- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The DTF Industry is about to take another turn. This is an absolute wake up call to everyone using this DTF Powder specifically. DTF powder is a major Problem and it is now confirmed that this stuff can cause cancer. Use full protective equipment including a respirator, eye protection, and even ear protection. I will be using an entire suit moving forward when Dtf printing. I advise you to do the same.

Will pray for Mr. Ernest. I remember him. God’s Blessings and Mercy!!!
Risk ain’t worth printing beautiful images. More to life. All money ain’t good money
Prayer for him. Currently, there are no studies or cases indicating that DTF powder can cause cancer, at least within the knowledge of the DTF community and industry. However, this does not mean you should neglect safety precautions. It has been repeatedly advised to wear gloves, use masks, work in well-ventilated areas, or use fume extractors when working with DTF, DTG, Sublimation or any other method.
Any product that produces fumes requires protective measures, not just DTF. Failing to take these precautions is done at one's own risk, similar to how long-term smokers risk lung cancer, how firefighters risk inhaling harmful smoke or everyday items, including processed foods containing toxins, pose health risks.
When a certified doctor publishes a case study on this matter, the DTF community will evaluate the findings, and factories will likely need to implement big changes. For now, in my opinion, there is no need for panic. The key is understanding how to work safely and ensuring you are adequately protected.
That makes a lot of sense. Any powder or fumes you breathe is harmful to your lungs, don't discard sublimation. Thanks for sharing ❤️
It's my duty as an influencer. The good and the bad especially if it's life threatening.
They really need to wear a RESPERIATOR when they work.
My Dad died at 42 with Cancer breathing in fumes from chemicals...Ya'll it's no joke messing with these chemicals..Alot of these companies know they are dealing with chemicals and it's not until folks get sick and die then they put a warning on the product
Lord have mercy for brother Ernest🙏🏽Thank you!! Good information ! You can do my my Class reunion shirts🥹
Brother Wade... thanks for sounding the Alarm, it's time to take precautions! Truly appreciate all you do.
No problem. Now we know.
I always knew even the package has a warning label but it took it lately. Thank you for opening up my eyes with video. I be following you for quite a while. I appreciate what you do. Be safe out there one love.
Brother Wade, thank you for emphasizing this issue. The warnings are real and we’re not taking this serious. Please let’s be cautious and protect ourselves and those around us. Many of us do DTF IN OUR HOMES! And around our family. Prayers for Ernest.
Thank you for being honest. I am glad you were brave enough to publicly speak facts. I am one that held off purchasing a dtf printer and chose a white toner.
I’m a nurse and we cannot use baby powder or any talc on our patients. Inhaling baby powder can be harmful so imagine this toxic powder.
I’m holding off until these printers have improved user protections . Until then, I’ll have a company make transfers for me.
Makes sense. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this. I'm from Kenya and about to get my first DTF printer. I will take precautions.
Good. Forward the video so others know.
I’ve just been pouring and handling the DTF powder not knowing this. Thankyou I got gloves now and I’m getting a respirator tomorrow along with goggles
Where the DTF powder is a Polyurethane TPU in general its non toxic, but the fumes when heated at a certain temp usually above 250C can be toxic, but so can your inks and film as well. So the key point in all of this is, stay safe and have more than adequate ventilation and extraction systems in place and exactly what Alan said proper ppe when handling powder and fumes, I will be following suite and discussing this as well in my next video ... Alan thanks for the video and neutral stance you took.
My husband purchased the same mask for me about 2 years ago when I got my DTF. He’s a retired firefighter and has seen the good, bad and the ugly.
I’m so sorry about Brother Earl. Thank you so much for sharing the video.
Crazy times. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the information. Just sealed the deal for me to NOT invest in the DTF equipment.
OMG Ernest was a guy that convinced me to not go down the path of DTF when I first started. Mainly because it was such a PITA with clogging. It gave me the flashbacks of the PTSD I have from my old Epson 4900 photo printer clogging constantly and costing big $$$$. Man what a bummer on DTF. I don't think I will even offer it now to not take advantage of you guys that are making it.
Thank you for your honesty! 🙏🙏🙏for Brother Earl and you.
So, are the transfers safe when pressing.
I don’t trust them at all. Until the right agency investigates, I would not trust them. Heat pressing this stuff may also cause cancer because of the fumes you breathe in, especially in a not well ventilated bedroom.
I enjoy ordering transfers, and rarely do the DTF hack right next to the door that leads into my garage. I have that door open when I’m pressing sublimation designs. If dust particles get on my desk, I clean it up. You can’t see it, but it gets there in the air.
I take it seriously.
100 percent.
As a content creator you have to be more responsible with the content that you put out. DTF powder is made from a polyester resin made of polyurethane the base of the same things that your house is made of. It is true that it can be harmful or swallowed, left on your skin for too long or if it gets on your eyes but there is absolutely no research to show that is causes cancer. I’m sympathetic that this has happened to someone but we don’t know the extent of the environment that he’s in, or where he’s been that would allow him to attract such a sickness, a health official on his behalf has not even confirmed if what he’s saying is the case, and you just take it and run with it for some views or so that other will be afraid to make transfers and buy them from, you? You did throw that pitch in there. Thousands of people own DTF machines and this is the 1st we’ve heard of this and you guys jump at the chance to make a video without doing the proper research. If you swallow bleach or leave it on your hands it can harm you, all I’m saying is know more or do the proper research before putting this out there
Thanks for sharing...I'm lost for words. Praying for Me Earnest!
Stir it up man! That is crazy. And sad.
What about the printed dtf transfers?
Appreciate you ❤
Thanks for sharing
I was planning on getting a dtf printer and i am lucky i came across this video before getting it. Not sure if i'll he getting it now after watching this.
Wear the right equipment or just buy transfers.
@@adubbproductions i use my press on my basement so i'd rather find an alternative or stick to just transfers.
great video warning people! But just a heads up if you want to keep working with this stuff you have to shave your beard bro. I worked with toxic thermoset resins in my 20s and NYC health dept required us to be clean shaven to wear the fitted HEPA masks. When you think about it it makes sense: when your beard is separating the mask rubber to your face the beard becomes an easier path for fumes are particles to pass through than the HEPA filter. For those that wouldn't shave they offered the full head hazmat bag that your entire head goes in connected to an air tube. Great channel btw!
Makes perfect sense. So much to think about. Thank you. Definitely makes sense.
I can see major reprecussions if emplyees are not protected and something goes wrong, not worth it unless things change
thank you Allan .
No problem but make sure to go thank Brother Ernest for putting it out there. He’s saving us all.
Thanks for sharing. Allan, should we be equally concerned and cautious with pressing sublimation?
I’m so glad I saw this, I have a DTF shaker & oven combo & I get a headache every time I use it. I will definitely wear proper ppe going forward 🙏🏾
Thanks for the info and my prayers go out to Brother Earl. I just ordered an Epson 7880 printer to use for DFT. I will be using the protection gear you suggested and using the powder outside ONLY. Any suggestions on moving fwd with this printer? Thanks and keep up the GREAT work.
glad I never bought a DTF machine . I did buy some film and powder ive done some prints ut im cool . im tossing it or see if I can return the stuff amazon .
Protect yourself correctly or toss it.
DANG!! this is scary, i been using dtf in my home for a year now and maybe its time to do em outside. Lord protect us all who is trying to make a living.
I think you are fine. Just change things up a little now that we know. Wear a mask and eye protection that’s all. Remember that powder gets airborne and can travel all over the house. Keep it in one room or in the garage with the door closed.
Thank you very very much. This surely must be dangerous for someone who suffers from Asthma.
Your filming this is very educational. No one wants to get sick from printing any type of garment.
Than you very much sir
Thank you for this video, got me thinking now is there any health risk or powder that comes from with a DTG?
Yeah, I just got in and I'm out. I just purchased a printer and converted it to DTF, so I've broken pieces off. I've only done a test print, but I guess I'll convert it back to a regular printer... just not worth it to me. 😳😔
*This has been the Pink Elephant in the Room Taboo Topic you Do No Talk about!!!*
Right. That awkward conversation that every company selling the stuff doesn’t know how to answer.
@@adubbproductions
*You mean Avoids to Answer. Big Difference.*
Thanks for the info. I don't have the machine but use the powder and sheets. Will use outside with all the attire you have suggested. Thank you.
For sure. Be safe.
Ok but how to you KNOW. I haven't researched this much but wheres the scientific proof?
I just got my xp 15000, I was going to use the powder outside with a respirator on. Should I also print and transfer outside? I don't have a garage.
Thanks Alan and Brother Earnest for bringing this to light. If you can't be 100% safe, buy your transfers or consider alternative methods (White Toner, DTG, Sublimation, Screen Printing, etc)
Yup, protect yourself or go the white toner route.
Just ran into a guy who is on his death bead because of the powder Lcoated in MA smh im sending him this video ... None of the companies are labeling any warnings on these powders
Thank you for sharing this is a huge blessing for many I also watch the video with you and Katrina speaking a little bit about the cancer this is a much-needed video I am a lung cancer survivor stage 3A the walking miracle never smoked cancer was before I started crafting I have not done DTF but thank you so kindly God bless you
Wow. I bought my xp15000 about a year ago. Never converted it but was planning to do so this coming week. Thanks for the awareness. Hope homeboy is able to recover somehow
Thank you for sharing this vital information! I have been on the fence about DTF for a long time and this just confirmed that if it wasn’t sitting well with my spirit I was making the right decision to wait.
I pray for Brother Ernest’s healing and recovery. And I pray for everyone else still willing to produce DTF prints! Godspeed to all!🙏🏾
after screen printing for years with spray adhesive . I started working with resin, and I wore, gloves, eyeglasses and masks plus had ventilation. At work we ventilated our laser, and had air cleaners, but never vented our dtf but will do it this week. Thx for the help
How about the ones who purchase from a supplier and press on the shirts to sell? Should we be concerned?
this is exactly why i have not gotten into DTF, i've always been afraid of that whole powder thing.
I have a question is dtg better since it doesn't involve powder/oven thank you
WOW thank you. I just ordered supplies for DTF. Now I'm wondering which way to go
The idea of an exhaust fan is a great idea. Maybe looking into a supplier of auto repair supplies can provide you with recommendations for a powerful fan to extract fumes and powder particles.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I saw brother Ernest video. I feel just awful for him.. be safe!!
If you use these outside in your garage how hard core would you still be?
T shirt making and Dtf printing is over saturated.
Thankyou Allen, Health and Safety is the 1st thing in life and Industrie, Nice to hear you hear you are sharing it! My thoughts are with Brorher Ernest! Bless you.
Can you get cancer from the prints when we press them? Praying Mr.Ernest pulls through this is crazy!!
I doubt it. You’d probably have to directly and purposely sniff them. I doubt it but who knows. We can get cancer from second hand smoke apparently so… probably.
I am not going to do it any forget about it!!!!!
If I move my machine to an outdoor environment, more like a garage how do I keep my machine from being damaged from humidity? I asked my mother has a DTF oven. She has the same ventilation system that you have and I swear every time I go in that room it’s a sealed room with the window AC units. I get a sore throat.
You have to be able to control the temperature of the environment the equipment is in. That is the only way to keep the machine functioning as intended.
Thank you for sharing this important information. I pray that brother Ernest is able to recover from this illness. It’s so sad. 😞
*I import 5 Kilos of DTF Pounder at a Time. It’s comical when you Read what they write on the Import Paper Work.*
Smh. Im sure everyone would love to see that.
@@adubbproductions
*Earnest is a Personal Friend of mine. He is one not to Hold Back. Kinda Spilling the Beans. Most wont speak out in Fear to get Black Balled in the DTF Market!!!*
dont under estimate the ink either
Now do you need to use the dtf powder for your business? Just wondering because i was getting ready to make a purchase for the screensheets bundle which includes the ink and the dtf powder added to it?
I use it almost everyday.
Hi,
It’s two well known channels; these two women don’t use masks when applying the power.
The guy from a company who just released the small DTF didn’t talk about how important wearing a mask is; and the serious risk to your health.
I’m so scared of these chemicals. l wear a mask and leave the room when I’m pressing sublimation ink. I will never do DTF. I rather leave the money on the floor.
Thanks
If you got to do all that to print I’m good! So if the powder is in the image after it heat does it seep out into our skin if we sweat?? Or does it dissolve after you heat press onto the garment???
The powder isn’t powder anymore. once the heat melts onto the film. It isn’t for everyone but there are far more dangerous professions out here. Not so dangerous if people wear the proper protection.
Is it only dangerous when making the DTF or do you need to be careful when you're applying it to a shirt also
Only when making the transfer. As far as we know.
Geez. Glad I didn't jump. I'll stick with embroidery and HTV. Thanks for this.
I just started using DTF powder, bought from Amazon, I do the hack where I use my epson printer that I converted to sublimation and I used the powder maybe 5/6 times without goggles or mask. Am I at risk? My eyes are red and irritated and I know for a fact that it’s from that.. I’m just worried about my lungs now
🤔🤔hmmmmm? Just got my machine, this is serious, thank you so so much. I wish bro Earnest speedy recovery.
Eye wear and a mask for you when dealing with the power.
Thank you so much, may God bless you and protect us .There is need to adjust on how the powder is being used.
Is there a risk to buying dtf hang sheets and pressing them at home?
No one knows but I highly doubt it. Pressing DTFs is probably safer than second hand smoke or smelling house hold cleaning agents but…. We do not know for sure. No one knows.
That powder makes me sneeze and that was me opening a package of a transfer so I would never use it I rather use a white tones printer
companies probably aint gonna change much in selling this stuff if anything or i think they might do is put disclaimers/ buyer beware up on product pages. Hope thats not the case and hope maybe some go back to the drawing table and maybe find other sources to make this stuff safer
They have the technology. Gonna cost us more but I’ve seen sealed off enclosures to protect from the powder going everywhere. The thing is setting up and taking all the safety measures isn’t all on them. People don’t want to spend the extra money on protecting themselves. Most people just want the cheapest dtf printer. Or the cheapest anything sublimation, dtg, embroidery machine. 3everyone just wants the cheapest. The companies cater to the demand. Demand safely and we will get safety. It’s gonna cost more though. People ain’t ready for that. So what do we do.
@@adubbproductions that’s good to hear and agree, I recently got a laser not long ago and one of the things I looked for was for something more enclosed and even with that ended up adding inline fan to help push fumes out.
When i use the powder to make transfers.i go outside to make transfers...was thinking about getting a dtf machine... I think i will wait now...
The fumes from a heat press gotta be bad also....
I see the funes like 2nd hand smoke from a cigarette...
I can see steam sometimes while heat pressing.
Since we started tiktok shop, we have been using dtf transfers because of the 3 day time frame..
Thanks for the information..
God bless mr earnest....
Thank, thought about doing DRT., but don't have the space. You take care of your body.😊
This one girl on UA-cam had a big machine in her house with her family😮
HTV may be old but the safest 🤷🏾♂️ thanks for sharing tho’
Same thing with epoxy. Take extra Precautions
SO is this only when you are printing this stuff or can it also be harmful when doing the hack using the powder ?
ALLEN! Brother I have literally been putting off buying DTF equipment because of your warnings and thoughts on what the fumes and powders may cause without the proper setup/equipment. These talks are especially important when DTF is being pushed EVERYWHERE on TikTok and other socials right now. I really appreciate your videos and Insight on anything business. Keep up the great work 🫡
Is it Toxic in evaporated form only or is it like Asbestos in a way that touching it after its on the design can cause illness ?
I only did it once i threw the powder into the trash. Will never use it again.i will buy transfers if i need them. I do sublimation much safer
I have been followin you for a while, in the beginnin of your dtf journey you just like others did not do anything but turn the machine on and let it work so hopefully everyone watches the changes your gonna make now and follow your guidance, my words are if you (VENT ITS NOT MEANT) for me personally. sometimes the search for money can be dangerous, but thank you for the awareness video
That really sucks, I wonder how it effects you when your printing them?
Also look into buying and installing an exhaust fan, it will help tremendously folks
Thanks for sharing, I was one of the first to see Brother E's video. Very sad. Pressing transfers (pre made) seems fine though (especially if Oeko tex powder and ink). I'll still wear respirator even when pressing
Thank you for sharing this information I would have never known the DTF is toxic
Thanks for sharing this information. A lot of us crafters have tried dtf hacks in the home where our pets also reside. If your pets are like mine, wherever I am they are. Make sure they're not around when using dtf powder also. I know 1st hand that dogs can get just about every illness we do. I just lost one of mine to cancer last Nov. Praying for Brother Earnest.
So we shouldn't do the DTF back?
Thank for bringing this awareness to our Community, I shared this out 🙏🏾Blessings to you 💙
Thank you for sharing. Just bought a small system and was thinking this as I have been setting up. It such that I just bought into it but I won’t be continuing. Your video just confirmed my fears. ❤
Thank you for your informative video. It's 13 years since I've been working in the print industry. I've never seen any labels on my CMYK toners. Not one.
But today I read this one.
⚠️ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemical including styrene, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.
Insane. Be safe my friend.
I think the suit go over your clothes. I ordered a couple of them when Covid started. I ordered the whole set like you have purchased.
have you hear about a new printing technique very similar to DTF, but that dont clog your printer?
its called FTS, invented by a colombian company apparently.
I’ve never heard of it. But I’ll take a look. I don’t have any printer clog issues though. I leave mine sit for a week at a time with no issue. Does that method use powder? Tell me more.
Thank you for sharing this video and prayers to him for his speedy recovery for now on I’m going to cure my sheets outside and with a mask on
Do you oeko-tex your products to check their safety?
No. Don’t know what that is. What is that?

OEKO-Tex® is an independent certification system that tests and certifies textiles and accessories at all stages of production. OEKO-Tex® certified heat transfers are tested for harmful substances and are guaranteed to be free from harmful substances. This includes substances that are not yet regulated by law but are known to be harmful.
OEKO-Tex® certified heat transfers are tested for more than 100 different substances, including harmful chemicals, allergenic dyes, and heavy metals. This certification system is widely recognized and respected in the textile industry, and OEKO-Tex® certified products are considered to be of high quality.
Just order DTF prints. Is the ROI on owning, maintaining, the required PPE, selling prints worth the health risk?
For me yes. I just want people to be aware of what could happen if they don’t take the necessary precautions. It’s not for everyone. I don’t have an issue with hazardous conditions. As long as I have the proper gear im mine.
as long as proper measures are taken should be ok, like you said always exposed to something.
I worked for a textile company in the office for many years and everyone there ended up with Cancer, most died including my sister in law whom I worked with for over ten years.
Brother Earnest my prayers are with you 🙏❤️
That is very unfortunate and sad to hear.
Thanks for the info and I have ordered my PPE cause my system will be here soon. Prayers to Ernest.

So happy I saw this when I did woah
