Im trying to come up with an excuse I can give to my husband as a reason why i need ANOTHER printer after i just got an epson 15000 for Christmas🤔😆 I'm adding this to my page so i can come right back to it, once i get my printer (claiming it now😊) I was like😮when you were talking about pouring that ink out, im yelling sell it😂. Thank you for another great thorough video!🥰
Right now I'm sitting here mad that TH-cam only just now introduced me to your channel. Not only do you live close to me but your laughter is just melodic! I'm going to subscribe and add to your numbers and I look forward to your videos and I'm going to look back through what you've already posted so maybe I can learn something new!
This doesn't have anything to do with the printer, but those paper boxes in the background...whew they are cute!!! Please tag me in the video if it's already up and posted!
thank you so much for your help on converting my printer. i got the full version after the trial and not able to print the white underbase anymore no matter how many times i reset ir. did tou have this issue?
Do you need any type of box for the waste ink. I did see in one of his videos where he had a tube running from the inside of the printer. He never mentioned that you need a waste tank. Do you have a waste tank?
If you are using DTF right away, you don't need to cure. just press it after apply the powder. If you want to store DTF for later, you have to cure the powder. :D
Doris, I love your videos - very informative ❤ I bought myself the Epson 8550 for Christmas and it's still in the box🤦🏾♀️ Guess, I was intimidated with the thought of the conversion process. I also purchased Cadlink and just need the ink, powder and film - the only conversion video that I saw in the beginning was that of Highly Flavored and it was quite expensive especially including the shaker for the ink 👀 Question, do you have any thoughts on the DTF ink, film and powder that Joinus carries? I see that you posted the film from Amazon, but what about the ink and powder? Thank you 😊
How do you shake the white ink, or do you not have to do that using this printer? Do you have a video on clogged ink? I so love the T-shirt by the way!
I have this printer and I have printed about 50 regular copies with the ink that came with the printer. Am I able to remove the ink to use as a dtf printer now?
I've heard that this is No-No. I would Google the best way to do this if I were you. I heard the colors never come out right and I don't want to mislead you.
The thing that scared me the most was the roller bar, got out, but my computer does recognize the printer tomorrow I will try WiFi I really wanted to wire it
Before I did mine, I was scared, too! Afterwards. I felt like it was easier than i had expected. I did want to hardwire mine too, but my computer is not close enough. You got this!
There are different types of DTF powder depending on what outcome you want. They have fine, medium, and coarse. The one I'm using feels like the fabric
Hello, thanks for your video, it helped me a lot when I bought my printer and now I want to print an image but it won't let me upload the saved file, it is an image with a phrase that I added to it, I tried in canvas, powepoint and I don't know how.. ..
Great video! i have been on the fence about getting. just want to make clothing for my girl's. how long does the trail last? also is that the only program that can be used for printer/
I have a video to show the daily maintenance and how to make the 3d boxes on my channel. I love the 8550, It has an external waste tank but I'm not sure yet if I want to switch it up. The image is from Creative Fabrica
I would recommend a print head alignment, you might have to so it a few times. Clean your print head docking station with some alcohol using a paper towel. You might also need to do the shoe shine method underneath the print head. There are several videos on youtube
Just an FYI you dont have to purchase the extra warranty but you do have the epson warranty for one year. IF your printer stops working find an"Authorized Epson Dealer" by you an be honest. Explain to them what you did and they can return it for you and replace it. I promise. The tech charged me 45.00 to remove ink for me and I put back the parts I took out got replacement no problem. Just a little hope y'all. Good luck blessings
TFS... I'm trying to decide if I'm getting the 8550 or xp1500... I have an l1800 and it's the ciss tank😡 a hot mess... So my question is: do you have to worry about shaking the white so it doesn't clog? And do you need a waste tank? Thanks again.... oh and that image where did you get it from🔥... and the boxes are you doing a video for them. 1st time here and loving how you're very detailed❤
I’m get my 8550 tomorrow I put my L1800 in tomorrow’s trash. I hope to have better luck with one, I’m wondering if I can use the prorip software with this…..
what should i do if my colors dont come out right? the color is suppose to be purple and gold but it comes out red and yellow. I printed the one you did and it came out fine
I am not familiar with that code as I have never gotten that before. You might want to google search that error code with the printer type and see what you find.
Seems we should be using eye protection and respirator or dusk mask with DTF powder. Not good getting the fine airborne particles in our eyes and lungs.
@@dorisedwards58 it would smudge sometimes 3 inches into the print it would smudge in different locations but I’ve raised the print head to its highest point and I’ve put blue tape along the length as well so far so good for now I’ve taken a break to calm my nerves

@midnitedrk I buy my ink and powder from American HTV warehouse here locally on Harry Hines, much more reasonable than what he charges, and it's good ink and powder.
Thank you so much for your video! I love how you even showed us how to set up CADLink!
Glad it was helpful! You are so very welcome

Ty so much! I started laughing reading your comment. We always find a reason to get what we want ❤❤❤
I put an ad up on fb marketplace and gave my ink away, felt bad throwing it away
I am so excited for you printing DTF!!! Amazing video Doris!!😊😊
Ty so much! It is was a lengthy process but I tried to get everything in there

This was an awesome tutorial! It turned out absolutely beautiful and you were so thorough. Thank you so much!!🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️
Ty so much Audrey! I tried to answer any questions that might come up.
This doesn't have anything to do with the printer, but those paper boxes in the background...whew they are cute!!! Please tag me in the video if it's already up and posted!
I love the paper purses too and would love to know how you made them
Thanks for this process video. I have been afraid and intimidated about using DTF, but now I'm a bit more comfortable and willing to try it.
Linda I was the same way but I was also tired of being limited. So I finally bit the bullet and I love it. You should really try it!
@dorisedwards58 I plan to! Your video was the first one that I've watched that was very clear, so I see now that the process is not so bad. 😀
@@lindascreativeboutique Some others I saw do it intimated me a bit too. And I didn't break a nail
@@dorisedwards58 😄
I agree! I am going to try dtf using this method. Thanks for sharing! ❤
thank you so much for your help on converting my printer. i got the full version after the trial and not able to print the white underbase anymore no matter how many times i reset ir. did tou have this issue?
No. I didn't have that issue. I'm over 6 months with the full version and that's never happened. Did you go back and confirm all of your settings?
@@dorisedwards58i did and even reset and redid the settings and still 😢
That’s for the information I am purchasing a eco tank 8550 converting to a sublimation , good information keep them videos coming
Ty and will do!
Beautiful! TFS! Excellent job! It is amazing, once you do it, you don’t want to go back!
Absolutely! I'm in love!
@@dorisedwards58 My daughter bought me a DTF printer for Christmas, and between that and rhinestones I can’t quit! Trying to learn embroidery now!
@@sharonlee469 That is awesome! Which printer did you get?
@@dorisedwards58 Epson L805, only regret is the daily maintenance
@@sharonlee469 What do you have to do for that one for daily maintenance?
Do you need any type of box for the waste ink. I did see in one of his videos where he had a tube running from the inside of the printer. He never mentioned that you need a waste tank. Do you have a waste tank?
I'm here with the same question lol
If you are using DTF right away, you don't need to cure. just press it after apply the powder.
If you want to store DTF for later, you have to cure the powder. :D
Awesome Sauce! Ty so much!
Can we print from somewhere else or just from CADlink?
You can use any RIP software, but Cadlink is the cheapest
Excellent tutorial. I'm excited that you did it as well. I'm scared to remove the print rollers, but I'm going to try it. Thank you for sharing.💜💜
It's ok to feel scared, I was too and I did it with the camera rolling. It's really easier than it seems. You got this!
Appreciate this in depth breakdown. Thank you , Im planning to buy the same printer soon and convert for DTF.
Thank you very much! I absolutely love mine, and I've not had any issues.
Saludos, ¿para sacar el rodillo, tuviste que sacar tornillos? Es que no vi que sacaras algún tornillo del rodillo. ¡Excelente!
Awesome!!in the process of purchasing !

What is the largest size print for this printer?
13x19
How do you shake the white ink, or do you not have to do that using this printer? Do you have a video on clogged ink? I so love the T-shirt by the way!
Hows the feel of the print? Similar to vinyl, screen print transfers, or something in between?
The fine dtf powder feels soft and close to the garments feel.
I wanted to double check I can do this on a Mac OSX computer?
Thank you for confirming! I am almost done watching the video. 30 mins left!
According to Google Cadlink is not compatible with Mac OS
Oh okay 😢 is there any software with MAC?
I have this printer and I have printed about 50 regular copies with the ink that came with the printer. Am I able to remove the ink to use as a dtf printer now?
I've heard that this is No-No. I would Google the best way to do this if I were you. I heard the colors never come out right and I don't want to mislead you.
How long will the printer last after you converted for dtf?
The thing that scared me the most was the roller bar, got out, but my computer does recognize the printer tomorrow I will try WiFi I really wanted to wire it
Before I did mine, I was scared, too! Afterwards. I felt like it was easier than i had expected. I did want to hardwire mine too, but my computer is not close enough. You got this!
@@dorisedwards58 I’m up and printing thanks for the video
@@ddeweypink Woohoo! You got this!
With that white base, does it have that vinyl feel more, or does it just feel like the shirt?
Id like as little of a paint texture as possible.
There are different types of DTF powder depending on what outcome you want. They have fine, medium, and coarse. The one I'm using feels like the fabric
Not sure what I need to do but I’m not getting that printing preference on windows 11 settings . can you help
This video was very informative thank you so much I have been looking at doing DTF that won’t cost 5to 9 thousand dollars

How long is the trial for the CadLink software?
30 days
i need to print white t-shirt label for black garment but it doesn't work for me can you share the idea?
Do it gives you any problems I’m considering getting this
I've had it for 3 months now and not 1 problem. I love it!
have you ever got that error that says unknown error and it prints then just stops. ? i keep getting that prints half way then just stops 😢
@@annalei5337 No, I've never gotten that error. I would Google the error message with the printer type and see what you find.
Ms. Dorris, being thinking about u. I pray that all is well 🙏. Missing your videos.
if i bought the direct to film desktop edition am i still able to print on 13-19 shirts ?
I'm not familiar with that, so i don't want to mislead you.

I followed the instructions with you however I got a Port failed message....
why are you removing screws from the machine?
I explain everything I'm doing in the video
I messed up on putting In my ink 😢. I didn’t put my whites together I put them in the PB and PGr
Oh No!
Awesome TUTORIAL!😊
Glad you liked it!
can you use rip 10.0 software i put the inks in mine and the white dont show at all
I've never heard of it. Did you pay for it?
DTG 10.5.3
The white is not printing on the back for me. What should I do?
I would recommend a print head alignment, you might have to so it a few times. Clean your print head docking station with some alcohol using a paper towel. You might also need to do the shoe shine method underneath the print head. There are several videos on youtube
@@dorisedwards58 I did a print head clean and alignment - the white looks great. Could it be something else?
Thank you! AMAZING LESSON!
You are so welcome!

Thank you so much for telling me that! I truly appreciate you!
Crazy me, I purchased the warranty when I bought mine - not thinking that I bought the printer to convert to DTF 😂🤦🏾♀️
@@midnitedrk Don't feel bad, you know now in case you buy other printers to convert
Does if fade when you wash it?
No it doesn't
Thanks
What size is the amazon box?
how is this printer holding up as we speak?
Perfectly! It was such a great buy!

I just 8550 couple month ago. Now it give me 031006 error.
@@dorisedwards58 when i google, it said circuits board fuse damage.
Did you put an external waste tank or just switch out the maintenance box when full
When i try to download cadlink, it sends an error code and times me out
What will keep the white layer from printing? I follow the video and that is where I'm having an issue.
If it is clogged because you're not shaking it everyday
Thanks for info on video, was getting very frustrated
You are very welcome!

Your version and highly flavors contradict each other. He says not to use the Epson v2, yet, you do....I'm more confused now more then ever
I didn't mean to confuse you. I've had my printer over 6 months, and the settings I selected have worked with no issues.

Please use gloves a mask and goggles when using that powder, it’s dangerous
