This is an excellent video thank you. I would add 1 piece of advice to everyone, after the 2nd or 3rd rinse fill the cartridge up and drill a hole in the top the same size as the rubber plugs from the Chinese carts, assuming you have those. Then you always have a way to fill the carts up, even if you accidentally collapse the bag by running it to empty. KEY NOTE: the cart has to be full of water or ink before drilling it or you will damage the bag inside and ruin the cart
Hi thanks for you video your content was so helpful. Just wanna ask a question how often you do a maintenance of epson xp-15000 if it is converted to dtf printer, and do you replace the cartridge pr just refill the ink? Thanks in advance for your response. God bless you.
Right on time I just converted my printer last weekend and the after market carts leak and backfill found this method but no videos on it on how to do it . Thanks bro!
I just converted my printer and started filling up the Amazon refillable cartridges and started reading the reviews in how many leaked and ruined printer heads amd motherboards in the printers. I immediately boxed up and am sending back. Not taking that chance. I have the epson xp 15000. Would switch to a epson ecotank bit already took the rollers out 😂 so I'm guessing this is my only opitionof I don't wanna chance leaking? Or is their an external fillable ink cartridge system? New to this. Thought I was good to go. 😮
Hello! I recently converted my XP 15000 to dtf and I’m having some issues with the white ink not printing… Is there anywhere I can get help fixing this problem??
I’m having an issue where I’m printing blanks. It’s chipless and I’m using the foam carts. Brand new printer that was converted. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Good afternoon Sir You’re doing an amazing Work Keep going ✌🏽 I just brought an epsonx15000 I actually im trying to convert it but i poured out all the sublimation ink which was inside the cartridge now i can’t refill the cartridge, the bag is close Please what i can do to fix it !?
Thanks for the video very much helpful. So I converted my xp 15000 to dtf with C.I.S chiples But I was able to print the white all four other colors print when my nozzle check but not the white.. Can it be the wrong type of white.. Or any suggestions?
Hello, during the process of cleaning out the cartridge with water the bags closed and water won’t pour in anymore. How can I open the bags back up so I can continue cleaning the cartridges.
Hey Zach awesome videos bro, I think your videos have been the most resourceful thru my dtf journey huge thanks for making them. I accidentally collapsed two of my cartridges. Do you have any insight on how to uncollapse them. Thank you in advance
Hi I’ve watched your videos on the XP15000 I’m a newbie to DTF can you please advice what is the first thing to do. Remove rollers or do the firmware installation than the inks? Or which order thx
I bought a whole diy set up is there anything else I'll need? I've been rewatching all your videos. And I think we got it all. My 15yr old grand daughter wants to make and sell tshirts. Will this be easy enough for her?
Hello, I believe I have collapsed one of the bags in my cartridge as I cannot get ink to go back in. Can you please send me the information on how to fix that issue? Thank you in advance.
Hi zach i just want to ask what program i should use to design and print at the same time with a proper settings on this dtf printing … how can the print setting will read the red and grey has white ink and it will print as a 2nd layer of the print white idk if make sense but bare with me
Thsnks for the video. Everything was going good but soon as I was trying to put water back in the bag closed so I can't get no water in. Appreciate the help.
Did you add a waste tank to this? I’m going to be converting mine to DTF once it comes in but I’ve seen some that don’t have it and some that do have it so just wanted to ask around
That was my question. I'm sure some water was left over since you can't take enough out to collapse the bag. Was wondering if it watered the ink down also
Do you have a daily maintenance video on this or tips, followed one video n my printer shut down 30 minutes later n wouldn’t ever power back up so I’m on to another
I will make one in the future, but right now I don't do any maintenance unless something is wrong. If you need a maintenance program, check out this post. facebook.com/groups/1429627040804979/permalink/1446710212429995/
I would imagine any of the OEM carts would work, I did it with the "initial" carts that came with the printer for first setup. They still held the same 15 ml as the rest. If you did end up using the XL please let me know if by any chance they hold more than 15ml
your film may not be flat while the printers printing. Also depending on how much and where the ink build up is, a shoe shine will not be able to resolve the issue.
My ex 15000 not printing. My printing head makes move couple times left to right and stops in the middle of paper doing nothing for long time. Printer display shows printing message.... any idea what that might cause?
Hi, cant really find a video that shows the set up on a new xp 15000 and installing the chipless cartridges. I had to buy some with the chip but im scared, I see regular ink and cant complete set up without it. Will that effect the DTF ink? Any help would be great. Hope this makes sense.
Check out Hangry Muscles video titled "How to make the Epson XP-15000 Chipless for DTF Printing using Inkchip.net" This video is a cost cutting measure on avoiding spending $60-80 on aftermarket carts and possibly being more reliable/ less leaks. Also JW Digital Supply has a video titled "JWDS Epson XP 15000 DTF Conversion EASY"
Pump air into the little hole right next to screen where you fill the ink. 2. I use a 60ml syringe and pull a pull some air out the cart then pump water in.
Yes, you should still use chipless firmware. Without it you will need to keep buying replacement oem cartridge and chips when the printer reads the cartridge as empty, it will not let you continue printing until you do. The chipless firmware makes its so the printer always reads the cartridges as being full.
@@HangryMuscle I guess this is the part I’m confused on because if you’re using a continuous Ink system when your cartridge always be full and never run empty? Do I still have to remove my chips from OEM carts working with the CISS?
Hi so I am thinking of ordering this printer I’m stuck between 8500 8550 and this one but I see that this one has many reviews and less issues . So I can go straight in with the cartridges out of the box? I do need to install chinless firmware first correct . Also do I keep refilling these cartridges here? Or Do I get the ciss tank also?
@@HangryMuscle Thanks also what curing times would you suggest for the ink after the powder with the heat press & when pressing the design on the shirt what temperature & how long
The printer I'm covering is a used one. Do I have to do anything with the printer before starting with the dtf ink? or do I just empty & fill with dtf ink?
Everything i did for my xp15000 is posted on the channel. If you still need help, you can make an appointment here www.hangrymuscle.com/products/dtf-technical-support-for-epson-et-8550-xp-15000-acrorip-50-hour

You bet bro! 💪🏾
Question do you convert the cartridges before setting up the printer?
Once it gets clear the ink I’m pulling out do I continue doing it till what weight before I start adding the dtf ink ?
Thanks to your video I was confident enough to do this on my own. Thank you very much!
Did it work?

Yeah I would have to a bag close first lol
Theres a small valve on the cartridge, hold the cartridge under some water then pump air into the valve.
Any other tips to fix a collapsed bag? This one did not work for me.
@@katieurzua5107 use a big syringe to keep pumping air/water till it reopens.
Is the valve what you are taking water out of? I think my bag is closed and I'm trying to fix it

Can you send me the information on how to deal with a close bag on the cartridge?
hi thanks for your videos i have questions is it possible to cinvert xp 14000 ? and how to use the printer with ACRORIP ?? thanks !!!
Hello, I believe I have collapsed one of the bags in my cartridge as I cannot get ink to go back in. Can you please send me the information on how to fix that issue? Thank you in advance.
Do I swap out the ink prior to turning my printer on for the 1st time and then go through the setup process or do i swap ink after?
I would go through the setup initiation process with the regular ink carts before doing the conversion.
@@HangryMuscle Awesome thanks...Im converting mines tonight. 🤞
I have blue that is clogged up, 😢 how would I unclogged it to clean the ink out? And put water in it
me too. i am doing it as we speak. did you ever fix it?

I use a 80ml syringe to pump it back open with air /water
@@HangryMuscleI need help with this I’m having same issue with the blue cartridge
do you insert the syringe in the sponge
@@HangryMuscle
What do you do if the cartridge is empty but not absorbing ink?
Can this be done the same way with eco solvent ink?
Did you add a waste tank to this? I’m going to be converting mine to DTF once it comes in but I’ve seen some that don’t have it and some that do have it so just wanted to ask around
I definitely collapsed the bag. What is the another method I can use ?
Is this the same as Model: C11CG43201? Thanks.
Hi, I am cleaning up the catridges but the cyan will only take 3 mls and wont take anymore. how to i fix that
Thanks you for this video, pls what to do if my baga are close!?
I used a big 80ml syringe and pumped it open
hi, now is in good condition?? is better use oem or ciss, ill wait your answer, thank you
A ciss with "dampers" is better. The oem cartridges needed to be refilled every 4 prints.
it looks like I have a collapsed bag. Could you help me fix that? please
What weight does it have to be before adding my dtf ink ?
Like 12 or 13ml
When I put the cartridges in the printer after this, it says cartridges not recognized
Did residual water cause a problem
No it didn't.
That was my question. I'm sure some water was left over since you can't take enough out to collapse the bag. Was wondering if it watered the ink down also
Do you have a daily maintenance video on this or tips, followed one video n my printer shut down 30 minutes later n wouldn’t ever power back up so I’m on to another

Can we use the XL cartridges for this process?
I would imagine any of the OEM carts would work, I did it with the "initial" carts that came with the printer for first setup. They still held the same 15 ml as the rest. If you did end up using the XL please let me know if by any chance they hold more than 15ml
I believe my bag has closed. Pls help
When that ink needs refilling do you have to flush cartridges again or can you just top up the ink?
After 3 or 4 prints, they need to be refilled
Question I’m getting some smears on my transfers and I shoe shine it and still getting the smears ?
your film may not be flat while the printers printing. Also depending on how much and where the ink build up is, a shoe shine will not be able to resolve the issue.
My ex 15000 not printing. My printing head makes move couple times left to right and stops in the middle of paper doing nothing for long time. Printer display shows printing message.... any idea what that might cause?
What's the error code? Make sure you don't have any obstructions in the printer that the printer head is hitting.
@@HangryMuscle I fixed the error. I was DTF film issue.
Great, glad to hear, appreciate you updating me brotha 💪🏾
Was doing great with converting OEM cartridge but when I went to add DTF ink it will not go in. Collapsed bag?
Yes
Can I still convert my printer if its already been used with the stick cartridges?
Yes
Followed your steps but it's not printing
How does the printer compare to your epson 8550, print time and ease of use?
Is there a difference in print quality between the two?
@@ShanikaC they use xp 600 printheads.. is better than L1800 pprintheads
Hi, cant really find a video that shows the set up on a new xp 15000 and installing the chipless cartridges. I had to buy some with the chip but im scared, I see regular ink and cant complete set up without it. Will that effect the DTF ink? Any help would be great. Hope this makes sense.

while trying to change the ink one of the cartridges the bag closed . What can I do to fix this?
Pump air into the little hole right next to screen where you fill the ink.
2.
I use a 60ml syringe and pull a pull some air out the cart then pump water in.
What's the longest time you've gone without using the xp15000.
I tried this. Seems the cartridges don’t want to accept the dtf ink for some reason. WhT is the weight of cartridges full with dtf ink?
You probably closed the bag removing the original ink. Need to force air back into the cart till the bag reopens.
hi could you help me? I refilled the cartridges but the printer is showing it up ass still EMPTY. Idk what to do
Do you get the soln for it ? Please let me know
If I'm using original OEM carts and also installing CISS system, do I need chip less software still?
Yes, you should still use chipless firmware. Without it you will need to keep buying replacement oem cartridge and chips when the printer reads the cartridge as empty, it will not let you continue printing until you do.
The chipless firmware makes its so the printer always reads the cartridges as being full.

Did you go straight to dtf inks or do you first start with regular inkjet?
Better to start with the DTF ink, don't put the regular ink in.

I just got the maintenance box issue for the xp15000 how to fix the error
You need to reset the chip on the maintenance box using a chip resetter or use a new maintenance box.
@@HangryMuscle Thanks also what curing times would you suggest for the ink after the powder with the heat press & when pressing the design on the shirt what temperature & how long
Question how that method work out for you ? Did it printed well?
Great the oem cartridges are easier to use.
@@HangryMuscle but how long you think it will last for and do we need a chip resetter ?
A long time, and yes you do.
@@HangryMuscle ok I’m wondering if yo get it and convert it to a dtf
I don't understand your question
How do I unlock the ink cartridge after it lock up
Pump air into the little hole next to the screen
What happens to the 13 gram of water that stays in the carts ?
I didn't leave water in there, i just used water to rinse the cartridges
One ink cart doesn’t want to take ink what should I do ?
The printer I'm covering is a used one. Do I have to do anything with the printer before starting with the dtf ink? or do I just empty & fill with dtf ink?
