anyone convert Epson SureColor T7000 pinch roller to fabric handling system>?

Roll fabric or flatbed?

either - if someone has done a flatbed fabric handler system for this machine , that is a start, I really want roll to roll.. but if this device has been disassembled and converted to flatbed. that info will help..

Put some paper backing on fabric - you can get some wax paper, iron on the fabric, print,peel - and you're golden. I do it all the time on my Epson 9700.

wax paper would work if it was 44 inches wide
anything else??

found bunch of wax paper manufacturers - they will make the rolls for you, google is your friend.

thanks for the wax paper info, however i really want to build a fabric handling system for this printer .. ie: sticky roller, step motor and such..

oops, I thought you want to print on fabric, not to build a printer...good luck - I mean it, seriously - I built my flatbed - not DTG, I print on all kind of staff - metals, wood, glass,ceramics etc...

if you still want to print on fabrics, put a take-up roll on your printer, that should do it.
