You will find almost every printer offers different pros and cons for aftermarket use. If you decide to go buy an Epson 7710 or something for example and try to DTF with it and run into problems, You probably won't get any support, since no one has experience with it. The main difference is the print size, and OEM cartridge size. While I haven't had any problems with the P800 DTG I have, It is slower but features the same printhead. Having thousands of people using the P600 for DTG, Almost every issue/error has been well documented and it will be easy on you. The printer is a workhorse. The printer mainly supported by OPENDTG would be the P600, since it is the most cost efficient, and best choice for DTG. I'd imagine same goes for DTF.

Now that list is just for the RIP software, It doesn't mean that you can find the printer anymore, or that it will work for DTF or DTG specifically. I know more exist, That would be a question from someone else for a full list.įor AcroRip it just says " most are supported".

Even when chipless comes out, the software provider would still need to see a return on investment on offering their software to work with another printer, so I'd imagine it would have to be a " group" type of thing to get a new RIP for a new printer.īasically, When the printer is ready for market, and it's being used and the programs/chipless are sought after, Then they are produced. Company's probably won't dedicate the time modifying software to work with the new printer without chipless ink, since no one ( or next to no one) would use it. You would have to buy a new OEM epson ink cartridge to harvest only the ink chip from to use aftermarket inks. After a reliable chipless solution comes out, OR ARC ( Auto reset chips) come out for that specific printer model, then it's practically useless to use. Epson locks their printers to their ink cartridges, especially these newer models. The main issue is someone making the printer usable for anything other than OEM ink. The p800 is an older model, right there with the P600 and the newer but still discontinued( I think) P400. * Is refillable cartridges just about buying third party refillable cartridges, like we did with our other Epsons? * Didnt a guy post pictures of his prints on a p800? Does this mean its possible without a rip? Or does the p800 have a rip already? Is there a list of rips that you sell?
