Hi when you get the roller smudge...cure it and then gently pick off the little bits that are sticking out. And if you get the larger roller marks ..they will not adhere the powder as there is no ink there. Your 'Gnome' looks amazing
Funny thing about your video is that I did this a few weeks ago and then found this video. Wow! I am amazed! My only problem is the rollers and my printer size. I got to go Bigger than 8.5x11. Much success. Hit you with a follow.
Thanks for the video! I saw a TikTok where she tape a sheet of sublimation paper to the back of the DTF to allow it to go through the printer with no roller marks and she did not cure. I just ordered the supplies so I will try both methods. I love the painters tape hack, less work ♥️
@@Texaschic79915 on my Epson eco tank I go into the printer settings on my computer, then go to maintenance, extended maintenance, and select “thick paper / envelope”.
@@KateB2309 hello , I changed to that setting and just tried this… I see lines in the image. It only happens with this DTF film. If I print on ASub paper it’s ok
You mentioned removing the wheels on your dtf printer. Could I remove them from my sublimation printer? I tried the easi subli and got wheel marks also.
Wait! You remove the rollers from the printer ? I have a epson 2720 can I do that too ? I am getting them pizza wheels , not attaching a paper to the dry film. It worked like 3 times then all of a sudden pizza wheels. I tested with regular copy paper and no pizza wheels only when using dtf
thank you for showing us, did you use your regular sublimation with the adhesive,you also did a good job for being the first you did it👍it showed up really nice on that t shirt,thanks again for sharing with us .
Thank you for a professional and informative tutorial! I subliminate and was interested in the DTF hack, but it doesn't look like it can be done on black t-shirts, right? I see the benefit is using light colored cotton shirts with sublimination, where before you would not be able to sub on them... if I get this correct.
Ohhh I'm so excited about this! I am wondering...does the white adhesive powder show up or act as white ink if you press a design with white parts.. like onto a colored shirt? I've never played with DTF powder (but you can bet I just ordered it off Amazon!) Love your content!
Awesome video. On the Big Boi website they have black adhesive and white. Does it matter which one to use? I have a sub printer. Can the white powder print on a dark shirt?
👀👀👀 looks like I’m going to have to try this out. Thank you for sharing❣️ I love when you have lab days! They open the flood gates of creativity! great Day!
Thank you for this video! A couple questions - 1. I saw it had only been washed once and looked great. Any chance it’s been washed more times and can get an update on how it held up? 2. You mentioned the film can be costly - can you use sublimation paper and the powder and get the same results?
HI Patrice. This is an excellent opportunity for us folks that wanted to get into DTF but couldn't get the printer! Question, any suggestions to get the PET film to be recognized consistently. I only got mine to work one time, and the rest of the time it is registering as a paper jam. :(
I use the et 1500. I can not get the 11x17 film A3 to print the same size I have on the design. Everything is set for A3. Keeps cutting off the edges of the picture. I can print with A4 and have the same size print without cutting off the left and right edge. I see you use the Super B. 13x19. Does the A3 11x17 not work. I have learned to get this down, but my a3 prints are not there. Tried every setting. Won't print full size. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your videos! They are very informative. I am completely new to the sublimation process, so this might be a newbie question but what software do you have your graphic design pulled up in to print from? Again, thank you! 🙏❤️
Hi Tracy! Welcome!!! I use Adobe Illustrator. However, if you are simply printing pre-designed images, you can do that in softwares like MS Word. Other programs that you can use are Silhouette Studio, Inscape and/or Canva.
@@CraftableThings awesome thank you! I create my own graphics in procreate but I wasn't sure if I could just print my graphic directly from procreate or if I would have to transfer it to a software like adobe illustrator or inkscape first and then print? Any suggestions on that? Again, thank you so much for your help!!!!! 🙏❤️
I need some help I got a speck or cracked kind of look. I don't know what I am doing wrong or different. I have cured until vibrant with 385 on the heat press then press. I have cured at 350. All still the same outcome. I feel like the cracked look is from the powder curring only particles of the print. I see you have it too and not on the parttbthatwas dropped.
@@shatanyas OK but you must understand that this method is only for the white garment for the simple reasoning that a sublimation printer cannot print white.
I've just purchased everything to do these and they are coming out GREAT, EXCEPT......the roller marks are SO BAD! :( I guess it's where the film is so slick? I've tried multiple different settings in the printer even including print density setting. :( Any suggestions?
Well I’m trying this dtf / sublimation and it’s not working for me. Looking for videos to help me troubleshoot. I changed the temp from 400 to 300 and time from 60 sec to 20 sec , then 320 for 50 seconds and it still doesn’t work for me
I've only washed it twice and it looks great. Search for videos on the wash. Making with Marilyn, Cricuting with Delonda and Angel B. Designs all have videos that show washing these types of shirts.
Ok I ordered my supplies, you keep making me do these things! Ordered Ss6, black diamond, now, DtF sublimation. Love you lady
I did it cause Eve didn't go live tonight! Love the process-it worked great. I'm so excited to try it on more substrates.

Do you think I can use the DTF method with my sawgrass sublimation printer?
You can change the printer settings to “thick paper/envelope” to help with the roller marks. :)
How
Cool I'll try that

Is it sublimation ink or regular ink jet ink?
cool shirt, have you washed it a few times yet? How is it holding up?

No it doesn't act like white ink. It will skip over, so whatever the shirt is it will be that color. I use it with sg500 which has no white ink.
Awesome video. On the Big Boi website they have black adhesive and white. Does it matter which one to use? I have a sub printer. Can the white powder print on a dark shirt?
Nice Job, question... did you wash it? what happens after wash it?
Only once and it stayed the same.
Can you suggest me the best T-shirt printer I'm on budget
How does it hold up after a few washes?
Hi Patrice! Thank you for showing us this process! I was thinking about this, but never did it! Now wondering how it looks with multiple washes?
I’m going to try with an inkjet printer! Why stop at sublimation. I’m thinking the inkjet ink will not be wet enough to powder and cure..
It’s only been washed once and it still looks great. Please let me know how your test works!!!
@@tralosum9854 Have you tried it with inkjet?..
Have you thought of using laminate sheets or plastic paper holders to print on? They might melt, but i haven't tried it.

that is what i was thinking could you put the adhesive powder on the sublimation print itself and press it?
@@dianepotter2266 Hello, it would seem to me that the sublimation paper would dry to quick to apply powder. Mine does.
Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to find exactly these instructions. Great job!
Thanks for the video. How do you like the heat press so far?
Hi thanks for sharing, what program did you use to print that large? I have a WF 7610 that will print that large.
Is it possible to convert a eco tank printer into a dtf printer,instead of using sublimation ink,just use dtf inks instead?
ua-cam.com/video/-OoKNn-TKgA/v-deo.html its her video about converting her epson into a dtf printer. Hope it helps.

saw another video where you tape a sheet of paper under to make it go through
@@Julie-jy3jp I'll give it a try. I was trying it with A-Sub paper, but maybe copy paper will be better.
Game changer
Yes, I see just tape copy paper to it….
Consider using two way tape between the papers.
Have you thought about painting the back with with dtf white ink for dark colors
It will smear the original print
I am so impressed every video that I have looked at is only doing on a white cotton shirt, what about dark colors
I use the et 1500. I can not get the 11x17 film A3 to print the same size I have on the design. Everything is set for A3. Keeps cutting off the edges of the picture.
I can print with A4 and have the same size print without cutting off the left and right edge.
I see you use the Super B. 13x19. Does the A3 11x17 not work.
I have learned to get this down, but my a3 prints are not there. Tried every setting. Won't print full size. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Is the ink side on the shirt or facing up when you go to press it?
You did your THANG! ....Very creative thinking.. Craftable Things!!!❤️👍🏿💯💨
Thanx 4 the tutorial Patrice i just did my 1st one and it turned out pretty good 😘
I’ve wondered how well this works! Sorry if I missed it but will this only work on white/light?
Do you press adhesive side up or flip it like with sublimation

Do you like the HTVRONT.
I didn’t notice when u removed the film after heat press, is it better to remove when hot or better after it cools down?
Hey Juana! Let is cool down before peeling.
I'm impressed as well. I definitely need to try this out. Thanks for sharing
Hi, so do I have to remove my roller in order to do this process?
Hi, do you know what's the DTF black powder for? And will the white powder works on dark color? Thanks
I was wondering the same thing!!
I found that the black powder is basically a gimmick. No reason for black vs white that I've found
I need some help I got a speck or cracked kind of look. I don't know what I am doing wrong or different. I have cured until vibrant with 385 on the heat press then press. I have cured at 350.

I’m so glad you shared this , I can now do it lol I have these items in my Amazon cart
Did this image hold up? Did it fade?
Hi, can you edit this design? Great video. Thanks
Can we do this on dark shirts
Very nice video thank you for sharing you explained very well Good job
thank you!
Have you tried maybe eco solvent with dtf ..?
I need to try this!!! Thanks so much for doing the video!!!
yes!!! try it!!!
Thanks for this tutorial. How long did u leave it under the press for curing ?
for about 2 minutes
What is the texture like?
What is purpose of printing with sublimation ink first and then DTF powder? Does it feel different than straight DTF on cotton? Thanks.
You don't have the expenses of dtf. The software and having to buy a dtf printer.
@@shatanyas OK but you must understand that this method is only for the white garment for the simple reasoning that a sublimation printer cannot print white.
Can you put on dark fabric with this method
Thank you so much! You answered every question as I had one!
Hi, any changes in colour after 4 wash?
I've just purchased everything to do these and they are coming out GREAT, EXCEPT......the roller marks are SO BAD! :( I guess it's where the film is so slick? I've tried multiple different settings in the printer even including print density setting. :( Any suggestions?
take the pizza rollers out same as DTF....leave the 2 closest to the print head and the 2 at the far away end so it feeds the film
what printer are you using?
Thanks for sharing,I think I will like this better then eco solvent,if it pass the wash test.💜
thanks for watching!!!
How did this last after washing?
Question. I bought some transfers of ETSY and they are very light and ghosted. What did I do wrong?
I am interested in knowing how many washes will this shirt hold up?
Was that on cotton?
How dies it hold up to washing? Thank you!!
I’ve washed it about 3 times and it’s still good.
Really want to try this but the products aren't cheap here for it. Wish me luck
Could you press this on top of white htv if you did a darker colored shirt?
Will it work with my Sawgrass printer?
Love it!
What about washes? Have you washed it any and if so how much and what does it look like now? TIA
I've washed it about 4 times. It's still the same so far.
Can you use this process on colored shirts
Well I’m trying this dtf / sublimation and it’s not working for me. Looking for videos to help me troubleshoot. I changed the temp from 400 to 300 and time from 60 sec to 20 sec , then 320 for 50 seconds and it still doesn’t work for me
How did it wash did it fade?
It has not faded.
Why is my film jamming after its already fed and ready to start applying ink ?? It's so dumb. I tried for an hour and it wouldn't print.
Thank you so much for this information
Can you get white dtf prints doing this on a black t shirt?
I CANNOT get my Epson F570 to print on the DTF film. 😢. Any ideas.
what screen are you using? i never seen that one. lol
Do u have to use dtf ink
Sublimation ink
What about fumes when you use the heat press to cure?
Did you ever figure out the roller marks?
I cannot find the link for the film or the powder can someone please let me know where it’s at?
On Amazon dtf adhesive powder and dtf film
Can't wait to Try 💞💞thank u🌹
Awesome Job
Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
thank you for the tutorial..
Can you use it on a dark shirt?
Does this work with dark tshirts? Can you sublimate on dark colors with this method?
No
Great do you know how many washes it last?
Not sure. So far, I've done at 3 washes and it's ok.
How do you like the HTVFont press?
Hi i have a ex15000 what ink do u recomend it calls for red ,
also what film is this
What type of printing are you looking to do? I use my own sublimation ink.
DTF film and powder.
Love this method. I didnt have any roller marks though
Great tutorial Patrice. Thanks for sharing!!
Great idea Patrice. Thanks for sharing💞
where are you going go buy the dtf tpu powder ?
there is a link in the description to DTF supplies.
Cool Thanks for all the info
Thanks for watching
So you can use a sublimation printer for DTF
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. All my prints end up to dark
How did it hold up in the wash?
I've only washed it twice and it looks great. Search for videos on the wash. Making with Marilyn, Cricuting with Delonda and Angel B. Designs all have videos that show washing these types of shirts.
This looks Amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Hey I have an epson 2850 can I convert it to dtf or just us the method you are using with the sublimation ink
I wouldn't convert it.
Thank very much new to the game
I've have noticed the shirts are in black and white but I would love to see a DTF on a different color shirt like red,yellow or even blue.
I have a live not too long ago pressing a red shirt using TRUE DTF. The hack only works on certain colors.
