I used to use an Epson ET-2550 kzbin.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.

Great video. Love how you go into detail. You stated at the beginning you were going to do the image without the white and watching the shirt ending I appreciate you doing that so we could see what happens when you do not do the white background.

Thank you for clearing things up for me after 49 different other videos that I watched about sublimating on a dark shirt.Thank you for let me know about the white backing that I need.

Good evening, I would like some advice because I am currently launching my business and doing tests. I tried your DTF hack technique. To tell you, I have an SG500 printer with Sublijet ink. Being French, I was unable to have access to a certain brand of DTF paper, so I have the following paper: the TRILINIK DTF transfer film brand. I did all the steps in your video but at the printing stage, my design had darker places like dots and when I applied the powder it was still visible. Do you know why the ink has dots? Is it the ink, is it the programming that needs to be changed in terms of printing? I'm a little lost and would like some help to get my design perfect Thanks :)
