Love how u took it out just to understand it! That's something I would do! Lol
Thanks for getting back to me,
I saw some videos on the conversation, I just need to do some modifications,
Once I figure it out I’ll let you know,,
I tried my best to record it
Thank you for your video it made me feel confident I can get started with my DFT 1400
You got it!!
I'M SCARED LOL. Thi video was great, I appreciate the share with trial and error.
thank you for watching. I appreciate it truly
Hi Rizillion , I like how you converted that That Epson 1430 to DTF,
I have a question I own a Epson R2400 and I would like to convert it To DTF,
The closest person on TH-cam that explains the conversation to Epson has been you,
I was wondering if the procedure to convert my Epson R2400 will be similar to what you did with Epson 1400,?
I saw your video today 3/16/24
Hello Danny, I'm going to say yes, the printers are like cousins except you have 8 ink carts instead of 6, I'm not sure if you should leave 2 empty or not tho. Let me know how it works out
Hey Im new to the whole Dtf space. I have had the same printer for a few years now and haven't done anything with it yet, life. Anyway I came across your videos a few days ago and your inspiring me to try this space out. I have a few questions but this is lengthy already. Please keep up the progress and the videos. Thank you
I think you should since you have a printer already. It cuts the cost in half but ask whatever you need. You may help someone else with your question
Where can I get the Accurip software? I tried eBay like you said and couldn't find it. Im wondering if you knew anywhere I could find it a lil cheap

Thank so much❤️💯
Love it! I just bought an xp15000 that I'm going to be converting. Hopefully it comes out as good as yours
Yours will come out better! I know it
@@rizillionprints8741 lol I’m gonna manifest that. Thank you!
What program are you using and great video
I think I’m gonna try it… thanks for sharing 😊
I hope it works out for you!
I have a 1430 as well but I’ve been using it for sublimation. Is there a way I can convert it to dtf? How do I run the sublimation ink out if it can be converted to dtf?
So you can not use this printer for DTf with a with a Mac computer?
Hello a question I have the epson stylus 1400 and I’m running into a problem it keeps printing the test page. Do you know why this is happening and can u send me some tips on how to fix it please
Respect. Love it!
Thank you so much
Is there a kit that I need to get? If so where do I get it from. Is there any printer setting that need to be changed?
not necessarily a kit but you need a ciss system from ebay, you need a rip software, i used Acrorip also from ebay.
Great video can you share the acrorip seller and version please

Hello Rizillion Prints, I’m looking to convert my Epson R1800 to DTF. Is there anywhere that I could find instructions for the job? Thanks in advance
Hey, your best bet is TH-cam, but I'm pretty sure it's the same steps from this video
I have a et4800 using sublimation ink and paper. my prints come out just fine. when using dtf film my prints come out with lines through the image. does anybody know what can be causing this to happen?
Hello
How many Pizza rollers did you leave on each side?
Thanks
2 on each side

nice
How much would this be to set up from new? I wanna do this but don't want the l1800 cause it's too much to invest in right now.
Honestly it varies. Can I ask what’s your budget? Maybe we can figure out a way together that will help everyone
Hello i see you say you put the cutting mat in the feeder.Can you show exactly how you put it in there ? When I tried it tried to take the mat. Also my 1400 will not catch the paper its just rolling through .Now last night it caught it Im getting fustrated LBVS
So you know how there’s little white notches in the feeder…you want to make sure the cutting mat and paper are up against them. You might have to hold the mat in place while it grabs the paper a few times. I ended up gluing mine once I figured out the position, also I cut my mat to 11inches so I can use the margin thingy to fit a3 size paper to keep it from moving to the side
I just got the Epson wf 7720 which ink cartridge would i put the white ink? Thank you.
hey love, I wouldnt do dtf with a 4 cart printer. you need 5 minimum, 6 for best quality. Also check out my video. Its called "watch this before converting" and come back here and let me know what you decide to do and hopefully I can help you further
@@rizillionprints8741 ok, thank you I definitely will.
Ok, I have a person I get my prints from now, but it just takes to long to get them. The folks in my area don't want to wait 4-5 days to get their shirts.
@@makeupmotivation5044 That's a valid concern, however, shirts have a minimum turnaround time of 7 days. If you're doing shirts here and there, and kinda crafting instead of building a business, I'd say take that printer back and get you a 6 cart printer, Ill let you decide, but stay away from workforce. thats money in the drain. Theyre decent for sublimation though.
If you want to build a business, you have to create expectations for your clients, not letting them create your expectations.
My minimum is 7-10 days. And my minimum tshirt order is 10 shirts. That way its worth my while.
I can break everything down much better verbally and really help you better than I can here. If you decide you want more guidance book a 1 hour call with me:

Hey so before I buy this printer all I have to do is have empty cartridges and fill it with dtf ink. No ciss system?
I would get brand new ones, 2 sets. The reason I wouldn’t use a ciss system is because the ink is so thick and I wouldn’t want it to clog your tubes
i saw another video that said you had to swap out the chip from the original cartridge.. did you do that or you use the refillable as they come?
no, just buy refillable carts or a ciss. swapping out the carts are good if you don't want the printer to tell you when the ink is getting low. however, you will refill your carts while performing maintenance daily.
If i already have a epson et-3760 with regular ink already in it, can i still use it for dtf ink?
I wouldn’t use an eco tank printer in general
I dont know if you have the r1800 if so where do you get your tech support. mine has an error that stops me from printing. I took the wheel out converted and make a waste exit, but will not print because of error. need some assistance. I would be pissed if I sell this and someone get it working in a week.
were you able to get it fixed?
@@rizillionprints8741 no, not yet
@@pamcraftsandtreats damn. I've never worked with the printer you have, but I believe it's similar to the 1430, I've found that a lot of printer repair places don't fix older epsons. What is the error code, I will try to do some research for you.
I’m still trying to understand reason for removing print rollers. Is it to assist with paper feed or prevent “pizza” wheel marks?
When the paper is coming out. The rollers will glide on your ink and can smear it or leave indents in your image
Did you end up taking the rollers off?
Question, if I already have a chip less printed that’s used for sublimation, all I would have to do is change the ink and remove rollers to convert it to dtf?
Pretty much and change the ink. But if you have an eco tank I wouldn’t do it with that
@@rizillionprints8741 thanks for the quick reply. I have an epson 2850. I’ve been using it for sublimation,I haven’t In about a month, tired it on to use it Sunday and it’s not feeling paper, I think the feeding roller wheels are too dusty, it sits right under an open window, probably pollen. Anyway I think I want to convert it to dtf.
@@trendsetta6411 I wouldn’t do it with a workforce to be honest. They’re not really built for specialty inks. You will get a few prints out of it but it will eventually clog really bad. Sublimation ink is kind of thin so that’s why it’s not so bad on workforce but dtf ink is really thick. The printhead wouldn’t be able to maintain
@@rizillionprints8741 thank you. My next plan is to get the xp15000. I see a lot of them being converted. How’s the dtf system working for you?
@@trendsetta6411 mine works great. I have a 1430, the videos I’ve seen on the 15000 aren’t always good but I’m sure you will be able to test it for yourself and go from there. The good thing is that they’re still replaceable. My printer isn’t made anymore so I have to buy it resale
looks like a real pain in the you know what 😮💨
At times it can be but the results make me so happy
Would these work on Leather shoes?
As soon as I try it out I will let you know but I believe it does go onto leather
I don’t guess i can convert my Epson 2720 to DTF can I?
I wouldnt because of the tank. you will need to shake the entire printer
no..you need more than 4 colors..You need the white
How did the wash hold up?
Held up great. It didn’t start messing up until I didn’t print for like 3/4 days straight
@@rizillionprints8741 dang that concerns me. I got a dtf now but I'm going on a week vacation so I'm scared mine will be messed up. Is there a solution to long away times?
@@mannilee3893 what I plan on doing is taking my printhead out and sitting it in distilled water mixed with a lil windex/alcohol for my vacation. If it doesn’t work I have a backup printhead
@@rizillionprints8741 please do a video for that!!! I will be gone for a week on vacation and panicking
@@mannilee3893 which printer do you have ?
do i need a specific program to print in?
Yes acrorip 9 is what I use
@@rizillionprints8741 thank you
Hey I have a question can I also Convert an Epson L1250 Tool .. ?
I wouldn't suggest it. I personally think it would be a waste in the long run. Consider what you will be using it for. Are you supplying customers or just doing small projects at home? Consider they need daily maintenance, especially on such a small desktop printer like the one you mentioned. If you're supplying customers with transfers...also may not be a good idea. But if you're looking for something to learn the process on in hopes to upgrade in the next few months. It could be a good idea to start on a desktop printer...this is my opinion based on personal experience. I'm now at a place where I no longer print, I have a really good vendor, that way I can pump out orders faster
@@rizillionprints8741 I am just starting and I need something that can get me started..When I get My Money right I will upgrade.. any suggestions? On which one I should get .. With not a lot of maintenance
@@AKO_JIMMIE_RSA lol the only ones that don't need as much maintenance would be commercial ones and large format printers that self clean.
Check facebook marketplace
You need something with 6 ink channels if you're gonna go desktop. I was using an epson 1430, they're going for about $1000 now. You may luck up and find someone that doesn't know what they have and will probably let it go for $500. I say keep your end goal in mind. That'll help you figure out your budget. The cheaper your startup costs, the more time and money it will take maintaining. Consider that as well.
