I can confirm the adhesive will just peel off and get everywhere if it was ran through a normal printer, at least the film I tried just now. Haha.

thanks! i guess im in a pickle on this lol

It's the adhesive side that sticks to the objects that you are printing on, so it's super sticky. 

I went the flatbed route due to this, but planned on attempting some DIY conversion for a roll printer. 

 

I know they have some chinese printers that do this, but it prints from a roll, peels the paper from the roll before going into the printer, and has the laminator pulling it out of the front at the same time. Likely the only reason it works is it's basically " tensioned" between the front and back roller keeping it flat. In a stock printer, I doubt this would work. 

 

But, If your head is the solvent manifold and you go with UV everything else, it should work in that aspect. I just can't say it would work not being a flat bed. 

Hi thanks for your response! is there anyone or anywhere to buy a full flatbed kit???ive looked all over the net cant find any

Yes it’s stock printer I’ve removed some rollers. Good point you made about the adhesive paper,I also have blk UV tanks and uv ink carts coming. I’ll haft to look more into the rollers 

Hello! I have few good working Epson 1430 printers laying around, Im curious to know if anyone has converted one to do DTF UV? I want to make 'stickers 'only. I have ordered proper things i need complete the process.  link below
