I love how the feeling at touch is, I made two for my husband and I washed it without issue and colors stayed on it perfectly. I bought the dtf sheet printed because I wanted to try before invest on this printer. I will buy it.
I converted a l1800 and followed your video. I bought ink, acrorip,transfer and cleaning solutions from you. I watched your videos on how to load the ink. And how to use acrorip. My Prints came out perfect. I’ll be buying all my Inks and transfer and powder from you. My experience with kingdom dtf was great. I appreciate all your videos
This video is really helpful.. step by step is clearly given and I really love the printing,no cut precised designs direct plot into the garment.. you got ,5 stars for me brother.. can I ask the recommended temperature for melting after applying the powder.. and the temperature for final print... Thank you. Very much . This is very useful..
Cure Time: - HEAT PRESS: 325 F for 2-3 min or until it melted. Time and temperature will vary depending on the brand of heat press or the distance the heat plate are over your designs. - OVEN: 275 F for 1 minute or 1 1/2. Time and temperature will vary depending on the brand of the oven.
You seem to have a good vibe, so I subscribed. I am an artist, and made hundreds of T-Shirt Designs. I want to buy my own printer, I have done vinyl and DTG and really looking for something that is cool like this. I am not into custom T-Shirts, not my thing- but also this helps to create other artwork... I have a UV printer, a vinyl cutter and a heat press, nothing fancy- I wanted to go to the print Expo, but the pandemic put a halt to it-maybe next time. Today is Halloween, I need to watch the whole video later to understand the whole process better.
I have a printer similar to this, I have done 2 prints so far. I like the quality but didnt realize it felt a bit like vinyl. Personally, I dont mind but do other people? Trying to incorporate this into my business but definitely want the customer happy.
Is similar to vinyl since is a transfer on top of the shirt but the best part is that is durable and stretchy. If you use a decent % and press the correct way it can feel softer.
Do you have a video with how you setup the print job in acrorip? I have the same version from a dtg i had so I wanted to see how you have the settings along with how to get it to print the color first then white.
Hi thanks for the video, i have watched many videos before you but in this one i full understand the concept. But i got 3 questions for you. 1) can we direct print on transfer paper without any modification in printer ? 2) instead of light colour you used white colour and you mentioned in one comment that white colour need extra maintenance. What is that? 3) what is the best transfer paper to use for this method ? ( What should be it GSM or microns)
Printer need modification to be able to grab the film and print correctly. Yes, white ink separate and need to shake every day and do maintenance to the print head so don't clog. Just use dtf transfer film for best results.
Very interesting, I have some questions What happens if we print full color photography (portraits) size A3? Is this a thick plastic sensation? On a hot afternoon is it recommended? , only recommended for designs with cutouts only? Greetings!
Hi! Thanks for the video! Why is needed a 'platform' for the PET after the print? It's like you add an extension to the "paper out". Is there any reason for that? Is it included? Thanks!
Question: how do you know which part on film is printable? I have same Films and always confused about printing side!!!?? I heard there is a marker that you can use but what kind of marker I tried all markers and still write on both sides!!
Hola i would like to ask a question....when powdering printed design i notice after flicking film and heating the powder i find residue of powder on my shirt? what should i do so the powder does not show around my image??
the max size is A3 that is 16 inches long. if you custom the size like putting together I think is possible depending the design you are trying to do. That's something to be test.
DTF use special transfer films, they come in matte or glossy, but that just the backing, the front that is printable is the same. Plain paper don't work for dtf.
Hello. my epson xp15000 is converted to DTF and using AcroRip11. It was printing fine. All of a sudden the beginning of the printing turns out stretched. I printed an image just fine, then I wanted to print the same image again and that's when it started. Example. If I wanted to print a circular image, it would come out like an egg/oval shape. I have uninstalled the software and installed it, and still keeps printing like that. Any idea of what could be? Thank you.
Hi, I really need help. I just converted brand new L1800 to dtf. I fully loaded with inks, and followed your acrorip settings. I made a couple of prints, but I got bad results on black tees. The prints are not vibrant, and after pressing there are little black dots all over. Like a little cracks. What might be the problem? Curing, inks, settings or something else? Thank you!
You need to have a solid white under base for dark garment. With time found the best result to put powder to the ink is when is a little bit dry and not wet.
hi, could you tell me if the maintenance is complicated because of the white ink? I've heard that white ink dries quickly in the printer and causes clogging in the print head, do you have a tip for that?
Hi, Im having a problem with the ink darkening out and the white turning grey when pressing black tshirts. when i printed on white it didnt seem to be as much of a problem. Ive tried upping the ink percentage and having no luck. Any ideas?
This is a great technology, got myself one of this and I am happy with the results but i have one problem, How do you remove a printing mistakes from a T-shirt?
Hello I'm from Brazil, I watched your videos and started using this DTF technique here. I have a problem with the Epson L1800 printer it does not print white. I've already followed your configuration video and nothing. Do you happen to know what it can be? thankful
@@KingdomDTF I have already checked all the settings step by step. I removed and installed the Acro Rip 9 again, did the procedure to unclog the print head and nothing went right. Another question do you sell the inputs to Brazil? I prefer to buy ink and film from your store.
could you maybe help me ?? I have a problem with my printer L1800 (1390), the two ON / OFF and Ink lights are on. I filled up the inks, put the cushion back on and vacuumed off the rest and also cleaned the print head. Unfortunately the printer doesn't work. If I press the button with ink for three seconds, the on / off button lights up and after two hours nothing happens. I would be happy if you could help me further. Best wishes
No sure, the problem will be how to print white ink. Only rip software see that, not photoshop or other reg software, but I will investigate and if there something I make a video about it. If you need a cheaper option try xp-15000
Cure Time: - HEAT PRESS: 325 F for 2-3 min or until it melted. Time and temperature will vary depending on the brand of heat press or the distance the heat plate are over your designs. - OVEN: 275 F for 1 minute or 1 1/2. Time and temperature will vary depending on the brand of the oven.
Since dtf came out was most with heat press by hovering over the design. Now you can do oven, flash dryer, heat gun, any that help the powder to get melt.
Epson L805 Do you also have problems with large designs that streaks or blurring appear through the printer? think while printing what is feeling about expression? role?
não, a tinta DTF é diferente do DTG fictício, mas ouvi falar de pessoas que usam o DTG. Eu recomendo o DTF fictício para tornar a manutenção do cabeçote menos e mais fácil. Portanto, o cabeçote não é coberto constantemente como aconteceu com a tinta DTg.
Sorry I have got a problem. After I heat press the shirt, there are some stains around the print. I think they come from the powder (not 100% sure but can't think of any other reason). Would you have any solution for that?
I was also planning to use it for photo printing. I don’t know if it’s the best idea to get seperate inks. Also Can the normal ink setup print white without adding in the additional white ink? Like not fully white but white parts. I’m planning to use it for dtf
Have you issues when you peel out details less than 1mm? I have this problem...after peeling, alot of little details remains on PET film not on the garment.
Most people call it transfer film because they transfer, film because are special and not regular paper and not sublimation paper. The manufactures call it pet transfer film, there is different film, so if you looking for that you need to tell them that is for DTF. If you live in USA, we sell DTF printers and DTF supplies at KingdomDTF.com
Maybe, you need to try and if work I guess will be only color inks for white or light shirts. Rip software is the one that allow to print white ink and does printer are not for that specific for dtf.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm looking to get away from DTG. How does the DTF shirt wash? Much color loss during the first few washes or is it comprable to DTG washes?
i see other people run into issues with cleaning heads all the time on other printers along with other daily maintenance needed. Does this printer follow the same maintenance requirements and if so how often do you have to clean it. Thank you!!
To be honest, DTF have change a little bit since it started, before maintenance was minimum, now required more and that because manufactures have change the wait they do inks.
I have a similar printer printing everything nice and smooth except white parts in my designs no matter what kind of setting I’m using can’t manage to take out white print or mixed print as your design where have a combination from black and white in same print any ideas how to do it?
Verify the nozzle check, if you are missing it is possible the channels are clog. If nozzle check is good, then see if the dampers need to be clean at the tip, elevate the tank 3 or 4 inches from surface, consider re-install the software since could have an error.
Hi, I’m new in DTF printing. I have a Epson L805 DTF printing Ready. I have issues with the dtf paper feeding. It wont take the paper. Do you have a solution?
Try to put a peace of tape in the sensor, is the white part you see when you put paper close to the wheel that grab it. Also put more paper on the back for support.
hola, a mi me quedan poliamida fuera del diseño dejando bordes, sacudo y golpeo el film para sacar el exceso pero igual nose porque se queda fuera de los bordes del diseño :(
Tienes que sacudir un poco fuerte, hacer el primer press, peel off y luego el press final con Teflon. No deberia quedar borde ya que el secondo press se lo lleva.
You print on the coated side of the film, scratch the corner a little and you see what is the correct side to print. With the rip software you print color + white at the same time.
I just purchased a 1800 . Installed inks , prepped dampers, and everything ready to print . When I send the print to the printer im acro it "pretends " to print but nothing is on the paper? Any suggestions?
Yes, but if I'm not mistaking L1300 is 4 or 5 colors? In that case may not be able to print white ink. But that's just me assuming I have never print with an L1300.
I haven’t added any ink as yet. When I turn on the printer. The power light and ink light is blinking. It’s a new epson. Yours is lighting up but not blinking. Do you know why mine would be blinking.
If they blink alternately you need to reset the ink pads. If is at the same time something wrong happen. You can download WIC software and run a report to see what happen. www.wic.support This video show you what I'm talking about czcams.com/video/N4FYyBYN4-U/video.html
with this printer do you need to convert it with your ink? if so is it difficult can I just add in the ink and be ready to work? also do I need to purchase the Rip software separately?
For dtf it need to be modified a little , use dtf inks, powder and films. To be able to print white you need a rip software. You can see more info here KingdomDTF.com
What needs to be modified? I have seen a video where only some small pieces was taken out and the waste tank was replaced with a soda bottle? Is that correct which it looked like the easiest way
@@KuruptDJ yes I know, try to use 1440x720 resolution and put more ink %, color 60 or 80, white 80 or 100 % This will cut the time to half but need more ink. Do your test to see how they come out and which one you prefer better.
Great contribution to DTF community 👍
Thanks 👍
I love how the feeling at touch is, I made two for my husband and I washed it without issue and colors stayed on it perfectly. I bought the dtf sheet printed because I wanted to try before invest on this printer. I will buy it.
That is awesome!
I like what you are doing with your help I print my first t-shirt successfully thank you again.
that is great for you
Thank u so much sir. I learn complete course of What to need and what to do in DTF printing business. This really help me. bless u my friends💕
You are most welcome
I really want to try this...iam so exited
Good, just get the dtf inks, film and powder.
This channel is invaluable. I'm thinking of getting this dtf printer but wanted more info.

Is similar to vinyl since is a transfer on top of the shirt but the best part is that is durable and stretchy. If you use a decent % and press the correct way it can feel softer.
Nice one men. God bless u
Appreciated
Great!
😃
So when pressed onto shirt is the feel the same as DTG print or more like feel of Vinyl print?
Between dtg and htv, can still feel a little but soft. Colors are bright and stretchy as you see in the video.
It was a great work. Thank you. Any changes in the printer hardware? What adjustments do we need to use to use white ink?
A rip software to be able to print the white ink. modification inside a little but I don't have video about that.
Can you reuse the transfer film or does it need a new one for each one you make?
One use, same way other transfer paper works in the industry. Manufacturers will not lose money making a sheet for multiple prints :(
I like your work , I do sublimation, laser transfer and Vinyl, i subscribe to your channel
Thank you
This is awesome! Did you also do a wash test to see if the print will fade or crack?
Not yet but for crack, I doubt it will happen. DTF has proven to be better than white toner already just by the stretchy test.
Such a genuine guy 🤎
oh? well thanks
Good job
Thanks
What exactly is converted... seems like you swap the ink and add the trader paper. I have a p600 DTG but looking into DTF.
If you have a dtg already you can change to dtf ink and supplies.
hi king....nice video...
Thanks for watching!
Do you have a video with how you setup the print job in acrorip? I have the same version from a dtg i had so I wanted to see how you have the settings along with how to get it to print the color first then white.
Yes, I have a tutorial of 3 parts. Take a look czcams.com/video/9_LMtKGSIww/video.html

Very interesting, I have some questions
What happens if we print full color photography (portraits) size A3?
Is this a thick plastic sensation? On a hot afternoon is it recommended? , only recommended for designs with cutouts only?
Greetings!
Is going to feel, but soft. I will do next time a video with a photo.
Thank you
You're welcome
Hi! Thanks for the video! Why is needed a 'platform' for the PET after the print? It's like you add an extension to the "paper out". Is there any reason for that? Is it included?
Thanks!
Is for the film that comes straight out and not bend. If is bend will smudged or damage at the end.
Question: how do you know which part on film is printable? I have same Films and always confused about printing side!!!??
I heard there is a marker that you can use but what kind of marker I tried all markers and still write on both sides!!
Just point the film to the light, there is going to be a side that is more matte and other shiny. Print only on the matte side.
Hi. Thank you for the video. Why do we need prime the dampers? Can not they suck the ink from the tank for the first startup? Thanks
To accelerate the process and with dtf inks are more heavy than regular ink jet inks.
Just got my printer!!!!
Let me borrow it
Hola i would like to ask a question....when powdering printed design i notice after flicking film and heating the powder i find residue of powder on my shirt? what should i do so the powder does not show around my image??
Shake it more from film and also from t-shirt after press. Fine powder do that but is the best one for smooth designs.
very nice
Thanks
If i cut custom my film size. Can i print in 11x20 or 11x22... or longer ?
the max size is A3 that is 16 inches long. if you custom the size like putting together I think is possible depending the design you are trying to do. That's something to be test.
hi, thanks for the video, may i know what is the powder did you used right after you printed the design?
Yeah Im surprised it was not mentioned. I would like to know as well.
It calls different names, DTF Powder, TPU powder, adhesive powder, etc., but everyone call it DTF powder.
What settings do you for paper? Im not sure if I'm supposed to change to Glossy or Matt or Plain paper? X
DTF use special transfer films, they come in matte or glossy, but that just the backing, the front that is printable is the same. Plain paper don't work for dtf.
@@KingdomDTF does the matte make the image matte or glossy make your image glossy
MY MANNNNNNN
Yes MANNNNNNN
is there a way to knock out the black like on the white toner ones? im really leaning on buying one of these. any good deals going on ? thanks.
Yes, you can knock black. No deal for the moment, just ended.

How do you configure the printing? the software is programmed to interpret light cyan and light magenta, how do you change to white?
The RIP software s the one that tell the printer to print white.
Hi does the Epson L1800 DTF Converted its a good choice to start a home job or will start to give problems in a few months?
you dont need to remove the rollers in the printer ?

I've heard that white ink dries quickly in the printer and causes clogging in the print head, do you have a tip for that?
Is not, one per week very easy. czcams.com/video/fQrMnDS3aGg/video.html
Can you remove the black ink from the image before printing? That way the black from the shirt fills that spot.
Yes, using the rip software like Digital factory 10 or Acrorip 10.
Hi, Im having a problem with the ink darkening out and the white turning grey when pressing black tshirts. when i printed on white it didnt seem to be as much of a problem. Ive tried upping the ink percentage and having no luck. Any ideas?
Try to put 100% white under base for dark shirts. Also don't forget to shake and mix the white ink.
This is a great technology, got myself one of this and I am happy with the results but i have one problem,
How do you remove a printing mistakes from a T-shirt?
Printing mistake from a shirt? I guess printing the correct design and making a new one. I have not see anything to remove after press.
So you don't need to remove the rollers?
Hi! nice job. please do similar for L805 A4 printer .please show seating's for templet to get exact results. thanks.
Is the same process, just A4 printer is smaller.
some manufacturers include RIP softwares as bundle with the DTF unit. will you include that too with the purchase?
Most of the people are using acrorip. Yes software is included.
I have an epson 3880 do you think I can use the same process to make it a dtf printer?
Yes, 3880 is on the list of Acrorip.

Try to reset the ink pads. You do that with a re-setter software.
Hi, do u think the EcoTank Photo ET-8550 can be converted to a DTF? It has 6 ink slots
No sure, the problem will be how to print white ink. Only rip software see that, not photoshop or other reg software, but I will investigate and if there something I make a video about it.
If you need a cheaper option try xp-15000
Hi, may i know how was your wash test? Did it fade?
Good, no fade.
hi , how many films can print per hour and what about the washablitiy of the shirts . thanks in advance .
That's depends the size of the design you printing. According to the ink manufacturers 50+ wash, users in the community have test 20 wash so far.
Sir how you preheated the printed film to melt it at what temperature and then at what temperature and time setting. Please explain briefly
Cure Time:
- HEAT PRESS: 325 F for 2-3 min or until it melted. Time and temperature will vary depending on the brand of heat press or the distance the heat plate are over your designs.
- OVEN: 275 F for 1 minute or 1 1/2. Time and temperature will vary depending on the brand of the oven.
do you use vaccum in your L1800 while printing to protect the head of printer?
No
thanks for the video. how do you dry after the powder? oven or press? is there a video about it?
Since dtf came out was most with heat press by hovering over the design. Now you can do oven, flash dryer, heat gun, any that help the powder to get melt.
understand, thanks for the info.
Epson L805 Do you also have problems with large designs that streaks or blurring appear through the printer? think while printing what is feeling about expression? role?
Olá sou do Brazil, e gostaria de saber se essa tinta que vc usa nessa impressora é a mesma tinta para DTG? Aguardo.
não, a tinta DTF é diferente do DTG fictício, mas ouvi falar de pessoas que usam o DTG. Eu recomendo o DTF fictício para tornar a manutenção do cabeçote menos e mais fácil. Portanto, o cabeçote não é coberto constantemente como aconteceu com a tinta DTg.
Do you have to use acrorip for this printer or can you use any software?
For l1800 Acrorip, Kothari or white rip.
P400,600,800 Acrorip, EK studio, Kothari or white rip.
Sorry I have got a problem. After I heat press the shirt, there are some stains around the print. I think they come from the powder (not 100% sure but can't think of any other reason). Would you have any solution for that?
Need to shake more the design before press. after press you should be able do get this off since you don't have ink in that remaining.
Hey can you tell me if you can skip the powder part and let it dry over night ?
No, if you let dry completely powder will not work later, once ink dry can come off and is easy to scratch.
Can we store the printed films for later use or they have to be used right away?
Yes, you can storage then on a big ziplock bag.
Grest video, may I ask the percentage of colour and white in the acrorip settings?
Thanks a lot
40% color, 60% white
I was also planning to use it for photo printing. I don’t know if it’s the best idea to get seperate inks. Also Can the normal ink setup print white without adding in the additional white ink? Like not fully white but white parts. I’m planning to use it for dtf
No, you need white ink to do dtf.
Thank you for your videos. It looks like you are sold out of all of your modified printers. Will you have more soon? Thank you.
Yes, soon
Hello what is the best temperature and time heat press for dtf
Depending on the heat press since not all of them are the same, but try 302 F to 320 F for 10-15 sec.
can you still use it for regular printing on paper once you modify the printer?
You will need to change the ink back to the regular inkjet inks. Dtf inks is not for printing on regular paper.
I finally got it but I have MacBook Air Idk if will connect. I really need help with that set up.
Rip software are for windows pc.
Have you issues when you peel out details less than 1mm? I have this problem...after peeling, alot of little details remains on PET film not on the garment.
Try to press high, peel cold.
Hi. Is this printer in his original shape or modified? Which software use for printing process for pantone colours mixing
L1800 mod to be able to print transfer film. Acrorip software to print and also gradients, but on transparency is not so good.
cool
super cool
hi bro. can you tell me what kind or what is the transfer film called. and tge acrorip is free software to download thanks in advance
Most people call it transfer film because they transfer, film because are special and not regular paper and not sublimation paper. The manufactures call it pet transfer film, there is different film, so if you looking for that you need to tell them that is for DTF.
If you live in USA, we sell DTF printers and DTF supplies at KingdomDTF.com
Can you customize any image that you want ? And what software do you use ? Thank you !
Yes, you can print anything you like.
For dtf you need a rip software like Acrorip 10 or Cadlink Digital Factory 10.
Hi I just received the transfers. What temperature and time to press?
325 F for 15 sec. I send you an email with instructions.
Would I be able to do DTF with a EPSON ET 4700 or 4760? They are both inkjet printers with Ink Tanks but they only have 4 ink tanks!
Maybe, you need to try and if work I guess will be only color inks for white or light shirts. Rip software is the one that allow to print white ink and does printer are not for that specific for dtf.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm looking to get away from DTG. How does the DTF shirt wash? Much color loss during the first few washes or is it comprable to DTG washes?
It holds, people in community have test 10, 20 and is good. Manufactures say 50+. I have not seen any damage on my designs yet.
Hei...do you use original damper or modified damper as for eco dolvent ink?
original dampers or replacement can work.
i see other people run into issues with cleaning heads all the time on other printers along with other daily maintenance needed. Does this printer follow the same maintenance requirements and if so how often do you have to clean it. Thank you!!
I saw a guy added cleaning solution on the second black cartridge, don't know if it helps or not.
To be honest, DTF have change a little bit since it started, before maintenance was minimum, now required more and that because manufactures have change the wait they do inks.

Awesome.. But can I just use the normal inks that come with epson printers?
For dtf no since that ink is dye ink, and dtf ink is special pigmented to stretchy with powder.
Hii how much ink percentage u use for white and colour inks ?? And what about the resolution 1440x1440 or 1440x720 ??
Acrorip
1440x720 res, 60 color, 80 to 100 white can be use
1440x1440 res, 40 color, 60 white
This is great. Do you know if I can use cricut easy press 2 to press the image?
I think you can use it but need to verify if the pressure is enough since need to press mid-high.
No this requires some good pressure which only a heat press can give and heat up from both sides
I removed the plastic cover on the tubes and can’t get it back on. Will it work the same without the plastic cover?
I'm guess you talking about what hold the cartridges, if is that you can put tape, but that plastic cover is easy to put back.
hola, a mi me quedan poliamida fuera del diseño dejando bordes, sacudo y golpeo el film para sacar el exceso pero igual nose porque se queda fuera de los bordes del diseño :(
Tienes que sacudir un poco fuerte, hacer el primer press, peel off y luego el press final con Teflon. No deberia quedar borde ya que el secondo press se lo lleva.
hello what side of the paper do i print on ? also do i do color then white then powder ?
You print on the coated side of the film, scratch the corner a little and you see what is the correct side to print. With the rip software you print color + white at the same time.
I just purchased a 1800 . Installed inks , prepped dampers, and everything ready to print . When I send the print to the printer im acro it "pretends " to print but nothing is on the paper? Any suggestions?
Make sure ink tank is open, elevate the tank 4 inches from surface. Try also to re-install the software.
great video , can I ask what type of heat press is that !!!!!!!!
No brand from over seas, 24 x 16 auto open with slide plate.
@@KingdomDTF thanks keep being GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
Can i also do this with L1300 printer? I'm very intrigue. Thank you.
Yes, but if I'm not mistaking L1300 is 4 or 5 colors? In that case may not be able to print white ink. But that's just me assuming I have never print with an L1300.
Can it be done with L805
Will these transfers work with sublimation mugs?
Not sure to be honest, I never have tried and and never have seen anyone do it. That could be a cool video to try.
I haven’t added any ink as yet. When I turn on the printer. The power light and ink light is blinking. It’s a new epson. Yours is lighting up but not blinking. Do you know why mine would be blinking.
If they blink alternately you need to reset the ink pads. If is at the same time something wrong happen. You can download WIC software and run a report to see what happen. www.wic.support
This video show you what I'm talking about czcams.com/video/N4FYyBYN4-U/video.html
Your video is great , my question is what if I replace dtf ink with eco solvent ink . Is it possible?
I don’t know. Since no one have try it you will need to test yourself.
No , it didnot advise .
Nice Video. I want to know after how many wash did the printing color faded.
A lot, maybe 30+
Hello, May i ask you what is the best printer that i convert to dft, easier and convenient to use.?
Depends. There is many good printer out there that can be converted. I personally like P400, is easy to do maintenance like L1800 and fast like P600.
Your website says windows is required. Do you have anything for Mac users?
No sorry, software is only for windows. That's the problem with Mac since apple OS is so closed not to many company do software for mac.
with this printer do you need to convert it with your ink? if so is it difficult can I just add in the ink and be ready to work? also do I need to purchase the Rip software separately?
For dtf it need to be modified a little , use dtf inks, powder and films. To be able to print white you need a rip software. You can see more info here KingdomDTF.com
What needs to be modified? I have seen a video where only some small pieces was taken out and the waste tank was replaced with a soda bottle? Is that correct which it looked like the easiest way
When you are printing do you use the direct factory program or you just print from silhouette/photoshop/affinity
Yes. You need a rip software to print white, you can not do that from software like silhouette/photoshop/affinity.
Thank you which one should I get
Most people use Cadlink digital factory 10 or Acrorip 10
please do another one of these videos and talk more about the acrorip settings
I will make one and update
@@KingdomDTF Thanks! Your channel has been helping me a tonne! keep up the good work sir
@@KingdomDTF Do you have any settings to make it print faster? taking about 20 minutes per print following your tutorials
@@KuruptDJ yes I know, try to use 1440x720 resolution and put more ink %, color 60 or 80, white 80 or 100 %
This will cut the time to half but need more ink. Do your test to see how they come out and which one you prefer better.
@@KingdomDTF Thank you brother will try it :)
