  1. good day, please I need your help on an issue. my power supply board was blown because of a power surge. I had originally used a 220 volt power supply current on my Epson r3000 that was rated 120volt, it worked fine all the while, but along the line a power surge burnt the power supply. so I am wondering if I could replace the burnt  120 volt power board with a 220 power supply board without any issues

    Windex and glass cleaner have no place with DTG/DTF. the idea was that the ammonia/alcohol would help unclog print-heads with PIGMENT ink. 

    DTF/DTG inks are water-based. Cleaning solution is made to " dissolve" the ink to some degree, to allow for cleaning. Capping station fluid is basically inert, it's placed there to remove the air, so the printhead can be protected from air, since, water-based inks worst nightmare is air drying it out. IF the cap is filled, and the print-head is placed over it and sealed, it basically prevents any possibility of the inks in the print-head from drying out. Where, without the fluid, air is trapped in there, allowing the ink to potentially dry out in the head given enough time. If you used cleaner, it would slowly deteriorate the face of the printhead, until failure. the time it takes depends on how strong the cleaner is. 

    Thanks for the info, so which one do you advice me to get. I saw this one on AliExpress US $14.32 | DTG Ink Textile InK Garment Ink Cleaning Liquid Cleaning Fluid Printhead Cleaning Solution DTG Ink Cleaner (3 Capacity Options)
    https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPStDfT and I wondering if it is ok

  3. Good day everyone, I am made to believe that a wet cap solution liquid is different from a printhead cleaning solution. I am a bit confused, why two different solutions? Is it that one is stronger than the other or what? I would live to know where windex and other glass cleaning liquid comes in place? I am new to dtf printing and I want to get all my facts clear, before investing in it. Thanks

  4. Sorry to say this here but I am new to dtf printing, but I wanted to be clear on the one phase printing on Acrorip. I know the printer will first print the colors first, before the white underbase, but I don't understand the idea of it. After the first print do I have to feed the printer the film again or what? Please help me clear this out
