Great video. Your video making skills have improved greatly also. 🎉

[@HangryMuscle]

No I didn’t

[@spincitycottoncandyconcess1828]

Speaking of the print head did you ever have to adjust the height to stop getting streaks

[@camerinabanda1398]

will this work for a converted ecosolvent epson 8550?? my cyan is basically nonexistent and the reservoir is full

[@HangryMuscle]

Yes I believe so

[@SignaturecreationsLLC]

Followed this method and worked like a charm. All of a sudden in the middle of printing the white disappeared again. What do you suggest?

[@HangryMuscle]

Sounds like you have DTF ink residue built up in your printer system, the little dried ink pieces are getting stuck and causing clogs. I recommend using a stronger DTF cleaner that is made to break down and dissolve dried DTF ink residue. aaprintsupplyco.com/products/color-max-cleaning-solution-1kg?ref=hangrymuscle

Did you ever find out?

[@brendanpederson5793]

How do you do a print head check after converting it?

[@HangryMuscle]

In the maintenance menu on actual printer.

[@las1368]

Hangry Muscle, I have been doing everything you said in this video and I still have half of the nozzle check boxes. bottom lines are good to mid lines, then the top lines are missing. Is my print head shot? Should I take out the print head and soak just the head (less than 2/16th of an inch in extreme cleaning solution) for a few hours, then put it back in and try this method again?

How we avoid the color migration on wet cap? White colors mixing with others

[@Fem2Luv]

[@HangryMuscle]

[@thaoddones6422]

I've done this quite a few time but only one color from my printer isn't printing

[@HangryMuscle]

For colors that will not return. I use this kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3ublaSYgKqnjtU

[@bugginfelix]

I let my printer set for 3weeks and my whites clogged my entire cis lines I’m waiting on replacements to show up, I can’t even use a syringe to blow out the white, the white was also caked under the ink carts in the print head, huge mess. I’m hoping I can bring it back to life.

[@mikkiburton9423]

Omg!!! Please let me know! Mines has sat longer than that I know it’s messed up! I don’t even know where to start 😢

[@foxxybrn1]

What solution are you using? Love the video

[@HangryMuscle]

I use ammonia for day to day cleaning and I use this DTF solution for hard to remove clogs. aaprintsupplyco.com/products/color-max-cleaning-solution-1kg?ref=hangrymuscle

[@brendanpederson5793]

Mine is printing like its inverted.

[@HangryMuscle]

Turn off mirroring

[@otakuelo]

head go to left side and stopping

[@HangryMuscle]

Check for something in the printer or out place that is preventing the printhead from moving smoothly.
