    Thank you so, so, so, so, so much!!! I'm trying to start a t-shirt business but I'm REALLY on a shoestring budget and have been searching for more affordable ways to get DTF prints without spending so much on printing services that of course charge insane shipping rates. Not until now do I think I actually have a chance to get things rolling. Again, thank you so much!

      did you start your business? how is it going for you? I'm scared because I actually thought putting money in one machine but I guess that's not the case, I guess it is a couple of them right? specially if you are doing from home ! ( i wanted to start a event ballons/decor business that could incluse t shirts ?

      So did you modify your inkjet printer at all ? I'm going to get the Epson XP 15000 do I need to do any maintenance on it to do this DTF hack ? I've watched a lot of videos and they are not clear on if they are using the printer right out the box or not.

  • @mikerodrick2430
    @mikerodrick2430 8 місяців тому

    I've always used pigment ink for t-shirts because it dries almost immediately so you don't have to worry about smearing & it also washes better. The downside is that the ink isn't as bright as standard inkjet but it's not by much. Not all printers use pigment ink & the one I've always used is Epson because most come with pigment ink but it's best to check the printer model. It may also be known as "archival." I also use it to print everything else I've printed because of the permanence of the ink especially for things like bumper stickers or anything that will get wet; rain etc.

    I enjoyed this. & What canon brand is the one in the video? Can I also use a Canon pixma pro-100? I need your honest review about the pro-100 please.

    Does this work with any DTF film? Does this really work with inkjet? Why does everyone buy DTF printers or convert theres if this is the case?
