It looks like it maybe the older model of the p800? I'm getting a little okay a lot overwhelmed. It looks like I my Epson Stylus 3880 can be used for DTF if I'm understanding. Up to 24 inches ( have to double check when i go back home) One to clean the system from original ink. If you get one of these make sure you get yoourself at least 2 sets of cartridges. P800 (one time chips for the refill cartridges) Up to 13x19 slower two channels for white so slower compared to above mentioned. That are supported in widely available acrorip for 1 pass Printing. Some of them are listed here on the DIY DTG list: įeel free to comment below with more models or information.įor people on a budget and looking for used machine on their local marketplaces I would add the following models

There are older and smaller model Epson printers that will work. These aren't good for DTF / DTG yet because there is not refillable ink cartridges or RIP software for them yet. Many of these models are discontinued but places like OpenDTG have a stock of them. It too have a ink system built in like the P600. Because of the ink system not using often will cause white ink separation in the lines and you'll have to waste ink to get it out. It is better if you're printing daily with volume because of the built in pressurized ink system and available 80ml cartridges. P600 is fast like the p400 with a 8 channel DX7 printhead. Ink cartridges or CISS plug in right on top of the printhead so there is easy access to the head and not much wasted ink to flush the printhead out when the printer needs to sit for days without use. P400 is at least 3 times faster than the L1800 / 1430 because it is a 8 channel DX5 printhead. L1800 (1430 w/ bulk ink) is used a lot because it's cheap and available outside of the USA. The most popular models are going to be the best to use unless you are fine with figuring things out on your own. You need an Epson printer with 6-8 colors / ink channels so you can print CMYK + White inks, available refillable cartridges, and compatible RIP software.

The list of printers that are good for DTF is basically the same as for DIY DTG: I figured I'd make a post since this is one of the most popular questions right now.
