What DTF are you using Nick? Our UltraColor Max DTF washes and wears great- Independently tested to 50+ wash cycles. We're currently on wash #3 here on these samples with no issues.
Really appreciate your interest in seeing the durability, thanks for letting us know... we'll let you know that the wash testing has begun! After the first cycle things are looking pristine!
This was such a useful video, I was hesitant about continuing to use DTF transfers because I didn't love how glossy the prints were especially when using colors with a lot of contrast. I think I'm definitely going to try these out to make them have more of a screen print look. I'd love to see the wash tests!
The right DTF makes all of the difference, we've found some of the lower-priced DTF transfers out there look quite glossy- But these tests sure do change some of that. The UltraColor Max DTF we were using here is a great base to start!
That's awesome to hear Derrick! It really does leave a nice texture that looks almost identical to a screen printing screen. The Canvas texture really surprised us in this test too! Are you post pressing every project?
I've been using something like the canvas, actually a tote bag split in half and has been a game changer last few prints. Going to try the grip tape, loved the look. I'm just concerned about the size. Most grip tapes are 9" wide so you'd need to almost double it up for the width. I wonder if the seam where they meet will cause an issue.. Just ordered and will find out soon..
The canvas or T-Shirt fabrics are definitely popular, and seeing these results we totally understand why! As for the sizing of grip tape- Easily purchasable Skateboard grip tape is sized for boards, however we did see a few variations available up to 24" wide rolls. The seam would likely transfer to the image, but the texture may hide it... please let us know how it turns out!
Hallo Alex! UltraColor™ MAX is available in two sizes: 56 x 50 cm and 56 x 100 cm in Germany: transfer.stahlseurope.de/page/transfers/ultracolor-max-transfer Here in the states, our max size is 24 x 22"
We've used a similar coversheet to the tseal with a slight texture and coating- In previous attempts at using it the texture is similar to the craft paper we used in this video with results or changes to the fabric very hard to see on camera. Wash testing is now underway, stay tuned for the update.
Great Question Scott- We haven't found that limit yet- With the tests that we've done and some of our office staff trying it, we're likely at 30-40 presses with it so far with no wear showing. I would image if it creases it may start to show some of the texture in the print.
Definitely want to see the wash test.
Thanks for letting us know, wash testing has begun! After the first cycle things are unchanged and washing great!
would deff like to see the print after a couple of washes
Thanks Stefan, Wash testing incoming!
It’s dtf man, there will be no print after a couple washes 😂

@ I was just being a wise guy because I’m a screen printer and don’t like DTF, you’re products are top notch please don’t mind me 🙌🏻
Definitely would love to see a print after several washes! Thanks for the great video!

A wash test will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for this vid!
The wash test is underway and preliminary results are looking great, stay tuned Allan!
Wash test!! I use an oven sheet, I have tried different materials and textures over the years silicone and Teflon
I really like the skateboard grip tape look and wondering if it last.
We're definitely going to test it now, it really adds an incredible texture to the print.

@transferexpress
how long do you do the additional press for the grit tape, canvas, silicon, etc? same temp/pressure as UCM?
Yes! I’d love to see how these wash up.
Wash test incoming Rhona! As a sneak peek- the first few cycles look awesome
The flexible app pad is my go to of choice.

What can cause a small bump under a DTF transfer on a shirt? Also, how can you make the transfer feel less like plastic?
Will It last? Or does the skateboard grip tape affect the durability`?
Would love to see if it has durability
Wash testing inbound!
What are the biggest Size Transfers ? Din A2 ? because we need big backprints vor Oversize Fits ! Greetz from Germany. Alex

Would love to see wash test. What about TSeal?

How many times can you use the skateboard tape?
