I just purchased a 8550 on yesterday and I'm confused about the waste tank. Do I have to have something that runs the ink out of the machine or do I just watch the waste tank that inside of the machine and empty it?

Would you recommend an external cyst system so that you could just shake the bottle?

Method 1: You can drain the tank and then run a couple power cleans with cleaning solution. When you put the ink back in run a power clean to get ink back inside the printhead. Method 2: Open up the grey latch where ink valves are, lift the blue cap. There's a small valve underneath where the latch attaches to the printer. You can take a syringe filled with air, you'll need a small tube to get the syringe to fit on the valve., (the tube I use for external waste tank works great) Keep pushing air into that valve until you see the color return. Make sure to Place a paper towel underneath the printhead to catch the ink.

After pressing, my prints come out wrinkly in some parts, any idea what may cause this? I heat press at 320F for like 20 seconds. I reduced it to 305 and 15 seconds and it doesn't stick as good, but the wrinkle definitely decreased... my washes come out bad either way though. Any tips?

I think you're over curing the designs too long. Also make sure the film you're using isn't wrinkled. If you have tape on the film, remove it before curing the film. I haven't had any issues with washing. What film are you using?
@limetuul

@@HangryMuscle The curing may be it. I been using a heat gun to cure my films and that heats it unevenly. Sometimes it actually gets too hot in some spots and the film does wrinkle. I think I just need an oven to heat it evenly and accurately. I use A3 film, cold peel for DTF. I bought it in bulk for a cheaper price in alibaba. Im hoping it's not the film but it definitely sounds like my curing process is bad with me blasting my heat gun on some spots too long.
