I initially used for my tests a piece of a printed banner, i thing it was vinyl with fiberglass threading. It was strong but a bit slippery. After that i went to a conveyor specialized shop and asked for their thinner anti friction material on top and not so anti friction on the bottom side, i payed 90 euros and left, i dont know what is this but it is some kind of industrial fabric made for conveyor belts

Did you guys read German13 extensive post on the epson 1900 conversion. Also It is highly unlikely you will get a suitable print from any DIY without using a RIP for DTG.

thats not true, i print daily using no rip, you just have to use older printers.
U can always print using the epson driver. However if u want good quality and control including color profiles for the textile dtg inks you need a rip. The rip controls channel assignment color profile ink droplett size. Number of passes. If u use white ink then it controls the underbase and white ink channel assignment. So an absolute for using white ink. A great to have for cmyk only.
However Imho. A requirement for commercial use even with DIY.
In the case of the 1900 it controls initial feed distance among several other things. But they will print without a rip.

that was in reply to your quite obviously wrong quote of "highly unlikely you will get a suitable print from any DIY without using a RIP for DTG." i have been printing on a commercial basis with my DIY for over three years without a rip and it works just fine, we have never had a print quality complaint. For CMYK only you do not need one, on older printers anyway.
