- In this video, I set up and use a DTF printer that I received from ProColored. The model is the A4. They also have an A3 which prints larger film. Use the code MAKINGWITHMARILYN for a discount ($80 as of when I uploaded the video). ProColored is having a nice sale during the month of August 2023 also.

Great DTF Set Up Video • Procolored DTF Printer...
You are wonderful. Thank you for sharing this video. After watching I finally got everything correct with my DTF printer L805. Thanks again🙏🏽
@@marydeberry3348 I’m so glad it was helpful!!!
Kim’s talking the ink looks pretty easy.
Your shirt is beautiful. I love watching how the DTF printer printed the design. Keep us posted with how you like it.
I'm going to be making several shirts or other items with it over the next few weeks before the sale goes off. Thanks so much for watching!
@@MakingwithMarilyn ok I will be watching.
Blessings to you for investing in your business
They sent it to me to try out. I was about to bite the bullet and buy one when they reached out.
@@MakingwithMarilyn fantastic!
My goodness!!! You got a ALL! I’m SO HAPPY for you!!!
Wow they really set you up with everything you need to get started. This is awesome and the design looks good. The shirt came out Perfect 🤩 Queen!
Thank you Unbiased. Yes, they really did. Have been thinking about buying one for almost a year:)
Bless you Marilyn! That was quite the process to set up the printer. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you Carolyn!
Congratulations 🎊🎉 on the new DTF PRINTER and promotion Queen. This printer is huge. Wow.
Congratulations on your new DTF printer. It is my next major purchase I will be making. I cannot wait for all your future videos using your DTF printer. You are such a good teacher and I love your style!
Thank you so much!!! I will be making several videos using it over the next month. I hope you are doing well.
Congratulations on new printer. I think I would have gave up when setting up. That was a lot of work. Happy you got it working. Have fun with it. Love watching your videos because you give details and instructions for how to set up and use. Thanks you for sharing with us.
Thank you very much! I’m not real tech savvy so was pretty nervous but it all worked out 🙂 Thanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. I do try to include all the information that I would want to see in a video to get me through a project.
I want one 🎉❤ I am so excited to learn
I am excited to learn more also:) So far, it's been great, but I want to see more prints from it.
The design is so cute. I really like the updated printer and oven.
Thank you Latricia!
Hey 👋 hey 👋 Queen. Love your shirt.
Thanks Unbiased!
Awesome Unboxing Marilyn!💪🏽🎉💯💛🙏🏽

Wow! That is amazing. I love watching your videos.
Thank you so much! It was a really long video, but I wanted to show everything that might help someone set it up.
Congratulations on your new DTF ❤❤❤
Congratulations on your DTF printer!

Thank you Tracey!
Hi Marilyn
That’s a very nice print quality!
I definitely learned a lot more about printers after setting this up and operating it for the last week or so. Thank you so much for watching! I will be making more videos with it very soon.
Great vid Marilyn!! Hi Tim ❤
Nice do you have to print daily to keep the ink from clogging or is this not the printer that clogs up. Have a blessed day.
DTF printers are more prone to clogging due to the white ink. It is not as thin and watery as the colors. This printer has an ink stirring feature and a heater. I just got it up and running a couple days ago, but have been printing a small one-inch square design each day until I know more about the qualities of DTF printing.
I love DTF
I am pretty sure I am going to love it also!!! Thanks ShugLuv!
WOW! I am so glad to see this video. Thanks for sharing. You made it look so easy to use. Will you let us know how well the print holds up for washing and drying? I am sure it will be fine but would like to hear your thoughts.
I sure will! I have a dtf shirt that I made using a dtf transfer I received and it has held up very well, so I feel like it will hold up well also.
Very, very great video and a huge thank you and my two thumbs up for it XD I got the same one but was told I needed an ICC profile in addition to the software etc.??? Where can you get something like that since the printer was already very expensive ;(
My printer came with the software and I didn’t set up an ICC profile. Sorry I can’t help you with your issue.
Hi Marilyn..I have watched this video a million times as I wait for mine to arrive. Do you have to have a dedicated printer for this printer....I mean can you use it with wifi or not?
I'm not sure if you can use it with wifi b/c I always just hook my computer up to it. I'm loving the printer, though! It was intimidating to me to set it up, but I got through it okay. Good luck with your new toy when it arrives!
Did you do a weekly maintenance tutorial I’m so glad I found your channel I’m wearing my first shirt thanks to you…..
Thank you! I have not but should figure that one out. I have just been putting a paper towel down into the machine to soak up the extra ink. Thanks for the reminder!
🙌🏽🙌🏽YAY new toy TFS
Thanks for watching, Nicole!!!
WOOW...ANOTHER NEW TOY.
Hi Stacey!!! Thanks for watching.
You CAN use a Mac with these 😁 Macs come pre installed w something called “boot camp.” It allows you to download windows software on your Mac and lets you switch between the 2. (You can’t use both at same time but you switch between them.) It’s not hard to do just a little intimidating. However Mac makes it simple and walks u through the entire process.
I thought the same as you at first until I dug a bit deeper into it and read about boot camp. 😁
Thanks so much for letting us know about that. That is great news!
@@MakingwithMarilyn sure! Happy to help. Thank you for your tutorials they’re very helpful!
@@MakingwithMarilynthought to add to this is that for anyone doing this the only thing you need to do is purchase a windows product key after doing the boot camp. (Or else you won’t be able to rip/print it.) Just thought to add this incase anyone’s looking into doing this. But it works perfectly on a Mac this way. ❤

Thanks Uni!!!
Hey Marilyn, I am looking to get this printer but not sure of which one you are working with. I want the L1800, does it comes in the A4 version.
I have the L805, which is the smaller A4 size. The L1800 is very similar but prints on wide format film. I don't think it comes in the smaller A4 size.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Thanks Marilyn, I was a little confused about the different numbers. I appreciate your respond. Love your channel
I’m just curious, do any brands on ink work with procolored printers?
I really don't know but I assume other brands of DTF ink would work. I would probably ask their customer service though. Thank you for watching!
Are you normally supposed to use the syringes with the ink?
Some people that have tanks with large openings just dump it straight from the bottle. I was able to use the funnels for all but the white ink. The tubes took up so much space I used the syringes for it.
So I just set my printer up and everything is working great. The issue I am having is when I go to insert picture it brings me to an empty folder. None of my pics saved to my computer are coming up. Do you know what may be causing this? Thank you!
Are your pictures png images or another acceptable format for dtf? I save my svgs as pngs and then they show up as being usable.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Thank you for such a quick response. Yes I have them saved to my computer as png files but nothing is coming up. Also when I go to print I keep getting a failure and it doesn't print. Currently watching more videos to see what I am doing wrong.
All 5 lights are blinking on my startup and won’t cut off any advice ?
I'm sorry, but I don't know what that would mean. I would unplug the machine and start it back up, but I don't know that that will actually do anything. Which brand do you have? Have you reached out to the distributor/manufacturer?
You didnt adjust no paint settings to go on the black sweater?
No, I just made sure I had two white base coat layers.
@@MakingwithMarilyn thanks!
Congrats on your new printer!
Thank you Sharon!
Marilyn would you recommend it? It did seem to be a little complicated.
@@sharonlee469 all the DTF videos I watched required the pulling of ink and having the rip software in the computer while using the printer. I felt a bit overwhelmed b/c I was so stressed:) Regarding the actual printer, I used it for the first time yesterday so I don't feel like I have used it enough yet. But I will say that there was nothing about its quality that would make me say to stay away from it. I like that it has the ink agitating system and the heater.
@@MakingwithMarilyn ok I would love one because I really enjoy DTF. Enjoy it!
@@sharonlee469 stay tuned to the channel b/c I plan to use it several times in videos over the next few weeks. I should know more about it then.
Hi I'm trying to set up the same printer, I'm very new to dtf, I placed my ink in the cartridges but when I tried to do a print test no ink is coming out, please help I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. Thanks
Did you pull the ink through the tubes with the syringes?
@@MakingwithMarilyn I think this is where I'm confused . I've looked for the video where I I fill the sack, I have 1805 and I can't find the video showing where I take the tubes out for the syringe,
@@audreygaskings2367 there's a couple of good videos linked under my video also. One of them might help.
@@MakingwithMarilyn thank you!
does the printer need to stay on 24-7
I leave mine on 24/7 because it has an auto mix system to keep the white inks "healthy".
🎉Congratulations on trying true DTF printing!
Thank you so much!!! I am so excited and I absolutely LOVE the Fine DTF powder from Yamation!
@@MakingwithMarilyn Can't wait for you to try more of our DTF products!☺
⚠️ you cannot own a DtF printer and cricket and the same time! You are in violation of craft ordinance 755. Please forward DTF machine to me at once to avoid crafting jail 🛑 😂😂😂
you are so cray cray and I love it!!!
Hey every time I click print it jus throws all the ink all over the paper, reach back to me if you have a solution🙏🏻
I haven’t heard of that so would reach out to Procolored. Is it throwing all colors? I’m wondering if a hose isn’t quite tight or leaking. z
you need to stop getting new toys......I just ordered this!!!!! but your code did not work...maybe cause they are offering another $200 off.
That could be, Jackie! Thank you for letting me know.
