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 love love it!!!! Very thoroughly put and explained. You gained a follower ❤
I love your videos. They are super informative and easy to follow along with. Thank you!
thank you so much, Sandra!
Good job. Always learning.
Good video thanks don’t know how I missed this one ❤looks good
This is so beautiful Queen. I think you have found a new love ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this!! This was so informational!!
thanks for watching!
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?
Hi! Patrice, this was a very informative video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
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 ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for this tutorial!!!!
Your bling is bussin
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.
My thoughts exactly???? DTF printers are soooo expensive
Cricut has made print then cut up to a3 in beta mode
Very informative! Thanks for sharing!
I’m happy you’re doing this because I just got my 3rd et15000 - ecosolvent, inkjet and sublimation.
@Oscar Hernandez hi, yes. No issues or clogs. I print a purge sheet everyday on all my printers.
@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.
Awesome Craftablethings🤩
Your Juneteenth shirt is gorgeous, that bling 👍
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!! :)
Monica where’s the link to the video for hack to print bigger on cricut? Can u link it here? Thank you
@@karatohongkongcat yess!! This is the one I watched: th-cam.com/video/liK2Z54A_rU/w-d-xo.html
This is using a full 8.5 x 11 page but you can still use this technique for 11x17
@@monicachavez4040 gracias!!
Very informative, thank you for sharing! Are you required to perform regular maintenance on your printer? Does eco-solvent separate like DTF ink?
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).
Hi Patrice
Love your T-shirt. Did you make a video for doing it?
Great tutorial!
Hi Patrice! You are awesome! Excellent informative video. Tfs.
Hey girl!!! Thank you so much!
You always have great content
Do you feel that this is more cost effective for people just starting out versus DTF?
How do you do your cut lines when cutting with the cricut?
I am new to your channel! I love crafting as well!
Welcome & thanks for being here!!!
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?
Can you tell me what settings you have it on mine prints really dull
LOVE! LOVE! your ES ink :)
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?
I purchased my ET-15000 directly from Dell, and it was brand new. At the time, they were the only ones who still had them in stock.
Dell sells an Epson brand product??
@@tinkerbelle3502 yes,really the only place you can buy them for reg price
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.
How does the echo solvent hold up in wash
Do you need to change print settings? Color ?
Hello there, what kind of vinyl sheet? that u cut white vinyl please let me know as soon
Great video. Where can I get a et 15000 in stock?
How is the quality of eco solvent vs a printable heat vinyl
what would u prefer, eco solvent or dtf ?
Hi Patrice, what items can the eco-solvent ink goes on? And what's the difference between it and sublimation printing
Hello, great video. Can you please help with the Siser Color Print HTV link. It's not working. Thank you
If I already have regular ink in my printer is there any way that I can still convert the printer to solvent ink??
Can print for regular paper
If i want to buy my first PTF printer, which brand/model do you recommend?
Great job Patrice! Now I have to go buy another printer?!🤦🏾♀️🤣🤔
Is that the biggest you can print then cut with the StarCraft??
What printer do you recommend to start with DTF? et-15000 or et 8550?
what will be better to start?
Hi! Great video, only question is the printing on the vinyl. Is the vinyl transparent on the vinyl where you could apply to a tumbler and it won’t be seen? Is this something like clear car decals?
This vinyl is white. However, there are transparent vinyls that can be used.
Do you prefer this to dtf?
Nice. It turned out really good. TFS.
Hey Renobia! Thanks for watching!
@@CraftableThings YW🥰
How is the echo solvent trying get back in tshirts Bussiness in. Not sure if I want go that way or sublimation
Why do you change from one epson model to another? They dont work well? Is 8550 good or bad? For dtf
What are your washing instructions.
Would this be good for making stickers? Will they be uv and wsyerproof?
Would you recommend a good crafters printer? 💛
What is the thing that is curing the image called or can you use a Cricut?
hi
can i use eco solvent ink with my epson wf c5290 ?
Thanks!!!!
I just got one and am going to convert it. I have a question: has yours lasted more than 2 years for this printer
Nicely done
do u sell samples? I would like to try this transfer before investing in the 15000 eco solvent convert
My design space can’t find my printer. Can you help?
Hi, quick question, can i convert my epson et-2400 to eco solvent?
Hello. May I ask how your printer is holding up?
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
What is the masking? How do I find online please?is masking same as transfer tape?
Hi Patrice, how did the ink hold up? Did it clog after a while, and have you been able to make any prints that look close to white in color?
If you already have sublimation ink in your ET15000 can it still be turned into Eco Solvent?
OMG, didn't know nothing about eco solvent. Now that I do know, that's my next mission, GET ECO SOLVENT INK AND ANOTHER PRINTER!!.
You can use cotton t-shirts too, oh yeah I'm getting this.
You just save my computer from being thrown in the trash 😂😂😂 I thought my computer didn’t work 😂😊
Yay! I’m glad that you didn’t trash it 😂😂😂
Hahaha that’s what I’m here for lol
Can I use eco solvent on cups AND t shirts ??? 😮
Hi what paper are you using?
are the eco solvent wont clog in the head?
Would you still recommend this method?
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
Yes it does you're just limited on print size that's all with 8 1/2x14 being max versus 13x19 with the ET15000.
So after a year from this video, how it the printer doing?
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
yes...I've always need to do printhead cleanings.
@@CraftableThings every day?
Great video
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. Looking forward to supporting your business.
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.
You will have to purchase another printer. You cannot do both in one printer.
@@CraftableThings thank you!
Hey there..I love your channel! Did you ever have any issues with pizza wheels with eco solvent inks with this printer??
No, I haven't...at least, not yet.
Cheeky!🥰
What is the name of printer paper
Don't you need different profiles to get the colors correct
So does the printer only last 3 years with eco ink because it breaks down?
My cyan is clogged and won't print....do you have any suggestions on how I can get the clog out? I have done multiple cleanings along with the power clean...it fixed the magenta and yellow, but the cyan is very stubborn...I'd appreciate any help!
Do a purge sheet with that color cyan and see if that'll help.
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 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 think most eco-tanks can use this ink. Yes, this ink lasts longer.
Hi Patrice, another great video as usual. I wanted to order the solvent ink but when I clicked on the link, the seller does not have any contact information on their web page. It only allows one to sign up for email notifications. The ink description states that orders may ship between the 1-30 but doesn’t state which month they are referring to.
Good morning @Becoming DrYork when I clicked the link in her description box it took me right to the ink for pre-order
@@DempsDesigns hi thanks for responding. Yes the link works perfectly but I had questions about the description on the ink webpage and was requesting clarity about the estimated shipping- it only says 1st-30th but doesn’t specify the month it may ship. There is also no seller contact information to communicate with the seller directly.
Hello everyone!
Hey Nana! Thanks for watching!
Was that cotton shirts
Mine is only printing yellow I’m stressed when I was sick I didn’t print anything for two weeks
start doing printhead cleanings...you might have to do a few before you see the ink.
If I buy a printer like this can you help me convert it?
Hi Krissy!
This video will walk you through setup. Just note the you must print daily as this ink easily clogs.
Can this be done on dark Tshirt
Yes, it can
Do you know if the Epson EcoTank ET-2803 would do the same?
yes, it will.
thank you for the video! can I still print on regular paper or make stickers with this ink?
no, it will need to be a special vinyl.
@@CraftableThings correct me if I'm wrong but you're using sublimination ink? I saw sublimation ink and eco solvent, so eco solvent should be okay for regular glossy paper do you think?
@@dandee28 the title of the video is Eco-solvent. I go through the steps of installing eco-solvent ink into the printer. It's all in the video. There is no sublimation used at all.
@@CraftableThings thank you, just making sure! so, i cant print on glossy sticker paper at all with this ink?
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
Hey Ady!
What settings are you using when printing? Make sure to download all of the prints drivers. Initially when you install the printer only the basic drivers are downloaded.
Can I put eco solvent ink in epson ecotank 2720 or 2800
Only if the printer has never had any other inks in it.
That shirt is beautiful. Is it vinyl
Thank you. yes, it is.
Please help me I bought eco solvent ink and new epson 15000 everything works on printable vinyl also the images looks amazing and than I had heat transfer vinyl and when I printed it it just was very greasy , or like very small air bubbles but It was not siser colorprint easy it was just heat transfer vinyl so is it maybe because of this? Or what do you think? Please help
That’s the problem. You can only use materials that are compatible with ecosolvent ink.
So the siser colorprint easy is on the way from America you think it will work with it?
Thank you so much for your answer you’re the best
