    This video was so informative. I truly had no idea about most of these concerns. I've only ordered DTF prints and am just looking into getting a printer at home.

      I honestly didn't give it much thought at first, either. I'm glad you found it useful!

    I recently attended a Heat Press Nation live stream selling their DTF equipment. Should have heard the song and dance they gave when I asked about the health & safety concerns.

      YEP. This is what I mean when I say that we as an industry are definitely not taking DTF printing seriously enough!

    Hey Cori, thanks for this informative video. I really wanted a DTF machine until I heard about the health concerns. Not worth it, in my option. I love DTF transfers and pick my transfers up locally.

      I found a local place too so I can save on shipping!

    thanks so much Cori, hubby and I tried DTG printing a year and half ago with a kit from Amazon, with NO clue how bad it could be for our health. The shirts didn't turn out as well as we were hoping so we ditched that idea. How safe is it to heat press DTF prints that we buy from a professional printing company, such as Heat Press Nation?

      Just have some ventilation - fan to move the air around. Other than that, it’s minimal risk!

      @@HeyLetsMakeStuff - "Just have some ventilation - fan to move the air [outside]." Fixed it for you. Fresh air exchange is what you want for VOC/fume removal from the space.
