    Just watched this video, yes it's a little old. Never knew this could be done for a fraction of the cost of dtf printers. My only question is do you have to have some type of software to make it print. I have always only used cricut and printable htv. So was just curious if you have to have anything extra to make the printer correctly print with all the different colors. I currently use an eco tank inkjet to print my htv printable vinyl. and only use my cricut design space for print and cut.

    hi
    been watching your video about converting 8550 into dft. I agree with others I am not ready for it but I did watch about getting chip setter and needing a board to catch the prints. Do you have a video that shows how you made the board thing. I want to see how you made it. I bought the printer instead of the 15000, Office max was out and price matched.
    Thanks for all the learning you are doing and sharing with us, I am late but better than never.
    Thanks in advance and again

    so...how do you shake your ink to not allow it to clog? If it clogs what is the maintenance like? I have another printer that I converted to sublimation and didn't use it for awhile, so I'm now completing maintenance and getting new ink in there. It's an epson eco tank too.

    Do you need to use a certain brand paper and ink to get the best results can you post a video of what you’re settings are on cadlink

    • @CraftableThings
      @CraftableThings  8 місяців тому

      I'm not presently using this printer. However, there are several brands that I have used. Most work the same. Your settings in cadlink will determine the output. I would suggest contacting Cadlink for help setting up and or visit their UA-cam channel.

    Hello there, I enjoyed the video. Do I need to adjust the design to print white where it should print black normally? I hope I asked this right and you understand. I’m waiting to convert but not sure how the design process changes or if at all. Thanks a million. Have an amazing day, and feed someone along the way! #aGODthang 💕

    So I seen a comment on another video saying that this will clog and break the printer in 3 months or so because the dtf in the printer will settle and clog and there is no way to stir it. Can you confirm how long the printer lasted after conversion or how you keep from clogging? Please and thank you. 😊
