The quality of the artwork can make a huge difference in your print quality. Here are a few pieces of art you can test print.

This code is a full version intended for use with our V2 AIO and shield boards. Can also be used with a standard Arduino Uno. Code has settings for the Epson 1430 model Requirements: encoder and bounce2 library in Arduino IDE 5v to 3v step down on the PE and ASF signals to protect the Epson 30 tooth pulley needed

Arduino IDE for uploading / editing OpenDTG code. Also, installs drivers so you can use the OpenDTG desktop app. After installation you need to add libraries if you plan on uploading the OpenDTG code to an Arduino or AIO conroller:

Standard Epson P600 printer driver. You want this driver only package not the one that has printer utilities.

The cutsize.ini adds a full size platen to the options.

Tribal Armor has been kind enough to share his files for the platen lift system here: http://opendtg.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=824&sid=b09328e937359caedda61521d9ccd1d0 30 tooth pulley for stepper motors. Solid so you can drive whatever sized bore you need. Designed and contributed by: reptilesink

This snippet of code is a good starting point for implementing a break beam height adjust or stop

Here are the files that UHIM donated from the AIO challenge. I haven't had the time to mess with it so I'm uploading and hoping members here can test and collaborate on it. This will allow using photoshop and the gutenprint plugin as RIP software for printing light and dark garments on a Windows PC Please discuss this topic: https://www.opendtg.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1060 Might be a little harder to learn than EK but it is the only option for Free RIP Software I HAVE NOT TESTED THESE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

This .dxf CAD file has all of the plates used in building the OpenDTG basic base kit and platen. Requires metal bending to use as is. The center rail for this design is the 1000mm C-Beam from OpenBuildspartstore.com We use aluminum but plastic or wood may work.

This free program allows you to see error codes, do ink charges, head cleans and reset waste counters. The only thing they charge for is the waste counter resets. This tool is a must have for running a DIY DTG printer.

This download is for EK Print Studio RIP Software. It requires a paid license to activate. That can be purchased from: support@eukondigital.com

This code is for creating an automatic pretreat machine like the OpenDTG Mongoose. Moves a motor and turns a solenoid on / off based on speed and length 10k potentiometers.

This code is for controlling motors to raise and lower the printer. It is setup for 2 TB6600 motors, up and down buttons.
