Thanks a ton, very helpful. I was just about to purchase a similar DTF printer on alibaba. I think i may go with the ET8550 and look into converting it instead

Thank you for the information. I was considering a DTF printer but several makers have advised against it. I currently get DTF iron ones from jiffy shirts and they are always great products.

I have exactly the same machine as you,, only that it has a different logo on the front, I have printed more than a hundred t-shirt transfers with it and very happy with it and the results, the colors I get, the ombré effects, I guess is matter of luck, or even a matter of the ink, not the machine itself, mine has got an Epson printhead, maybe you can just change printhead and get it running like new, there are plenty of videos that explain how to flush or how to change printhead.. I bought the dampers and liquid kit to be able to leave it unused for a long time and I left it and I was afraid anything was blocked or that the ink could have clogged the tubes or head... and it didn't! So I would never say to people "Don't buy a machine like this, they are a nightmare" because I have quite a good experience with it, I feel sorry you didn't get the same experience I do, so I would never say that all these machines are useless, because the are very useful.

I know some might work ok but not for longevity. They simply aren't meant to do dtf and parts often break,etc. But I'm glad you have had good luck. I gave mine away bc I print commercial on a 24 inch now. But I try to help others bc soooo many think it's going to bring great success. And far to many get junk. I wish u the best!
@FancylooksАй бұрын
@@smalltownapparel Well, though it may not be the best machine available, and I guess it is quite far from that, I certainly didn't get junk, maybe it could be considered a good hobby machine, certainly not a professional one, but it is not junk, and I have been using it since January 2023 and it is running good

Thank you for the information but it's too late. I purchased one from Alibaba and have not been able to get it to work since receiving it 2 weeks ago.

Any suggestions you can give me would be appreciated. Thank you!

I wish you knew it’s actually Epson L1800 inside there. They just converted it and put new cover. Maybe if you knew connecting with Epson CS support would be much easier and faster although they’d not give warranty coverage since the printer was already “jailbroken”. Epson L1800 is less than $1000 actually

Hello, I just saw videos where they say that dust that sticks to the design can cause cancer. What procedures should be in place to prevent this dust from spreading throughout the work area?
@Don-TSKSupport3 ай бұрын
You would need to refer to the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for the specific type of powder you are using. From a general standpoint, most powder is non-toxic in powder form, and only when it is burned or at a very high temperature would it change into another state or form that may cause illnesses such as cancer. Another point to make would be that exposure to the powder dust directly and fumes over time is not very good for your health, as particulates of any kind in your body create a foreign element for your body to fight against. Best practices if you are concerned for your health and the health of others would be to ensure you have adequate ventilation, and are wearing gloves and a filtered mask or respirator face mask when you handle the powder in the shaker. I hope this helps! I'm not a medical expert but I have been researching your question as well. Good day!

To avoid damaging the logic board, avoid manual flushing with the cartridge removed. This happens when the printhead is removed from the cartridge, and it is manually flushed, and the flex cable connector accidentally gets wet, It is shorted. when the printhead is shorted, the logic board will be damaged. So avoid this method if you don't know what you are doing. When you know that the connector is wet, in this case, do not install the printhead. You need to make sure that it is completely dry before you install the printhead in the cartridge. Hope it helps you all.
