- What do I need besides the printer to make DTF transfers?
- You need DTF ink, PET film, hot-melt adhesive powder, a powder shaker or curing oven, and a heat press. The printer only lays down the ink and white layer.
- Can it print white on dark shirts?
- Yes. It has a white ink channel, which is what lets DTF transfers show up on black and colored fabric. White ink needs daily agitation and regular printing to avoid clogs.
- Does it print on paper or only film?
- It is set up for DTF film, in roll or sheet form. It is not a general office or photo printer for plain paper.
- How fast is it?
- Around 1.2 ppm, so expect it to suit short runs and custom orders rather than bulk production. Large film jobs take considerably longer.
- Is the L1800 print head easy to replace?
- The Epson L1800 head is widely available and well documented, so replacement and maintenance are straightforward for a technician. Keep spare dampers and cleaning fluid on hand.
