I just closed my shop down due to not liking pod prices but man I may have to invest into this printer and reopen my shop . I was getting some good organic traffic with only 70 listings.
Just a quick pro tip brotha! before you sit down and start talking set up your camera in focus then switch the lens to manual so it doesnt go out of focus when you start recording! much love !
The washability is terrible. I don't think this is an issue with the Printer but with the White Toner transfer process. I owned one of these for some time, it is a great printer, with no issues, but after a few washes, the design will crack. The only time that I had lasting results is when I applied a foil over the top of a design which provided a layer of protection, I guess. FYI I am no amateur. Rasterizing the images did help, but still, its film/paper laying on top of the garment...it will crack. If this machine was under $5k it's a no-brainer, get it. it would be worth printing for shirts you don't plan to wear more than a few times, especially for holidays or special days at school for kids!
maybe putting all the links of the stuff you used in a specific video on one section of your description is good so people don't have to look for it. i just don't look at the links anymore cause i'm lazy looking of which is which from a bunch of them.
Did you rasterize the image in the RIP software to get a softer hand to avoid that paper feel or does it still feel like that after rasterizing? I couldn’t tell if you did that with the image. I’m thinking of getting an iColor white toner printer.
Thanks for the video Rich. What is the maintenance like with a white toner printer? Do you have to run it daily, to keep the heads clean and unclogged like the DTF printers? And, do you think it is a good investment for someone just starting out? Or, would it make more sense to outsource my transfers from other companies?
The washability sucks. No matter how well you stick to the recommended process it is film/paper that sits on top of the fabric of the garment. It will crack...
What time of printer do you recommend for someone that is barely getting started? Also I want to make stickers, what do you recommend? Thanks for sharing all your knowledge ✌🏽
brother i have one like that and i can't make it works in using stardar paper could you tell me the configuration while printing? like weight paper size is it 163g?? the quality is it 600x600?? thanks for helping!
I'm using the iColor Standard Two-Step transfers without issue. 600x600 dpi, bypass-tray, Paper Type: Thick to 220g, Press 1: Apply adhesive 310F for 90s, Press 2: onto shirt 310F for 30s, Press 3: Finishing on cotton 370F 30s. Works great. FYI, the iColor adhisive and transfer paper is WAY better than the Digital HeatFX Ez-Peal. (I've tried both)
You start the video saying that you printed 7,264 prints. By the end of the video you said you printed 14,000 prints. Did I miss something? Because if I didn't your profitability is half of what you said it is
