Similar machine I have 2, dual xp-600, senyang mobo... had for a year now and have converted it to CcMmYK for best colour reach really beefed up the light pastel greeny/blues... but only use if customer fussy, coz halfspeed... I bought Cadlink but it's unemployed now,  I use Photoshop/Maintop/Atools... Yes it really helps to ICC profile your setup from getgo, monotrs and printer so all colorproofing/adjusting/gradient underbasing/halftone knockouts (all macro-based) is handled by photoshop, RIP just shuts up, nods, prints ... also check your waveforms in Atools for best ink density, shipped icc might be ok, just make sure it's loaded up correctly in RIP and photoshop. Might try Flexi at some point... but not fixing anything not broke just yet...

Properly formulated DTG inks are water-based pigmented inks with sufficient amounts of polyols, which serve as humectants and protect the drying out of the ink and increase the open time. Small amounts of alcohol serve as penetrants and are NOT a main ingredient nor in the ink nor the cleaning fluid. Cleaning fluid would have deionized water, glycols, surfactants and some polyols. If you'd like to experiment, for DTG inks you could make a cleaning fluid from 75% deioznized water and 20% glycerol and 5% pure isopropyl alcohol (not denaturated with MEK or other stuff)   

Hi there, thanks for this formulation, trying it at the moment, but just a question... what kind of added dye can be used for nozzle checking?
