Great video man, really useful! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Kingdom, Love your videos.
I am getting white lines now from my white ink.
Im using the 100% fill all colored pixel areas, it started to happen after say 10 prints so its safe to say my settings were good before it started to happen.
After 5 or 10 prints if that happens do head cleaning because that mean the white ink started to dry or separate because inside the tank there is nothing shaking the ink.
good video, very helpful for me who is a beginner. greetings from Indonesian people
Glad to hear that!
Kingdom, thanks for the great help as always. Would you recommend removing the long bar in the bottom that holds the paper roller or would just remove those tinny white rollers leaving the long bar? The long bar seems to be pushing the film up against the print and it's rubbing out the ink. Thanks for your help
Remove roll is better.
Hi, thank you for the video! It helps alot. Can i ask why my printing with blue/navy blue smears?
Thanks for watching. See this video is helps czcams.com/video/ERkf65SbsKM/video.html
I just converted my L1800 and have all the colors in the spots, its printing lines on yellow and there is no white on any of my designs My yellow and red test prints are very light. I have ran at least 10 print test and head cleaning. The heads should not be clogged, they have never been used. I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you
see how the nozzle check is coming out, if is missing from the yellow maybe that nozzle need to be clean. Try to use hot distilled water first, if not cleaning solution, and after that if you use then do the water.
Hi, it's a helpful video so I like to know after how many days head cleaning and nozzle check needs to be done, pls suggest
To be honest, as far todays ink it will depend, but is recommended to take a look and care of the white ink always.
excelente video. cada cuanto tiempo hay que hacerle limpieza cabezales ?? si no la usas mucho a diario ?
1 vez a la semana
Thanks very much for this very important and helpful video; I’ve really learnt a lot from it and it has given me the confidence I lacked to venture into DTF printing.
QUESTIONS:
1. Say, my white ink is clogged and not working to enable me do white under-base for dark T-Shirts, can I continue with the other colors without the white to print on light color T-Shirts?
2. Can I print direct from Corel Draw instead of the AcroRIP software?
1. Is recommended to have at least 40% under base of white since the powder stick to the white ink better than the cmyk. Some people have use only cmyk but the design maybe will not hold good in wash.
2. No, you need a rip software.
@@KingdomDTF thanks with much appreciation.
Hi dear 8n this two tank we need to put white ink right ?
Heyy, yesterday i used my L1800 for the first time. The image was great. Today i got black ink splatters arround my design. I did a head cleaning but was not helping. What to do? Thanks in advance.
Check the wiper that don't have dry ink. Is very rare that one day is good and the other bad like you describe. If you use cleaning solution you need to print multiple times to get the nozzle clean from the solution.
Hey I have a question I noticed that you have a lot of videos speaking about the Epson l1800 , but I noticed that we do not have too many videos in reference of the DTF Knight 6 machine so I'm wondering which of the two is better? Because I'm looking to buy one here within the next month from your guys website
L1800 is more popular. Knight 6 is an 1390 on steroids with many good features, but also I just bring a few of does, that's why I don't have so many videos.
Hi,
how did you change ML and CL to white? I bought a UV printer based on an Epson L800 with CMWWKW ink in it,.. without any manual! do you use icc profiles for printing white?=?
Using acrorip you set the color to YKWWMC. Acrorip allows you to print white.
I have a question, for these DTF printers it is necessary to connect the CISS chip that connects the 6 dumpers? I ask because I don't see it when clean up dumpers. I see in the videos just take out the dumpers and suck the ink but nobody don't say anything about the chip that regulates the ink. Thanks for the possible response, Good video
L1800 do not use chip with cartridges, it use dampers.
I how to replace the dampers on my whites as one had black in it. So now I'm trying to pull ink in the dampers. Have done it atleast 50 times. Ugh my machine hasn't been turned on for 2 weeks as I was out of town and was not leaving it on. Any tips?
There is the printhead cleaning as well at the acrorip program. Are they the same?
yes
thanks for this video it really helped.
But when we do all steps it seems that after 4 or 5 prints the line and transparency white ink happen to back?
our question is do we have to do everytime after 4 or 6 prints or is there is some kinda trick on settings. (we use 1440*720 for both white and colors and 60% on colors and 100% white)
At least every day to check the white since is the most important. In my case after change the cartridge's stop doing that and now stay full.
@@KingdomDTF is it okay if we do head cleaning 3 or 4 times a day??
@@azcustomteesteam7700 Only if it's necessary but careful that you don't put too much liquid cleaning and spill in parts you don't want to cause to go the board, that can cause a short circuit.
@@KingdomDTF you the best thanks so much for reply.
one more question i just want your opinion about big format dtf printer if you have any info bout them?
@@azcustomteesteam7700 Yes and no, the info is that some big printers are bad and others good, so you need to choose carefully if you planning to purchase. For my end I'm planning to get into it but I'm studying some companies.
Hello,great video thanks for your help.I want to ask something, i do football shirt prints.Sadly even my L1800 is new,the white ink doesnt completely cut the transparency of coloured image after print...i use %100 white + complete white selection.i use icc profile photoshop5 too as a variation.Can you advise me an alternative solution that may help me to get thicker white?Thank you
Shake the white ink every time before start to print so that way is mixed proper. Also, if the printhead have any nozzle clog that can affect the ink how it gets print.
@@KingdomDTF thank you
where to purchase those dampers?
Hi,
Whats the advantages of dampers over going from ciss to cartridges
Regards
Geoff
For ink
If you have a ciss you have continued ink flow and don't need to stop refilling cartridges or dampers vs having only cartridges or dampers once they get empty you need to stop getting them out and refill.
For cleaning
Using the dampers with a cleaning solution is more direct, if you use a ciss you need to fill all the lines before the liquid gets to the dampers.
Hope I did not misunderstand the question.
amigo los dampers dx5 no son mejores para esta impresora?? y no le adapto recirculacion de tinta blanca por que??? un saludo amigo
Puedes interntar los dampers. La circulacion para la tinta blanca se puede, eso ayuda a mantenerla completa pero solo en el tanque que yo sepa, entonces como se haria la circulacion a las lineas o dampers? se tendria que hacer manual.
To move the printhead power cut harmless to the print or chipset?
Power on printer and then disconnect the power, that make printhead loose.
What is the size of the syringe that you used?
10ml
Is there a trick to removing the white dampers? I have been trying and they seem stuck.
All dampers are the same, they have a clip on the back that you un-clip and take out the dampers. Try to use something to pull but careful.
Hi. im facing problem. after print 2-3 pieces a3 size. the white channel become clog. how to solve this issue?
already change damper, flushing head.
Need to check that the ink is for dtf and shake it well. Will need to do maintenance on the print head more.
My damper white ink getting reverse automaic may i know what will be the issue , even i have changed the damper also.
Try to remove the rubber caps to have more air flow.
What if you have tried everything and still not pruning white , head cleanings , power cleaning, new head new ink cartridges and still
No white? Please help
I have a problem, it seems like my dampers (i think that's what they are called, them small ink tanks on top of print head) , so the white ones are not getting any ink in them, I keep finding out they are empty and having to refill them manually. Do you know anything about that? :/
That happens to the white ink most of the time, why? variation like ink separation, air flow, etc. comes to play. That's why is important check before start printing.
Hi, how do you refill the ink? I have the same problem.
Our converted EPSON L1800 printer smears print in the middle of the print. We are using film paper. It starts okay but midway it starts to smudge. How do we fix it?
Clean the printhead underneath and check that the exit tray you using is centered.
I have a question. I have AcrRip 10. My printer L1800 will print two sheet with the white ink then on the third sheet my white stops printing. I have shaken the tank, my tank is full. I do daily maintenance but can’t figure out why it’s doing this. Can you help me?
When this happen could be the cartridges have dry in on the tip or they are not holding the ink, so if they are empty no ink come out. Try this also, remove the plastic cap that close the each channel, maybe you need more air flow.
@@KingdomDTF thank you. I will try your suggestion on tomorrow.
@@KingdomDTF Hello, I have exactly the same problem, can you please explain me for which caps you mean?
Buenas tardes, una pregunta, cambie los dampers de la tinta blanca, ya desarme el cabezal y lo limpie, lo que pasa es que imprimo unas 4 hojas y aparece bien el color blanco, ya a la siguiente impresion deja de salir el blanco... y tengo que volver a hacer limpieza de cabezal, que puede ser? la tinta que no sea buena? o el cabezal que este dañado?
Se supone que no, pero estoy son printers convertidos. Lo que puedes hacer es ya que saber esa info, luego de la 4 impresion mueve el tanque para que la tinta blanca se asegure que este mixta y como truco eleva el tanque 4 pulgadas de la superficie.
Muchas gracias por tu ayuda
My printer use lots of white ink , like if tank is full i can print only 20-25 a3 sheets, m i doing anything wrong ??
Try to play with the % of the ink, for white you can use 80% if you using 1440x720, 60% if you using 1440x1440 resolution. Also if you pressing white t-shirt you can print white in gradient since no need solid.
I'm having an issue with my white ink cartridges not filling on a 4 head printer and the white ink line is clear all the way from the ink storage. What do I do? Ink fills and cleans don't work
Verify that is not stock the line in a place and that's why you not getting ink.
Hello. Can you halp me. When i printing GTF picture on Epson et 8550, the printer leave straight lines all around picture. Specially on white coat. And I able to see this lines when i press image on t- shirt. Printer in new. Use for few deys. I don't know what to do with this.
I suspect the rollers is pushing too much on film. Maby you have similar problems. Thanks.
You need to remove from rollers.
I have major problem too.I'm having banding in my white.I dod power flush,then one print after that is perfect.however,the next print after that,is trash again.😭
Same here idk how to fix it I've tried everything
Elevate the ink tank 4 inches from the surface and remove the rubber lid so the ink can have better airflow. L1800 works by gravity with the ink.
i notice there is a small line when i print white color.. I I have try takeout the print heat and wash it (using cleaner) it still there . I not sure what else to do as .. please some one help me :(
Not sure how to help since I don't have a picture to see where or how is the line. I can say check that is not something else that is making that line of scratching.
Now my printing seems fade. The colors doesn't come out as 100%? But the white is perfect! What do you think is the problem?
Check the dampers or the head is not clog.
My printer makes a loud clicking noise when I go to print and no ink comes out… ideas?
How often do we need to do this
Every day you print to make sure the white ink is not separate and you have a good nozzle for your prints.
can u help brother. There is no blue color and my other white is not coming out
Remove the rubber lid from the tank for airflow and do a nozzle check.
sir same problem is my printer head wthats can I do this sir please tell me sir please help me
sir
Use cleaning solution for the clog nozzles, run cleaning cycle and print nozzle check to see the process.
what does lines without white mean? I have followed these directions and still have the lines of no ink. white only.
the pattern lines when you do nozzle check
My l1800 dampers won’t pull white ink why is this plz help
Maybe the damper is damage. Try with a new one and also remove the rubber lid from the tank for airflow.
I’m having trouble getting ink to my head to print it’s actually not pulling any ink
Need to verify that the channel is not clog.
Can u use this ink for procolored l1800
Yes, we are partners and we sell their printers.
To much work and clog issues no go for me.
Each printing method have the pros and cons, also maintenance no matter what if is dtf, dtg, screen printing, sublimation, white toner, etc. The trick is to do it and you be good.
Can u please respond to my message
I reply to you in your comments already, don't see any pv message.
@@KingdomDTF well what’s your number or FaceTime because I’m 2 mins away from giving the people there printer back there no help and how tf can u print without any help I flushed the damm printer I cleaned the damm printer still. No ink on shirts
@@kavonbriscoe84 Bad attitude, this business isn't for you if you don't have the patience to learn from your mistakes and understand that mistakes keep you knowledgeable in your field of business. If you want products that work because you want them to, you can't run a business.
@@876Abb at this point just end your account u have a white man on your screensaver and your prolly not white because most likely it’s a meme so just go sit in a damm corner and let the real person I asked helped me out ... THANKS
L1800 as a dtf solution is SHIT!
Depending how you manage it. Definitely not for bulk others like many people want the printer to do.
