If you put the Teflon sheet back over it and press again for 5 to 10 seconds I think you will see a large difference. Dtf actually requires two presses. One like you did and another to finish it, after the second you will see the gloss factor will be much more intense. Love watching.
@@boylesrena11 Not at all. It does matter what color shirt you use, I find I still go back to ppd transfer for black or dark. If doing a color print there is no cutting and weeding. The colors change depending on the color of the shirt. Wish dtf workes all all colors but it doesn't. Have you tried ppd transfer paper. You have to cut it around the design if you don't want the square look. But no problem with the cut and pr8nt software and cutters, press 13 seconds and done, no second press. Colors are true and use the dark shirt paper, it works on all color shirts, no mirroring.
I do DTF printing and press my prints @ 150°C for 10 seconds. The reason for cold pealing is for the melted glue to cool as to not come off the fabric when peeling. The shorter press time avoids the bubbles in your prints. The powder glue actually starts boiling after a maximum of 15 seconds and causes the bubbles you see in the Gnomes hats. A second press is done with silicone paper to set the print. Hope this helps 😉
@@engelavanwyk7731 I am new to this and learning a lot, can you tell me what you mean with a second press? do you mean after its pressed 10 seconds, cools and peels that you press it again with the silicone paper only? also if you mentioned the powder boils after 15 seconds should it be heated on the heat plate before being pressed? I've seen this done in a couple videos.
I thought I would want to just skip to the process as a lot of people ramble in vain but I literally was glued from beginning to end. You’ve definitely got a new subscriber ❤
Delonda, you are the only UA-camr that I have sent some $$ to. I love your energy and the amount of clear and honest detail you provide is amazing. Thank you!
This is the first video I've watched on sublimation because I really thought it was going to be beyond my ability but after watching your instructions I have no doubt at all that I can do this! I'll probably be up all night watching your other videos. Thank you so much for making these and for your bubbly and enthusiastic personality :)
Hi Delonda, I have never seen an tutorial demonstrated so professional just want to say thank you so very much. I feel like you the only u-tuber I need to watch again thank you🤩
I totally agree. Very through and professional. Your teaching method is superb 👍🏾. I receive so well from you. You keep it so so simple. My brain 🧠 can sometimes become dyslexic but not watching your tutorials. Again, thank you!
You’re awesomeness in a UA-cam jug!!! 😂. Let me tell you why. You do not talk to much, just enough. Quick facts for this mom and teacher. Lastly, You are all about time and money. Thats my girl!!! You find the simple methods and tell us what we need and been searching to hear all in one video. Quick and to the point. Did I say you do not blabber to do this. Short and sweet. Keep up the great work.
I came back a year later to review before I gave this DTF hack a try again. Last year, getting the film to load in my Epson ET-2760 was tedious and aggravating. BUT!!! Your tip to stack paper behind it on the tray WORKED THE FIRST TIME AND BEAUTIFULLY! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❣️ Now, I'm off to try printing on parchment paper next. 🤞
I love that you did it with a grey shirt because folks only use white or black and it is good to see how it will look with other color shirts. Thank you. btw, you are beautiful!!!
I love this method! I have not tried sublimation on a shirt, but this encourages me to try it. Also, thank you for reminding us that we don't have to use the brands that you use. People tend to get stuck on a particular brand just because the content creator uses it, even though it might be out of budget. Great tutorial, as always 🥰
You are an Amazing Educator, Teacher, Instructor!!! I’m so happy I found your channel. You literally “walk” newbies through the process. I want to sublimate clothing just for personal, /grandkids. You have simplified the process. I’ve watched your other AND subscribed Bless you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for the content. I usually don’t comment on videos; however your content is straightforward and definitely encouraging. I thank God for your energy and willingness to share.
I have an Epson 2800 and I am using the same ink. I put my setting on photo paper and no need to tape paper behind it which can take away from your printing area depending on your image size or stack papers behind it. I hope this helps someone. :)
Delonda, I just stumbled upon your video. Thank you thank you thank you! Long story but I’ll try to make it short. I’ve been following many coaches as I try to take my business to new heights. Someone recommended I get an Epson ET 15000 to do eco solvent dtf prints. I ordered it the same day. I let my cousin whose been in business longer than me talk me out of doing DTF but I couldn’t get the hang of regular sublimation. So now I’ve had my printer two months ($762) and haven’t used it since my first try with photoshop. The color that printed wasn’t the color on the laptop screen. BUUUUT you just gave me hope. I love Microsoft. I help others with the software virtually. I’m going to give it another try now using your method.
This is was super helpful. I purchased the DTF supplies a month or so ago but was to intimidated to try. Your video was a great step by step and appreciate the pros and cons. Thanks again. Tracy. 😊❤
Your tutorials are great. I watched this one 3x's. The first 2 to build my confidence, the 3rd one we went step by step together. My first one turned out pretty good. The ink smeared a little when it printed, but that's ok. Thank you so much.
That was a great introduction to what my husband and I are interested in getting involved in for a side hustle. Thank you so much for walking us through! The Gnomies sublimation looks great!
Complete and thorough description and tutorial from beginning to end! Great job! Usually people skip steps assuming the viewer knows what is next. This video was super helpful and I subscribed immediately because I like your explanations. Thank you!
Subscribed! You are awesome. You explain the process so well and to be honest I’m less intimidated to try sublimation because of you. I didn’t like that white polyester was my only choice and now I’m thinking of diving in. Thank you!
That was amazing! Thanks for doing it even though it’s not your favorite method. I appreciate it so much! I think the cost is much less than estimated because the initial cost of the powder can be spread across multiple shirts and remainder that doesn’t stick to an image goes back into the container. Again, my thanks!
Yes I definitely said shake it but don’t break and shake it like a Polaroid picture. Omg I was rolling on the floor when you said that. I love your spirit and your beautiful smile. Bless you and thanks for the tutorial. You’re the best!!! 💙🤗
I would only suggest using the DTF sublimation hack if you have a large, well-ventilated work area. I did the DTF sublimation hack with a different brand DTF powder - and in my small house, it caused me to have breathing issues. It doesn't have a smell, so be cautious or use protective equipment.
I enjoy learning from you and your content. It doesn't feel gimmicky and you explain everything in such great detail, that I can watch it one time and be able to make what you have just taught! Thank you for making learning easy for people like me, an audio-visual learner!! I hope you continue to be successful because you rock lady! 🤘😃
I love your videos, I've been following you for a little while and I love the step by steps and the transparency 😍 I really enjoy making shirts just trying to get this sublimation down pack🤦🏾♀️
I am not sure why most of the people given instructions talk a lot. However, you talking was plain and simple. Thanks so much for helping me use all these items I have purchased for dtf’s printing and sublimation.
I always learn something new from your videos Delonda ... no matter the topic. I picked up a new Epson printer during Amazon Prime days and can't wait to try all this new stuff. Thank you dear lady. ❤️
Thank you for this. I love how you showed everything steps by step (and slowly too :) ) As a novice in printing shirts, this is truly appreciated. You just got another subscriber :)
I am new to sublimation! Will be doing this to raise money for my animal rescue. I learned so much from you I cannot explain how much you have helped me! Thank you so much and I may be reaching out with questions hope that is ok.
Glad it was helpful! I really don't offer one-on-one support because I have to balance my time in all of my other roles: wife, mom, professional, content creator, etc. You are welcome to join my Facebook group. They are helpful and kind.
I watch your channel all the time and I did buy that printer paper but could not figure out how to use it until I watched this video it was so helpful thank you delonda
Thanks for the great video, Delonda. Your way of feeding the sheets works great. Pure genius. Keep up the great work. I'm 87 years old and learning every day.
I've been using HTV backing for my sublimation t's. This is a game changer because I really don't like the feel of the backing on cotton t's. I'm going to be changing my process, thanks to you. You really explain the process better than other vids I've watched. Thank you so much!
Thank you SO much! I was getting ready to send back the sublimation printers, in, and paper as it was just seeming too complicated! Love this video - I feel relieved and grateful!
Very good tutorial. First time watching anything about DTF. I will be trying. Yes extra steps, but easier and more cost effective and more color variety to be able to not have to just press on white polyester!!! Thanks for taking the time!!!❤
Thank you.. wow don't have convert a printer to dtf.. that is a miracle in it's self. I will watch your updates. The commenters are also so helpful. Thank you for reading them and responding so we get a wider view.
I have been watching a ton of videos, but inhave to say yours is the most informative..I have been wabting to do this since I was a little girl....and the printer demonstration with the file and using Word program to do my designs.., amazing....you are so easy and simple to listen to, and your ways you mention are easy to understand. Thank you.
Yes, this answered my ? After seeing other hacks. No one said you could actually use a sublimation printer. I truly appreciate your video as always. Thank you and continue to use your Blessed Hands to help 💕 others
TYVM - my Daughter offered my services to do some shirts & sweatshirts putting a design on them for a campground - told her no way am I going to do 20 of these with vinyl -lol - of course they wanted cotton Hahaha - just came across you today & i'm loving all you do TYVM
Thank you so much for this video! I was contemplating buying one of the dtf printers but didn’t what to pay $4000. I have a sublimination printer and I’m going to try this! ❤❤❤ Thanks for the hack.
Excellent instructional video. Things to notice that viewers should be aware: 1. substituting other products other than what you have demonstrated simply induces more variables that will alter the outcomes. 2. INK tracking WILL occur. Your printer was printing at a very, very, slow speed allowing ink to dry more completely. But tracking WILL occur eventually. 3. Wet ink is what attracts the adhesive powder to bond to the image. The 'whiter' the result of the powdering process the better the adhesive coating will be and therefore the durability of the print on the cotton substrate. 4. Yes, this is a costly (comparative) method to hack incompatible methods. However, consider the full cost of doing a proper print on cotton, especially black fabric. In comparison, the hack you demonstrated is a CHEAP way to print on black cotton with an acceptable soft feel. 5. Put that press on a cart with wheels. If doing multiple garments, being outdoors during the pressing (curing) of the DTF transfer will prove to be a very wise action. Every DTF system makes it clear in bold red letters that ventilation is a process REQUIREMENT. There is no amount of chemical gases that are safe to inhale. I find the humidity within the garments and the chemicals related to the origin of the garments outgas during the pre-press such significant levels of unknown gasses that ventilating in the press area is a major concern if doing 10 or more garments in a row. I do intend to acquire the products you have demonstrated and take my own DFT journey. I will modify my printer to insure those rollers do not track ink onto subsequent prints. I don't think those exit rollers are essential. Keep up the awesome instructional work you do.
To note- your comment about “whiter” powder is not correct. Only white ink will do this. You will never do this hack successfully on a dark or black shirt. The powder is just glue. It cures transparent. Also since the stretchy powder glue has no stretchy white ink to bind to, it will eventually crack and fail (tests show a 15% loss of color after the first wash, and cracking at 8-10 washes. This is not not a via commercial application. For personal use, sure. The video though was outstanding as I’m sure you’ll agree. And thank you for your comment about proper ventilation. We have entire ventilation systems to extract the smoke, which contains glycol.
I meant not a viable commercial application. Also your tracking wheel comment is on point. And to add: for those that have printers without a straight exit tray, a straight exit is vital to avoid scratching. You’ll need to build something.
I do not follow people on yt because you get bombarded with adds and / or 10k notifications a day. However, this video just changed my way of thinking. I am a teacher 1st grade. Our classrooms look amazing because our paychecks make them. No government federal nor state provide the items we need to teach and produce successful learners. In order to purchase the things my students need, I have to get crefty in every sense of the word. I craft and sell and then build my rooms needs one project at a time. Your tutorial answered so many questions. I am liking, suscribing, and turning on notifications for your channel. I also shared your link to absolutely every one of my co-crafting teachers who depend on these methods to further our students. You are amazing, and if I were in charge of your report card, you would be an A+ Earner on the principals honors list. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was a win for me. I had no problems, thanks to your share. I bought all of my supplies 8months ago. I finally got it done.
THANK YOU for addressing that annoying flashing light I have worried for a month now that I got a bad one., and have been unplugging it. You just gave me the green light that mine is safe to use.
Thanks for instructions that were very clear and concise. I am no longer afraid to try this process. I’m new to the sublimation and have a small space in a shop to sell items. Cotton tshirts are now on the list. Better value and no more vinyl unless requested.🎉
I loved this video, you do such a good job. You speak clearly and not too fast. I was watching a couple of others from another channel but they spoke so fast it hurt my brain. 😉 I love your gnome shirt as well.
I've watched a couple of your videos, but as soon as I saw the little red hand pointer I had to subscribe!!
😂🤣😂🤣 that made laugh so hard!

I do intend to acquire the products you have demonstrated and take my own DFT journey. I will modify my printer to insure those rollers do not track ink onto subsequent prints. I don't think those exit rollers are essential. Keep up the awesome instructional work you do.
To note- your comment about “whiter” powder is not correct. Only white ink will do this. You will never do this hack successfully on a dark or black shirt. The powder is just glue. It cures transparent. Also since the stretchy powder glue has no stretchy white ink to bind to, it will eventually crack and fail (tests show a 15% loss of color after the first wash, and cracking at 8-10 washes. This is not not a via commercial application. For personal use, sure. The video though was outstanding as I’m sure you’ll agree. And thank you for your comment about proper ventilation. We have entire ventilation systems to extract the smoke, which contains glycol.
I meant not a viable commercial application. Also your tracking wheel comment is on point. And to add: for those that have printers without a straight exit tray, a straight exit is vital to avoid scratching. You’ll need to build something.
Thank you ❤️
You are an awesome teacher! ❤. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I do not follow people on yt because you get bombarded with adds and / or 10k notifications a day. However, this video just changed my way of thinking. I am a teacher 1st grade. Our classrooms look amazing because our paychecks make them. No government federal nor state provide the items we need to teach and produce successful learners. In order to purchase the things my students need, I have to get crefty in every sense of the word. I craft and sell and then build my rooms needs one project at a time. Your tutorial answered so many questions. I am liking, suscribing, and turning on notifications for your channel. I also shared your link to absolutely every one of my co-crafting teachers who depend on these methods to further our students. You are amazing, and if I were in charge of your report card, you would be an A+ Earner on the principals honors list. Thank you so much.
Wow! That is literally one of the highest compliments I have ever received. Thank you very much and welcome aboard ❤️
Finally! I have been trying to find someone to show the process from beginning to end. Thank you for sharing!

THANK YOU for addressing that annoying flashing light I have worried for a month now that I got a bad one., and have been unplugging it. You just gave me the green light that mine is safe to use.
Yes!
Thanks for instructions that were very clear and concise. I am no longer afraid to try this process. I’m new to the sublimation and have a small space in a shop to sell items. Cotton tshirts are now on the list. Better value and no more vinyl unless requested.🎉
