Which film from dtfsuperstore. I will order some to try out..

Thats right.. I have the matte films.. and from china.. i live out side of the USA.. so dtfsuperstore with international shipping was costing me nearly double Ok let me try with the max ink settings.. Thanks again

Hi.. I started out demoing the Cadlink rip for my P400.. I am not happy with the colours and the white base settings... I am struggling to get the settings tweaked... any suggestions... Have a look at the results ... may be the ink is too much or the white base... the colours are too dark and the white base is bleeding through i am guessing.. any suggestions..

Hi.. I am currently using acrorip 10.. but not really happy .. so downloaded the trial for cadlink today. Question... what settings did you end up using for your P400 for best results. any screen shots if you can kindly share... Thank you.

Ouch.. .. I saw a couple of P400 without print heads being sold on Ebay UK for very cheap.. ... may be you need part swap from those.. Good Luck ..

Hi.. This is good information for me as well.. I am on the same platform (P400)... I cant access the video unfortunately because its says "Unable to locate content for me"... any suggestions ....

Thanks this site didn’t have the P405 but u gave it a go with P407 and that worked like a charm …thanks another question how many A3 or A4 prints do you achieve with one set of filled carts .. I am at the moment pissed about how much time Acrorip takes to send the files to the printer .. (it’s over 7 mins for a A3 print size) May be I just to Cadlink or EkPrint .. what are your experiences .. also I notice the Acrorip can only knockout blacks .. not the whites .. really disappointed ..

I bought it from an official Epson distributor in Australia .. .. they shipped it to me as it was within their international courier limit of 22kg (the printer boxed was 16.5 kg) So the cost of printer and shipping combined was just around USD900 .. .. I think the printer alone was USD690 and the rest USD210 was shipping through DHL ..

Another little secret for anybody who is interested … the Australian version of Epson P400 (called P405) is still a production model … and being sold directly from Epson. I got mine including shipping and customs to Dubai United Arab Emirates for around USD$900 (I know spent higher) So far it works with it works with chipless firmware… it works with the chipless carts .. it works with the rip software .. I didn’t try the adjustment program yet because the ones available are for P400 or P407 but nothing specifically for P405.. I am just thinking to give it a go and see if it works.. Just make sure you have the relevant step down or step up power conversions from 110V to 220V

Thanks for the reply .. I wanted to look into the roll printing on the P400.. but looks like the supported roll adapters are too small I guess … What I was looking at was the 33cm x 100m rolls from Alibaba.. and they clearly looked bigger than the available roll adaptors of the P400… what’s your solution on this .. did you buy or make one to custom.. any pictures you can share please .. thanks again ..

Thank you... and some latest update... I did exactly what you suggested for the carts for the two holes.. left the air hole open.. worked like a charm... I didn't have any chip on the carts.. but you are right when i was installing them, i noticed they were pulling on some plastic piece on the carts which was meant to hold the chips.. so i just tossed those pieces off from the carts.. and they installed perfect .. I went with YMCKWWWW setup.. Have a look at my first print .... I had purchased the Acrorip 10.2 (Because I was initially working towards the XP15000 which didn't workout).. so now stuck with Acrorip ... I am playing with the colour and white percentages .. I went with 30% colours and 30% white.. with 1440 x 1440... The feel is just about right .. but I wish I could get a little more vibrancy for the colours and more opaque whites.. What do you suggest for the percentages.. Also some things.. do you turn off your P400 DTF converted printer or leave it on (I leave my other pigment ink and sublimation printer always on) .. Also would you advise to leave the DTF inks in if you plan to print within the next 24 hours or do you always install the cleaning carts over night.. Thanks again for your help...

Just got my new Epson P400 (Learnt its the P405 Australian version)... Installed the chipless software .. thanks.. Installed the waste tank bottle... Now I have questions and need a little help... 1. The ink carts I got were without chips.. so thats fine.. however I noticed there are two holes on the top... do I have to leave either of them open for air flow.. or Keep them both closed.... (See Picture) 2. I noticed the P400 has a "Card Stock" tray which lifts up the pizza rollers.. If I just leave it at that.. would it work ? or I need to take the pizza rollers out.. (See Picture) Thanks for your help.. I feel the P400 should have its own discussion board.. we do have a few P400 users now.. Thanks you @johnson4 @Mdrake2016

Hello.. Kindly guide me where to get this utility from ... As always really appreciate your help thanks

Thanks... this is useful information for me as well... I am waiting on my P400 to arrive.. (After my fails and wasting money and time with the XP15000 and the Epson 4900) Question... DId you get the Chipless software and chipless carts? I am in the process of ordering carts. Found on alibaba ARC chip version and the without chip ones which are basically half the price... As I am going to do the chipless firmware install anyway, was thinking to use the without chip ones save some money .... Also another question to you.. would you get the film on roll or on sheets with the P400..
