Yea, this thread started out as a 1900 diy dtg printer and now has covered over 4 printers new findings and downfalls.
Try the Wiki... It is an attempt to drill down some of the build into a more concise form... It needs updating but I seem to be the only person interested working it. With the exception of Randy who uploaded the alpha version V3 plans. Thanks Randy.
The V2 frame with the 1100 should work just fine. It will only print CYMK but it's a cheap build for a first time builder.
so would there be no way to turn one of the black cartridges to white for the white ink??
I have wondered this as well.
well i dont know anything about it, but, i was just looking at ekprints website and they now support the 1100 so maybe its possible. i guess if i had to i could spend the extra money to get the 1900 if there was more detailed instructions on how to do the build. i am gonna try it regardless so if anyone has any instructions or support PLEASE let me know!!I have wondered this as well.
This is still a while in our future as we are having trouble getting the drive rod and platen working correctly. UGH!!
awww, now i get it. so any detailed plans so i can spend the only 1500 dollars i have without selling my kids to get more money
I highly reccomend a rip for the epsons if your going to print on any kind of professional level.. test the trial versions of ekrip/ any rip and you will notice big differences right away from drive control to color profiling etc etc
the 1100 can be used for white printing if you use two printers that would give you cmyk printer and a wwww printer and white ink printing is supported in ek rip for the 1100... the 1400 will print white with two channels but is painfully slow.. the 1800/1900 print white very well with decent speed but the dx5 head tends to clog easily with white ink if your not a daily printer of white ink... there are several reasons for this one being the white ink has slightly higher viscosity than the printer is rated for and as the ink evaporates in open air delivery systems the viscosity only goes up.. additionally white ink (titanium dioxide) tends to fall out of suspension fairly easy.. moral of the story if you print white ink with an epson do so daily and have enough volume to do it quickly!!i have looked for the rip software but i cant even find a trial version. do you have a link??I highly reccomend a rip for the epsons if your going to print on any kind of professional level.. test the trial versions of ekrip/ any rip and you will notice big differences right away from drive control to color profiling etc etc
Its really only a hobby toy without a rip/ a quaility rip that is.. IMHO
its eukondigital.com... go to there site and under the contact us request a trial of the model printer.. they will then send you a download link and password
