Yes you do

[@lindahicks6478]

Do I have to have the cadlink to operate the et 8500? I just got the printer and I have the ink, film, and powder.. I do have a couple different apps for designing. With that being said do I still need the cadlink? And also what happens if I don't have the disposal tank? Do you have a video on how to install it and what I need to do so??

[@urosaa]

@@bigboiprints5726 Well sir, excuse me if I am confusing you with these few precise questions, well I managed to look at the video in the part where you are printing and I could see that the impression was very good but somewhere it was scratched, I do not know if it was at the time of manipulation The paper, but what it explains is that in the l805 model some people on you tube remove something that they say pizza wheel, so that it is not marked on the paper when it is printing, usually you always leave 2 in the ends so that the paper does not lift. my question is you have not had to manipulate any physical part to be able to print.

After trying all the trial versions I want to purchase Cadlink full version but my ink is printing black on the back side instead of white. I have reached out to cadlink and no one has been able to help me yet. The ink setting I have works with acrorip and ekprint but not cadlink. Is there a way to change ink order or am i just going to have to purchase one of the other software programs?

Hey there ! I have converted a 8500 to DTF for practice before a bigger option and out of the gate I cannot make prints. My cadlink trial only offers a 8550 and for whatever reason, the prints open as a "save as" option instead of actually trying to print. I can't find any help on how to setup the Cadlink originally and make prints. Do I need a different trial? I found you to make an ink order from and then saw that you had tutorials ! Please help.
