Zigotti Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I am interested in this too! I opted for the 3880 and I’m trying to figure out how this is possible. By far one of the hardest things I’ve searched for on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the 3880 has Chipless support, or one pass cmyk/color. So no, I don’t believe it will work for DTF for those reasons.

I know a p400 can cost you around $500, a p800 can cost you between $200-$500 and a p600, is hard to come by and I don’t recommend it due to the costs now. Used or not, doesn’t matter. I always check and buy them when they are cheaper, I hear a lot of stories of people getting them cheap locally due to the new p700/p900 photo printers, so naturally those people will upgrade and sell the old one. basically any Epson 6-9 color printer with Chipless, or ARC ( auto reset chips) available and RIP support from Acrorip/EKprint/Kothari will work. It will just vary in speed, based on the specs. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasse Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 On 1/8/2021 at 12:41 PM, Ikegwegbe said: Is does have one pass but does not have chipless support I got 2 refurbished Epson 3800 sitting in my garage, whating for work and they both have working ARC-chip installed. The Epson 3880 uses the same ink cartridges as the 3800, so to my knowledge there is ARC-chip solutions for the 3880 avalible. I got mine a couple of years ago on Alibaba, and a quick search showes that suppliers still offer ARC solutions for the 3880https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=3880+ARC+chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
