Converting Artisan 1430 to DTF

[Jillian]

Can someone help me with converting my 1430 to dtf?

im lost and really want to get the supplies ordered ASAP. I would truly appreciate any help!!

I have already removed the front rollers and will be adding the waste bottle soon.

my questions are....

1.) Will Acrorip 9 software work?

2.) The only refillable cartridges for the 1430 that I’ve found is from CobraInks. Will those work for DTF?

3.) there are three trays in the front of the 1430 printer. Do any of these trays need to come off? 
 

4.) my waste ink pad is nearing the end of its life. Resetting the pad and adding a waste bottle will fix this issues, right?

 Don’t forget you need a tray to hold the film as it comes out, level with the output rollers.

Thank you for helping! So all three trays stay?? I still have to build the output tray. Just seems like the three original trays will get in the way?

You can remove them if you want to. I never needed to with the ones I’ve converted. 
 

you can also use that one tray with the slider as the start of the output tray. The two I converted, that worked perfectly and I didn’t need an output tray. Just used that and the original paper tray.

Got the cartridges today and ink. What is the order the cartridges go? I have no white cartridges so not sure which cartridge it goes in.  
I don’t understand about the ink charges and chips yet....do I need to do anything with that?

I appreciate you helping me and your time. You’ve helped me get this far!
