PrintEXP how-to videos (AM training / support)

Product: AM.CO.ZA PrintEXP / PrintExp printer control and alignment software. PrintEXP itself is AM software. Hosonsoft PrintEXP board software is third-party OEM stored by AM (not AM-authored; stay with original source cited). Distinct from InkRIP (AM RIP software, see inkrip-howtos.md), AcroRIP and WellPrintEXP (see wellprintexp-howtos.md). UltraPrint is not AM software and is not listed. PrintEXP firmware notes and leftover UltraPrint English help already on the tree are separate; this file is the dedicated YouTube how-to index. Overlap with DTF, FastCOLOUR, UV-DTF and FlatPRINT titles is kept when the title is PrintEXP- or Hosonsoft-branded.

Source: local AM YouTube dump youtube.jsonl (main, tools and daily channels). First written 2026-08-14 from youtube-daily.html with 31 videos; refreshed 2026-10-18 10:50 SAST to 55 videos. YouTube was not crawled. Titles and watch URLs below are taken from the dump, including any spelling slips in the original titles. Videos were not watched; no transcripts are invented.

English dump titles (55 unique watch URLs)

Grouped for AM support and sorted by date inside each group. AM-channel uploads are framed as AM training/support sources. Each watch URL is a source. Matching used titles containing PrintEXP, PrintExp, Print Exp or Hosonsoft; deduplicated by watch ID. Videos that share a title but have distinct watch IDs are both kept.
