Anybody got any advice on troubleshooting a l1800 pro colored dtf printer? Whenever I turn the front power button on it makes this loud screech for 2 seconds and then the 2 middle buttons on the front start flashing red . I found out I had a broken ink pad and just replaced that and I greased up the rail that my nozzles, ink cartridges and print head run along when printing. If anyone can help or put me into the right direction I would be extremely grateful

Are you still having problems with it flashing the lights? You may need to turn the machine off and then unplug it from your outlet. Then replug it in and turn it on and it may reset the machine and cause the flashing to stop.

You will need to play around with your heat settings and the amount of time the print is in the oven. I have my oven set to 150 for the temperature and then originally it was at 200 seconds.

Hey Sarah! Thanks for the informative video. I am scouring the internet for a fix to my problem. I’m also uploading pics and chatting with Procolored during the wee hours lol. I have two problems. The first is reoccurring but goes away after a few days: It stops printing mid print! I have to turn it off and restart then have to restart the print. I’m wasting ink and film. The other problem is a ghosting or shadowing on prints. My first print is usually fine but subsequent prints have a ghosted image outline. This is usually on the second half of the print. I have tried changing the print direction and the ink from 70 to 85. Neither of these has helped me produce a fully clear image. Any suggestions? Do you mind sharing which film you use? I have just bought film for the first time and did not go with the same brand that came with the printer. I have the same one you have.
@sarahscreativeboutiquellc2 ай бұрын
Hi! There can be a number of problems that will cause your printer to stop mid print. It could be a connection issue between your computer and your printer or it's a problem with the printer itself. The ghosting problem can be caused by either your print head or a clogged nozzle. I would start by cleaning your print head and waste ink pad first and then seeing if this fixes the issue. If it doesn't you will need to flush your nozzle heads out with cleaning solution. The film I currently use I purchased from Amazon. Here's the link to the one I use: amzn.to/3XFQDIF
