In this video, I set up and use a DTF printer that I received from ProColored. The model is the A4. They also have an A3 which prints larger film. Use the code MAKINGWITHMARILYN for a discount ($80 as of when I uploaded the video). ProColored is having a nice sale during the month of August 2023 also.

@@sharonlee469 all the DTF videos I watched required the pulling of ink and having the rip software in the computer while using the printer. I felt a bit overwhelmed b/c I was so stressed:) Regarding the actual printer, I used it for the first time yesterday so I don't feel like I have used it enough yet. But I will say that there was nothing about its quality that would make me say to stay away from it. I like that it has the ink agitating system and the heater.

@jackiewoolard4359 11 месяцев назад

Hi Marilyn..I have watched this video a million times as I wait for mine to arrive. Do you have to have a dedicated printer for this printer....I mean can you use it with wifi or not?

@MakingwithMarilyn 11 месяцев назад

I'm not sure if you can use it with wifi b/c I always just hook my computer up to it. I'm loving the printer, though! It was intimidating to me to set it up, but I got through it okay. Good luck with your new toy when it arrives!

@LaChelle1962 11 месяцев назад

Nice do you have to print daily to keep the ink from clogging or is this not the printer that clogs up. Have a blessed day.

@MakingwithMarilyn 11 месяцев назад

DTF printers are more prone to clogging due to the white ink. It is not as thin and watery as the colors. This printer has an ink stirring feature and a heater. I just got it up and running a couple days ago, but have been printing a small one-inch square design each day until I know more about the qualities of DTF printing.

@jestcy4205 5 месяцев назад

You CAN use a Mac with these 😁 Macs come pre installed w something called “boot camp.” It allows you to download windows software on your Mac and lets you switch between the 2. (You can’t use both at same time but you switch between them.) It’s not hard to do just a little intimidating. However Mac makes it simple and walks u through the entire process. I thought the same as you at first until I dug a bit deeper into it and read about boot camp. 😁

@jestcy4205 4 месяца назад

@@MakingwithMarilynthought to add to this is that for anyone doing this the only thing you need to do is purchase a windows product key after doing the boot camp. (Or else you won’t be able to rip/print it.) Just thought to add this incase anyone’s looking into doing this. But it works perfectly on a Mac this way. ❤

Are you normally supposed to use the syringes with the ink?

@MakingwithMarilyn 11 месяцев назад

Some people that have tanks with large openings just dump it straight from the bottle. I was able to use the funnels for all but the white ink. The tubes took up so much space I used the syringes for it.

Hey Marilyn, I am looking to get this printer but not sure of which one you are working with. I want the L1800, does it comes in the A4 version.

I leave mine on 24/7 because it has an auto mix system to keep the white inks "healthy".
