I have been watching all the different forums on making a DTG printer and finally decided to post my discovery here.
I have made a DTG printer using an epson c88 $89.00 printer. I have maybe 150.00 in the equipment and supplies including the bulk ink system.
No, I cannot print white ink but I think this is a start for an affordable DTG printer.
Anyone who would like to help me improve the setup I made, I will be glad to help as long as everyone has an open mind and understands I'm NOT making these to sell, just to help so everyone can have an affordable DTG solution, and the agreement is that your discoveries can also be shared with me and everyone and not to be sold.
I will be posting a video on a website soon so everyone can see it is for real.
I will accept any feedback or suggestions being negative or positive.
Just wanted to see what kind of response I get before giving more info on the subject.
Thanks,
T
