In this video, I set up my new Procolored L1800 DTF Printer with Film Roller. I tried to go step by step so that even a person new to setting up DTF printers can successfully get their new printer up and running.

Just recieved this printer too. There is quite a bit of waste ink if yo don't use it much ,but hopefully I will be making more prints in future,since I have just started. I had to wait a whole month for the printer but it was the fault of dhl and customs, and the procolored team were very nice with me to help me out. Have done a few prints and they are wonderful

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I'm glad you like your printer also! That must have been frustrating waiting for the printer to be delivered.

[@MlandEmbroidery]

@@MakingwithMarilyn very. I was ready to reorder then they found it again in the warehouse the next morning

HI Marilyn Congrats on your new DTF printer

Thank you, Rosetta!

Marilyn, can you do a video on how to manage the print area of the film? I got the L1800 and, when I do the nozzle check, it prints before the carriage is even over the film. I printed one shirt and, when I had the image left-justified on the machine, it printed off the film. When I centered the image on the screen, there was a good bit of wasted film. I want to be able to make the most of the film that I have, but can't figure out how to manipulate the print area.

Congrats I would like to see you do your maintenance. I’ve had mine for over a year and just unpacked it but not connected to print yet

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I'm so glad you have unpacked it! When I get familiar with the weekly maintenance, I will definitely do a video. Thanks so much for watching.

[@dejacks6981]

@@MakingwithMarilyn you’re welcome and thank you

[@carolhewett-fo8lq]

Do they not have customers service

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@carolhewett-fo8lq yes, they sure do

[@DankUrbanBoss]

Do you have a video on how to maintain the unit like cleaning as well as getting all the ink off the inside?

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Not yet, but I plan to as I have this machine longer.

[@DankUrbanBoss]

@@MakingwithMarilyn wonderful can’t wait. I have one as well and I wipe it down often but I just feel like I might be missing some steps.

[@carolhewett-fo8lq]

I have saved enough to get one but am so afraid of the maintenance

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

I understand that concern. You might want to opt for purchasing transfers until you decide you are ready, or you may decide you don't need one. The L805 that I got first requires more maintenance than this machine. The L805 required more pulling of ink through the dampers once in a while. With this one, I have used the cleaning button on the front on days that I don't print, though I have missed days here and there, and so far I have had no issues. Eventually I will likely have to do something to hep it along, but it's been smooth sailing so far. I do like the convenience of being able to print at home.

[@carolhewett-fo8lq]

@@MakingwithMarilyn where would you advise to get transfer from.

[@RonaldoCR7suiy]

Idk why I my cartridges sucked two yellows instead of two white 😢

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Either you have 2 ink lines/tubes going into the yellow ink tank, or you accidentally put yellow ink into one of the white ink tanks. Have you already figured out the problem? I'm just curious what happened and I'm sorry because it has to be terribly frustrating.

Hi Marilyn , the printer is compatible with android Mac,thank you

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

@@pablopacheco-t5p the printer is compatible with a PC. I cannot run it from my Mac.
