I doubt any hack-a-day hardware hack style instructions exist for this... yet.
But I've read that a couple of the ($10k+) entry level DTG printers out there are possibly based on EPSON 2200 guts.... so I would think that a modification of this nature would be possible for those who are hardware savvy.
For those of you have used these DTG printers suspected to be based on Epson 2200's... do they show up as a Epson 2200?.... do they have any special drivers? Or are they using the original Epson 2200 drivers?
Would original Epson 2200 UltraChrome (pigment) ink be sufficient to print DTG? Or would a special blend be required?
Another thing I wonder about is since this Epson 2200 uses 7 individual colored ink catridiges... I wonder if it would be possible to use one of these colors (like "light black") for a white pigment base. I'm sure something like that would require custom drivers to be written though.
I've got a friend who has made many bizarre hardware hacks & who is into electronics in general. I'll ask him about this and see what he says.
WARNING: I'm sure that any experimentation along these lines would probably void your epson printer warranty.
