Thanks for this tutorial, I had asked about lines and what paper settings to use for the DTF hack with my sublimation printer. I’m excited to try the suggested settings and see if that makes a difference. I do need to order more of the films because I have used all mine up trying to figure out the problem. My sublimation printer is an Epson and feeds from the back, I do not need to tape to other paper which I am thankful for.

@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Hello! Can you talk a little about why you feel that sublimination is better?? I have been using my pigment ink printer to do transfers following this video (Thank you so much!) But I've been having so many issues with my printer and the ink costs, that I have been considering sublimination instead. But I read that sublimination on tshirts fade much faster than pigment. (Is that true?) Can you talk a little about why you like sublimination more? Thank you so much for these videos

Thank you. You listened to comments and solved a problem. Pigment printers usually cost more and cartridges makes it even more costly. I converted an et-2720 to pigment for over 3 years now and still working well. Like any inkjet printers, it clogs if not used and remained idle. Ink is cheap (on eco tanks) and it likes printing high quality matte atleast 2x a week minimum. I never had print cleaning maintenance even once. I downloaded a 4 color template that has the exact colors CYMK of the cartridge.

@YouCanTotallyMakeThat

9 ай бұрын

Thank you I'm so happy to hear that! The difference between the 2 is the ink sits on top of the film it's like a plastic if you will. so when you add the powder and press it to the shirt it releases it from the film similar to if you were to make cookies and you put them on a non stick pan they come right off you only need the film to get DTF out of your sublimation printer so you could have both worlds sublimation and DTF. DTF allows you to add your designs to cotton fabric where sublimation you need polyester. hope this helps

@sharonvanniekerk5403

9 ай бұрын

Thank you, this helps a lot. I'll go with the DTF. Your designs with DTF always looks awesome.

When you talk about how long you let the dtf sit - was this 3hrs after you printed and powdered before you cured? Or after you printed, powdered and cured? Does this make a difference if you dont use pigment ink? Thanks!!!

Can you use the dtf on tumblers? I don't do any dtf or sublimation as I just craft for me and my family though your videos keep making me want to. I would want something that can do all the things (or at least the majority) without spending much as I don't get any money for my projects. Thanks for all your videos and motivation.

😂 Your channel is amazing. Can I expand something on you as far as why the sublimation hack works? The DTF powder has what is called polyester and it because of that the sublimation adheres to the powder Meeting it will bond with the power that turns into the glue that is on the shirt. So in essence you're sublimating the polyester Fabric glue. Description below on what the powder is made with. I did elaborating this on my channel when I did sublimation Hack polyurethane: polyester and polyether. Both are highly effective in a diverse range of industries. Polyester urethane and polyether urethane are elastomers, meaning that they possess elastic properties, and both offer unique performance properties.😊
