Our take on the Epson ET-8550 Printer DTF Converted External CISS 13" x 19" Wide Format

This is an Epson ET-8550 EcoTank photo printer converted for direct-to-film garment production, with an external continuous ink supply system feeding the printhead. It prints, scans and copies, handles media up to 13 x 19 inches borderless, and has a 8.5 x 14 inch flatbed scanner with a 4.3 inch color touchscreen. The stock ET-8550 is a well-regarded wide-format photo all-in-one with six inks and cheap refills; this converted version trades that general-purpose role for DTF output, so it suits decorators and small print shops rather than home photo users. Against purpose-built DTF printers it is cheaper to run and more versatile, but it is a converted unit, not a factory DTF machine.

Questions and answers

Is this a real DTF printer?
No. It is an Epson ET-8550 all-in-one that has been converted with an external CISS for DTF film printing. Performance depends on the quality of the conversion.
What can it print and scan?
It prints borderless up to 13 x 19 inches, scans and copies on a flatbed up to 8.5 x 14 inches, and prints automatically on both sides.
What resolution does it offer?
Print resolution is up to 5760 x 1440 dpi and scan resolution is up to 1200 x 4800 dpi.
Do I need to print often to keep it working?
Yes. Like most pigment inkjet printers, it can clog if left idle, so regular nozzle checks and prints are advised.
Does it handle white ink for DTF?
The base ET-8550 uses a photo ink set, so white ink support depends on how the conversion was configured. Confirm the ink setup before buying.
Who is it for?
Small garment decorators and print shops wanting wide-format DTF output and scanning in one unit, not home photo users.
