This was beautiful. I am beginning to change my mind on the DTF! My only concern is in Cricut, you can't cut bigger. I would definitely have to use my Cameo for this! Thank you so much for this video.
And I have DTF transfer powder and I’ve been mirroring the image, then printing, then applying the powder to the pattern and placing it in a dehydrator with the heat on 160 for a few minutes to help the powder and the ink mix better
Hi Patrice....just curious, why do you turn the bleed off? Doesn't the bleed help you get a more accurate cut (like prevent the white border that is sometimes left behind).
Hello beautiful I’m waiting on my ink to convert mines I have everything ready. Can’t wait to to start my conversion. Next video we would like to see your collections of printers. I do believe you have them all.
Thank you so much❤ 4this video I was browsing looking 4info about this printer & after 1hr your video appears and let me tell you🫣 you just gave me a good class ♥️♥️♥️ God bless you 4this 😊😊 #newfollower
Love your channel. As beginners in this world of print, we would still be scratching our heads looking at each other like, What have we done? Fortunately we are learning and we looking to make our projects easier. My question is, to use the Epson ET 8550 or the ET15000, do we need extra software to run either of these two printers with eco solvent or dtv after converting them?
Hey how are you doing? I absolutely love your videos. I had a question? Do you need eco solvent vinyl or you can use printable heat transfer vinyl? Thank you
I hope you can update us on printer clogging and maintenance. I saw a TH-cam video about a water based eco solvent converted ink that made her printer unusable. Then the video disappeared. Please update us IF it is really worth taking the risk.Thanks.
Hello thank you for this video , question do I have to get a separate printer for this.i already have a sublimation printer., or can I use it both in one printer.
I’m having issues printing I can make dtf patterns and print but they won’t heat transfer I have hippo sublimation ink and I have the same printer as you and I did the conversion the way that everybody says, but when I print nothing, I print will heat transfer for some reason and I’m trying to heat transfer it at 200° and I’ve left the heat press on it for a whole minute, almost and can’t get nothing to transfer my T-shirt press well only heat press it 200° or higher it goes to 280 I think
Love the video and wanted to ask, is your ET15000 still working great qifh the eco solvent in it? Also would you rather do the eco solvent with the et15000 or would converting an Epson 8550 to DTF be better?
Hey there love your video but quick question does this epson 15000 printer clog or need cleaning like a standard eco solvent printer does? With a standard eco solvent printer you have to clean the capping station and around the print head..what’s the cleaning process with the 15000 to prevent ink drying clogs? Thanks
Hi Patrice! I just purchased my new Epson printer but haven’t received it yet. Fingers crossed it comes in the next few days! But I wanted to let you know about another video I watched from another Cricut user and she imported the same print & cut image but as the the cut file. It was a hack on how to get around the smaller print and cut. You would have to print the image outside of design space but it’s worth a try! I know I’m going to try it with just regular inkjet printable vinyl to see if I can get it to work!! :)

Hello Patrice I found your channel today and fell in love with your videos ( those I already watched) I'd like to know if I can make stickers with this printer would I have to use a different material ? I think so right. Have you ever done any stickers with this printer? Thank you for your time ❤️❤️❤️
So I have the refillable cartridges, if I were to buy other ones and use the eco solvent ink in the new cartridges could I switch back and forth? Or would you not recommend that?
Can you add eco solvent ink in all Epson EcoTank printers? Also, this ink it last longer on a t-shirt than the ink that comes with your Epson printer? Thank you!
I'm very new to all of this. Is it OK to assume that an ecotank printer 2800 does the same as the 15000? I'm also new to cricut. Bought it like 2 years ago. But it's been collecting dust. And I really want to do something w it. I'm a new subscriber and already love your channel! TIA
@Oscar Hernandez update. I started having major issues and my print head went out. Then my printer completely died. The eco solvent only lasted me about 4 good months. I wouldn’t recommend.
Hello , please help me !!! I live in Germany and i bought everything you have in this video but my printer doesn’t have the papertype presentation mat. It has only Epson matt and the color on the vinyl is coming out like greasy. I don’t know what to do anymore i bought really everythingplease help me
I bought the epson 15000 but it’s not vibrant like yours . I followed your steps but it’s still kind of dull. The black it not as dark as yours. What can I do to make the colors vivid. This ríñete was not cheap. Please help a sister here God bless

Or what do you think? Please help
Hello. If i heard correctly, I believe you sell the solvent ink Patrice is using in the video. I’m looking forward to supporting your business. I went to your web page to pre-order the ink but the description does not specify which month the ink might ship-it only states 1st-30th. I would’ve contacted you directly but the page only provides a space to sign up for a newsletter but no direct contact phone or email is provided for questions. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

My thoughts exactly???? DTF printers are soooo expensive
Cricut has made print then cut up to a3 in beta mode
And I have DTF transfer powder and I’ve been mirroring the image, then printing, then applying the powder to the pattern and placing it in a dehydrator with the heat on 160 for a few minutes to help the powder and the ink mix better

What are your thoughts on pigment ink VS. eco- solvent ink ? for making Stickers etc. ?
Eco-Solvent seems to be the standard in pro work flows.

Can I use eco solvent on cups AND t shirts ??? 😮
Why do you change from one epson model to another? They dont work well? Is 8550 good or bad? For dtf
Can you tell me what settings you have it on mine prints really dull
What are your washing instructions.
