  Thank you for your response. As luck would have it, I just sold my P6000 and held on to the dinosaurs ( 9900, 9600, 3800, 3880, 4800, 2200). I guess that I was hoping that I could get the simplest R2200 model to work with EKPrint, and then work up to one of the larger models. When it started printing the white separately from the color, I just thought it was my error in not knowing which boxes needed checking on EK Print. Your comments have always been helpful and appreciated.

  Pretty much all that needs done is what you said. I'd recommend single pass printing.

  By ajt · Posted June 2
  
  I have an OpenDTG P600 printer that I would like to use for DTF. Is this possible? Other than completely flushing the system for the new ink would there be any other setup outside of adjusting the flatbed height and updating the RIP software?
