They are all the same basic concept. Remove the rollers after the printhead. Make a paper tray or something to support the paper( the job of the rollers you just removed). 
 

that’s it. Add a waste tank if you want, everything else is basic knowledge. Refillable carts, rip software, etc

Think I will have to give DTF a try myself. Just got a p600 with ciss system for £10 including postage.

It works quite well, better than I expected. The sheets are a bit finicky to load sometimes because they are so thin.

Don’t really need a video, it’s very simple.

If I have a p600 that I’ve been using dtg ink in can I just change my carts and use dtf ink? Also can someone tell me what the end product actually feels like to the hand? Is it paper feeling or htv feeling or is it more like dtg feeling?

Flush it and use the DTF ink if you want. 

Depending on the powder, and how well you do that. too much powder and it feels plastic like. get a good amount of powder and it should feel like a softer transfer. I press mine hard so it gets down in the shirt fibers. CMYK DTG is the best, i'd say its comparable to white ink DTG.

So are you saying you use dtg ink instead of dtg ink?

Dtg ink instead of dtf ink

[Emptynest outfitters]

My reason for all the questions is because I haven’t been able to get my dtg printer to print good with the white ink. It looks grey and I want to be able to get a good quality white print on a dark shirt. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I just meant if you want to switch to DTF. Personally, I’d start with a new unmodified printer. 

totally doable to print on a flatbed, but it needs to be extremely close to the film, etc. 
 

if your having issues, switching to another ink/process doesn’t really help and could easily happen there too. 
 

anyway, yes you can just flush out the DTG ink and put in DTF ink.

I'm not aware of one, you just reach in and pull out the "pizza" rollers, and from there make an output tray, or finagle something together with the OEM paper tray.  You remove the rollers that would hold the paper down in the the front. 

Other than that, that's it unless you want to add a waste bottle.
