Where did you purchase those cartridges?

[@officialgaming80]

Was wondering i have the same 3880 printer running pigment ink do you still have to run the Matte Black ink cartridge MK or you can just fill & replace the matte black with solution like you did and not have to worry about Purchasing matte black ever again and just use photo black for everything you printe Or do you have to always have both Matt black and photo black to print as I have the option to buy 8 bottles of ink cheaper as it don't include the matte black or 9 bottles of ink that do Includes the matte black ink but its more Expensive

[@Dead-bl7to]

Love all the detail in this video.

[@Lumedia]

Unfortunately I don’t. But it’s essentially the same on all printers remove the pizza rollers. And get a refillable ink system. The two main differences with this printer are as follows. 1. It has a reusable waste tank, so get a reset module. 2. When you buy the printer make sure that it comes with the OEM cartridges. You will need the chips from them for the reusable carts.

[@Lumedia]

That’s the answer to your other comment, thank you for watching!!

[@Dead-bl7to]

No worries. Thanks for the great informational video.

Hi. I have an Epson stylus pro 7880. I want to convert it to dtf. So I understand you have 4 white cartriges and the other 4 regular color. This is how you fill the cartridges with dtf ink right?

[@christinachambers3366]

great video. I went on vacation for two weeks and Ican't get my magenta or cyan to print. what else can I do?

[@bereal1251]

I just picked one of these 3880 without original ink cart where can I find chips so I can use refills carts?

[@sunrealclothing]

[@juanaguilarorozco4424]

Brother i just purchased a 3880 myself and i was wondering after taking the cover off how did you manage to make the front panel stay erect and stable much thanks in advance

[@thomasjager3494]

I have an Epson 3800. I want to convert it to DTF Transfer. I've already retrofitted the ink tanks. Now the printer pulls the DTF foil through without printing and reports a paper error. Do I have to set or convert something in the Acrorip 10.3 program on the printer that I may have forgotten? Ask for help on what i can do. Many thanks for your help. Greetings Thomas

[@jcsoriano3766]

how are you not getting the paper load error with the direct to film, film. My printer is no seeing it. When I load regular paper, it's fine again. Please help. What your setting and properties. Love from New York.

[@Lumedia]

Hey brother just saw this. Clean the feeding roller with some alcohol. That’s what helped me!

[@christinezvosec1217]

I have a 3880 with refillable ink cartridges, the printer is used. How do I flush the ink out of the refillable cartridges to convert to dtf?

[@inklabdesigns]

Have you had any issues with any of your printers up until now? Basically 3 of my printers clogs every 10ish prints. I run a head clean and then the nozzle check looks good. Start printing again and then around 10 prints later, clog again. Tried changing cartridges and ink but it continues to happen. Very frustrated.

[@WilsonGarcia00]

Hello friend, First of all I want to thank you for your teachings, blessings for you and beautiful family. My friend the 3800 is really an excellent machine to convert to DTF? I ask you it because I live in Germany and I have the opportunity to buy a fully functional one for 190 euros and I would like to know if I should take this step!! Greetings and thanks for everything, Wilson

[@davidalvarez4563]

That’s odd. Make sure that you select the 3880A selection and it should show you the correct orientation. I can help you quicker if you join the discord!

Best thing I can suggest is soaking it in head cleaning solution over night and being patient. I have delaminated a few print heads by being inpatient lol.

You're creating bubbles when you shake it like that. You're suppose to rock the white ones not shake.
