Just a big question about safety related to DTF. There's some important warnings related to the vapors from the oven when curating the print. Companies are highly recommending to wear a vapor mask to avoid inhaling the DTW powders from the oven even ir you have the Air purifier added. That's one of the reason that is holding me back and considering more the White Toner. Thank you!

When you rub you are cooling down the transfer for White toner, that's why it stuck in the corner Looking forward to seeing more videos. This was a perfect video for me to explain to others how white toner is different than dtf.

Thanks for the comparison, I don't have a DTF and will stick with the DTF hack before buying the machine. I do have the Icolor white toner printer but I didn't buy it for t-shirt, I brought it for all the great things it can do with hard service ceramic, glass, wood, acrylics, metal, magnetic sheeting, leather, candles, window cling and printing white, matalics, glitter, glow in the dark, tattoo,ceramic, glass, wood, acrylics, metal, magnetic sheeting, leather, etc Also the low temp you can print on mylar balloons.

DTF is great! TIP: When putting a DTF image like that on a white shirt, you can knock out the white and use the color of the shirt to make the transfer feel even nicer. 🙂 A huge advantage with DTF is being able to automate the process for larger volume. With a roll printer and auto shaker/dryer, you can print 50 designs while you do other things and they will be ready to press when you get back.

Thanks for sharing and doing the comparison. I can always depend on your show for the truth. For me, the DTF would be my FIRST choice. However, working with my kiddos at school, the WT printer would be better for them. They just want a shirt and not really concerned about the vividness in the colors. lol. I will be using the DTF more for my business production.

Your right about the color…but can’t you adjust the color to more a vivid setting on the whiter toner? From my understanding the toner can print when you need it. The DTF although vibrant in this example. You have to open it up everyday and shake that white ink or else it clogs. Do you have to print something every day too? So that the hoses that carry the ink don’t get messed up? Also..you said both machines cost $4,000.00. But you “Need” that oven to cure the transfer right. And it’s best to buy that filter/air purifier thing. That’s gotta put you close to $5k if not more. 🧐🧐🧐🧐 I hope I get to see a nice video someday on dark colored shirts. Blacks especially.

Asking the right questions. I actaully just saw another commenter metnion an auto dryer/shaker for powder. It'a machine that will shake and bake your DTF powder for you to ensure consistency. The only problem? Damn thing costs 3 grand! So you buy the printer for $4K, then you buy the dryer for $3K, you're already four digits in the hole comapred to white toner. Sure, the DTF print looks 10 times nicer, but that white toner still blows my old DTG printer out of the water, and no one's complained about that one yet. I think if white toner can figure out how to have the adhesive backing paper already married to the clear film out of the box, it will become a clear cut winner. That kind of straight from the printer to the garment convenience and speed is hard to beat.

The dtf colors definitely pop more, but the white looks pink to me. You don’t really mention the cure box, besides putting it in. We all probably have a press by now, and besides having to invest in either printer, then that looks like it would be another huge investment, compared to the powder and bucket

The colors on the DTF are much more vibrant but the "white" rabbit looks slightly pinkish. You can tell where the ears came off the transfer as they are actually white. The white toner has a better looking white in my opinion. Maybe seeing white on a dark shirt would show better?

What I am trying to test since my equipment is damaged is if, for example, your DTF printer loses 1 color, let's say the cyan, you leave it to print only the white backgrounds and on top of that you print the color with sublimation and thus the DTF head would serve you longer because it has 6 color channels that you can convert to white channels only

You married them wrong, first you have to heat the plate, then the A foil goes down with the image facing up, then the b foil with the glue facing to the image 200°C (sorry don't use farenheit) for 2 minutes, then as you did rub the back with some cloth and peel in one go, not quick nor slow but consistently, you souldn't have issues thay way, btw, have you tried the new b foil from forever transfer? Is more stretchy than before, and I think white toner could have better performance than Dtf with improved materials and there is a white toner printer with 5 colours, if you had the funds would be well worth it there are more things you could do with a toner printer than with a dtf printer
