I love that everything is going well with the Ricoh Ri 1000
So glad it’s no longer an issue!!!!
I am new into this and i just saw a video from you that was like 1 year old and let me tell you, man you have improved like a looot in just 1 year!!! I don't know you and this was just the second video I have ever saw from you but i'am proud of you, congrats!!! Keep it up
🙏🏾 Thank you. I appreciate it.
That is awesome. So happy everything worked out in your favor.
I’m glad your machine is working. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏾
You and I both. I been stressed for the last few days trying to figure it out. All my fault. I’m gonna make a detailed video so no one has to go threw the stress I did. Image spending 18k and thinking you got a broken machine but the reality is your just not doing something right. Smh. I got it fit $4500 but still. Was a very stressful experience.
Where you got that for $4500????
Nice to see the machine working great.
I have a woodworking business and your video makes me want one of those machines. haha!
❤️❤️❤️ it’s good that you didn’t waist money on it and it was a good investment
Yes indeed Lala. Thank you love.
Love DTG machines. It might not be ideal for all but it's amazing to some.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 ‼️ Thats all I gotta say! . You are the man Adubb! I’m so theristy for more. Job well done.
Thank you. 🙏🏾 More to come. We are not done yet.
You had me stressed out over here and it ain’t even my machine glad everything is 🏋️♀️ working out AAAADUUUUB 👍🏽
Man that machine looks nice! I know you are loving it!
I’m glad you figured it out!
Thank you bro. Yes indeed. I love this thing.
Hey fam I have a opening on the 12th of next month. Why don’t you come on and talk about it! You know it’s gone be 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let’s do it.
Thx bro! I just need a way to send a link!
Wowwww that came out bada**. Congratulations on your new investment. Thanks for another informative video. God bless
Just bought a used one yesterday for just $2000. White line is a little clogged and I need to figure out how to clean it. This is my first and I don’t even know where to start. I hope to learn here.
Nice work 👏 man, all love from Dominica 🇩🇲
I love your videos, thank you so much!!!😊
U can use the image saved on machine once u print and don’t need usb in thx for vextor link appreciate videos
No problem and thank you for the tip.
Let’s gOOOOOO, knew you’d figure it out!!
I was feeling so bad for you. So glad it worked for you!
I’m not gonna lie. It had me feeling defeated mentally. It was all me. I just didn’t know what I was doing. It’s fine now.
@@adubbproductions where did you buy it from?
OfferUp
Congratulations again on your new machine, so happy for you, I have a ricoma em 1010 on the way to my home ,I apologize I forgot to use your link to help you out ,my bad
Hey Rene. It’s ok. It’s just a request you are not obligated and we all forget. Would have been nice but it’s perfectly fine. I’ll be making a lot more content in the em-1010. Those are my babies. Lol be patient with it. Really focus on understanding tension. Once you master it your machine is gonna sing while making items back to back. Walk away when you get frustrated. Contact Ricoma customer support if you can’t find information online and you will be fine.
@@adubbproductions Thank you Allan, I find your tips and tricks in your video's refreshing, you keep it Real and you don't edit out your mistakes, a rare thing to find now a days I faithfully follow your video's and have joined your website ,I'm impressed by your knowledge and your willingness to help others
God knows I was happy when I saw the thumbnail 😂🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hello A Dubb: I love your theme song! Lol
Thank you. 🙏🏾
I see the same machine on my offerup for 1.4k. I so tempted to pull the trigger cuz it seems like such a good deal but idk if it has any problems.
Be careful. I was lucky. I wouldn’t t trust it that low. Take like three people with you and don’t send any money in advance.
I Need This Machine.!
It really is the bomb if you got the business.
Congratulations bro
A-Dubb your stuff looks amazing always, so on a shirt that size what height a width did you use
Awesome!
Right. Love it.
Great Video! Motivation
Thank you Allan, great video. Would you comment on your experience with the printer head? I have seen lots o videos complaining about how the white color clogs. Would be awesome to hear about your experience. TIA
Yes. Absolutely. So having the Dtg for maybe close to a year now my white has never got clogged but I understand how it can happen. Logically I think there are two reasons why any one that has the printer’s print head can get clogged. 1. If you turn your machine off for a period of time with the lines and print head full of ink it will clog.
2. If the humidity or temperature is not right (to cold in the area you are keeping the machine your print head can get clogged. (Gotta keep the humidty (warmth up).
3. I think people run out of white ink and go for sometime without putting new white ink in causing the print head to get clogged.
When you leave the printer on (which you are supposed to do at all times unless you drained all the ink out and have cleaning solution in the lines) the ink circulates periodically on its own. The machine pushes ink ink the waste container. So the ink is continuously moving so the lines don’t get clogged. As long as the inks don’t get cold and solidify it will move just fine.
If the ink stays still to long maybe a two weeks to a month it can start to solidify.
from winter to summer I notice a significant difference in the way my printer acts and performs. In the winter I had to do more maintenance and clean the printers more often. Every 6 shirts I had to wipe off the print head. In the summer when the room got warmer I was knocking out shirts back to back non stopped and the pretty much don’t have to clean the heads. I did a live the other day and I did about idk 15 or so shirts. After the live I did a bunch more. The variable is the warmth in the air. The way the ink reacts to temperature. Keep your printer warm and you will be fine. I purchased a little greenhouse for this winter with a small heater. It’s a lot but now that I know how the printer behaves I know how to treat it and don’t have to worry about it getting clogged. Do you daily maintenance. I do mine every other day or every three days because I’m familiar with what it’s gonna do relative to the temperature. But do you daily and weekly and monthly maintenance and you will be fine. The one key thing is keep your oriented warm and keep ink in the lines so it can circulate. If you are going away for over three weeks out cleaning solution in and you can turn it off. Do those things and you’ll be good. Keep it warm. One more thing. If you don’t have the business for it, don’t get it. You’ll be wasting ink. When times are slow print up the shirts that sell the most so you are not wasting inks. Print up a few of those popular shirts when you don’t have business because the ink is use it or lose it. How that helps. Oh and use my affiliate link when and if you buy it. 😁💪🏾👍🏾
@@adubbproductions thank you so much for sharing your experience, it has helped me a lot to understand it all. I am thinking of starting my small business and your videos have clarified so many questions I have/had.
Awesome. Very glad I can help. Understanding these different machines and what they can do and their limitations are key. Good luck. My pleasure.
@@adubbproductions what would you say is the average of ink drawn out in a year during the cleaning process? Plus an average you can print from idk 500ml bottles set? Thank you very much
I can’t wait for the experiment with other clothing other than shirts.
You know it’s coming. I think I’m gonna experiment with denim very very soon.
Dope. Help me with this (I trust your opinion) DTG with a Ricoh or DTF with my SG500? Or sell the SG500 and get something else? Been looking into the DTG X2 and a Ricoh but I already have Easy Subli with my SG500. Appreciate any help and insight boss!
That print is So clean ! I definitely want another tshirt but from the ricoh . Is there anything available in your store right now? I have to go check out the store. Looks amazing bro
Question, can you pre treat the tee's and set them aside? Like an assembly line, get them ready and when the time comes, pull them out to fill an order...
Yes you can. I am going to do a video on how long a pre treated shirt can be shelved. That would be a good video. Thank you.
Wow!! You make me want to take a gamble.
If you don’t have the business for it then don’t do it. Wait till you get steady customers then it will be worth it. This thing drinks ink and if your not consistently selling shirts your gonna lose all day everyday. I love it though.
@@adubbproductions Oh my...the ink issue smh
Awesome! By the way I'm also getting an offer on the exact same dtg printer. Do you really recommend it? It was actually cleaned out and stored. But hasn't been used? No clogged. What's your experience with the rihco so far? Thanks for your reviews man! Keep it up
WOW
Insane bro.
How was it $4500? Did you buy it used? I got a quote for the Ri 1000 from Ricoh for $15k. Thank you!
I have one for sale 8k low prints
You look like Darrell Green....The football player
I always get Adrian Patterson. That’s the first time I got him.
Do u find it easy to operate the machine
What’s the table name and link?
❤️💪🏾
Hey you.
how do you make the colors pop? for some reason when I use spring/nright colors they don't come out as they should any tips/tricks?
Make sure you have your color profile set to CMYK in your graphic design software then I just export high res .png and print at almost default settings. I turn it to very fine, use document transparency, select dark or light shirt and send to print.
What type of paper(brown) did you place on top of the shirt during pretreatment?
Where did you get a Ricoh Ri 1000 for $4500? Because I need 1
Here is how I got it.
ua-cam.com/video/6H-vj6_r67M/v-deo.html
Good content. Can you do a video with the rip software you use? I have a Ri1000 and use Colorgate PS21 and for some reason when I do my settings, always goes dimmer that what I wanted.
Yes. I’ll do a video on colorgate.
@@adubbproductions awesome. Appreciate it that, looking forward to it, might be designing in wrong app but will see how to video. There isn’t many videos on Colorgate to help customers understand it.
I was told that colorgate produces pretty accurate colors. So far it has for me. You can also bump up saturation and adjust settings on the software before sending to rip.
@@adubbproductions what software do you use to design your images?
Adobe illustrator or adobe photoshop primarily. Mostly illustrator.
Colograte is good, BUT, its clunky. It's not really a rip for DTG. It's more of a wide format rip that was slightly modded to work. If you want to REALLY power the machine up and pull out its best, I suggest CADlink! It's a damn impressive rip.
Thank you much I’ll definitely look into it. I’m trying to figure out how to get this thing to do dtf.
Friendddd omg where did you get your shirt organizer?
I got then from the container store friend. They sell them on amazon to though. I you wanna use my affiliate link to get some. Shirt oganizer amzn.to/3pDs1RA
@@adubbproductions Of course I’ll use your link when I purchase. That goes without question, you do know the knowledge you give us is powerful!
🙏🏾 so refreshing to hear someone say that. A-lot of people don’t understand that information is empowering and the most valuable thing you can receive. Thank you friend. 😁
Hey man, so I know dtg is kinda complicated I do ebrything in my garage and want to get one but it’s really hot on there. Is that a problem ?
I think it might be but I’m not sure. My dtg performs best in the heat. They recommend that you keep the humidity in the room between 45-80%. If you can somehow measure what the humidity is in your garage you can determine if that would be a good area to keep it.
When you are ready to inquire about it or make your purchase don’t forget to use my Ricoma affiliate link. Ricoh DTG link Ricoh Ri1000 Affiliate Link ricoma.com/US/referral/dtg/allan-wade
@@adubbproductions how can I measure that?
Use my Amazon affiliate link and type in hygrometer. That’s what you need to measure the humidity. amzn.to/2XAd7JS
@@adubbproductions my garage is probably 90% so not sure if that’s to hot. What do you think?
its 14k now
And the one I got for $4500 is still up and running.
@@adubbproductions people say it's kinda finiky to work with this dtg printer. What is your experience
@@KALKIi108 everyone is afraid of dtg printers and they should be. Dtg printers are by far the most difficult types of garment decorating equipment to maintain. It has been years since I first started using dtg but mine is still up and running however, if maintenance and trouble shooting is not your thing then this is not what you want. Occasionally these printers do give hi and error message or something weird happens requiring to turn it off and back on again to clear. These things are difficult to maintain, it is not a walk in the park but years later and me knowing how the machines act it’s easy to me. But a new person, yea. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. It does get easier when you know how to deal with the printer though. It’s easy to me.
I am Still debating since there’s a lot of people saying get the epson one, but some people closer to my place sells them for $7k and the other one she said it prints white all over. So i am not sure if that’s gonna be worth it? And also it still have warranty till this December
Either one and you will be good. The Epson has more content on it that’s why I’m gonna make a bunch of videos on the ri1000 to help on my end.
Whats the pretreating process all about?
The pretreat solution insures that the inks adhere to the shirt. Without it the inks would wash off.
@@adubbproductions wow so every shirt has to be pretreated? Or just certain material?
@@adubbproductions what type of pretreatment do you use?
I am confused.... Did you buy this new or used? Everything seems to point to used.. But very confusing... If from ricoma, i can see you being an afiliate for this DTG printer.... But for the price you claim to have paid for it, i recon you did not but it strait from ricoma... So tell us your real thoughts of it..................................
I did a video on how and where I got it a few days ago. Don’t be confused it’s all layed out. ua-cam.com/video/6H-vj6_r67M/v-deo.html
Can you charge $30-$40 a shirt with DTG?
Retail I would say $25
Let me no if u get piled up I will link up use my machine to help
For sure. I appreciate that. I well keep that in mind.
I have one for sale 8k
That’s gonna be a tough sell on the used market to that price. This video is 2 years old and I got it for $4500 back the. I recently got another one for $5k. Unfortunately people are not willing to pay high prices to get into dtg. Most can’t handle the maintenance it entails.
@@adubbproductions so u would say a correct price is more like 3k
If so I can beat that and settle for 2.5k
If you are motivated to sell it fast but I wouldn’t go that low if it’s fully functional. I would still try to get 5k if i was in your shoes. It’s just a tough sell. A huge part of that is the fact that Ricoh does 0 to educate the public on the product and their customer support is trash.
White shirts save white ink I try todo more white shirts save white ink because once u get into big jobs maintenance is a biggy
Yes. I can see that white ink going down super fast. It’s been two weeks and I’m at 60%. Insane. I have my two extra ready though.
Good enjoy it just watch nozzle checks and do the head cleanings it will get messy in there fr all over take it from me I had to clean the decoder strip and all off,so maintenance is the key and if u don’t have the cleaner carts to turn it off I would get them in case I have to power down u can’t without those
Thank you. I got the cleaning cartridges. Im gonna make sure I keep it clean. I need this thing to last and I do not want to be forced to have to purchase a new head.
Fosho yea my warranty up next month I’m getting extended warranty it’s $2000 for 1 year but head is $2500 to replace so best get warranty
I’m selling my ri1000 for 5k
That should be an easy sell. Why are you selling it? Is there anything wrong with it?
@@adubbproductions are you apart of the Facebook group ?
Which one?
@@adubbproductions the Ricoh dtg one . The one they invite you too when you buy it . So many issues with machines. People are reporting them as fraud to leasing companies and send machines back . For example my machine had an issue where it flushes magenta and yellow whenever it wants. I paid big money to ship my machine from NC to Cali. I got it back and problem was not fixed.
@@nomis84 Thats insane. You purchase it new from Ricoh and had issues from day one and they wouldn’t fix it?
It was user error because you said don’t I know what I’m doing, 🫰
