    Ok so this isnt for me but for the person I sold it to. He hooked the MH 871-MKZ up loaded the drivers and running it on a windows 10 machine. The cutter shows up under USB 001 and shows under other devices as USCutter Series. He is using Signblazer elements and when he sends it to the cutter it does nothing. Now I figure if it shows up it should be ok there is just a driver issue maybe? I told him to maybe try the demo of VinylMaster see if it works then. Also due to the move 2 years ago I cant find the serial cable could that be the issue the usb chip doesn't want to play nice?

    I think it ls sketchy legally I would see if this person could find a lawyer and see if zippo has a standing I mean he isn't making the lighter he is just embellishing it. And what about these other companies that do it it could be a fake letter but someone else that does it also and trying to get rid of competition.

    I have a client interested in me doing some can coolies for his business. They are of true life camo color and he want hunter/ neon orange. I dont want to spend a lot on buying the 10pk of A& B sheets and find out it doesnt work, so curious if anyone has a sheet they want to sell or whatever so I can test this idea?

     

    Thanks in Advance

    They are basically Epson printers so epson head cleaner works I have used m isopropylen 90% and it usual works in the head it sounds like a clogged head from sitting. You may have to get a new head, also take the tubes off if you have a CIS set up see if you can suck any ink out of not those are clogged and needs new tubes.

    Mad Hatter will not chime in lol. Been busy just getting time to reply I own an older DTG brand and was amazed at the quality it produced. Now my DTG is lower DPI compared to the new Epsons and Anajets so the print is going to be a lot better, however with that being said just like any print media the image is as good as you use so if you have a crappy image it will come out crappy. The other factors in DTG printing is always use cotton, if your using white ink always pretreat garments do a good job this will factor a good print or a bad print on dark colored apparel, and always cure the ink don't over do curing it will ruin the ink. Now if I was looking for a DTG Epson would be my first choice the second would be Anajet and then any other brand. There is maintenance on it like any epson style printer print at least a test pattern ever 4 days or the head will clog if you don't feel safe just doing that tape a piece of paper down to the platen and print a small colorful image. Always keep cleaner and swabs to clean heads fibers do build up from the shirts not as bad as you would think. Also always lint roll the apparel before printing that will cut down on fiber build up. It's a process but well worth it. A quick tip if you do go with DTG if you have many shirts that need pretreating pretreat all the items and then press for the pretreat to dry( your suppose to press them anyway befor you can print on them) it will save you leg work and speed up the process. I believe you asked about time for a white shirt about 2 minutes or about, for dark colors 3-4 min depending on the size of the image.

    Well it has picked up greatly and more greatness hopefully to come. I finally got a sale on etsy, a post in a group I belong to and do work for got a business interested in my doing their can coolies and that will be a big job. My continuing support is from an ex girlfriend turned friend so all is good the last 2 weeks have been great. Just wanted to share how great it has been and to thank those for encouraging me to continue on even after my mom passed away 2 yrs ago. And thank you for keeping me on the right path. You all know who you are.

    Lately I have been having issues with the aluminum water bottles. Blacks are going brown which I figure over heating I know it's. It the ink I have had success with printing other items with the black I have. I'm going 400 degrees 12 min I know it sounds high so what are you using? I'm using an oven.
