    Thank you so much man for this video.
    I have been looking at videos for a while in regards to DTF; you are the first person who actually explains everything to detail and not just “converting” ( removing the rollers ). I loved the fact the you spoke about the Ink and prices. A very Honest-Detail video.
    Now I can make an Informed Decision
    Cheers 👏🏼

    So, I watched a previous video of you just printing on a regular ink jet printer and now this. Is there a benefit to printing shirts this way? It seems like alot of work when you could just simply print and press in your previous videos. Thanks, your videos are great I just lost my job and I have no intentions of finding another place to work to put golden cuffs on me. I've been selling on Ebay and saving up for the last year. I'm making the jump by making my own T-shirts. Wish me luck

    You are the first that I have come across about changing out the ink in the factory cartridges. I am just beginning and trying to learn. Can you explain why not use the chipless cartridges for the ink? Also, I am looking for cleaning solution to use with my refillable cartridges. What do you suggest? My maintenance plan is something like this. After I finish using the printer for the day I will remove the ink cartridges, place the cleaning cartridges and run a printhead clean then leave the cleaning cartridges in until next use. Thanks for answering my questions.

    Yo Slava is this the only one at this price point?

I am waiting for my site to be finished and all state documents to be done processing. Everything should be up by next month I am focusing on custom pieces. I am going to start dealing with the LA and Dallas diamond district nd have questions as a new jewelr in the game. I have the type of money to promote and connects thru hip hop industry to get this going I just never thought to do this

      less budget do you mean about the printer is concerned? The Epson printers L1800 and FX1500 seems to be the ideal printers to convert to DTF. on this video he removed the piece from inside, other videos show they remove tiny rollers. It is not easy who to follow to.

    Hello. my epson xp15000 is converted to DTF and using AcroRip11. It was printing fine. All of a sudden the beginning of the printing turns out stretched. I printed an image just fine, then I wanted to print the same image again and that's when it started. Example. If I wanted to print a circular image, it would come out like an egg/oval shape. I have uninstalled the software and installed it, and still keeps printing like that. Any idea of what could be? Thank you.

Putting tape on the film constantly that becomes tedious and monotnous. I wonder if it is better to get thicker film that works.

      It's probably against copyright to use their images but unless you're selling hundreds of thousands of dollars chances are they'll never come after you, but it's always a chance you take. Plus it's technically theft of intellectual property. So if you feel guilty for stealing someone else's work or not that's up to you. At worst you might get a cease and desist letter from a lawyer for using someone's image.

And I have seen their is mixed reviews between getting the dtf and dtg but what I’m asking is I’m looking into buying a dtf machine,what is the best machine that is already converted into dtf because I’m not sure about the whole converting thing and pretty confused about it so I thought buying one that is already converted would be easier I’m not sure but if anyone could recommend me which are the best machines that can be already converted or if not converted the easiest way to be converted as well as having the white ink included thank you.

      maintenance is the key they say. The ink is water based, when not using, the ink or the heads tend to dry out. I heard horrific stories even with dedicated printers which are not converted. The only good things I heard about are the ones that are industrial, which of course need maintenance too.
