My question is, how does the printer know that the second black is not black but white and how does it know that grey isn't grey but white? What settings do you use? How do you achieve that. Why do you have to remove the rollers? i am not sure i heard that explanation.

Wouldn't anything with grey turn it white instead or would it mix the black & white together to get a grey effect? Can you use get ink instead of white? Also, how would you switch the colors in the image to achieve the right effects?
@HangryMuscle
@HangryMuscle 2 жыл бұрын
Hi, I'm not sure I understand your question. The printer uses CMYK to make the colors and the white ink is to print white layer behind the image so that when it goes on to a dark material the colors stay vibrant. The white layer also gives the print its durability. You can use an ICC profile, or photo editing software.

Thanks bud, it all comes down to the individual and how you maintain the printer, alot of people are just getting into DTF and it's easy to mess up your printer if you don't know what you're doing. I've use other converted DTF The Et-8550 is my favorite printer, i get the best colors and I have the most experience with it. Any issue that comes up I can usually clear it right away.

No not yet. Right now there's no need for a waste tank. I didn't have to do constant printhead cleans so the box lasted over a month. Also there's no chip resetter so you have to replace the box or the chip on the maintenance box. Daily/weekly I was just refilling ink, I just started shaking the inks. Other than that no other daily or weekly maintenance was required. I've pretty much only had to use the printhead clean function and I don't use it daily only if lines start to mess up.

Love this channel! Question, when you put in the DTF ink and did a print test, did you have to configure anything or get Acrorip? My black, blue and yellow are showing but the magenta and white aren’t? Thanks
