Excellent video, but a couple things. I do DTF and sublimation, but I have both printers. (Also, never used my Sublimation printer for DTF so may be different) 1) Besides coming in black and white adhesive powder, it comes in cold and hot peel. The manufacturer should specify on the packaging. I learned that the hard way as I messaged a lady and told her it wasn’t working smoothly and she directed me to the packaging that said peel immediately as hot peel. Tried that and worked like a charm. As for curing, it needs to be done even if immediately printing. Another mistake I learned the hard way. It can shift and leave sticky spots on the garment, and can cause ink smearing. It also will not fully cure while pressing which will leave ink behind on the film. It needs to be cured to looking like an orange peel finish. Last but not least, DTG printers (Direct to Garment) can run into 20,000.00, but DTF isn’t that high. I purchased mine for 3,000.00, new. It is the 13” wide print. It is the white ink stirrer, roll film feeder and a curing oven. Mine is a ProColored brand, which is basically an Epson L1800. I also have the Sawgrass printer so interesting that this works, but DTF prints white so would still be more versatile. For anyone considering a DTF printer, however, do a lot of research. (Another thing I learned the hard way) There is a lot of maintenance involved. A LOT. And it can be messy. You have to clean it twice a week, belts and under head. You have to use the printer at the very least, every other day. If not the printer head will clog and when it clogs, it is not easy to unclog and many times, it can’t be unclogged so you have to purchase a new printer head which is about 150.00-300.00. They use a lot of ink and the ink for DTF is not cheap.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with our community! I didn't realize the DTF printer required twice a week cleaning. Just to clarify, you are saying the powder left sticky spots on the garment and caused ink smearing? Do you think that was because of the amount of powder or not curing it long enough? This is all so interesting to discuss! - Dawn

@@DesignBundles it has to be cleaned twice a week and have to be used at least once a day. The white ink container has to be shook up. For maintenance, the head has to be moved to the middle, take a swab and dip in alcohol and clean under bottom side of head. The little cage under needs a little alcohol added and wipe top of cage well. The belts have to be wiped as if any ink gets on the belt, it won’t work. Move head back into place, take syringe and pull ink (and the alcohol you drop into cage) through overflow hose. Then shake the outside container of white ink, take out ink bags for white, (there are 2) take syringe and pull white through and squirt back into white ink container. It only takes a few minutes but if forgotten, the ink will clog and a clog in head can cause you to need new head, which isn’t cheap. (Just had to replace mine for 3rd time in 2 years). When DTF print comes out, some say immediately add adhesion powder but I personally find for me it works better to wait about 3 minutes add powder and put into the cure oven for about 3-5 minutes. It needs to cure until it appears to have an orange peel finish. Not curing make work with sublimation ink. I have a Sawgrass 800 so don’t really mess with the ink to know the thickness of the ink but DTF ink, especially white, is thicker than inkjet ink. The powder is basically a glue and if it shifts when press is closed, it can move the ink it’s spread on and if the powder lands on substrate without ink, it leaves a slightly sticky area where it sits and is pressed. When powder added to DTF and cured, it’s not sticky at all. Like HTV, when it gets heat and pressure from press, it becomes a glue to hold to shirt. The time and temp for pressing DTF is closer to HTV than sublimation also. As I said, it may work to not cure powder for sublimation ink, I haven’t tried it. I’ve only used on DTF. I love my printer but it is a lot of work to just keep it working properly. Many don’t realize the maintenance involved. I didn’t. When I won’t be home for a few days, I have my daughter go to my house and run a print through it daily and if gone multiple days, I have her run a head clean at least. Also, if making the investment, make sure you have enough orders to print at least once a day. If not, you have to print something so wasting ink and film. Sublimation printers can sit without using but DTF won’t. If have the money to invest, and not selling the prints, I’d recommend the DTG printer. No film or powder needed. I don’t know the maintenance procedures however, as I do not have a DTG. Hope this makes sense and helps. :) again… love your videos.

I love how you experiment with different things and show whether they work or not. It's really helpful and appreciated. Thank you!

Good evening, I would like some advice because I am currently launching my business and doing tests. I tried your DTF hack technique. To tell you, I have an SG500 printer with Sublijet ink. Being French, I was unable to have access to a certain brand of DTF paper, so I have the following paper: the TRILINIK DTF transfer film brand. I did all the steps in your video but at the printing stage, my design had darker places like dots and when I applied the powder it was still visible. Do you know why the ink has dots? Is it the ink, is it the programming that needs to be changed in terms of printing? I'm a little lost and would like some help to get my design perfect Thanks :)

The black powder is for use with a true dtf printer with white ink. The black would go behind the white layer once it's pressed. Being black, any stray bits of the black powder will blend better with a black shirt. Any sublimater with ANY experience knows sublimation ink is transparent and will not show up on black. You need something very light behind it. If you value your time, this will not work without a white background.

SUBLIMATION CAN ONLY BE USED ON POLYESTER OR MINIMUM 65TO 35 POLY/COTTON RATIO ( GETTING A VINTAGE LOOK THEN). REASON FOR USING DT FILM IS TO BE ABLE TO SUBLIMATE ONTO 100% COTTON WHICH IVE BEEN DOING TEST AND TRIALS FOR QUITE A WHILE AS WELL AND SEEMS DT FILM IS SO FAR THE BEST BUT LIMITED TO WHITE COTTON GARMENT. TO SUBLIMATE ONTO DARK GARMEMTS USE PRINTABLE HTV WHICH YOU NEED A VINYL CUTTER THEN TO CUT YOUR VINYL TO THE SHAPE OF YOUR PRINT (UNLESS YOU DOING A BLOCK PRINT THAT A FULL SIZE OF YOUR CHOICE HTV IS USED OBVIOUSLY LIMITED TO THE SIZE PRINTER YOU HAVE ACCESS TO) HOPE THAT HELPS.

ANOTHER METHOD OF SUBLIMATING ONTO DARK GARMENT IS THE WHITE GLITTER VINYL (THE NAME SLIPS MY MIND PRESENT) WHICH YOU USE EXACTLY THE SAME METOD AS I MENTIONED EXCEPT YOU DONT PRINT ONTO THE VINYL BUT PRESS THE SHAPE OR BLOCK VINYLS JUST AS IS ONTO THE GARMENT AND THEN PRINT YOUR DESIGN ONTO SUBLIMATION PAPER (OBVIOUSLY IN MIRROR LOL, BUT YOUR VINYL THAT YOU PRESSED ON ALREADY NOT IN MIRROR). THEN YOU EITHER IF IT IS A DESIGN SEND IT THROUGH THE VINYL CUTTER TO FIT THE SHAPE OF THE GLITTER VINYL THAT IS ALREADY PRESSED ONTO THE GARMENT OR IF ITS A BLOCK PRINT THEN JUST MAKE SURE ITS LINED UP ON THE GLITTER VINYL BLOCK YOU HAVE ALREADY PRESSED ON, ONCE YOUR DESIGN IS CUT LINE IT UP PN THE GLITTER VINYL ALREADT PRESSED. SUGGEST TO USE HEAT TAPE TO HOLD YOUR DESIGN IN PLACE ( TRUST ME IT MOVES FOR NOTHING IF NOT TAPED). THEN PRESS YOUR DESIGN. IT COMES OUT WITH HAVING A GLITTER BACK GROUND IN COLOUR FROM THE SUBLIMATION INK. PLENTY HACKS OUT THEIR LEARN FROM KZread BUT DO YOUR TESTS AND TRIALS AS WELL. YES IT COSTS TO DO TESTS BUT YOU LEARN FROM YOUR TESTS TO COME OUT AT TOP. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY TRIALS.

Hi there! This is so that you can sublimate on 100% rather than a poly blend, which is the primary shirt fabric for sublimation - 😊 Dawn

Hallo, ich bin von Deutschland und habe heute das Video heute gefunden. Mein Englisch ist nicht das beste, aber ich habe doch einiges verstanden. :) Nun habe ich noch eine Frage. Kann man mit dem weißen Pulver auf schwarzen Textilien drucken so das man das sieht?

Yes, it only works with sublimation ink

@CrystalAnn have you tried this hack with regular printer ink?

Hello Danita, We have not tried it with regular printer ink yet! Great suggestion! 😊 -Brittany

I would like to see a more colourful design on the black shirt. Of course black isn't going to show up. Can you please show something with colours?

Maybe for the black powder need to cured before applying to the t-shirt. To see if that way does not feel chunky. But thants for the hack

The black powder isn’t actually for black shirts, in true dtf it is use for colours such as red orange blue etc, just slightly darker then white, you won’t ever be able to dtf on black cotton using sublimation.

I honestly didn't even like this brand compared to the other one I used I would not recommend this brand for the black and I agree with Aus

@@aus-rider TO SUBLIMATE ONTO DARK GARMEMTS USE PRINTABLE HTV WHICH YOU NEED A VINYL CUTTER THEN TO CUT YOUR VINYL TO THE SHAPE OF YOUR PRINT (UNLESS YOU DOING A BLOCK PRINT THAT A FULL SIZE OF YOUR CHOICE HTV IS USED OBVIOUSLY LIMITED TO THE SIZE PRINTER YOU HAVE ACCESS TO) HOPE THAT HELPS

@@eagleeyeprintingdesigning5443 I know you can do it that way but it's hardly direct to the garment, what I am saying is you cannot sublimate to black using dtf with black powder.

have you had a chance to test another hack with the different colored powders you mentioned? And btw... thank you! Very helpful!

Hi there! we are currently testing different hacks with the powdered sublimation products. Stay tuned for our upcoming videos! - Dawn 🙂

I ordered some of the film last week and am waiting now on delivery. Is the film brands like sub paper, where there’s a difference in print quality? I think i ripped myself off. Paid $86AU for 30 pages! ☹️☹️☹️

The film is kinda pricey

I'm still new to the process as well and from what I have learned as long as its geared for DTF it should work great

Why do the rollers in your printer not smear the ink since it goes through the machine still wet??

@eagleeyeprintingdesigning5443

GOOD QUESTION. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT AS WELL. I USE AN EPSON PRINTER FOR SUBLIMATION AND I REMOVED THOSE WHEELS THAT COULD SMEAR THE INK.

Hi John! It may be that the design is less than the size of the rollers! - Dawn

Why do I keep getting streaks when printing on the dtf film?

What printer are you using?

I just tried this for the first time and having a hard time getting it to cure or come out colorful on a dark shirt

You need to press the shirt again after you peel it to lock it in.

Have you found a DTF film you like that comes in larger sizes like 11 x 17 or 13 x 19? Thanks for the great test videos! Very appreciative of them!

I have a different printer. Paid 2800 for it in 2020, but never used it because I've been scared to mess it up. Gonna try it over the Christmas break when I can take my time and learn to use it properly. Anyway my film is 19x13. Got it from DTF Pro. But just Google dtf film. I got smaller sheets from Amazon too

Hi Amanda! Both 11x17 and 13x19 are currently available through Amazon, but I would also see if you can find those sizes through your heat press company! Also, take the time to read through reviews to make sure you are purchasing a product that others have had success with! - Dawn 🙂
