If the process is done correctly, there will be no fading and should hold up well. My understanding from some of the people that have been in the industry a while is the ink holds up as long as traditional screen printing. I have several shirts and hoodies I have printed that have been through many washes and I have not noticed any cracking or discoloring yet!
If garment is pretreated & cured correctly, it should last for at least 30. We have shirts that have been washed over 50 times and sometimes in hot water and they still look good. I also have some that didn’t hold color as long and it’s because I didn’t pretreat well.
How do you set up x2 white passes, I'm using Cadlink digital factory v10. Great vids BTW, I'm struggling getting vibrant colours with dtg on my 2100 but dtf are great, pretty frustrating at times.
Not sure on cadlink but on kothari you can toggle a second white pass. I think this may be an option on the higher level prints in garment creator. Otherwise, you can stop the print after the first white and re-print with a second white and cmyk. Not ideal but a bit of a work around.
Hey, good morning sir. Very 9ce, good and interested work. I have a DTG EPSON L800 SERIES. can you please help me on how to install and operate it? Thanks alot sir...
I use Kothari (similar to Equipment Zone's EZ RIP) and occasionally Garment Creator depending on the project. Allegedly the RIP software save money but the main reason I find myself using it is because the settings allow you get better dialed in and is a bit easier to use once you learn it.
Thanks for the tips! Just wondering what kind of pretreatment you use for the hoodie? Especially when it’s a blend. Did you use dark polyester? Or dark cotton pretreatment? Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! These hoodies are 100% cotton on the outside which is why I prefer to use them. Because of this, I use my regular dark pretreat for it. I recommend Firebird FBX-100 Gen 3 or Creek Dark/Universal pretreat!
@@LovesBranding you can use any dark pretreat formula for a dark garment as long as it has 50% or more cotton. Some people use half polyester/half cotton pretreatment. I tried it before and see no difference in the result between that concoction and dark cotton pretreatment.
@@nothgir Correct, I've done some testing even including tri-blends and have been able to get good results. It all depends on getting good pretreat. For the highest quality prints, I always recommend 100% cotton but its very possible to get good results on 50/50 or other blends.
You don't need to do a double white but for hoodies, I think it makes the color pop a bit more. This is automatically turned on/off with the higher levels. With a rip software, you can toggle this separately.
Yeah it takes quiet some time, but I guess for artistic limited editions and outstanding quality, this is just the right way to go. I used to go for DTF and it’s got some advantages about speed and no pretreat. How about the maintenance of your epson DTG printer? I heard that you gotta keep these kind of machines running 24/7 to avoid cloggings..?
😂 We did the run on some shirts for a customer and I wanted to test it on a hoodie to show him. There's always room to put in more work if they're willing to pay 😁
Nice work 👍🏿
Thank you 😊
Been looking for a video that prints over the pocket 🦾🦾
Hope it helps!
Outstanding result. How does the ink looks after 10 washes or more?

Alright, so you have an embroidery room and one printing room. Any other rooms that might be interesting to know of? 😄
Not yet 😅I keep my computer in my bedroom so I guess technically that would be my 'office'

Hi! Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with the L800, perhaps there are some other videos that may help or communities on Facebook that may be useful

Hey! What did you put under the hoodie for hight difference?
Hi, I talk about this at around 5:25. For this platen, I have the plexiglass risers that slot into the platen

The only way you get it to print two layers of white is level 6?

@@LovesBranding I use garment creator for my f2100 i appreciate you
@@VeezTeez I believe with garment creator, the only way to toggle two layers is with the level 6 print option.
Am I understanding that the platen height was at 6?
For the hoodie, I had to remove one of the spacers so it is much lower than 6 to make enough space for the pocket to go inside the machine
@@LovesBranding thanks.
Link your laptop stand
Here's the stand: amzn.to/3nsCxMc
And this is the piece I use to hold the laptop on the stand: amzn.to/42IB98x
Great Quality print but the process is too long . The Quality of the print is outstanding though. I'm torn.
I agree, definitely some pros and cons to the process!

Please tell me this was for yourself. There's no way in hell you'd be doing all this work for a production run on each garment 😬
