropriate channels, while ensuring that the chips stay in the original channel, as each chip is flashed to correspond to that specific channel. If you need further help with doing this, please schedule a consultation with me and I will assist you personally. Here is my services page: www.popdtf.com/book-online

You can do it in photoshop, but I would have to see the image, in order to guide you through it. I also have a prerecorded Master Class on how to do this in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Please consider joining the Class. Just go to popdtf.com and create an account. Next, you'll receive an email confirmation with a link to join the Mastery Class.

You likely have your resolution set too high, within the layout tab. I wouldn't set your resolution higher than 1440 x 1440

From what I remember, I ended up having to leave around two to three inches of empty space at the end of the sheet. This is because the guide rollers have to be able to push the sheet through. So, around two inches represents the length of the print track, from the guide rollers. You'll just have to run a test print and see where it bottoms out

If you're using the printing preferences option, you can leave color management at the default setting. The AcroRip will override the settings in the dialog box.

Your ink configuration may be missing, within AcroRip. I would double check the driver, in the printer tab, then, check the ink setup in the color tab.

Please help me with the software just share the link with me let me have it please

It seems as though your printhead may be out of alignment. How you could perform an alignment would depend on your model printer.

Which version of AcroRip do you have? It could possibly be a pirated version. If it is AcroRip 10, the dongle should be blue. If have AcroRip 11, the dongle should be red.

All you'll have to do is right click over the current image select "Open" If you import a new job this way, it will open the new image with the same exact settings as the last job. When you close the program, go to file and exit. This will also save all of your settings, just in case you shut your computer down.

Well, it would depend on the type of inks you're using and whether or not you have an ICC profile, for color management. You can also try to play around with the ink limit percentage values. How this will work is if you notice that the colors appear darker than you want, you can lower the ink limit percentage for color. If you want to schedule some hands-on training via video call, I also offer that as a service, here: www.popdtf.com/book-online

In order to import multiple images into one job, you will need to upgrade to AcroRip 11, since it has the image nesting feature. We sell AcroRip v11 at popdtf.com. If you want to build a gangsheet for use with AcroRip v10, you will need to build it in your design software. I show you how to build a gang sheet in Adobe Illustrator, in my Mastery Class, found here: www.popdtf.com/challenges

Be sure to go to the configuration menu for the ink channels. There could also be other printer related steps that need to be addressed, before troubleshooting in AcroRip. I also offer 1 on 1 setup help. You can check out my list of services, here: www.popdtf.com/book-online

Did you install the print drivers on the computer? Drivers need installed like any other printer.

You will need to go to the color tab, on the lower-right side of the screen. Near the top, where you see the ink limit percentage, in the white field, increase that percentage by a few percent, for the white to appear heavier. If your white layer is very thick, or the ink is pooling, you can also lower that percentage for white, and the printer will lay down, less ink.

My guess would be that you have to map your color channels out, so that AcroRip knows where your colors are assigned, on the printer. In the color tab, under "Print Settings" there should be a button that says "Setup"; there, you will be able to tell AcroRip what your color configuration is, for the printer. After you save your configuration, you should see the check boxes appear.

Where did you purchase the software from? Authorized AcroRip distributors will send you a physical USB dongle that you will use as a key, to activate the software.

Yes, definitely. I use it everyday with Windows 11. I am an authorized AcroRip Dealer, also. Here's my site: www.popdtf.com/shop

It could be your resolution settings. Also double check the output size within the layout tab, in AcroRip.

You can try increasing the ink limit percentage for the white layer. If that doesn't help, you likely have partially clogged white nozzles and the printhead will need to be cleaned. You could also be experiencing ink starvation, which means that there is air caught in either the cartridge, ink lines, or dampers.

@@elegant_edits Thank you

I'd start by doing a paper towel and Windex soak under the printhead for a minimum of 30 minutes. Once that sits, floss (shoe shine) the printhead, followed by a power clean - or at a minimum of 2 regular head cleans, waiting about 5 minutes between cleanings.

10.5.7 is the current 10.x version. If you do 11, you'll need Wide Format. If you ever end up with a smaller desktop printer (R3000 etc.), you'll need Standard. Wide Format will only work for Wide Format large printers. 10.x covers all sizes, so it's now twice as much to do all printer sizes with 11.x, nearly $1,000.

@@redgeminipa ty for the reply. So I should get the 10.5.7?

You would need to find out which print head your printer uses and then find a printer on the list of compatible printers for AcroRip. Once you have that, it's probably certain; that they share the same driver. This is the only way to sort that out.

It may be part of an ET8000 series, so you might be able to use the 8500 or 8550 driver, if it's an EcoTank printer.

Thx 👍 sir

You will still likely need a white overbase'. If you don't want to print white at all, go to the white tab in the lower right corner and under the white layer generation dropdown box, select the spot color option.

I'm not sure. the only thing that you can do is try to find out if the F6200 shares the same printhead or driver as one of the supported printers.

You MUST use an Epson printer with a minimum of 6 ink channels. You'll need CMYK plus 2 white channels. It's best to use printers with 8 or more channels, because if you end up with a completely clogged white, you can always start using a different channel.

you can remove it in photoshop, by using the magic wand tool and selecting the background, and deleting the selection. This will be covered in my Mastery Class. I think you can also find a background removing site, if you don't have access to photoshop.
