Everything You Need To Know about the Epson F1070

[@LoneBagels]

Can I leave the printer plugged in and go on a month long vacation?

Please also let us know the cost for a Replacement Print Head and Capping Station.

[@MelcoEmbroidery]

I am unsure of the replacement parts as the printer has yet to be released. Once we start seeing some inventory, I think we will get a better understanding of replacement part cost.

I bought the Epson F2270 from Swing design. Parts and maintenance items are usually on backorder. I really am regretting buying this high cost printer $16k. Now I'm getting Error 01138 "fatal error" I don't know what that means and there in no info on it. Can anyone help?

If I am going on vacation for 2 weeks, and the printer is not being used. What is going to prevent the white inks from clogging in the Tubes, Print Head and Capping Station?

[@MelcoEmbroidery]

Epson ink is less likely to clog than other brands. The printer is designed to be turned off for extended periods of time. If you are gone for 2 weeks you could consider two options. Have someone come in and turn the printer on, let it cycle, then turn it off. I would do that once per week. Or you could replace the white ink and replace with cleaning cartridges. I think that's a little overkill however. Honestly though, you could probably just leave it off. I left the 2100 off for a month last a few years back and it was fine.

What about hoodies

[@MelcoEmbroidery]

You can do either pretreat or DTFilm. Same concept just add a bit more pretreat and lower your platen a bit.

[@starsoicy108]

Well the 800ml work with the f1070?

[@MelcoEmbroidery]

Unfortunately not

[@thehappyazshop520]

I can't even get the 800ML for the Epson 2270. Since Epson hasn't "made enough" because my $16k machine is "fairly new" I can't afford to have this problem. My prints currently aren't working out because my ML is low. I am a small business and I can't afford that. I am asking friends who have converted printers to make my prints because Epson has maintenance items out of stock.

[@craigcreationz]

Only one white ink Channel? Please confirm. Because That is a Major Issue. I been in this business since the first DTG Printer was made.

[@MelcoEmbroidery]

Hello, that is correct. 1 dedicated channel that prints two nozzle patterns.

Do you have to shake white inks?

[@MelcoEmbroidery]

When you turn it on, otherwise no. And it's more of an agitation, you don't have to "Shake it like a polaroid picture". I don't even pull the cartridges out, I just shift them "back back and fourth fourth" a few times.
