I just purchased the R2000 from Procolored, we go out of town frequently for events for about 3 days at a time. I have no issue with doing the maitanence but I need to know where to purchase the Vacation Tubes/Cartridges. Been searching online and am having a hard time finding it. Also, I am a Mac user and have a old PC that is ready for set up for Rip software. In my case doing custom work I work on illustrator on the Mac, save to DropBox and open the image on the PC from Dropbox. So you can edit your image in Illustrator to remove colors then load to the Rips software, hope that helps. This video is great, thank you!!! We are looking to the transition, we print a couple shirts a month and feel this will be a great improvement on finances and production.

You need heat. Whether that’s a cure oven that you buy from them or an oven in your kitchen is up to you. You could probably get away with a countertop toaster oven. It does have a smell so make sure there’s plenty of ventilation

Hi I just ran into your video and I love it I still haven't made up my mind but I do think your video helped me a lot, one question what oven do you use if any?

[@HaiTech]

i use the oven that procolored has. it looks like they have a newer model that's more efficient. i still have the older model. sometimes they have promo bundles where it's a packaged deal with printer, supplies and the oven. i also have a discount code if you decide to buy something from procolored. the code is in the description. i'm glad the video was helpful!

[@vanro3900]

One of the most informative videos for DTF, it makes me want to buy one lol. Question, I’ve heard the fumes from DTF can be pretty toxic overtime, is there an air filter system for the oven?

[@HaiTech]

i highly recommend getting an oven filter or do the adhesive baking part outdoors or in a large ventilated workshop. i would get a filter and be sure the room is ventilated as well. if you do it in your garage just open the garage door.

[@AllThingswashington]

[@marktamischneider]

I just watched your video and thought it was excellent. You mentioned that you wished the rip software could remove specific colors. Cadlink DTF software has that feature. But that would cost another $400.

[@HaiTech]

yes you're right. i'm fine with not ripping and save $400 lol. the best part is that this software keeps on updating and i'm sure it will be a feature that comes out soon enough. Procolored listens to feedback. The things i talked about in this video, they have already fixed! circulating white ink, and film feeder unraveling...the new upgraded printers have this feature. i hope this is an upgrade that can be installed even for older models.

lots of potential with DTF printing. I wish this was around years ago! i have done screen printing, vinyl, DTG. DTF has it's con's too but overall i think it's less hassle than the others and much more cost effective for being able to print FULL color.

[@Cashline3d]

Best video I have seen so far. Planning to make t shirts for my daughter, not everyday use. Should I get dtf or white toner. Thank you

[@HaiTech]

i've never used a white toner but i have seen a few videos about it. i would recommend doing your research on both, compare prices, maintenance, cost of consumables, features. if you're just doing this for family shirts and for fun i wouldn't get either of these printing methods. I would just get heat transfer paper.

[@jartist4u]

Great video! You did not mention setting the powder in an oven or under the heat press (unless I missed it). Did you have to go through the process of setting the powder with the oven?

[@HaiTech]

Hi, yeah i left out some of the printing process itself and wanted to talk about the printer, maintenance. i do have a video that talks about the printing process here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aau9mWiJaJypr68. we do add the adhesive powder to the print and then bake it in an oven made for DTF prints. the temperature is set to 110-120 Celsius for about 3 minutes

[@jartist4u]

Thank you... I will check that video out!

[@brodyschmidt9148]

[@mariacanovaca9300]

I like your video... do you have information on how to get rid of the white outline on a print from the white base?

[@HaiTech]

Can you explain more on what that means? You want to print without the white under base?

[@Maternal_Marvels]

Thank you for this video, its very informative. Before I buy my DTf printer, since I have no room for ths printer inside my house, woud it be ok to have it in my garage? Also, do you have to apply the white powder right after its done printing?

[@HaiTech]

I think the garage could be okay if it is climate controlled. It really depends on your area. If it's too hot or humid it may not be ideal for the print head or ink. right after you print the image it is recommended that you add the powder and then bake it. You don't have to do it immediately after the print but i would do it within 5-10 mins that way it doesn't get smeared, dust, lint on it. once you add the powder and bake it, you can store it if needed.

[@wendyvalerie6624]

I had to subscribe to your channel. The explanations are cool, calm and collective. I guess you have to have space and technicite to use it. Is it specifically for dark colors? What's the difference between sublimation and this technique using the powder ? Thank you very much once again.

[@HaiTech]

thanks for being here! it can take up space if you're doing it from home. i would recommend doing it in a climate controlled garage if possible. or you can do the printing part in the house and the baking and pressing part in the garage as there is an odor during the baking of the adhesive powder. sublimation excels with white shirts only. any color shirt and dark color shirts is a big no no with sublimation. sublimation basically turns the liquid into a gas and embeds your image onto the shirt/mug/cup/phone case. because the image is embeded into the fabrics of a shirt, it feels like it's part of the shirt. in most cases you won't even be able to tell that anything is on the shirt. this method called direct to film puts the image on the shirt. it has a very soft feel to it but you can tell there's an image on the shirt. benefit is that you can print on ANY color shirt including black and red shirts. hope you didn't fall asleep reading.

Hi great video! When you showed the print times, it seems to be a very slow printer. Has the printer software been updated since you filmed this? Anything to make the printing faster? 16 minutes+ seems like a very long time for an 11x17 inch print and you still have to cure it after.

for faster prints you may want the PRO model which has 2 print heads

[@handmadechiccrafts3463]

I just watched your video. Thank you!! It is excellent. I was wondering if you know how to fix the paper and ink red lights when flashing? I am having that issue right now

[@HaiTech]

anytime the red lights blink there doesn't seem to be a fix for it except to turn the printer off completely (front power button and rear power button turn OFF). then turn it back on. for me that fixes the red blinking lights EVERY time.

[@handmadechiccrafts3463]

@@HaiTech Thank you. That’s what I did right after it happened, but it didn’t fix it

[@HaiTech]

if the paper light is flashing, check to see if any film is stuck or jam. remove or correct it, then turn printer off/on. now as for the ink blinking. is it low on ink or did something happen during printing which is causing it the ink light to blink red?

[@HaiTech]

i only use mac OS. when i got the printer I went out and bought a cheap PC laptop for $120 and it worked fine lol. The PC was a little slow at times (not expecting much for $120 PC). if you're doing this for hobby and fun then the cheap PC laptops will work perfectly fine. if you're doing this to start a print shop or a side hustle business then i would recommend getting a PC that's faster than the budget $100 laptops.

Hi, I have been watching your videos. Thank you for being so good at explaining everything! I have a question about the powder. Do you have a suggestion on which powder will be best to use? Lately, I have been having difficulty with the transfers not wanting to transfer to the shirts so I’m assuming it is the powder. Any help will be greatly appreciate it.

[@HaiTech]

when you do a nozzle check are there any missing lines? is the white ink printing fine and not translucency? if you are having trouble with white ink it could affect the print staying on your shirt. are you using powder from procolored or 3rd party? are you using a heat press? how are you curing the powder? with a DTF oven or some other method? when you say you're having difficulty with the transfer transferring to the shirt, do you mean the print is not staying on the shirt after washing? or staying on the shirt immediately after you press it?

[@handmadechiccrafts3463]

@@HaiTech Thank you so much for replying. Yes, the transfer is not sticking to the shirt after pressing it for the recommended time. Specially if it’s a thin lines Design like a logo or stuff like that. It is supposed to be cold peel, but after waiting for even 20 minutes after. Parts of it will lift along with the film and not staying on the shirt. I have even repressed the transfers twice or three times. However, can the issue be the adhesive powder? If so, which powder do you use or recommend? *I currently do not have an issue with printing white ink or any other color. *I do use a heat press *I do use a PROCOLORED oven and DTF printer *I do not use PROCOLORED ink nor adhesive powder.

[@HaiTech]

@@handmadechiccrafts3463 i do not think it's the powder as many third party powders and film work similarly. I think it's the ink that you are using. Many DTF manufacturers (including Procolored) will allow for you to use third party consumables (film, powder, cleaning supplies) EXCEPT for the Ink. If third party ink is used it will void the machine's warranty. The ink is specially formulated to maintain vibrance, color, adhesion. I have printed butterfly designs on a shirt with extremely thin lines (butterfly antennae) and after dozens of washes the antennae lines on the butterfly is still on the shirt. no fades, cracks, peels. similarly if you buy a regular printer like canon or epson they allow for you to buy whatever brand paper, but many have chips on their ink cartridges because they want you to use their ink only (for best results). i hope that helps

Can you explain the white ink setup on the software. It’s not printing white on the back of the colored print or print white unless it’s the full page.

[@HaiTech]

here's a quick run down on how to use it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3bVZJmPe66apLc not the best video but it helps. at the 50 second mark you'll see the CMYK bar on the right, and below it a W1. Press the + (Plus) icon so that BOTH white nozzles are being used. also at the 50 second mark in the video you see where it says NONE (towards the top right). it's a drop down menu, make sure its printing WHITE as an under base. this should fix your problem.

[@haroldgroves5890]

Hi there nice video i really like how detailed you are with the instructions. However I do have another issue , is there a setting in the software that’s making both sides of my dtf print white. I have the same printer and the same software.

[@HaiTech]

both sides of your printer print white? can you explain in more detail on this problem?

[@haroldgroves5890]

@@HaiTech hi , the issue was with the dtf paper being white on both sides when finished printing , and when pressing on black shirts only the white is transferring.

[@HaiTech]

@@haroldgroves5890 i'm not sure. maybe you can upload a video on youtube to show your problem. i would also get in touch with PROCOLORED support team.

You were right I did have to buy the license.. I had just set it up and had windows on my Mac but it must have been a temporary trial not sure what it was because I just followed instructions on Apple.. I had to reconfigure my driver settings on printer and when I did I lost my windows capabilities.. and thought he was right!! lol…. everything was still there with windows.. I just couldn’t rip it. I found a legit windows key for $20 bucks but now run/print successfully on my Mac. 😁 Thanks for such helpful tutorials!

[@HaiTech]

running windows for $20 on mac is so much better than paying $300 for a laptop. Have you tried running PRO RIP and the DTF printer using this bootcamp windows method on your mac? everything printed fine with no hiccups?

[@jestcy4205]

@@HaiTech 4/sure is!!!.. yes ,I have.. Everything is installed and I did my first prints today. I’ve been working on this thing for what feels like for ever . Lol… Between getting bootcamp/Windows on Mac.. and then setting up the printer alone , doing the inks and all the other things needed for the Procolored printer it’s taken me some time.. but it’s finally all working perfectly. Prints are beautiful. I’m so glad it all worked or I probably would have thrown it off my desk at this point lol 🤪

[@jestcy4205]

@@HaiTech and no hiccups at all. It’s just like your using a windows p/c only on a Mac. I didn’t have the space in my studio or the $ to spend on another computer after the printer so it’s a great alternative. I just don’t suggest either (getting it on the Mac and/or the printer if they’re not willing to do some work to do it because it does take time … but if you have the determination it’s easy to do just very, very time consuming.

[@HaiTech]

great feedback. yes i know the feeling of wanting to throw it off the desk. which model printer did you buy?

[@jestcy4205]

@@HaiTech …lol … the L805.. I like it so far…. One thing I did notice was the L805 has a white ink circulator on it (button you push to do it,) .. and I saw yours didn’t (in your video.) I was surprised because of the price difference on the 2.. (with mine being a cheaper model and having it.. .. Not sure why that is.. maybe an after thought?.. (any thoughts ?…. And I really appreciated your videos on the white ink clogging … I’ve been worried about that .. even with the white ink circulation some seemed to have problems if let sit for certain amount of time. I truly appreciate the time and effort your taking on these to save us the headache of it.. trials and errors take time and most times end up turning into even bigger problems. Messing something up along the way. Truly appreciate such well explained videos and the time you take out to do them. I can only imagine how much work goes into all of that.. PLUS having to learn all the softwares , printers , to do it etc.. I know it’s alot.

[@RippinToons]

Great video dude! Question regarding the saving ink thing, say you’re printing on a white shirt, and it’s pointless to use white ink on it, can’t you remove the whites in photoshop to make them transparent before you upload it into the procolored software?

[@HaiTech]

Yes you can! Hopefully in a future update the rip software can do that without having to use photoshop.

[@CornyFlakes100]

would you say that using rubbing alcohol is better to leave inthe print heads with the clean dampers than their solution that procolored promotes? What is youre preference when you leave youre printer unused for a long period of time?Thank you in advance.

[@HaiTech]

i would use print head solution. you could buy theirs or you can buy aftermarket on amazon. i wouldn't use 100% rubbing alcohol though as it could be too concentrated.

[@audreygaskings2367]

Gret Video, I just purchased this DTF, but the problem will be I will probably only use 1x per week due to my full time job, any recommendation if I do not use t daily? thank you

[@HaiTech]

no problem. just run a print head cleaning every day and try to print something every 2-3 days. print anything just to get the ink flowing. doesn't have to be anything huge. even something 3x5. or print what you think you may need in the future.

[@freshMila]

Nice ! What model printer you got ? I’m looking to get one any recommendations pls .. I’m in a budget lol

[@HaiTech]

i have the L1800 model. are you an established printer or just trying to get into the business? or just doing it for fun?
