DTF conversion Epson L18050 / ET-18100, ready to print

[@ionelmacavei5273]

Hello! I'm glad that there are still people who share their knowledge with others. I just got an Epson L18050 for dtf too! on KZbin there are many videos of such printers that have replaced the ink and waste containers. I hope I'm not bothering with my questions, I'm new to this and it costs a hell of a lot to modify like this. Are those changes really needed? If I leave it like that the white ink doesn't settle? From what I understand, the residues in it are deposited on the bottom of the container... Thank you!

[@bestsublimationcz]

CISS mixing/cirulation system is good or necessary for people who print a little. But if you will be printing 4-5 hours on daily basis, you don¨t need it. Waste ink container is plastic box here. So it is easy to clean. Easy access from front side of printer. This is not issue here. You just need resetter or extra chips.

Hi, do you have any means of contact? I have a doubt if you already use it!

[@magicman6010]

great video, is there a mac osx rip alternative?

[@bestsublimationcz]

As far as I know, mac users use dual-boot with some windows. There is no proper DTF RIP for mac. But please search or ask some mac DTF guru.....

Hi, the white paint is clogged and I don't know how to unclog it, do you have any ideas?

[@bestsublimationcz]

Hello, there are two reasons: the first is blocking from above and the second is blocking from below. You can pour acetone over the capping station and let it settle overnight. This is very aggressive and can help with blocking from below (smearing on the film during printing). Cleaning from above is caused by fine sedimentation of the white ink. The solution is to suck the white out of the dampers (or turn the printer upside down) and remove the dampers, clean the top of the print head, reassemble and run a powerful cleaning. It is important to avoid spilling ink on the data cables. Otherwise, the printhead and motherboard are dead in seconds...

When i removed the gears the A4 sheet started to move in the end of printimg.... How can i solve this?

[@Sipragezabava]

Hello, did I understand correctly, when what you showed in the video is done, you just need to add dtf ink and the printer is ready for dtf?

[@bestsublimationcz]

Yes, no further tuning is required. All you have to do is fill with DTF ink. For this purpose you can use original Epson ink bottles. And instead of Lc and Lm is White DTF ink. But you still need DTF RIP sw. So Digital Factory v11 or Acrorip v11.

[@Sipragezabava]

Which means I only need white dtf ink and dtf rip, thanks for your reply, you really helped me

[@ariannbncua]

@@bestsublimationcz Thank you so much for this info, I have been looking for an answer to what to replace LC and LM with. This is really helpful!

Hello, what Rip configuration do you use for this printer model? I'm using Acrip 10.5 but it doesn't print the colors and neither does the white. thank you

[@bestsublimationcz]

We are resellers of Cadlink. Cadlink v11.1 - actual version - has support for this printer. Acrip seems from v11 as well. Both SW can print in quick 720x720 dpi mode. So it is supposed to print fast.

[@davidluiz6383]

​@@bestsublimationczvc vende o Cadlink 11.1 para 1 Pc ou consigo instalar em Vários PCs, e qual valor?

[@bestsublimationcz]

@@davidluiz6383 O Digital Factory 11.1 custa o mesmo em todo o lado - 450 USD / 450 EUR. Instalação apenas num PC. E apenas uma impressora pode imprimir em simultâneo. É possível adquirir mais 3 portas de impressão. Assim, podem ser controladas até 4 impressoras em simultâneo a partir de 1 PC. Esta é a situação atual.

Hi I did the conversion and it was easy to follow yet while printing it smears the inkt half way any thoughts ?

[@bestsublimationcz]

Yes, it's not easy. You have to learn a lot of things. One of them is that it's critical to keep the film straight...

hi! my epson L18050 always getting jam under the printer head, i think overbump in the teeth guide under the print head running. do i need to cut?

[@bestsublimationcz]

Hello, sensors probably doesn´t read the DTF foil. THis is normal. Put A4 paper in front of any print and this will cause zero problem with paper and paper width problems. The topic explained here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZKnd5aVhLqnbM0si=drlnzMkvge4dDlBr

[@bignoobdrummer797]

Hi what kind of resetter software compatible for L18050? Resetter for L1800 is comptible for L18050? Appreciate much your feed back.

[@bestsublimationcz]

There is physical resetter device for waste ink unit. So you reset chip with resetter. There is no software for chip resetting.

@@bestsublimationcz thank you.. how about the settings of V11.2 acrorip. For me its working fine but when im do printing the under base white 1st printing have a little bit mix color blue but after few seconds its pure white again. And the color out put little bit dark for 40/50 color/white settings. Can give or shown V11.2 good printing settings. Is it ICC required on?

[@bestsublimationcz]

@@bignoobdrummer797 I have no expecience with Acrorip and L18050. We use Digital Factory v11. So please ask support on Acrorip website or your vendor to provide more information.

[@bluetoothtv]

Did you change the print head to XP600?

[@bestsublimationcz]

Although the videos may look super technical, we do not service or replace print heads. If these heads could be safely purchased from Epson, I would take it more seriously. Thus - in the secondary market it is a problem.

[@djredox1000]

Hi. Can i convert my same inkjet printer with just loaded the regular color? Thanks

[@bestsublimationcz]

I'm not sure about your question. If you have genuine Epson ink inside, then there is no problem. Just open all the ink fill holes, put some basket on the floor and turn the printer upside down. The ink will spill out after a while. Then you can fill it with DTF ink and do a "power cleaning" to load the DTF ink.

[@djredox1000]

[@Der_Busch]

Hello I converted the Epson L18100. Unfortunately it takes black as the background color and not white

[@TomasBestsublimation]

Hello, check in RIP SW ink color order. Usually Lc and Lm should be marked as White and CMYK is simply CMYK. Depends on type of RIP SW.

[@MihaiPredescu-pg7uj]

What can i do if i didn't use the printer for 3 days?

[@bestsublimationcz]

A weekend (2 days) off is normal. 3 days or more - on the verge of getting into some trouble. Depends...

[@uniprouniformesprofissiona7711]

Bom dia, como faço com a estação de limpeza? quando ela completar consigo esvaziar ela para continuar usando?

[@bestsublimationcz]

You need a chip resetter. Daily basic head cleaning is recommended. Maybe once or twice a month you need to do an power cleaning. In order to reset the chips, a resetter is essential equipment.

[@uniprouniformesprofissiona7711]

@@bestsublimationcz existe algum software reinicializador de chip igual nas impressoras L1800?

@@uniprouniformesprofissiona7711 There is Adjustment program for similar printer - L8180 (ET-8550). Payed. For L18050 maybe for free: www.wic.support/free-waste-ink-platen-pad-counter-reset-by-wic-utility/

[@omerguner6189]

Can I use Digital Factory v10 too?

[@bestsublimationcz]

No. There is no driver in V10. One need v11 version and then there is ET18100 driver available (EU/ASIA users with L18050 print on ET18100 driver). You can use L8180. It is the same hardware. With LCD display - so better from our point of view.

Hello, I don't understand the question. On the Acrorip website you can find from which version is support for L18050. We sell Digital Factory, which we consider to be the best RIP at this price level on the market.

Is the same for L8050?

[@bestsublimationcz]

Hello, I don't know. We haven't tested the A4 printer yet.

[@bestsublimationcz]

But the idea is clear - to make room for the DTF film as it moves out of the printer...

[@djredox1000]

i had removed all same you, but the paper not come out from printer and the printhead touch the film

[@bestsublimationcz]

It is necessary to put a piece of straight plastic, sheet metal, cardboard, or anything straight behind the output silver "shaft" so that the DTF foil can come out straight and maintain the plane. This video is just a printer modification. We do not solve the CISS system, we do not solve the editing or formatting of the DTF roll, etc. It depends on everyone how they will operate the printer. The overall description of the work can be seen in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZKnd5aVhLqnbM0 Or on others in our KZbin channel.
