CONVERT MY EPSON ECOTANK ET-15000 INTO AN ECO-SOLVENT PRINTER FOR HOME T-SHIRT BUSINESS | HOW TO

[@teresawesley4553]

Hi Patrice....just curious, why do you turn the bleed off? Doesn't the bleed help you get a more accurate cut (like prevent the white border that is sometimes left behind).

[@nordiahall417]

Hi Patrice, what items can the eco-solvent ink goes on? And what's the difference between it and sublimation printing

[@geminiburglar]

This was beautiful. I am beginning to change my mind on the DTF! My only concern is in Cricut, you can't cut bigger. I would definitely have to use my Cameo for this! Thank you so much for this video.

[@treshoniareed]

My thoughts exactly???? DTF printers are soooo expensive

[@sezcrisp]

Cricut has made print then cut up to a3 in beta mode

[@Style-Junction-t5b]

Hey how are you doing? I absolutely love your videos. I had a question? Do you need eco solvent vinyl or you can use printable heat transfer vinyl? Thank you

[@DoubleNickle]

Love your channel. As beginners in this world of print, we would still be scratching our heads looking at each other like, What have we done? Fortunately we are learning and we looking to make our projects easier. My question is, to use the Epson ET 8550 or the ET15000, do we need extra software to run either of these two printers with eco solvent or dtv after converting them?

[@gabrielleford5856]

Hi Patrice, how did the ink hold up? Did it clog after a while, and have you been able to make any prints that look close to white in color?

[@sarahsunflower0447]

I just got one and am going to convert it. I have a question: has yours lasted more than 2 years for this printer

[@LucyLu70]

Hello beautiful I’m waiting on my ink to convert mines I have everything ready. Can’t wait to to start my conversion. Next video we would like to see your collections of printers. I do believe you have them all.

[@cassandrareed5959]

Do you feel that this is more cost effective for people just starting out versus DTF?

[@Potatocustom]

Love the video and wanted to ask, is your ET15000 still working great qifh the eco solvent in it? Also would you rather do the eco solvent with the et15000 or would converting an Epson 8550 to DTF be better?

[@user-sf9mh1ms4q]

I hope you can update us on printer clogging and maintenance. I saw a KZbin video about a water based eco solvent converted ink that made her printer unusable. Then the video disappeared. Please update us IF it is really worth taking the risk.Thanks.

[@JanSnoek]

what would u prefer, eco solvent or dtf ?

[@ShadoowCity]

What printer do you recommend to start with DTF? et-15000 or et 8550? what will be better to start?

[@biancatremblay1353]

Very informative, thank you for sharing! Are you required to perform regular maintenance on your printer? Does eco-solvent separate like DTF ink?

[@lyssa534]

So I have the refillable cartridges, if I were to buy other ones and use the eco solvent ink in the new cartridges could I switch back and forth? Or would you not recommend that?

[@MsDstarr]

Would this be good for making stickers? Will they be uv and wsyerproof?

[@keydyruiz728]

Hello Patrice I found your channel today and fell in love with your videos ( those I already watched) I'd like to know if I can make stickers with this printer would I have to use a different material ?

Hi! Great video, only question is the printing on the vinyl. Is the vinyl transparent on the vinyl where you could apply to a tumbler and it won’t be seen? Is this something like clear car decals?

Hi Patrice! I just purchased my new Epson printer but haven’t received it yet. Fingers crossed it comes in the next few days! But I wanted to let you know about another video I watched from another Cricut user and she imported the same print & cut image but as the the cut file. It was a hack on how to get around the smaller print and cut. You would have to print the image outside of design space but it’s worth a try! I know I’m going to try it with just regular inkjet printable vinyl to see if I can get it to work!! :)
