    Such an informative video….thank you! I just purchase an L1800, haven’t received it yet, but I was trying to find any and all info that will be helpful for when I get it and happen to run into issues. Please make more videos of any other issues you might come across and what you did to fix it, you explain everything so well.
    I was starting to get nervous about all the negative comments regarding this printer and how much people complain about the maintenance. One of my questions was whether it should stay on all the time and you’ve answered that. I’m excited but nervous about the whole set up.

    I'm deep into DTF the issue with that line at the end of your print if your paper /film is to short or if your image is close to the edge it will smear u have to have at least an extra 1inch and a half or 2 inches so it stays in rollers and won't shift. I figured that out after multiple 13x19 prints success till the end I wasn't leaving enough the film wasn't stabled in rollers. Today I'm taking print head out of mine and cleaning it in ultrasonic cleaner. Then fun of dtf

    Very good job with your video production. Hope you will do another video showing how you apply and cure the DTF powder. The powder handling and curing process is a major health concern for me.

      Thank you! My biggest tip for applying and curing the DTF powder is to wear a respirator and keep a window open if possible. It helps with the ventilation and the respirator will help protect you from inhaling the powder. I can do a video on that!

      @@rubyjuly740 You would have to put all 100 images on one sheet in the program. You'd have to adjust the page length to fit them all. However, I'm not sure how long of a continous page you can make.

      @@carolhewett-fo8lq In my opinion, you have so much more freedom and opportunities with a dtf printer versus a sublimation printer. Once you get the maintenance down it's not as scary as it seems upfront.
