Thanks. I am also looking at doing the conversion. I'd just like to know why the rollers need to be removed? What will happen if you don't?
The issue with this will be the white ink. It has to be shaken daily to avoid it from separating and/or clogging the print head/nozzles. I've been doing DTF for well over a year with a L1800. It requires daily maintenance. Please keep us posted after a couple weeks. Good luck!
Just watched this video, yes it's a little old. Never knew this could be done for a fraction of the cost of dtf printers. My only question is do you have to have some type of software to make it print. I have always only used cricut and printable htv. So was just curious if you have to have anything extra to make the printer correctly print with all the different colors. I currently use an eco tank inkjet to print my htv printable vinyl. and only use my cricut design space for print and cut.
I needed to see this video to decide that I do want this next for my business! If you're willing to charge to help people set up via video conferencing, please let us know! I'd totally pay.
Omg so this all I gotta do is remove the rollers, your video was a breeze. I’m still thinking about everything because I was about to get into eco solvent as well. Thank you so much for the video 💖💖💖💖
When my printer has to print white it doesn't come out and when I need black it comes out white I need your help I have followed all your steps with the printer I have put the inks in the same way as you but it doesn't come out could you help me I'm from Spain
Patrice you always amaze me. I was so afraid you broke the printer. Can’t wait to see more designs. Thank you so much for this informative video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does this software have to be used for this conversion? I put my colors in as you have shown and now the black doesn't print out correctly. Where it should be black in the image it's coming out white. I used Inkscape to try to print my image.
What software
I have no idea why but im having such a hard time trying to remove the metal plate.. another video shows a guy taking the whole thing apart not into all that.. trying to do it this way but its difficult for me...
Love this! I think this video solidified I’m not ready for DTF, but perhaps one day…the shirt looked amazing though. I always appreciate you learning for us and sharing about your experience 💓
Patrice, you always provide value! Love your content and channel! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this video. I just got my printer yesterday and now need to order my ink, film , and powder. I feel more confident after eating your video. Once again thank you
Very informative, you explained it very well. Thank you for sharing 😊 Continue to motivate us! We may get into DTF very soon, going with the Epson of course.Thank you Patrice❤️
This is the video of the year so far! Excellent content! Cant wait to learn more!
OMG!!! This video was just what the doctor ordered!!! Thank You!!!!
It prints like no other
girrrrllll its the motivation for me.. as you continue to motivate us all to expand our craft to the next level. because of you I whipped out that sewing machine.. love it and keep them coming..
As usual this was another awesome video. As much as I loved the shirts I don't think that I could follow all of those steps. But thanks so much for sharing the process and outcome with us. You're fantastic!
Yes, I definitely want to see all of the journey!!! I have to admit, I was a wee bit nervous watching you pull those wheels out🤣 Can't wait to see more DTF videos.
