R3000_adjustment

I have worked with this and similar fabrics, they are impregnated with water-repellent impregnation, so this fabric is very difficult to work with. This fabric can only be handled by screen printing with solvent ink, but not all solvent paints will work.It is necessary to look for solvent ink on textiles so that the paint does not crack and dries quickly.

58 Argon series - Texylon

Thank you, I received the code, I will understand.

uhim.ua@gmail.com   Thank!

In my opinion, not a good photo for the test, the test must be done on a test photo, for example ( Hakamada_test_sRGB.tif ) so that everyone can compare with the original and test it at home.

I assume you have a short circuit in the head in the printer, the protection is triggered. Check the ribbon cable going to the printer head. There may be ink leakage, which led to the activation of the protection.

Here is a photo of this white ink, the R3000 printer went through three passes. Near kodak, just smeared.

I used this company DTG ink, cmyk of normal quality, white is just water! I fought with them for two months and did not achieve anything! I just got them to change the shelf life from 12 months to 6 months. I would not recommend you to buy anything from this company.

You can get the demo for it without purchasing EKprint just in-case you run into an issue. It's fully functional, no time limitation, just prints a small watermark ( which you can get around if you know what your doing). 

 

Keep us updated, I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm still waiting on epson to ship mine.

hesitate to ask how to bypass the watermark in EKprint?

I understand that you are going to print on this DTF printer, but you did not take into account the main thing, this is software control (RIP). I think this will be your big problem. I could be wrong, of course.

Hi guys is there any rip software for epson ET-14000? 

epson ET-14000 is not suitable for DTF.

In your photos, I realized that you manually pour the powder onto the film yourself? And one more question what kind of engine is over the stove! Does it draw or force air into the stove?

Anyone had the problem of the printer not grabbing the film? I’ve tried all sorts in my Epson 2400 but I cannot get it to grip the paper 

Add 15-20 sheets of paper to the tray and insert the film over the top of the paper. The film wakes up closer to the pickup roller.

Hey Can you print onto the PET film with a DTG printer? ( just lay the PET film on the platen instead of the T-shirt and print to that

Can! It will even have better two-pass print quality.

Johnson4  have you tried reusing the film and how many times?

Silicone baking paper can withstand high temperatures. Previously, it was used with plastisol transvers, as now they use a film for DTF.

What is "yellow copy paper"? --- This is baking paper, used for screen printing as a DTF

PowerRip won't work for you; it can't print with white ink and color at the same time. Suitable for your printer AcroRIP 903

The dryer is suitable if you are going to dry 5-6 films per minute.

I didn’t have this problem myself, if I printed larger than the sheet it just kept printing on the end. I can see as soon as the paper reaches the end where the rear isn’t supported, it lifts up and hits the printhead because it’s not supported in the front. What you suggest makes total sense, but isn’t there also soposed to also be a paper tray?  

The paper tray plays an important role for the DTF to keep the film in a horizontal position, preventing the film from bending, ink spreading. When the film ends, it goes to an additional pushing roller, but there is nothing to press the film against the ox, since we removed these wheels and the film remains under gravity on the ox. At this moment, as the film is not fixed with anything, anything can happen, film shift, printing defects, or even the roller will not be able to push it further along the printing process. I ran into this situation in sublimation printing. Sublimation papers have a chalk base on one side. After 5-7 prints, the upper rollers stopped traces, it was often necessary to remove the roller bar to wash and dry. It's exhausting. After that, I decided to remove the rollers and increase the paper by three centimeters, all the problems went away. By the way, watch the video about DTF from Indonesia, everyone leaves a piece of film not just that they have a lot of it.

Good question! Color migration occurs a couple of months after the print is applied to the fabric. So you need to wait, maybe someone will post this test. It is best for your company to do this test yourself because fabrics and fabric dyes are different.
I also want an answer.

The video clearly shows that your drawing in film size cannot be done like that! The design should be smaller than the sheet of film so that the end of the film remains in the printer for holding and ejection from the printer.

I have watched the "Hobby Print Indonesia" video they have installed in AcroRip for L1800 cmyk 60%, white 100% 

Window cleaner comes in a variety of compositions, isopropyl alcohol-based cleaner dissolves the ink and can be poured into the parking lot to clean the print head (which I do sometimes), more often I pour distilled water into the parking lot.

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

I recently purchased such a solvent and ink I want to test, The solvent has a chemical smell and dissolves the ink I think this solvent is for deep cleaning of the head

Forgive me Johnson 4, in order to switch to matte, you need to specifically climb into the printer menu and switch to matte, this is a deliberate action, almost a "terrorist attack" in a small size.
