dude that was horrible

[asyrum]

thank you for featuring my design. this was fun to find... =)

[XfireKeenmike]

I knew this was possible. very cool to see it. I had planned to place in my printer a thin party plastic bag to print a design on it for a kite I want to make.

[chrisfxwolf]

Some Questions:

1. What type of ink is used to print? (normal is washable)

2. At 0:49, we see big spot after printing (at the top of the printing picture) . However, at 1:01 he showed us clear print without this spot !? It is FAKE.

I still do not understand how the drawer movement is keep in sync with the printer head. Does the printer nudge the drawer with its included rollers, or did you have to add a heftier motion mechanism?

[epiphysealhf]

hmm wer mag mit mir zu chatn oder camn sagt einfach bescheid ja ^^

Guess it was our fault for not giving a link to the original article in the description. But its easily findable on the Hackaday website.

In said article, we state to use DTG inks and even recommend a vendor.

Regular epson and printer inks wash out (even after we heat pressed them). We have (machine) washed the shirt 3 times thus far with DTG inks and it has yet to fade!

[motorkola2]

congrats you made the worlds slowest t-shirt producing machine

[wiipwnzps3]

@motorkola2 I don't think it matters when you're saving a lot of money compared to a real DTG printer. :D

My $0.02

cool idea, but is it really feasible?

[hpdragon723]

Very cool idea but yes the other people here are right. What about when you wash it? Maybe you should think of ink that would not wash off.

[coolerow]

@hpdragon723 judging by that used syringe on the corner with ink still in it, he probably did.

[pspaddick16]

COOL!!!

[cslr11]

wow very cool . what ink did you use.

[Idonthaveanam3]

Not bad. I approve!

[healingv1sion]

holy sheet 

[xEndLessSorrow]

dam!! if i had that id be wearing a new tee everyday. well not really a NEW tee but new design haha

[intodustanddeath]

Killer make dude.

[BlueSkies360]

My guess is that you can find some kinda permanent ink/dye to put in refillable cartridges. Check a fabric store?

[Genoc1d3r]

You need emulsion ink for this printer ink wont work

[kholdsworth27]

what kind of ink do you use?

[ToRMeNToR84]

Disposable T-shirts. No wash needed.

[s4m5on]

ok now wash the shirts and make us a video of how those shirts look afterwards

[RoboTekno]

That's pretty awesome :o)

[daniglue]

good, but the final result doesn't show the dirt on the top right of the tshirt.

[zporkz]

How does the ink hold up to a washer and dryer?

[entirelyfakename]

that is AWESOME dude

[bedeone]

Awesome job and nice result, one question pops up in my head though; is the result machine washable?

[R3alitySh0ck]

@bedeone i was thinking the same thing...
