After you do your maintenance, try running 1 head clean or printing a purge sheet. This should get ink flowing to the head; so your initial print doesn't fade, at the top. I'll be following your DTF Journey.

The main reason this printer doesn’t really clog is because the dampers have are basically a big hole like .75 inches tall by like .30-.50 inches wide. Basically the same as the XP-15000 but without the sponges. Btw you can run the ink tanks outside, it takes a little bit of time to take the printer apart but after you can run the tanks outside with tubing extensions and then you can shake them easier.

Cool, I didn't know. You should tell the people on facebook, they still don't believe it doesn't clog easy haha. I'll look into that, right now I have the printer on a foldable table that rocks, its seems to be working for shaking the inks.

So i bought this printer for making T-shirts. But didn’t realize there were different methods for printing and needed certain inks for each one. First I thought printable vinyl is what I had to use. Then last week I learn about sublimation. And tonight I’m learning about the dtf method. Which apparently works on all fabrics?? Unfortunately when I did my startup on my on my printer I filled it with the dye ink it came with. Do you think using the syringe like that would be effective enough to clean out the original ink so I can fill the tanks up with dtf ink? What would you recommend?
