Default Re: Made my own DTG Printer for $150

Ok guys... Since I have only received 1 negative and about 20 positives I will post the video TODAY! This is the 1st one so it is ugly but it works. I am going to work on perfecting it later on this week.(I have a real job too)

I can answer a few questions first.....


1) I only used the parts from the printer and wood for the frame and table. I didn't use any type of tray or stepper motor and you can see in the video just
some wood working and thinking about how the printer works normally.

2) I am using bulk epson ink and after setting it with a heat press and washing it it looks just the same as it did while printing.

3) Once you take the printer apart it cannot be put back together and taken back to walmart! So If it doesn't work for you, plan on losing the money put in it, since I cannot promise you have the skills to build it and make it work.

4) the hard part is lining everthing up while building it, but the one in the video is the first one and everthing isn't perfectly straight.

5) It isn't perfect! Yet... But with everyones help I feel it can be!

Hold on tight because I couldn't believe it worked also! but when this makes it out, I'll either be sued or the price of the DTG printers will drop(Hopefully the price comes down)

Thanks to everyone with the positive comments!
I will post the link here Today Sunday Nov 11th. 2007!
