I GO TO PRINT FILM JUST ROLLS STRAIGHT OUT
elliotiscool replied to Frank's topic in Direct to Film (DTF) Printing
Regarding the paper cut, all I know about it is that once a print is done, the touchscreen has an option to cut or don't cut. When I select don't cut, it does nothing. When I select cut, it ejects even more film. And then when I select that I have finished cutting, it pulls the film back in. By eye, it appears to me that both options result in the same length of ejected film. -

Thank you for the help guys. It was a bit of a dumb moment for me when I realized there is a roll feed slot for the printer. I got that all working fine now. One issue. I feel my print is ejecting way too much film between each print. My dimensions for the printer and EK print are 13 x 14 and it seems to eject way too much film between each print. What is the best way to address this? -

I pulled out the roll and inserted it just like I would a sheet. Is there a different way I'm supposed to feed it? On EK Print, I couldn't find any dimensions for an actual roll. -

So after a few tries with paper under the film I was able to get it to feed and perform a print. Unfortunately, after it finished printing, it tried ejecting the roll for several seconds and then gave a paper jam message. It is as if the printer doesn't have the correct settings for a roll and it's trying to eject a sheet. How do I find these settings? I thought I had everything set properly. -

I haven't tried stacking paper behind. Will give that a shot tomorrow. It feeds my film sheets fine (with a little hand guidance when it feeds). -

Damn, it's been off on my machine. Anybody have a solution for ensuring the roll feeds into the printer? Mine always just gives a paper jam error. -

I'm struggling with the roll. When I try to manually feed it, it tries to eject it and then gives paper jam error. -

White Powder vs Black Powder?
elliotiscool replied to AnsonMyPants's topic in Direct to Film (DTF) Printing
Supposedly it has "anti dye migration" but it sounds a little gimmicky to me because I only run into migration issues when I haven't properly cured my print. Mixing black powder on a white back doesn't make sense to me because you would possibly need to use more white ink to offset it in comparison to the white powder. -
Newly converted P600 setup?
elliotiscool replied to elliotiscool's topic in Direct to Film (DTF) Printing
Thank you so much! I ran the ink charge but it would stop at around 50% because the printer would show the "cannot recognize ink cartridge" error so I'd have to push the reset button. I decided to run it a 2nd time until it hit the 50% mark and gave the error again. I ran a nozzle check and an entire line was missing for cyan. I did a cleaning and it looked good after. Ran a test print and it looks good! I'll report anything that arises but I think I'm all set. On a side note, thank you for all the responses you make on this forum. I've lurked through so many threads and your responses ha -
Newly converted P600 setup?
elliotiscool replied to elliotiscool's topic in Direct to Film (DTF) Printing
Prior to printing these nozzle checks, I ran a print head cleaning about an hour ago. Printed this 5 times and all 5 were consistent. The rubber was removed from the vent holes when I installed them a couple days ago. When I originally installed the cartridges, I didn't purge them. Yesterday, I purged them and placed them back in. I've ran maybe 8 head cleanings and 10 prints since then. -
Newly converted P600 setup?
elliotiscool replied to elliotiscool's topic in Direct to Film (DTF) Printing
I just tried large, level 3, 125% and got the same result. I appreciate all the time you guys have spent so far trying to help me. It's a real bummer not being able to get this new setup to work properly. What would you guys advise I do at this point? -
Newly converted P600 setup?
elliotiscool replied to elliotiscool's topic in Direct to Film (DTF) Printing
This is a DTF pre-built from Andy. I checked my resolution and realized I had it at 1440x720 on my printer and 720x720 on EK. I switched both to 1440x1440 and tried printing again but I still see lines. -

Tried setting platen to wide and also tried increasing thickness from 3 to 4. No change in results unfortunately. I attempted 3 larger prints when I was testing it. I did a nozzle check afterwards and all I could find was a single small broken line for cyan. Nothing else. -

I'm loving my print aside from the small lines that are appearing. This was after a good nozzle check. What is the best way to solve this? Thanks.
