Remove the smaller plugs on the ink tanks. You're pulling a vacuum when sucking the ink through to the dampers. Those are vents and should be left open to prevent the vacuum and allow the ink to flow.
That's exactly what I thought. The tanks are closed tight
Exactly my point
You have to extract the ink really slow. Once it's in the chainber pull out the syringe then insert it again now this is when you will extract the 5m from it being full already. Another thing is don't let the syringe push air back into the chainber or it will inset air in the lines.
I tried not to let air go back in. It’s hard when nothing comes out. But I finally got it last night. Just still working on the back. Thank you for the tips
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 hi can you tell me what the best dtf printer to get that’s inexpensive for starting out
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 i tried to reply to u directly but im not good with this stuff but u have to take the top off whatever ink color u are trying to feed through the line while u use the syringe. That helps i left a comment a few days ago but didnt know if u got it but keep at it sweetheart its a process
@@marcusbryant9193 thanks I appreciate it. I tried everything. I had to send it back. Something was wrong with the waste tank. They fixed it and sending it back
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 when u get it back just remember to open the ink tank on whatever color u are trying to feed
Try removing the plug on the ciss (where the ink goes on the door) remove the air plunge then take the syringe and plug it in the cartridge and pull ink threw slow till it fills up the line. Don't let it push air back in the lines. The after it's done plug the ciss air plunge back in.
I'm sorry you are having this problem. I am having problems getting the color to print the shade I need on my DTF. Learning the software is my challenge but I'm not giving up and I know you want. You will get there!
One would think for that pirce the company would have provided bottles with the correct openings so syringes would not be needed, like standard Epson EcoTanks. I would not even purchase a printer if I had to inject the ink manually. ALso, not sure if you saw this warning from the manual:
1. The print head and waste ink pump are not covered by the warranty. Due to the
characteristics of DTF ink, if the print head is not used for a long time, the
print head is easily blocked. Please carefully maintain the print head. If you
do not use it for more than three days, please install the print head moisturizing
solution. , you can contact our after-sales service to get the operation method;
2.Check the ink stock regularly, and replenish the ink when it is almost used up;
3.Regularly check the ink in the waste ink bottle. If the waste ink bottle is full,
clean it in time;
3. After the printing task is completed, the printer should be properly turned
off. It is prohibited to expose the print head to the air for a long time.
OH MY.... I got my DTF printer and oven from Swing Design and my printer came in the crate with foam very well insulated and was very easy for me to open the box myself in about 10 min using a screwdriver and pliers. The oven came in it's own box. I didn't have any issues with pulling the ink through.... I did my first 2 prints and they pressed great!!! now I did see on another channel that my white adhesive is supposed to resemple the outside of an orange peel and my was still grainy. So I think I still need to work on my curing oven settings. I was not sent a filter with mine as I have seen on some other ovens so I hope I am ok w/o it since I have it in an area where I purposely wanted good ventilation for the oven. I am about to do a 3rd and 4th design tonight. I need to review my opening procedure again so I can remember what to do to not have issues. But the opening/closing procedures and daily maintenance so far is a breeze. I hope my experience stays that way. I got the Prestige A3+ w/ the Phoenix 16 x20 curing oven. So far I am loving my experience with DTF.
Yeah I wish I had a different brand congrats on your new purchase and hope all goes well for you.
😂😂😂opening the crate😂😂😂too funny
You just amaze me every time you do a video, even when things go completely wrong. I'm sorry, I don't know anything about how to help you solve this annoying issue but if anyone can pull through this, it will be YOU! And by you showing your struggles you are finding out that it's not just you and vice a versa and everyone coming together with ideas on possibly finding the solution. Hang in there Ms Katrina and GOD Bless :)
I definitely appreciate everyone’s help and solutions. You guys keep me going even when I feel like giving up
I felt your frustration. Hope you get it working!
I hope so to.
You’re ALL THINGS CRAFTY Congrats to u it will come together 💐
Katrina, you are greatly appreciated. 🌹🌹🌹
I appreciate you all as well.
Looking great thru it all queen.
Thank you
Yaass love the praise break dance 💃🏽 🙌🏾
Always lol
looks like the vacuum of the syringe is sending the air back into the system. Try unplugging the vent plug on the ink bottles or keeping the ink bottles open so that it can flow.
As a PC guy, get yourself a Desktop. Desktop are inherently more powerful than laptops. Great vid. Glad you were able to share your issues with the DTF.
I have an IMac If you watch my channel. The laptop is only for dtf but thank you
You are the favorite big sister I wished I had, giving me all the business jui!
Awwww thank you 🙏🏽
😂😂😂😂🎉 Thank you for open the Box like this... i cant stop watching
I truly love it that you are real 100%. It is so much appreciated. I love your tutorials. Thank you again!!!❤❤
The only way I can be. thank you so much
I totally understand what you mean about not having help and I feel bad for you because it it isn’t easy always having to do everything on your own without any help. I applaud you for everything you accomplish by yourself, my mom was a single parent and I watched her struggle so I have empathy. I have to move my grandmother and her entire house of things and I don’t have help right now so I can completely understand where you’re coming from. Sometimes it would just be nice to have someone help share the burden lol. It’s great though that you are an independent woman that has a successful business and you are going places. Plus you can say you did it all on your own! The struggle is real but I have confidence you’ll get the DTF printer working. Love your channel and everything you make!!!
Thank you so much. Definitely not easy but I may it work and keep pushing. Appreciate it.
Open the caps on the ink storage and then feed the ink through the lines i had that problem at first but keep at it sweetheart
Hey Trina! I got my $80 off pro colored DTF! I appreciate it
Awesome. Congrats! Thanks for the support.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 anytime I tried to DM you but I can’t figure out how but a long story short can you send me your email
You are Strong you made it
Thank you sooo much. Love that you give the good and bad
Hey miss Katrina idk anything about this machine but I can say ITS BEAUTIFUL MY FAV COLORS. SOO NICE. you’ll get it together if you have not already. Funny watching you crack it open thanks stay safe.
Thanks for watching. I took a break from it. Still have to get it working.
Pull the ink through more. And do a head cleaning several times. Remember dtf printers are converted.
I finally got the ink through last night. I will be doing the print head cleaning today.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Just be patient with it. I put mines together from March and now I know how to fix the issue without contacting support.
Thanks for the videos this is helping me because I’m planning on getting one for myself for Xmas now I just might wait
I just wanted to climb thru the screen to help you.. Katrina remember to take for yourself as well, all work n play isn't healthy
Thanks appreciate it.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 take time for yourself is what I meant 😂✌️
@@StoneHazeCraze I know. Trying to. Definitely need it
❤ Girl you look beautiful and amazing as always I always enjoy your videos and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always! God bless you and a speedy recovery
Thank you
Just send it back, get a new one.
I love your channel.
You have this girl! Even with this hiccup, you're still Bossing ❤️✔️
Appreciate it. I’m getting there
It sucks when stuff doesn’t work I had the battle of the printers yesterday and I was losing my mind
I know the feeling
Wow. That was a lot to handle. Maybe you can do a system test print or print head clean.
That was a level up unboxing😅
Your a BOSS!!! I’m sure your werk it out! Watching you see if this is something work for😊
I see in the comments that you got it through. Well done, i hear you have to keep the white ink moving or shake it up at least once a day on Dtf printers like that.
Yeah there is daily maintenance just like a DTG machine. I have to get used to it. But my issues were day 1
You are the real deal!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Hey there. I just got the Procolored L1800 and will say in my “David Arnold voice”, “This ain’t for the week”. I’ve had it setup for about 4 days and it’s been a little challenging to say the least.
Yeah it definitely is. Smh. I’m still struggling.
I agree with Katrina,I am going through hell with my 1390 dtf procolored printer,I did all the protocols machine suffers in all ways.Guys from procolored just find ways to blame everything on you.About to search other options.
Stay strong Sis
Hi Katrina, I have a Dtf Pro colored I might can help.
Katrina I 😅😅 enjoying your video
When I extract that blue ink… red came out. I think they had everything set up wrong colored. Now I’m freakin lost
Open the small rubber cover on the ink tube when your printer is printing
idd that still not working.
patiently waiting for the update.
FELLAS LETS get out there and SAVE HER DAMMIT LOL - hey girl good vid
😊😂 thanks
Wish I could help but I am totally clueless on this machine. I’m totally sure she’ll get this working and fill us in on how she did it ☺️
Open the ink door. The top of the inks do you have both of the little plunger in? If so only the big one should be plugged
Love you Boo and praying your strength I know we’ve talked about this thanks for sharing and I hope everything gets fixed soon… xoxoxo Everything will work out🥰 about to text you ♥️
Thanks hun. I hope so. Seems like everything is getting to me lately.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 one day at a time and it’ll all work out… it always does… in the meantime I got you covered with prayers and a shoulder ♥️
You are allowing air back into the lines. When you start extracting, pull the needle out when you cant pull anymore. Release all the air in the sarenge and go back in and pull again.
Personally I think the lines they use are to small making it hard to suck out the ink.
I was trying my best not too but it was very hard nothing was coming out. It’s getting fixed now.
much thanks. I just peeped mad game on this one
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for watching
I'm only 3 min in and crackin up! I swear you are awesome!!! I'm not making fun I'm laughing because my son (autistic) said mom that's something you would do lol. I would chainsaw to that beast of a crate lol
I wish I did have a chainsaw. Lol. That thing took me over 3 hours to get into
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 lol
Hi I hope you were able to figure it out. I have a Procolor DTF and really love it.
Nope sent it back. Getting another brand
Did you end up sending the other one back too?
I feel sorry for the printer, I wonder if it got fix, or if at least finish printing the first roll, i hope it really was a manufactured problem, there are another videos were everything looks smooth and easy, also, the equipment is handle nicely.
Good video thanks hope you got it figured out
Getting a new one from another company. I posted a shirt about me sending it back
Wondering if you ever got you dtf printer working?
Queen I know I'm late to the party but I'm sorry you had a hard time with that printer. I think I'll just get a good inkjet and use the hack. If I need speed I'll use TKO like you said. Thanks for the info:)
Oh my goodness! I felt so bad watching you get that crate open.😢 I’m so sorry 😞. But, Girl, you are my SHERO!!! Super Woman!!! God’s grace is sufficient!😊🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sometimes I don’t want to be a Shero…lol. But thank you so much for watching.
Open the holes on your ciss so the ink can flow
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 I completely understand… just as people who are referred to as heroes simply for being humanitarian. I have often heard them say that they were just doing the right thing, and that they didn’t feel like a hero. Most people aren’t trying to be heroic, but others who see the act, are the ones who see it as heroic.
I don’t mean to sound preachy, but I referred you as my SHERO because you stuck with it although you were in a lot of pain. I felt so bad for you and wished someone stronger was there to open the crate for you. I know the pain of having to bend over to accomplish a task, all while your lower back is hurting. I don’t think… no, I know that I wouldn’t have been able to stay with it because of my lower back that I had and unsuccessful laminectomy on. (The surgeon promised me he could fix it, but he failed. Now, my back is worse than before.)
Anyway, I’m sure that far more people than I feel about you being our SHERO… not just because of that one day, but because of how you fight to be successful for both you AND your son. He is so intelligent, and you are an incredible mother. Yes, I have seen your video where you were being transparent about everything. So again, I have nothing but respect and admiration for you. …and you still push through to do these amazing videos TO HELP OTHERS learn to use their own equipment, to make informed decisions on equipment that you do unbiased reviews on, and how to even start a business and how to save money when shipping products to customers.
You do so much good.
Thank you. 🌹
🙏🏽
@@mikewoods6407 That’s what I was thinking, but what do I know. 🤔
Thank you, I was about to order but good I saw your video, now I guess I'm holding back. 🙁
They sent me the smaller one that seems to work better for everyone but I still have another come bigger one coming from another company.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Thank you! 😊
Katrina can you please share on which of the smaller ones they sent you. Before I purchase one I want to make sure it’s nothing like the Epson printer I had for only 5 months and couldn’t get it to work anymore. I had to purchase a sawgrass printer which I’m loving so far. Had it for 2 months now and no issues. Thanks
@@gloriacastillo7188 the white one with the panda on it. I’m gonna unbox it soon
the air are so visible in the tubes that is why i trust the epson ink charge more
I fixed that part last night so now I will be printing today to see if it works
You are definitely need an air purifier or inline vent fan with duct to vent those chemicals created when curing straight to outside.
i had this model same and i was able to use it 15 days only !!! bad bad things !!
Wow yeah I needed up sending mines back. A hot mess. Mines never worked
Shit happens girl! As long as they help with a solution!
I ordered one from Aliexpress. I was able to get all the air out of the lines and I would get one good print and then it would get clogged... So they are using an older Epson Printer so I am assuming the print head is either used or remanufactured so I ordered a new print head and will install and try again.
Thought it was going to be like Raider of the Lost Ark when you finally got into that crate.
lol 😂
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Just watched the rest of the video, poor you it was worst than raiders of the lost ark lol
Looking for help here!! My R1390 procolored is giving me error messages that the ink is empty and will not allow me to print. Anyone else have this issue and can give some quick options for resolution? The procolored support team either messages in the middle of the night and has not had a resolution for weeks that has worked. Thanks!
Press the reset
OMG! I couldn’t stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣 during the time trying your very best to open that damn crate. Girl, I felt for so bad and wanted to jump into the monitor providing some help but technology isn’t there yet🥲. This video segment made my morning. That said, I would not have purchase any DTF printers that require syringe to fill the ink cartridges -my opinion. Whatever this brand of purchased all they did was cut cost by having consumers to use a syringe. This in its self is a red flag. Epson and other known brands is a choice I would had considered. Yeah, may saved a few bucks but the headache filling inks isn’t worth it. Neither are the computer software and drivers. Plus to pay for a Mac software is absolutely ridiculous 👎.
As for the ink not flowing through the air tubes may be factory error. DTF printers has a air pressure pushing the ink through the tubes and it may be damaged. If you get it going not think this may happen again after replacing the ink. Something like this situation may also cause ink clogging -something to think about. If this was me -return it! Otherwise hope it gets resolved. ❤your videos 😎.
The only thing that I could see is when you were pushing air back in with the syringe. Hope it gets fixed. I was looking into getting one. I might just get it from Amazon, mainly for the customer support if things should go wrong.
Nothing is on prime for dtf printers. It’ll be a struggle without prime cause amazon can’t do much if you buy it directly from seller.
I set up mine today but I have a Mac how can I download the program or I have to pay a computer
Gotta pull that ink slower. Its too thick to pull that fast, which is why it was fighting you. Once you get that aor out hopefully you will be on a good place.
Did you ever get it to work ?? We have had the same problems. They sent us the power source cause it went out. Then a print head and still not working. I wish we had gotten an epson! We have had this printer for almost 6 weeks and …..
No I sent it back and I showed and told that in a short video. That was a while ago. I have a different one
Hey Ms. Katrina... I continue to love your videos. Question though.. Do you have a video on the difference within the different Rollers with the Procolored DTF? I would love to know as I am doing my research in buying a dtf machine.
Thank you,
Help I have same machine they not want me to return it !
what was the problem that you were having?
does anyone know where i can buy a dtf roll holder for my printer?
if possible send a link
I see that there are two plugs on the bulk color holders in the door, are you not to remove the other plugs to allow air to help the machine pull the ink? (the plugs closest to the back of the door)
Next time use a drill to drill out the rivets. But a machine should never come shipped like this. I would of sent it back.
There were no screws to drill out.
Where can I get my Dtf printer 🖨 from . Please drop the site below 🙏🙏🙏
The link is now added in the description box with a coupon code
Can You DTF With Cricut Maker 3 ?
A cricut is a cutting machine
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 I feel like DTF direct to film printing is less work and faster..?
🤣 I got to follow you on here it does unlatch a lot easier
I finally got in it but the latches were pried down so tight.
Love you!! ❤
❤️ ❤️
What's the best DTF powder to use?
I can’t tell you what the best is there are so many brands. In my other 2 videos I used the ones from heat transfer warehouse. Links are in the description box
Hello, how many software did you use? I bought a used printer but it only came with the rip software. I have the same problem with the blinking light. Could you tell me which software? I would really appreciate it.
Patiently awaiting your follow up video. On another note, I cringe every time you have to take a large item upstairs to your craft room. Using a dolly to transport heavier items could lessen some of the strain on your body 😊.
I truly hate my craft space is upstairs. I looked for a house with a space downstairs but couldn’t find one. Won’t be too much longer hopefully. A dolly would be just one more thing I have to store but might be a wise purchase.
Hey Katrina I was looking into a video I have a question Will you put ink in your costumes you know you have one you put ink in and you have 1 with a vent. Try to take the one for the vent unplug it so you're cautioned to get air flow. Try to do another video I'm watching by the way my name is Brian I'm from Greensboro North Carolina.
I love the color does it come in different colors and where did you get it from?
It’s stated in the video. And I didn’t keep this one
No worries it happened to me too. Just be patient talk to the people that bought it. We spent too much money to buy the stuff just be patient because I’m going through the same thing with all American print supplies.
That’s the one I thought I was going to get
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 right now I’m in All American supplies warehouse. It’s been three hours the still checking on my printer. They told me I got a wait another 30 minutes. Luckily it’s in California where I live. This is too much. I’m driving myself crazy with this pruners. Hopefully your stuff gets resolved fast, I’ll let you know what happened when I get home because I’m still waiting for mine they say they’re going to change the heads right now
@@AlfredoMartinez-vt3eb any update? I’m thinking of getting the A3+ R from All American supply after watching this video. I’m also 22 mins away from their warehouse here in Long Beach .
@@macoygunida sorry for replying so late but I do get the 83+ hour from all American print supplies they have to change the head of the printer that was the problem but I’m working on it so far and it’s working pretty good
Sorry, I was trying to text fast. I’m trying to say I got the printer. It works pretty good so far.
Looks like you have the caps on the ink bottles still in theese need to be removed to allow flow
Not the side where you put the ink in the other end that looks like nipples
Hope this helps
The other side? Not sure what side you’re referring to
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 the smaller end of the caps not the larger one that you take off to pour the ink into the smaller one that is attached to the larger one
Katrina did you ever get your printer Fixed or is it still down
How often should you do maintenance on it, & does it have a automatic ink circulation system?
Everyday it says
I can completely understand the situation. I had ordered a Model J (supposedly a 1390 printhead) from DTG PRO and have had nothing but problems. I have yet to get one good print. (Getting a double print with bi-direction set) Then I noticed they use an adapter card for a cheaper L805 printhead rather than the 1390. Very deceiving. I've been trying to talk to Customer Service regarding a return for weeks, and they keep ducking me. Still out $3700+ !! Never going back to DTG PRO!
So sorry
Ugh... I'm so close to buying a dtf and I'm leaning towards this but there is much info out there about it. This video makes me nervous
Yes you have to do your research. I will be giving an update very soon.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 the prestige A3+ R Printer seems to be pretty good as well
I had a horrible experience with Procolored
How do you buy the software for Mac? No one has given me this option, they only say it is windows compatible.
I sent this back I had to buy a laptop I never used it with my Mac
So you mentioned having to pur hase a windows computer, which do you recommend? The company i am looking into says they dont offer the Mac RIP software. Im an apple user so id need to get a Windows labtop to run this printer 😵💫
Where’s your brother A-Dubb Mr Alan help our sister out LOL😂 but it’s just a hick up you remind me of myself we NGU Never Give Up and when we have to not happy about it. I LOVE THAT COLOR THOUGH, matches my Tumbler press ❤
Hmmmm I have no idea
I tell you why. She coulda called me. I would have told her that all she had to do was twist the clips and and push the tabs up. Ruined that beautiful reusable crate . Box abuse. Hey, Independent women wanna be independent. Smh. Rip to the top of that box. I feel her pain on that printer though. These things are not tried and true. They come straight from over seas and to the customer with no QC checks. They need to lower the price cause we are doing all the quality control and as you can see it ain’t working out so well. Feel so bad for the box. She coulda called me. Hmmmmm 🫤
@@adubbproductions 😂 You did say you loved your box but you made your setup look so smooth but I know K gone make it happen I got faith in her
@@adubbproductions Yes I am independent that’s not a bad thing at all. We didn’t have the same type of box yours was a different material. Mines was just wood. So it definitely wasn’t beautiful. And call you? You don’t have no time for lil ole me anymore.
@@jabucustomcreations thanks I have to do what I have to do when I have no help.
I'm so confused. I just wanna know the best DTF to buy. I always come back to this procolor but idk. Anyone help? What's the best dtf out here??
did they fix it when you sent it back? i saw you got a new brand but just curious about this one! i’m deciding between this one & the white one with the panda currently i’m not finding too much about this specific one so i’m a little nervous 🥴
No I have a different one I showed it on my channel. I no longer have this model
I found out that when they assemble these printers the nozzles that the ink lines connect to be poorly separated after manufacturing, mean the inlets be pinched shut,
hi it is china s printer ??
Did You ask A-Dubb??
No he doesn’t have this machine but I’m sending it back something was wrong with it.
