  1. I'm seeing print speeds around 4 mins on a P600 for an 8x10 print (adding white, I assume it's more like 8mins) If I'm doing 50pcs 8x10 transfers per day, that's around 6-1/2 hrs of printing🤔 The P6000 can do a 14X16 print, in about 2mins. So I'm guesstimating that a 10x12 with white, at around 600dpi would be about the same 2mins. So are the P6000 and P7000 convertible to DTF? If not, are most desktop business models, less than 50pcs transfers per day? What older large format Epsons (Chip reset and bulk ink developed) are DTF possible? I'm looking at speed and not so much size.. Thanks..
  2. Thanks for the info and your time.. I’ve been reading a couple of your other post and kind of got an appreciation the process - The transfer sheet is necessary to absorb the “ink’s base” and dries the face side of the transfer, it is also heat reactivated so that it can release from the transfer sheet. On the other side of the DTF ink, the powder does the same thing - it absorbs the inks base, dries the ink and is also heat reactivated.. (So the reason for using a larger grain powder made specifically for the DTF inks, it it’s ability to absorb the inks carrier) - A heated activated, dry sandwich.. Are these DTF inks the same thing being used for M&Rs Digital Squeegee and like technology? If so, I saw a digital white (I believe on PolyOne) that they are offering for inkjet applications - That’s a possible white and perhaps, so is discharge white, I also saw a new, no powder transfer white - Never mind making these two processes work together, it matters, for my model, that I don’t run white through the inkjet heads if I don’t have too.. Also, are there different transfer film textures like matte and gloss? In the videos I’ve watched, DTF appears a bit glossy..
  3. Hi everyone, looking to get into Digital Transfers and doing some research. My question is, when printing on whte t-shirts using DTF inks, do you have to still overprint the white DTF ink? A follow-up question is, does the white ink deposit contribute to the general thickness of the transfer, the release coating of the paper or the adhesive powder? For my business model and production direction, I would like to do away with the white ink and the (powder if possible).. My interest is the inkjet and release carrier technology.. Thanks
