MORE DTF Film Testing On My EPSON EcoTank 15000 

Thanks for the video. I’m having this same problem. One thing I learned about DTF is that it’s a cold peel. The shirt looks good. Take your time and maybe try letting it cool a little longer. I hope there’s another video out showing how you fixed these issues.

If you use the Silhouette mat to the transfer film it will print correctly every time.. also you must take out the last set of rollers. I have the Et8550 and it works great. I have printer 200 large A3 pages. Good Luck

In your printer setting, go to maintenance. Change the density to -5 and it will stop leaving tracks through your prints.

omg I am having the EXACT same issues with my printer and now with the paper peeling. I was soooo close to just screaming internally lol Then I found you and I see that I am not alone! lol I hope we can get this right, I have waisted so much film and tshirts ugh

Hey, I think I got a bit of a good thing with the feeding of the film problem. First thing I did...I took some CARD STOCK I got from Hobby Lobby. I used Elmer's REPOSITIONABLE GLUE STICK...AND DABBED 3 PLACES ON TOP OF THE CARD STOCK. I laid the FILM on top of card stock...lining up edges.. Second thing: Being it card stock and film, I set the EP 15000 to print ENVELPOPE OR THICK PAPER, and GLOSSY. My paper is 8.5 x 11 letter size. I set the Printer Preference as well my Computer. Well, it went through that Printer like regular paper would.....to my delight!!!! Wish I could show how well that fed through, no roller marks either. The Repositionable glue can be rubbed off AFTER you powder the image. I know not all Fixes are different....BUT, this is definitely worth a shot for you and others to add to the arsenal. My card stock was white. Hope this helps...

I wouldn’t call it a fail, I would call it a success! With some testing the wood will look awesome and will open up so many new possibilities for crafters. I wonder if the tshirt would have been the same result if you ripped it like a bandaid quickly? I really enjoyed the video and look forward to a test video with wood if you do one. I love the dtf hack it’s a great option if you don’t have thousands to buy a DTF printer. So far I’ve had success with my smaller printer but am yet to try it with my ET-8550. It’s all trial and error like you said 😊 thank you ❤🇦🇺

My ET1500 was doing the same. It kept jamming, so I taped the film to the paper, and then it would print, but it would stop part way through my image every time. It's so frustrating. I really want to get this to work!

Hello there. I have seen a lot of people tape the film to one piece of copy paper. Just one piece of tape to the top edge of the paper. I hate wasting product, too! I only use my blackboard for brushing rhinestones into flock after I have placed the template on a chopping board, which I ordered from Amazon. The dollar tree has chopping boards also, but they are not as large. My fingernails are undone also. 😂 Maybe one day I’ll be able to get a large format printer and a larger auto heat press. I use a 15x15 VEVOR. I also have a 12x15 Swing Away 8 in 1 heat press, which I use mainly for the attachments, and to hover the platen over the DTF film for curing. It works great for curing because I don’t have to hold it while it’s curing the design. You’re doing great by showing your struggles. That way others can see the entire process, and what does and does not work. I wonder if you could have placed the film back down before removing it, and pressing it again to get the pieces to adhere to the T-shirt. I wonder if you accidentally brushed the powder off with your hand when you were erasing the black marks off the film. I have seen others use a scraper tool, or even a weeding tool to scratch it off after curing the design. I think I have seen someone sublimate on wood before, but mostly I’ve seen people use HTV on wood. I usually watch videos that show methods that other crafters use to successfully do different things. I enjoyed watching your video at 1 something in the morning. I also clicked LIKE, subscribed, and turned on my notifications for your future videos. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on everything at the end. Don’t stop testing, but maybe use smaller testing materials. I picked up a lot of different fabric remnants from Joanne’s fabric and craft store. I’m curious to know if you were able to scrape it off the wood or not. Best wishes!!! ❤

yeah I just got my ET-15000 today and was so excited to to make larger prints but I can't even get the printer to see the film, much less print on it. My ET-2800 had no problem what-so-ever feeding the film (WITH NO TAPING TO ANOTHER PIECE OF PAPER) and it printed beautifully. I tried the taping method on the 15000 but that actually caused the paper to really jam. Changed printer settings a million times...nothing. I am at a complete loss. At this point, I wish I had roller marks because that would mean that I was actually able to print on the film.

I appreciate all you input. Its great to hear what my viewers thoughts are...and nice to know what you're trying out as well. Thank you for watching & joining as a subscriber. Much appreciated. 😊

And you have to put like a composition book in the paper tray to keep it up 2

I've done wood...but I laminate first....then A-Sub it. I did Christmas cutting boards.

Yep, exact same issues!!!!! It's not only with the film, but others are having issues with the films for screen printing. My question is what rollers (where) did you remove? I've taped the ends also like you have done, and it still gives me the paper jam error. Did you update your drivers? This is sooooo frustration.... Yep, like you NAILs....nope....money goes to my crafts....LOL

did you remove any wheels mine has lines

What paper setting do you put on the printer for dtf

Hi I think your problem is not the rollers. I have seen lots of videos with this exact printer and different paper but every video that uses CenDale film gets those marks. Maybe try a different film to correct the marks

You have to take that roller bar out the machine

what kind of tape are using when you tape film to paper ?

Have u tried glossy setting someone said use that

What did you do to make the printer print a full page? I finally got the DTF to feed and now it won’t print but part of the graphics? I’m ready to throw this printer in the trash

?? Did you convert this printer to sublimate.

This is exactly what I’m dealing with 🤦🏾‍♀️
