DETAILS | RELATED ITEMS | FAQ

The L1800 printing system is made at an ultra-affordable price compared to alternative technologies. It produces durable and intense color prints, is built on the popular and reliable Epson L1800 engine, professionally modified and enhanced.

• Patented Modifications to accept Digital Transfer Film (aka DTG Transfer Sheets) in Sheets (in order to print to Rolls, the Roll Feeder is required, sold separately)
• Adjustable Strength Vacuum to avoid damage to film by rollers
• Built-in Heater enhanced printing area
• External, replaceable waste ink pump
• WIMS (White Ink Management System)
• Roll Paper Release tool (for alignment of paper)
• 6 Channel Technology (for White and CMYK)
• XL Ink Tank Continuous Feed System
• Humidity Sensor
• Epson Driver Software
• BONUS: Design Software with Manual and video Tutorials
• BONUS: RIP Software Included (standalone RIP software sells for $499)
• Large printable area (prints cut-sheet and roll paper in sizes up to 12.95" wide including borderless)

Features:

• Adjustable Strength Vacuum system to remove risk of film damage due to rollers
• Heater enhanced printing area to raise temperature of the printed material when external temperature is too low (avoids ink bleeding)
• External pump (easily replaceable), replaces the OEM pump that is easily broken with use of textile inks. Our external pump (which functions to remove waste ink) allows for easy maintenance and easy replacement if needed (if the OEM pump is damaged, you would need to replace the entire printhead)
• Patented White ink "mix and recycle" function, our version of a White Ink Maintenance System (WIMS), typically found only on $10,000+ machines (to agitate and keep the white ink flowing and minimize clog)
• Roll paper release tool (for paper adjustment), to minimize paper misalignments which occur with competitor systems

Incredible overall value!
