I am about to pull the trigger on one that has a dead display. I've found LCD for it pretty reasonable, but do you think I can get by short term without it? Also what's the print speed, shirts per hour and how often are you refilling the ink? Thanks for the video's I was looking at converting a ET-8550 or XT-15000 until I came across your video..
hey using An LCD can be tricky because of some of the functions you need to do like loading and cleaning and even turning on the machine. If you can do these without the screen then go ahead especially if the machine works properly. But I have not tried without a screen so I can't tell you definitively. As far as printing goes it really depends on the size/coverage of the print and but on average A 12X18 sheet should take about 7 minutes to print And with refilling the ink once again it depends on the volume you're doing but And the type of Prints you are printing because some use more inks than others. but I would say on average I would refill the cases every 1 to 1.5 weeks With moderate daily printing
Exactly the kind of info I was looking for! Any groups you would recommend joining as I start my DTF journey? I've been tinkering with sublimation for a while but DTF is a whole new animal. Thanks for the speedy reply, I know you are busy man!@@p800guy4

Thanks a lot for watching yes I use my printer on roll mode I had a lot of trouble when I initially set it up so I will be posting a video on how I got mine to work soon To spare people the headaches I went through :)
For the chipless software do the refillable carts need to have the Epson original chips on them. Or whatever chip the refillable carts come with are fine?

All the steps are in the video the only step that is not there is priming the ink and inserting the ink into the printer I will probably do another video with that soon
Good afternoon sir. Quick question. Is the 1st black cartridge you have in the printer just an empty cartridge to fill the space and is it needed in order to print?
@@p800guy4 i am asking because i see a p807 on a buy and sell here in my country. im just quite hesitant to buy it because im not quite sure if they are the same. i just want to ask also if the inkchip will still work on p800 even if the screen is already asking for new cartridge and if i wont have any problem installing the firmware. thanks in advance
Hey I custom made the tray, as far as ink us concern I just keep them in the bottles I've never really had any issues but I do make sure I clean the machine every day
When you say you clean the machine every day do you mean you print something out every day or do you do a head clean ? Sorry I’m learning all this and trying to get it right
Hey my man, I have the P800 as well what oven do you recommend I use to cure the ink and also how long should I let it dry before placing powder on it ?
Hey hope all is well on your journey. I have another video where I am curing film. If you are doing it from home I would definitely recommend the one that I use in that video. I was using my regular convention oven for a while but the smoke and fumes that it creates is definitely not healthy. I would definitely recommend you have good air circulation where you are as well and some kind of smoke vacuum to get as much smoke as possible Also you can apply powder to the ink as soon as it's printed if you want to ( I have let mine sit as long as 8 hours at 1 point 😅) But any time in between his work for me hope that helps
@@p800guy4 thanks a lot for the prompt response! I will checkout the video today and also I do it on my balcony out side do you think I’ll still need some sort of vacuum since I’m outside ?
@@Chillmusicdet np...and yea the balcony being outside is better than the confined space of inside. my only concern on the balcony is the wind as the ink on the film is so delicate any wind blow could make the film touch parts if the heater/oven messing it up...but hey, I you know the method all power to you 😉 as for if you still need the vacuum you would have to answer that for yourself...are you inhaling smoke while curing? if so the I would recommend. As this DTF technology is still very early and it's usage and no long term research has been concluded on the effects of inhaling this stuff. So while it may not be I have heard some stories about what is actually in the powder and let's just say it's better to be safe than sorry.
@@p800guy4 hey Thanks for the last response I have one other question…. So I purchased a used P800 that only used the original ink, is there any other way I can flush it without using two sets of carts??? I bought one set but on a tight budget and trying to get this DTF thing going so I could begin sales
@@p800guy4 thanks a lot for your answer! okey with seperate cartridges that contain cleaning liquid. And when do i need a seperat container for excess paint? I saw on some videos they added a separate container.
I've never had to use an extra container myself so I wouldn't know enough be able to comfortably speak on that. But from what I have seen from others it is usually used for people who do higher volume who want to not purchase ink as much so they buy larger off brand containers and attach them to the printer
Can the conversion be done without using cleaning fluid to flush the original ink out of the printer? (So load DTF inks in new cartridges and run a few head cleans to flush new ink though the lines) Or will the old ink and DTF ink clog in the printhead if now flushed out?
@@andrewr6313 hmm...if you are going to try and using the same cartridges make sure all the solution has been drained out and the cartridges are dry before putting the ink. or just wait a couple more days and get a wnd set these machin are super sensitive and in skipping steps you are inviting trouble 🚩🚩🙃🧯🧯
Is that the Epson Roll feeder or an aftermarket one? Also, the software that makes it chipless for $60, is that to reset the waste ink counter or for the ink cartridges? Thanks......
Legit question, why bother with surecolor P800 which is super expensive and it is not ink tank by default and not go with a cheaper ink printer that can be converted easily. I know this has more ink colors but do you really need all that for fabric prints? Epson L1800 seems to the sweet spot for this purpose.
I just converted my Epson SC P800 to DTF. Everything was going smooth until I started test printing. The ink starts to smear about a 1/4 of the way through printing. Not sure what settings I should be using in ACRORIP 10.5.1 Printer prints nozzle checks just fine. Any suggestions?
it smears on the sheet? it could be the tray you are using ensure it is flat, smooth and aligned to where the paper is coming out. other than that I'm not really sure
