Mike555 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 That’s all you need to do to make it a dtf printer? Take it apart to use the white inks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike555 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hi Andy. I like the topic about this thing called dtf with epson l1800. You posted a video if someone converting the epson into dtf. Is that all you need to do is take it apart and put it together? Or is there more to it. I wanted to get into that because the dtg is too expensive. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It's all a bit pricey, But yes, the basic concept is to remove the rollers from the printer ( You don't really need to take them apart, at least the models i've done). 1. remove rollers 2. make output tray for film to set on as it comes out ( you need it, if you think you don't you'll find out why soon enough) 3. all the supplies, heat press, conveyer dryer or whatever else. 4. rip software It has been outlined numerous times through the forum, for the most part you won't really receive answers for redundant questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike555 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Thanks. This is my first time hearing about dtf. I was reading on this thread or another. Does the the L1800 or p400 p600 p800 need a waste bottle? And which is easier to maintain or use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilesink Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 A waste bottle makes things easier but not essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the the L1800 or p400 p600 p800 need a waste bottle? And which is easier to maintain or use? The p800 has a built in removable waste pad. I just empty it and use it as a waste tank, the others, a bottle would be recommended. At the end of the day they all work, some are faster, some are more expensive to replace parts. You'll eventually need a new print head, each one of those have their own costs. There is no " best" for every scenario, the differences of the printers are outlined here, and within their own specs listed by Epson.

Lenny A Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hi all, I have an Epson 1400 printer that I bought about a year ago to print films for screen printing. I've never used it. So my question is: can it be converted to a DTF printer and is there a link someone can send me to do it? I'm really excited to see I perhaps didn't waste my money not using this printer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson4 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 They are all the same basic concept. Remove the rollers after the printhead. Make a paper tray or something to support the paper( the job of the rollers you just removed). that’s it. Add a waste tank if you want, everything else is basic knowledge. Refillable carts, rip software, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny A Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 So Question, if I can use a Epson 1400 for DTF printing how does it print white ink? Is black replaced with the white? I don't understand....please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
