This is my Epson 2100 based
DTG-Printer.
As you can see on the right side , i have filled the
the CISS with white ink. I used empty cd cases to find out the perfect height for the ciss , if it is too high the ink starts forced through the head , if it is set too low , it will result in ink starvation.
On the lower right corner you can see the hygrometer , showing 55 % Rh and 25 deg. Celsius. It is important to place the printer in a controlled enviroment in order to avoid headclogging. You can read more about this here :
Proper humidity level CRUCIAL for digital garment printers
The wooden latch on the lower right corner on the platten is my MDRD = Manually Driven Registration Device

I removed the Feed Sensor and placed it a few inches in front of the platen. When the print job starts the platen hits the small arm of the sensor , so you can have 2-pass jobs without misregistration issues. when the job is finished i retract the latch, because the 2100 has an inverted feed sensor (closed = paper out , open = paper in) i push the platen back , wait for the empty paper error, pop up the latch and press the paper button on the printer. this gives me a pretty good registration with multipasses.
I will shot a short video later to show you what i am tlaking about.
