Let me know how it goes for sure. We're new at this, so any tips would be helpful. Have you guys ever washed any shirts to see how your prints are holding up?

will do, its such a new process a lot of people are learning it or find different things that work for them. Yeah, we've done multiple wash tests with different inks/film/powder and were amazed how different they all were. We think we've found our perfect set up but it took months and lots of money.

So we actually do not wet cap. We were told by the people installing the printer that because of our climate and the way our room is setup, we wouldn't have to wet cap. We started to print in color and noticed that our color head was producing stripes in the print, so we started wet capping last night. What kind of printer yall using?

we have a 24" chinese printer as well but not the oric one. We were told no maintenance either but we've had it 4 months and only just got it properly sorted and now they've told us we need to clean the wiper and cap station so lost confidence in what they're saying.

We think some of the nozzles are blocked and doing a wet cap with cleaning solution over night to see if that helps. Otherwise head change tomorrow.

We ended up having to replace the print head. Nothing else was working so we had to get another head.

We think that is our next thing to do. Do you wet cap it every night?

Understandable, going to run it today and see what happens, hopefully I didn't damage anything, but I printed some designs after and it looked great.

We have the same issue.

did you manage to sort the issue? If so, what did you do?

thanks

Hello, we have come across DTF printing and extremely interested in it but it seems a fairly new technique. Is there anyone in the UK that sells the printers and/or supplies?

or someone we can ring or meet to discuss the DTF process?
