Epson ET-8550/8550 Acrorip 10.5.2 Setup & Settings for DTF (Direct-to-film) Printing

[@csq530]

Hey HANGRY!!! Hope you are doing good! I wanted to ask. HOW CONSTANT DO YOU NEED TO USE THE PRINTER SO IT DOESNT CLOG? Or regularly for a person that doesnt have to many jobs running everyday!

[@ivanvelascosr]

Thank you for the time you dedicated to creating this tutorial. You did an outstanding job that helped me get started it the software.

[@HangryMuscle]

You're very welcome!

[@reginag7701]

The best video! Thank you so much. I am very very new to AcroRip, and this answered my outstanding questions. thanks again!

[@HangryMuscle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TamamsCOOKING]

thanks so much for all the information and how you break it down, Very helpful information for beginners such as myself

[@miguelvasquez2187]

Hey bro I set my settings like yours and my printer isn’t printing white under. I didn’t have this issue about a month ago and I started up again today and it’s printing everything except white. Thank you your videos have helped me out a lot.

[@aarronconleche8468]

[@ainsliechristensen3030]

Hey mine is doing the same, were you able to fix this? I desperately need help. Thank you in advance

@@HangryMuscle I’m sorry I don’t understand. This is the video I watched when I converted the eco tank. However I can’t find where it states about my white not working

[@mwencheal]

@HangryMuscle. This is a great resource. My printer has not been able to print while using the AcroRip software. Do you have any recommendations or can you help us fix it?

[@JanieHarris]

Found your channel and this video on setting up AcroRip - than you so much for a thorough explanation on setting up this software. Once a graphic is loaded into the template, how do I add text? I can't find any reference or information in the AcroRip User Manual, or anywhere on-line.

Hello... I have an L18050 does this ACRORIP 10.5 work for this printer? I'm in Brazil and I have questions

[@oiwjefiojwweg]

very very very gooooood. thumbs up from korea. u saved my time a lot.

[@clarkecunningham5259]

Thanks, we got our converted 8550 up and running using Acrorip 10.7 . Our ink settings are as you show in this video, but we are having a problem with black printing gray instead of black. Colors look outstanding and the white underlayer looks good to me. Only black looks like it's faded to gray. Could it be that white at 50% is too high, or black is too low at 40%? Thanks again!

[@HangryMuscle]

Dont copy and paste the settings, use thos video to understand the setting functions. The white ink behind black is making it lighter, need to adjust your settings.

[@clarkecunningham5259]

So happy to find this tutorial! However, I have yet to find a ET-8550 tutorial that mentions print drivers. Do you still install the Epson drivers or does Acrorip act in place of the Epson drivers? Thanks!

[@HangryMuscle]

You'll need to install the Epson print drivers.

[@clarkecunningham5259]

Thanks, I thought so.@@HangryMuscle

[@DENNCUSTOM1]

is the 8550 still worth buying ? with maintenance and with dtf does any error codes happen?

[@HangryMuscle]

Yes and yes its definitely possible to get an error code if you are just learning to use a printer for DTF.

[@kerifinn8420]

Hey! Just got an 8550 and converted it (Thank you!) The problem i am having is extremely runny ink. It prints fine then toweds the end of the print job, the ink mixes together. We thought it might be the film being on the wrong side, but nope. Please help!!!!

[@ToniTaylor5418]

Hi, I am using the XP-15000 printer are these settings still good for that printer as well? and also can you show me how the ink is in your printer so I can get a better idea of how to tell the computer where my ink is.

[@HangryMuscle]

Rewatch the video. I explained what each setting does and how to set your ink channels.

[@BarbaraJackson9410]

Is there a reason why my printer is printing only in the center of the print and black. I set my settings. According to the video

[@TaraHemmerly]

Hello, I followed this about 3x. I am using a converted 8500, I have gotten the transfer to print the color layer, but how do you get the white layer to print? I set it up exactly as you showed, with the print color first then the white + color. Thank you!

[@tonyjenkins71]

I would like to know also. If you don’t mind.

[@geleahlolz]

Have you guys solved the whites yet? I'm having the same issue with the whites printing.

[@VERONICA-og8vl]

Ty for this video. My question is different topic. Can you tell me what the difference between premium and ultra strength power is? I don’t know what to get. Ty again

[@HangryMuscle]

Are you referring to the powder?

[@phillippin6699]

Hi bro, how are you keeping? I'm back again, lol.. I am having some issues with my DTF printer and thought it best to ask some questions. Have you had an experience where your printer will print on paper but not on your transfer sheet? The print head moves back and forth on the sheet like it does exactly when printing without bringing out ink. But when you try with paper, everything comes out correctly. On two occasions, it printed a part of my design vertically, not the complete design and then went back to printing blanks. I have been using the same DTF sheet and this issue started recently.

[@TechyRodsWire]

Hi Can I use this for regular sublimation? I just need a better software to actually have space to print bigger I have cricuit and silhouette.

[@tristanw1982]

Hey man, I saw that you put your white setting at 70%. Do you know why when I set my white at over 35% my white starts to leak along the page an smear the coloured print underneath. I want to try to increase to get colours to pop out but I couldn't. Any advice would be appreciated man. Thanks.

Im not sure, I've done both

[@AFTRMIND_]

@HangryMuscle I followed this exactly. The only difference is I am running AcroRip11. It seems the image that prints depends on how either the software or the printer is feeling. I've attempted 3 different prints of the same image. First print was about a 1" vertical strip of the image, 2nd print was about a 5" vertical strip, and 3rd print was about a 3" strip. It's not printing the entire image, any idea what I am doing wrong?

@GM-ri7mn sure i would but i do not have v11

[@Gucci_Manos]

Why do you have to be on USB? is it okay to be over wireless?

[@HangryMuscle]

The connection is more stable and less issues. The files for DTF are huge, transferring the data to the printer will take longer through wifi, especially if the connection isn't stable or slows down.

[@Gucci_Manos]

Not sure the exact reason but uninstall & delete the Acrorip file folders, then restart your pc.
