Hey whats up guys, taught I share my video of my Epson 1430 DTG Build. After purchasing the printer on amazon. I spent less than $30 to purchase the wood and got started. Thanks to Johnson Manso at Alien Bunker, I got my build up and running perfectly.

Issues I ran into:

Open CD Tray Error: Just jump both wires that are coming from the Main Control Panel. If you jump the wires and your still getting an open tray error, you may need to repace the main control panel circuit board.

Table shoots all the way out of the printer on startup: Check to see the your encoder sensor is plugged in and the red light is on. If the red light does not come on, you may need to replace the Encoder Sensor or the ASF Sensor that the other end of your cable is plugged in to.

And heres how it turned out....

Cool! Post some pics when you switch inks. and I'm curious to see the dif in vibrance between pretreated an not. I mostly screenprint, and my hood won't keep an expensive DTG printing often enough to justify, But that looks like fun for the $$ just to mess with.

Yea, when I'm ready to switch inks, I'll post some pics and videos.

You could probably check Lowes or Home Depot.

Based on your plans from Alien Bunker is the 1430 the preferred printer or what you had or able to source..

Based on my research the Epson 1430 was the easiest and cheapest printer to convert to DTG. and its a wide format printer that is perfect for DTG. but most of the 1400 series printers are the same. The Epson 1390 is also good but it does not have wifi.

Looked at doing this! Is the plan worth $30 for the DTG Epson 1430 plan. What type of ink do u use? I want to do black shirts. Is all the info there?

JackyBrown · November 26th, 2016

I am so on the fringe with this.
My only real concern is what kind of volume is reasonable with this DIY..
