After the cured film cools off I use a pencil eraser to remove the roller marks that can't be cut off. Bush lightly with a paint brush to remove pieces of the eraser. Works great for me.
Thank you so much for your awesome tutorial! I have an Epson 2720 Ecotank printer for sublimation & with your awesome tutorial, I was able to make my first test run! Guess what? No roller marks. Thank you so much!
Yay!!!! I am so happy for you not having those darned roller marks!!! That is wonderful news! Thanks so much for watching and letting me know how your experience went.
All printers are different but with DTF the more ink the more pizza wheeling. Normal with photo matte May work but plain paper normal most likely be the best. Good luck
I believe I have a video showing through 2 washes, and then I have seen Crafting with Delonda do a wash test video on this hack. I have found this hack washes nicely.
Thank you so much for this video! You explained it so well. I have epson sublimation printer, and I haven’t had any trouble printing on the DTF paper. The problem I’ve been having it is it’s taking longer for the ink to melt from the powder on my DTF paper. But thank you so much for the wonderful explanation on how to do this. You are amazing.
I was having the same problem printing the image on the film. I’m going to have to use that paper hack. Loved your video and tips! THANK YOU! Such a cute design.
Thank you so much for sharing! I have been trying to learn how to make DTF transfer’s because I make so many custom items so your tutorial really helped me save some coins!!
Use a long piece of masking tape on the top to hold the two sheets together works like a charm!! U place small amount on film and fold over the rest to paper.
I use double sided tape to attach the sheet of printer paper, so I don' get ink build up on the tape if I need the design to cover the whole DTF to the edges. Thank you for your videos!.
I print from my f570 and I don't get any roller marks. However; I do stand and hold the print as it comes out so that the ink doesn't run. I learned from experience on that one.
Thank you Marilyn for this Video. Well explained. This is just the video that I have been looking for. Looking forward to more tutoring from you. Be Blessed!
Thank you very much the product I bought game without any instructional video all written instructions you helped me a lot and getting the great result that I have achieved❤🎉😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉
I've washed the shirt twice today and it's in the dryer for the second time. I will do a follow up video to show the results, as well as to show this process on other colors. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!!!
Mine have held up very well. I sent one to my great nephew and he wears his a lot. It's been at least 6 months ago and his mother said his shirt still looks very good. Delonda of Crafting with Delonda has a wash test video on her channel for this hack.
The most challenging part for me was figuring out how to get that film to go through my printer:) I hope it works well for you! The technique is so nice!
You are awesome! I am just starting with my T-shirt business and made the rookie mistake of putting sublimation ink in my printer instead of DTF ink. This video saved me money...thank you, thank you, thank you and God Bless.
Great tutorial and great result 😍 to confirm you cured the adhesive powder at 390 degrees and 120seconds, lowered the heat to press at 325 degrees for 10s, let cool for 10s then repressed with parchment paper same heat for 10s? I am Australian so I can’t get yamation which a lot of people seem to be using.. I got one that is double sided so I’m going to test if I can use both sides… thanks for sharing your success! ❤
Yes, that is correct. However, I have seen some people who have cured it for a shorter time and yesterday when I was doing this on several samples, 60 seconds was enough. So, watch it and once it turns clearish (you will see a distinct change), don't heat too much longer because it can burn according to people I have seen use dtf powder on dtf ink. Thanks for watching!
@@kamilbihari I print it on a printer that has sublimation ink in it. I put the sublimation ink in the printer when I bought it instead of the ink that came with it. A lot of crafters do this with Epson Ecotank printers.
Second time watching. You always have a hack up your sleeve - lol. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for crafting. Best regards and God bless...
I’ve only used medium and fine. They discontinued the fine so I only use medium now. I probably wouldn’t use the black with the hack since the sublimation inks aren’t opaque.
Thank you for the great video. I enjoy sublimation but a lot of my customers are asking for color shirts. I will try this as soon as I get the powder. How does it do when washed? Sorry if you have a video on that and I missed it.
It washes well, assuming your image is placed well on the shirt. I believe Crafting with Delonda has a wash test video on this Sublimation/DTF Hack process.
Thanks so much Roberta! The hardest part for me was figuring out how to get it to print on my printer. There are several tricks out there, but taping it to a sheet of printer paper is what eventually worked for me. Using painters tape at the top wasn't enough for my printer.
@@MakingwithMarilyn I’m 76 retired learning sublimation and love it . Do you know if I can do this on black hats? I’ve seen some videos on black shirts that did. Thank you so much for responding
@@BobbieBTexas You cannot do the sublimation dtf hack directly onto black hats. To do so, you would have to use a second hack. I have seen Cricuting with Delonda use this hack on a black shirt by placing a white base down first, but I do not remember what material she used as the base. I would check out her videos on it and you should find it.
Yes, just don’t let the platen come down and make contact with the powder. It’s easier with a swing away but you could probably hold the platen on a clamshell up with wood blocks or something like that.
When you cure the powder in the heat press before pressing it onto fabric, do you cover the top of the powder with anything? I use a teflon sheet when I press, wondering if it'll just end up sticking to that or the top of my heat press?
So you want to put the DTF transfer on something that is plastic? I've never tried that, but the powder acts as the glue, so I would think you need it. I'm not sure if plastic will take the heat, though. Let me know if you try it?
Thank you for watching! I have used both my dtf printer and the sublimation printer for this hack to make prints on dtf film. The dtf powder adheres the hack transfers to the shirt and mine have laundered nicely.
For this hack, you would need to use DTF film. If you want to press this onto polyester, then you could just use regular sublimation paper like A Sub paper. Thanks for watching.
I tried it on dark fabric to test it and it isn’t good unfortunately. I either showed it in a video or a Live event, but it didn’t really show up on darker fabric.
@@shawnteosby9517 I did a search and I found Crystal Ann on Design Bundles do this with a Sawgrass printer. I don't know what brand of film she used, though.
Hi Marily. Question? Do you know if the Yamation DTF powder is less hazardous as the other DTF Powder. I read that most DTF powders are harmful. With that being said, I wonder if I were to use a glitter background with a printed DTF film will work without having to use the DTF powder?
I think they are probably all made from the same basic things, so I recommend using precautions and the appropriate PPE when using any of them, especially if you are using them on a regular basis. I don't see that working, but if you try it, let me know if it works for you.
Absolutely, it is a success👍. Unbelievable demonstration and point on without time wasting compared to other videos -Thank you😊! So, I noticed you heat the DTF film with HTVRont heatpress, then you use a standard heatpress, Why? I received my HTVRont a few days ago and haven’t had time to use it. Is there an issue with pressure using the HTVRont is why you went with the standard press to do the t-shirt? If so, why not bump up the heat and timer when doing a shirt on the HTVRont (If it the reason not to use this heatpress) Sorry for all these question. Otherwise, really enjoyed watching your video😎
Thank you so much! I'm glad you have asked questions you are curious about. I have not tried doing the DTF hack transfers on the HTV Ront press. I love the press, but I very much dislike the pressing pad that came with it. In the last several days, I have received a much denser pad that I purchased off of Amazon. Now I will try doing the DTF transfers on it. Also, since I heat the ink and powder at 385, but I only press at 325, it was easy to lease the HTV Ront press at high heat and leave the other press on lower heat. Stay tuned, though, I will try the HTV Ront press with it. I have seen at least 2 other creators use it with this hack and it worked fine.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Wow, awesome fast replay and thank you 😊. I subscribed after last comment but didn’t have time what videos you made. That said, If you sew why not make your own pads instead of buying? This way you can make all different thickness. Whereby for each projects there is the right thickness of pads to use from. Just a suggestion. Again, thank you so much for quick reply! 😎
I've never used a roll feed, but would love to someday. Hopefully someone with an F570 will see this and provide some input to you. Thank you so much for watching!
I don’t understand why the powder is on the outside and when you press it the powder is facing up? Wouldn’t it need to be face down on the shirt so the powder crystals stick to the shirt? Thanks
In the part of the video where the powder is facing up, it is just sitting under an open heat press to cure or melt the powder. After that, you turn it over and press it to your shirt or whatever you are adding it to. Thanks for watching.
I washed the shirt twice and showed how it looked at both washings on another video. The shirt was for a friend. I have heard other people say they have washed a shirt made this way several times and they look great.
This is Yamation and it is on Amazon. Here are some links: Yamation Film (15 sheets or 50 sheets) amzn.to/3tMLRKY Yamation Film (larger print size) amzn.to/3EXtKZj Yamation DTF Powder (various sizes available) amzn.to/3tLGbkh
That's correct. You cannot print white, which I talked about in the second half of the video. If you have white parts in your image and you want them to show as white, you will have to use a white shirt. And like regular sublimation, it must be used on lighter fabrics since there is no white ink backing the image like there is in true DTF ink projects. Thank you so much for watching.
Yes. This will work on 100% or cotton blends. It will work on poly, but you might as well just sublimate if using 100% poly. It does require a light colored shirt, though.
Hi, Marilyn I have a question, first and farmost thank you for the infor. what type of shirt you use that said Gap. The Material type? Oh by the way I tried Hacks too but it was a bum, I Littery just taped a piece of clear tape with two film pieces and it worked no matter what the setting says of paper, it worked so far. Thought I share it's easier than paper. LOL Thank you I Loved the shirt , Very nice work.
Thank you for the tip of using the tape! The shirt would have been a mostly cotton shirt. That's the beauty of this process is that you don't need high poly count shirts. Again, thanks for the tip.
The next video I made on this process was a wash/dry test of it. Check it out if you want, but it came through 2 wash and dry cycles very very well. ua-cam.com/video/YwioZxtrXpc/v-deo.html
I have yet to print with just sublimation ink only.. waiting on my printer. I have printed on the dtf film with my inkjet ink, and it's not as vibrant, but it still comes out nice! What I did with the film, if my pic wasn't big I put painters tape on the chemical side up and feed it through the back of the Canon eco printer and as it came out I took the tape off and added the powder.
I have seen people do that, but for some reason it would not work on my finicky printer:) Thank you for the idea though because it might help others reading the comments.
I don't know how long it can sit for sure, but I have waited a few days and there was no problem. True DTF can sit for a very long time before pressing. I don't see why this couldn't but I haven't tried it, so I do not know for sure.
With sublimation ink, the only way to have white to show in a design is to put the design on a white shirt. You would need an actual DTF printer to print white.
Are you wondering if you can use them as sublimation printers? I have seen many people use the Epson Workforce printers as sublimation printers, but I have only use the Epson EcoTank printers as sublimation printers so don't really have an opinion on other ones.
Great job!!!!! You inspired me. I’m going to give this a try…..AGAIN. My first few attempts was a runny mess. I tried two different brands of film and powder. Everyone 👍🏾 this video!!!!
Thank you so much Teonda!!! I really needed such positivity today😘 Do you remember what print settings you used when it was a runny mess? Maybe too much ink?
They have been good. If you happen to watch Crafting with Delonda (used to be Cricuting with Delonda), she showed hers after a few wash tests. I think I showed it on a video after 2 washes.
It looks great. Crafting with Delonda has at least one video showing her wash tests on the dtf hack. In the video she shows how it looks after multiple washings.
The heat press I set the powder under to melt/cure is an autopress, but I have the automatic feature deactivated so that it does not come down onto the powder. Thanks for watching!!!
The advantage of using this is for when you are not using at least 85% polyester, which is needed for sublimation. So, if you like cotton t-shirts, this is great. Like sublimation, though, the color of the shirt/fabric needs to be very light. Thanks so much for watching!
@@MakingwithMarilyn I completely forgot about that 🤣 I started sublimation using white htv under the sub vinyl. I think I will do my first true sublimation with poly shirts this Christmas I was commissioned for a project for a family. Thank you!
They are not intended to be reusable. I am not sure what would happen if you tried to reuse them. Typically I have a bit of "stain" left on my film, which I would worry about it possibly cause an issue to the next design. If you happen to try it, let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching!

I do not cover it when it is curing. The top doesn’t touch the powder while curing. It just hovers above it. Thanks for watching.
Did you use sublimation ink
Yes, for this hack, I used Hiipoo sublimation ink.
Hi Marilyn. If I want to use DTF film to dye sub plastic rather than fabric, do I still need DTF powder?
So you want to put the DTF transfer on something that is plastic? I've never tried that, but the powder acts as the glue, so I would think you need it. I'm not sure if plastic will take the heat, though. Let me know if you try it?
Hello did you use a printer with sublimation ink? And what kind of t-shirt you use?
Yes, I used sublimation ink on a 100 percent cotton shirt. For good results, the shirt needs to be a light color for this method.
Silly Question When you cure the powder are you just placing the picture in the press but not closing the lid?
Yes, that is correct. I just let the hot platen hover over the ink/powder.
So i have an actual dtf machine
Normally the white is the glue to keep from peeling after washing. How will this hack work?
Thank you for watching! I have used both my dtf printer and the sublimation printer for this hack to make prints on dtf film. The dtf powder adheres the hack transfers to the shirt and mine have laundered nicely.

Beautiful. Can I ask where I get the powder, as amazon says they don't have any. Thanks
Here is what I have used the most. It is on sale plus a 20% coupon right now. amzn.to/3X2PAAg
Question: How do I remove the marks from the printer roll, the same thing happens to me. thank you so much
I went ahead and added my powder and cured it. Then, I scraped off the marks that I could.
Could you use A Sub paper instead of the DTF Film?
For this hack, you would need to use DTF film. If you want to press this onto polyester, then you could just use regular sublimation paper like A Sub paper. Thanks for watching.
Le quedó hermoso ❤❤❤

Does it work on black shirts

Are you lowering the heat press on the sheet to cure it?
No, I just let the print sit under it and hover the top platen over it. Thank you for watching!

You can definitely store them but I don't know for how long. I would put them in a tub with a couple of silica packs in it to keep moisture at bay.

Can this method be used on dark fabric?
No, the sublimation DTF hack can only be used on light fabrics.
Was this T shirt blend or pure cotton?
This one was cotton, but you can use this method on a blend also.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Thanks soo much :)
Does this work with cotton shirts? How do lighter colors show on colored shirts?
Yes, it works on cotton shirts. Lighter colors do not show up well on colored shirts.
Thanks for this video
You’re very welcome.
What brand is this and where can I buy it please
This is Yamation and it is on Amazon. Here are some links: Yamation Film (15 sheets or 50 sheets) amzn.to/3tMLRKY
Yamation Film (larger print size) amzn.to/3EXtKZj
Yamation DTF Powder (various sizes available) amzn.to/3tLGbkh
So since this is a hack, does that mean you still can’t print white ink? And print on black/darker colored shirts?
That's correct. You cannot print white, which I talked about in the second half of the video. If you have white parts in your image and you want them to show as white, you will have to use a white shirt. And like regular sublimation, it must be used on lighter fabrics since there is no white ink backing the image like there is in true DTF ink projects. Thank you so much for watching.
Did you use a cotton shirt ??
Yes. This will work on 100% or cotton blends. It will work on poly, but you might as well just sublimate if using 100% poly. It does require a light colored shirt, though.
What type of shirt are you using ?
It was a cotton t-shirt
Hi, Marilyn I have a question, first and farmost thank you for the infor.
what type of shirt you use that said Gap. The Material type? Oh by the way I tried Hacks too but it was a bum, I Littery just taped a piece of clear tape with two film pieces and it worked no matter what the setting says of paper, it worked so far.
Thought I share it's easier than paper. LOL
Thank you
I Loved the shirt , Very nice work.
Thank you for the tip of using the tape! The shirt would have been a mostly cotton shirt. That's the beauty of this process is that you don't need high poly count shirts. Again, thanks for the tip.
So how well does this stay on after washing?
The next video I made on this process was a wash/dry test of it. Check it out if you want, but it came through 2 wash and dry cycles very very well. ua-cam.com/video/YwioZxtrXpc/v-deo.html
I have yet to print with just sublimation ink only.. waiting on my printer. I have printed on the dtf film with my inkjet ink, and it's not as vibrant, but it still comes out nice! What I did with the film, if my pic wasn't big I put painters tape on the chemical side up and feed it through the back of the Canon eco printer and as it came out I took the tape off and added the powder.
I have seen people do that, but for some reason it would not work on my finicky printer:) Thank you for the idea though because it might help others reading the comments.
What about the washings???
It washes well. Crafting with Delonda has shown washing tests on her video with the sublimation dtf hack.
Once it cures under the heat not touching..is it able to just sit after for weeks until I wanna press it onto item?
I don't know how long it can sit for sure, but I have waited a few days and there was no problem. True DTF can sit for a very long time before pressing. I don't see why this couldn't but I haven't tried it, so I do not know for sure.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Just something else for me to do 😂😂🤩💕💕💕
Absolutely RUG'l:) Thanks for watching.
Hi, what type DTF powder are you using, medium or fine?
I have used both. I typically use the medium, but I wish I had more of the fine because I thought it came out super nice!
How can you get the white to show?
With sublimation ink, the only way to have white to show in a design is to put the design on a white shirt. You would need an actual DTF printer to print white.
I have a canon inkjet. And espon workforce can i use either one of those
Are you wondering if you can use them as sublimation printers? I have seen many people use the Epson Workforce printers as sublimation printers, but I have only use the Epson EcoTank printers as sublimation printers so don't really have an opinion on other ones.
@@MakingwithMarilyn yes. I was wondering
I may need to try it😊
Check your email Allaina. Thanks for watching!!!
Great tutorial ❤ I can use the dtf film on other colored shirts like black purple blue?
If you are using DTF ink, then yes, but if you are using sublimation ink like I am, then it has to go on light colors. Thanks for watching!
What do you mean dtf ink? I have epson f170 and epson inkjet I was hoping to make prints for some black hats
Great job!!!!! You inspired me. I’m going to give this a try…..AGAIN. My first few attempts was a runny mess. I tried two different brands of film and powder. Everyone 👍🏾 this video!!!!
Thank you so much Teonda!!! I really needed such positivity today😘 Do you remember what print settings you used when it was a runny mess? Maybe too much ink?
@@MakingwithMarilyn I’m not sure. I’m going to rewatch your video and work along. I’ll use whatever settings you used.
Will you share where you found the design??
Sure. It came from Creative Fabrica. www.creativefabrica.com/product/basketball-mom-sublimation-2/ref/1340608/
Awesome tutorial! Thank you! Did you mirror your image?
Thank you! Yes, I did mirror the image. Sorry if I did not say that in the video.
What's the result after washing ❓
Very good. I have a video where I showed it. Crafting with Delonda has a video of the wash tests also.
How are the prints after a few washes?
They have been good. If you happen to watch Crafting with Delonda (used to be Cricuting with Delonda), she showed hers after a few wash tests. I think I showed it on a video after 2 washes.
What does it look like after washing
It looks great. Crafting with Delonda has at least one video showing her wash tests on the dtf hack. In the video she shows how it looks after multiple washings.
Can you please tell me which video to look for
great video thanks
I appreciate it, thank you!
Is your heat press an auto pressure? If so does the top actually press onto the film/powder?
The heat press I set the powder under to melt/cure is an autopress, but I have the automatic feature deactivated so that it does not come down onto the powder. Thanks for watching!!!
@@MakingwithMarilyn may I ask how you deactivated it? I just purchased mine and can’t find anywhere to explain how. Thanks so much
This seemed very easy. What are some of the advantages to doing this vs sublimation?
The advantage of using this is for when you are not using at least 85% polyester, which is needed for sublimation. So, if you like cotton t-shirts, this is great. Like sublimation, though, the color of the shirt/fabric needs to be very light. Thanks so much for watching!
@@MakingwithMarilyn I completely forgot about that 🤣 I started sublimation using white htv under the sub vinyl. I think I will do my first true sublimation with poly shirts this Christmas I was commissioned for a project for a family. Thank you!
@@danyelle87 when you can use a 100% poly or close to 100% poly, sublimation directly onto the shirt is awesome!!!
So you can’t use a lack shirt at all?
@@MzDee418 that’s correct.
Are the films with the prints reusable? or is it one film to a shirt?
They are not intended to be reusable. I am not sure what would happen if you tried to reuse them. Typically I have a bit of "stain" left on my film, which I would worry about it possibly cause an issue to the next design. If you happen to try it, let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching!
