How to NEVER Experience Problems with DTF Printing

[@tonycordovatc]

I just upgraded to one of these. I converted an epson et8550 to dtf to pinch penny's like you said and its alot of head aches which is time consuming. Im excited about it!

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Yes it is but it’s worth it in my opinion You need to embrace the process!! Hows your journey developing?

[@tonycordovatc]

@Wholeprinting it's coming along great honestly! At first I wasn't sure about the printer as a red light kept blinking every time I would turn it on. But I found if you kill the printer than turn it back on before using it fixes that issue although I wish I knew how to permanently fix it so I wouldn't have to do that every time. Other than that it's been great! Thanks for your videos brotha!

[@leticiakennar6925]

Do I have to use only procolored ink in my procolored f13 l1800? I have some ink that I had left from another printer. Not cheap ink was good ink.

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

No you don’t need to use procolored ink !

[@jesusarellano3737]

Hello I can use the epson l805 print head on to the procolored l805 right ? It won’t affect it? It fitted perfectly and all is the same.

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Hello im not sure what you mean?

[@kspec2001]

glad i found your channel. great advice, and also another fellow Canadian :) once i finally get started ill for sure look into ordering materials from you.

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Thanks for your kind words! Happy Printing 😁🇨🇦

[@lijahh12]

Have you come across where it starts to pull the PET film but then it stops completely and once you press the manual feed it will attempt to pull through but then it stops? It’s like the print head is not aligned to where it needs to be each time before it starts to print?

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Yes that issued already happened to me, are you still experiencing issues?

[@lijahh12]

@@WHOLEPRINTINGyes! I can’t seem to get it to pull through for a test print, manual feed, or a regular print.

[@kjaxky]

Well you're not buying the best ink the best paper and all the stuff he said in the video

[@Nogard9053]

The paper seems to be feeding too much to one side and is casuing head knocks on that side. The paper seems to be bunching up under the metal lip it feeds under while printing. Do you have any insight on how to correct this? Thank you.

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

I would need to see more to better assist you can you kindly send me an email and give me as much information to what you did before you had this problem and what you have tried to do to fix it. Please be as precise as possible and include photos and videos, Thanks !!

Hi. My prints have black ink smearing on them and now the white ink is scraping off. Can you help me. Love the info you provide.

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Thanks! Sure email us - [e-mail]

[@dsignprinting7156]

We just started working with DTF and yes white is a pain the sack but cleaning periodically prevents a lot of issues. I'm curious, what cleaniinf fluid and DTF ink you use? I've noticed that some ink clogs more than others. GREAT VIDEO, Thanks for the tips 🙂 TOGETHER

[@dsignprinting7156]

I also meant to ask you about the print head. You mentioned about having a spare. I looked in the manual, guide from the manufacturer and couldn't find the print head model. Mine is L1800 :-)

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

I’ve never used one up to date. I’ve got some coming tho so I’ll be testing out soon I’ll give you feedback once I’ve tried it myself so I can give an honest review!

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

@@dsignprinting7156 yes I’ve got some extras for sale on my website! They are often out of stock so I like holding some in inventory. You can check out the website I have it for sale. There’s also lots of other companies that can also offer this model at a better price. So do you own research 🙏 But I understand that they can often be out of stock so there’s still a option to get it if ever your in a time rush! Best regards - Dom

[@ravenfwz218]

How often do you clean using the syringe???

[@smalltownbigadventures]

hey i have a dtf like your panda one and my color is off ive cleaned it already like your video shows and no i dont use it often probably had been a week or 2 :(

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

That’s the worst Print heads can clog easily that way Make sure to do your maintenance everyday to ensure longevity of equipment!

[@ravenfwz218]

​@@WHOLEPRINTINGwhat kind of maintenance? The syringe cleaning peocess ??

[@casandrastephenson-iw9um]

Hello how likely am i going to have issue with the procolored dtf printer so need a couple of spare print heads And mother board goes too with a bad printhead from what people say on the procolor facebook group Can you actually make any money or do you spend it fixing it again I thought about getting a white toner printer instead

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

Hello, I’m not sure about the white toner printer since I’ve never used one, I would suggest you calculate everything and outweigh the pros and cons and make you’re own educated decision on what’s best for you!

the tear drop button on my printer is solid red, is that because I have not added ink yet? I just started setting it up today

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

I’m not sure

[@heathermotes765]

I just came across your video and would really love some help. I bought the panda L1800 printer about a month ago and it has been working great until it just stopped working yesterday. I have been working on it for 2 days now. It will not print the white. I have cleaned the printhead, but still having issues. Do you have any suggestions?

This is the worst in vestment EVER!!!!! Paid almost 5k in April to find out the print head was refurbished and stopped working just at the end of June. I’ve been trying to get them to help with a replacement and they refuse. The warranty covers ZERO!!!!! A new print head is 2 THOUSAND dollars- your better off buying your prints than investing in this junk box! Such a joke! April and her staff will not provide any kind of warranty and you will be out of money! Such a horrible mistake and I wish I never saw videos like this encouraging their products because it’s such a financial loss! Horrible horrible experience with Pro Colored!!! Do not buy these printers! The print heads are as much as the systems and only last a few months as they used refurbished! Total waste for me and my family! :( ☹️💔

[@WHOLEPRINTING]

It’s really unfortunate that you had that experience I can relate When I got my first DTF printer everything was going bad I did not know how to use the machine properly and my print head clogged within the first week of getting the printer due to the lack of information online I did not know how to properly care for my printer It caused me many trials and tribulations and even nightmares ahaha…. I now feel like I need to educate everyone who’s interested in DTF about the pros and cons of theses printers so people can have a better ideal of what they are getting themselves into… I’m lucky to have Nice after sales support hence why I suggest buying printers with my links to have acess to that same support! I’m learning everyday and I often go on wild rides!!! After two years I almost quit MANY times but I’m happy I’m still at it!
