I'm assuming that this is because having two white channels is required to get enough white ink coverage and opacity? Is this also why EKPrint supports this model, but only as a DTG where the print bed could allow multiple passes on the white?

So I have two older Epson printers collecting dust in my garage, a Workforce 1100 and a Workforce 7010. Both have 5 channels. Could either of these printers be converted to DTF?  I was thinking it could be a cheap/low-risk option to play around with (for someone is mostly a hobbyist at this point), other than the cost of buying EKPrint (which claims supports for both printers). I'm guessing print speed would be an issue? Are there any other limitations/pitfalls I should be aware of?

The only downfall- You use chip resetters. Since it's 200ML though, who cares.  it's not like the R2000 with 15ML cartridges. 200 ML will get me halfway through a roll or so, so if it works out right it'll be about every 7.5 hours of printing per reset.

I've looked for a chip resetter for the p5000 but I could only find single use chips. Does a 4900 chip resetter work for the p5000?
