    Thank you! I just bought an 8 in 1 heat press. I've watched several of your videos tonight and feel much better informed. Looking forward to seeing more!!

    This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! We wanted to expand and either go with a DTF or white toner and I was getting confused but this solved it that I want to go white toner as it would work best for my use! I already have a large 15x15 heat press so now I just need the printer, lol. Thank you! 🙂

      Angie do you feel white toner prints are as vibrant and durable as DTF. I outsource my dtfs
      But sometimes I want to print somethings on my own...

    Are the final results between DTF and the white toner printer the same? I heard DTF looks much better than the white toner printer. Thank you for the info.

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  5 місяців тому +1

      The look similar to me. The feel is a bit better with DTF right after pressing.

    Angie, thank you so much for this video, if price wasn’t a concern, I would get a white toner printer. I will have to find prints for now. I’m hoping places like 143 will start selling the prints as well.

    Very informative! Ideally if I had a business that was busy enough I would love to have all 3 in a site outside of my home. That is not a likelihood for me but I do order DTF prints and love them! I have not seen any White Toner print sellers in my area (or even outside it) to be able to try that yet. But I have a question - can any less expensive printers be converted to either DTF or white toner the way Epson's can be converted to sublimation? And if so, how difficult is the conversion?

    Does the Cricut Autopress provide enough pressure for both the DTF and White Toner prints?

      DTF it does work. White toner it does not.

    Can you tell me about washes? I do a dark paper printable sublimation and hate how fast it deteriorates during washing. I wount be printing everyday so i am leanimg towards white toner but how are the products after washing?

    • @AngieHolden

      When applied correctly, white toner lasts about 50 washes. I also like the way it wears after washing.

    Hello Angie
    I watch your video blogs all the time. Thank you for always keeping me educated and updated.
    I'm interested in the white toner printer from HeatTransfer Warehouse. I want to be able to print on any fabric. I currently have the HTVRONT heat press. Do you think this press would be ok to use with the white toner printer?
    Thank you in advance

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  5 місяців тому +1

      I would NOT use the press with white toner. I would get a traditional heat press so you can apply heavy pressure.

    I'm looking to be able to print onto both synthetic and cotton apparel and I was looking at the SG500 or the SG1000 with the Chromacast ink system for the cotton part of it, but I may have to buy an addition printer to use with the normal sublijet inks for the polyester apparel. Ultimately, I'd like to get myself a DTG printer, but I'm looking at big money there!!!. How does the SG500 go with printing to t-shirts, since they seem to recommend its bigger sibling for that job instead?

    • @AngieHolden
      @AngieHolden  4 місяці тому

      I don't have issues with doing shirts on my SG500. But yes the sublimation ink would only be for shirts that have polyester. For cotton, you would need another option. Maybe you could order DTF prints for a while for those until you can get another printer?

      I would not count on it. I would get a regular press as white toner requires heavy pressure that is consistent.

      They make ovens that are specifically for this with an air filter. Those are the only ones I would use.

    Hi Angie- I love your videos. They are so helpful, but I am confused as to which direction I should take for heat transferring designs onto cotton/jute tote bags and cotton wristlets. I have been looking everywhere for no weed heat transfer paper. I called Magic Touch and they recommended their T-One paper. I was assured I could print on my laser printer and then just heat press. It did not work and the paper was expensive. I do not know if I should purchase the DTF Prestige A4 printer. Do you have any suggestions for the products I mentioned? I already have the Sawgrass printer for sublimating mugs and clipboards I would be so grateful for your suggestions. Thank you, Amanda Bush

      @@AngieHolden Hi Angie- Thank you so much for your help. I actually did see this video, but unfortunately my designs are full color. Do you do any designs with full color and heat transfer to products like the tote bags or cotton wristlets? I used to sublimate onto the cotton wristlets with paper used in a sublimation printer, but the results were not to my quality standards. The colors were not as intense as when I used heat transfer paper. Unfortunately when I cut around my designs I can still see the remaining residue. So I was considering DTF. If you have any other suggestions I would be very grateful. Thank you so much! Amanda

    Hey! love your videos really helped me get started in sublimation. ❤ I was wondering if maybe you could find time to a video on fluorescent sublimation ink? There isn’t much information about using an epson with just 4 colors despite the fluorescent ink says you can use an epson 2800 just switch out the yellow and magenta. I would much appreciate if you can help me out 🙏
