You make everything look easy, I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing.
Why do you only answer the questions when someone is giving you a compliment or don't you know the answer?
So glad I found your channel
thank you so much for your videos.....amazing information
Glad you like them! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing as I have Epson 8550 and good to know 😀 Thanks 😊
Thanks so much for watching!
Alright now 8550...thank you for sharing..
Hey girl hey 💕💕💕
In the beginning of your video you showed the before you left print… the streak with missing ink…
Does this happen often with the 8550? I’ve noticed in some of your earlier videos that there’s streaks as well. I’m thinking of converting my printer to dtf but don’t want to if it’s going to put out bad prints constantly. Thank you for your videos!!!
Awesomeness as usual!! 💥
Thanks, girl!!!
Thank you thank you!
Love your videos!!! I do my first print tomorrow after I setup cadlink . I have everything I need and setup an area in my garage! Excited
YAY!!!! Thank you & Congratulations!
where do you get the chip resetter
@@CraftableThings
does the printer come with the resetter? You video was very helpful. I am waiting on my printer to be delivered
Good video thanks ❤
Hi, your video is very good.
I'm from Brazil and I'm wanting to start in DTF.
Does the 8550 give you a lot of maintenance work, head cleaning or does it work great?
do you have a video on the curing and what oven we need?
Thank you
hey hun, do you have a video that shows how to set up external waste? thank you
Happy Sunday all. 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
🎉🎉Congrats on the #3 spot on 755media Monday Mentions 7/11🎉🎉🎉😊💜
Thank you, SACC 💕
EPSON ET8550 on sublimation and DTF are same kind of ink as the other one sublimation link and DTF ink ? It’s a great idea to convert save my money to get very expensive dtf
Hi new sub here...I've caught a couple of your videos about the 8550 and like this one I found them very informative. Thank you for that.
However, it seems this machine hasn't given you any issues commonly found in varies other DTF conversions so you confused me on not recommending it. 😕
I purchased one not long ago and thru my research using a reliable CISS kit with Dampers is rather common on converted machines along side the recommended maintenance guides you already give to your viewers. That's the road I'm taking, no turning back now
Thanks again! (Sorry for the novel) 😂
What size tube do you use for the maintenance tank?
Thanks for the video! I would love to convert a printer to print with the white back ground.
I believe you have a few different types converted printers. Out of them, which type of ink/print process is your favorite and why?
would also love to know the answer.. and cant you use sublimation ink or does it have to be dtf
@@jrl9319 She only replies when you give her a compliment so refrase the question with a phony compliment and she might answer.
Nice. What time and temp did you press on your shirt?
Thanks for sharing since I am starting my road with 8550.
How is your printer doing. I was going to invest but, from the videos I saw , its not maintenance is more like fixing issues. I'm a bit confused. Is maintenance or fixing every other day? Everyday? Ty
Hi! I just got the 8550 printer. And converted it into a DTF but I can't get it to print the white. Please Help
Why do you need an external waste tank? Can you just empty into the waste tank and empty that out when you need to reset it?
Does the ink layout matter because I can't get the black to print its printing like a blueish grey color in place of the black, but my ink layout is b,w,c,y,m,w and I'm using acrorip 10.5
would dark color paper or cardstock serve the same purpose as the tape?
You don’t need to shake the white? Because that’s the only thing holding me back from doing the conversion to this printer!
Hi, I love your videos. I have a question. I have the ET 15000 and the 8550. I chose the 8550 because the ET 15000 kept reading that “special code”. My question is can you do the power cleaning every 12 hours since we can’t shake the cartridges… I print daily but I want to make sure the white stays active
❤️
hey girl!!!
Buy a 7/64" hose and it won't leak. I use a clamp but it's not needed. My maintenance box doesn't get any ink in it.
What if I don’t have a external tank i just empty it and reset it?
Why would you not recommend for transfers? Is there a reason.great video.thanks.
it takes a long time to print. Industrial/Commercial printers work best for transfers.
Hello , how do I order the tube and and set it up
Are you still using the printer? Working ok?
Very nice what is the channel you said to check out? Digital factory cadlink? There are many channels with some of those words not sure which you were referring to thanks
What did you mean when you said don’t get this printer if you want to do transfers? Don’t you do transfers direct to film? To do your shirts and other items? Yes I’m starting to get into this DTF thing so I’m definitely a noob
I'm thinking about getting this printer. In your experience is it not a good idea to get this if you don't use it daily?
definitely not a good idea if you don't have time to print or do print head cleanings and other maintenance daily.
i keep on getting a popup print error: white (empty)my ink is full can u help plz thank u
What do you think a massage gun on a low setting for the “daily shaking “
That could possibly work. I know someone who uses one.
I need help, my printer is saying 031006 after I did 2 power cleans. Where can I get parts for the printer ?
Your printer is dead
I’m having a problem with the paper jam error. I tried all the treats they say to do . Do you have any other solution?
Hi Sonya! I'm not sure what you've tried yet. I only put a strip of painter's tape across the top of the film. That usually does the trip for me.
Im getting the jam nothin is working
What maintenance routine did you do prior to leaving
I printed a sheet on live the night before I left. That's it and that's not really maintenance. For the past 3 months, all I've been doing it running power cleans if something doesn't look right and that fixes the problem. I print almost every day. I occasionally shake the desk that the printer is on.
hello whats the tube thats hanging out?
Do i have to have the tube?
Hey Charmaine!!! Are you getting this printer or another printer?
I was looking up the printer and it said max I think 8x14 but you were using 13x19 and it worked ok? I be so worried about wasting money on the film lol
You probably looked up the 8500
could you print some print then power clean it. and leave it alone for a week or so and then use it again?
not without additional maintenance before printing again.
so as long as i run one print a day with white I should be good?
Hello Everyone!
Hey SweetRose!!!
How much do you have to print everyday to avoid this?
Hello, i got this printer for eco solvent do you think i going to have the same problems on the future?
Yes. The ink clogs. You will need to do daily maintenance.
@@CraftableThings thank you so much for answer my question I appreciate, do you think if I print 1 sheet in the morning and 1 sheet in the night on the day that I'm not using it working for prevent that problem or I gonna need to do that maintenance still and if you cat help me how I can do that maintenance please I appreciate so much
How often should you print to prevent this?
She don't answer questions, only accepts praise for nothing
You said you don't recommend this printer for selling transfers, can you explain why?
The speed and wear and tear for starters.
@@CraftableThings what printer recomendable fast print ?
did you need to mix the white inks everyday or you don't have to?
Yes, you need to shake and do a print head cleaning daily.
Where did you get your chip resetter
a.co/iDdMqWk this is the exact one I ordered. they are usually out of stock.
@@CraftableThings thanks so much madam
Where did you get that chip resetter from?
a.co/iDdMqWk
Is this printer the same as Epson 8550 ET Photo?..
yes, it is.
What is the tube ? Where can I get it ?
The tube is for the external waste tank I made. You can get it on Amazon.
Hello does this need RIP software?
Yes
I need help before I throw my new ET-8550 in the trashhhhhh
converted printers are a waste of money own the long run.
Not really
