Where have you been all my life?! What a wonderful presence you have on camera. Really have appreciated your videos as I research whether DTF is the route I want to go. Especially appreciated your honest assessment of the maintenance requirements of a DTF printer. No one seems to talk about that kind of stuff. Thank you! You are a really great teacher.
Hey Andrea, Thank you so much for checking out my video and for the kind words. It definitely made me smile. I am so glad you found my video helpful. 😃
Well great, now I REALLY need one of these. Stumbled upon you last night when my obsession with direct to film began (I refuse to call it DTF 😂). I just wanted to take a minute to say that you are an absolute natural in these videos! Very impressed...I subbed right away and can't wait to see more. Keep it up!!
Hey, First, thank you for taking time to watch my video and subscribing and becoming a member of the Pink Fam.💕 Secondly, I completely understand your refusal to call it “DTF” 🤣. Thirdly, thank you for all of your kind words and for finding value in my content. 💕Claudia
I just found your channel and you are a smart cookie.. I knew most of this already but you broke it down so well and you should have more subscribers. I have tried both DTF and White toner for colors and I prefer DTF. The toner prices and AB sheets are just too pricey. The best prints are sublimation but the substrates are limited. Then you can go the DTF Sublimation route which is fine for cotton light colors but darks are limited unless you want to add white and clear vinyl overlays to all your garments. Nothing beats the hand feel of regular sublimation. If they ever formulate the sub inks to print white underlays then DTF White toner and any other process will be in trouble. Great video
I was torn between white toner and DTF , but made the decision to go with the DTF setup and couldn’t be happier with my decision. Although minor maintenance is required, I comparison of printer /supply costs as well as functionality, print time ,quality , and ease of applying the print to the item , it’s in my opinion, that DTF is the superior choice . If you are familiar with the time consuming and tedious process of screen printing, or weeding threw HTV, these DTF prints are a heaven sent. The print quality is also second to none and durable as you can get.
If you don’t mind me asking. What Dtf printer did you start with? I am currently using a cricut and having to layer my vinyl. I am a very small business with a low budget, but I have outgrown one and two color designs. I am looking to get into full color prints. I am torn between a Dtf printer or a vinyl printer.
Agreed! Dtf is the way to go. Cuts the dtg process in half apmost and the maintenance is a lot light than dtg. Best decision i made as far as equipment and printing in house is concerned.
Im thinking of switching to dtf from white toner but to tell you honestly. I'd rather have white toner than dtf. dtf is too slow. its like 17-20 mins per shirt. just know the right temp of your heat press to your white toner and youll be good. dtf print quality might be better than white toner but all and all i think white toner is better. (2 years white toner user BTW.)
I purchased an OKI 8432 white toner printer 7 months ago. I love it..... The transfers are too expensive for me to stay competitive in the bulk order arena. All your info is amazing!!! I will be making a decision on a DTF printer soon. I hope you get credit from McClaud!! I have a Sawgrass sublimation printer and a 10 needle Babylock embroidery machine. What started out as a hobby with a Circuit maker has turned into a brick and mortar storefront. I want to expand my business and I believe DTF is the way to go,
Yeesss!!! After purchasing a $500 sublimation printer I definitely regretted it. It's super hard to to have to find that poly count shirt. Now I just use it for tumblers. I can't wait for my DTF printer to get in, I'm so ready to dive head first into the DTF world
Okay. Love your videos first off!!! So I currently am using vinyl with my cricut. I want to get into full prints. I do not want to do sublimation bc I use cotton shirts. I only sell 10-20 shirts a week if that at the moment. My budget is not huge for equipment, however I know for sure I do not want to outsource. Can you suggest if I should dtf, eco solvent, or if you have something else in mind?
Thank you so much for this info! I definitely going to look into investing into DTF. I currently have a sublimation printer and a converted eco solvent printer but I am just tired of the weeding so yessss!! DTF here I come!
Hey Tiffany, I am so glad to hear that you enjoy the videos, and that you find value in the info I share as I’m learning my new printer. I appreciate you!💕 Claudia
@@moea3735 I found it extremely helpful and I was on the fence about dtf and wanted to hear unbiased opinions about the good bad and ugly. If you don’t like her content you are free not to watch.
Hi , you can use sublimation printer or normal inkjet printer to use as DTF , use pet film and hot melt white powder , you can do this on cotton t shirts or any other fabric , the only difference is there is no white ink in the above mentioned printers , white fabric works best , at least you can now print on other fabrics instead of only polyester fabrics, cheers hope this helps , ps my DTF printer wont print anymore after only a few garments , nobody will touch it as it's a converted printer , to ship it off from where I purchased my printer it will cost $ 900 , plus the manager at the shop said our warranty is voided so parts and labor on top of shipping means we have been fleeced , it wont print because it thinks the inks are empty , so it's ignoring what the computer is asking it to do , red light is on saying no ink , love your video cheers from Australia .
Hey Claudia... First, let me just say, I absolutely love all of ur content!!! You are amazing. So genuinely kind and supportive. That's real #BlackGirlMagic!!! I was wondering if ur video on when you first received ur DTF printer, the one with the white glove service... lol where they helped with set up is still available? Lastly is this the same printer you talked about in ur last video, the 7880? I read thru some of the comments and I, thought I saw another printer mentioned. I apologize in advance for all the questions... lol Thanks 😊
Hey Tangy, Thank you so much for your kind words. I am happy to hear you are getting value from my videos. Both the p800 and 7880, can be a challenge to find. However, I won’t say that’s it’s impossible to find. For instance, Mclaud has p800’s and 7880’s in stock intermittently. I hope that helps. 💕Claudia💕
Ive seen owners of the Epson P800 state that when the power goes out or if they turn off their printer that all their inks are purged the next time they turn it on or power is restored. Meaning they lose about $1-$2 worth of ink every time this happens. Has that been your experience as well? Do you keep your printer plugged into a Lithium Ion battery pack like the Bluetti, Jackery, Goal Zero or other "solar generators" that offer 1,500 to 5,000+ watt hours of power? What are your thoughts on toner reactive self weeding heat transfer vinyl? Not only can you print in full color to it but it also allows the toner to define its shape when you apply it with a heat press. Conde sells it.
awesomesauce! thank you for this video, it has absolutely added value. i outsource my prints and was looking to buy my very own dtf printer, but after hearing it requires daily prints and services… its not something i can get into at the moment. thank you!! good luck with your business
I haven't printed in 2 weeks and I just fid a cleaning and sucked some of the ink out of each cartridges. Shake and keep it moving. It really wasn't anything serious. I also had my printer in the storage for 3 weeks I used the cleaning solution and wet capped it without the cartridges. Sucked ink out and did 2 cleaning and printed on plain white paper until acceptable
Hey Renea, Awesome! I’m glad to hear that worked out for you. Thanks for checking out my video and for sharing your experiences with your printer. Claudia
You have been very informative. I have been trying to grow and I love how the colors out with a DTF. As of right now I don't have a lot of multi colors orders.
Awesome video. You answered all my questions I had. I was looking into DTF and white toner, I’m currently using white toner. Only reason I went with white toner, It was the maintenance part for me. But I’m thinking to go with DTF now. I don’t like the feel of white toner. And the toner an transfer are expensive. I just subscribed to your channel and following you on tic Tok. I’m really thinking to get a DTF.
Good video. The calculation is an average and you did good breaking down. DTF is cheaper than supacolor and will continue like that, is even cheaper when a professional dual head printer is used to print the transfers. People need to realize that DTF is not supacolor. Supacolor uses a combination of digital print + plastisol white under base, and DTF is all inks including the white under base. This is why DTF is more durable and stretchy when it cures with the powder.
Hey Kingdom DTF, Thank you so much for watching my video. I’m glad that you saw the value In my response to the questions I received. I was trying to just give rough calculations the best I could. I have an update that will be dropping soon and I’m hoping that will give an even greater breakdown. Thank you for adding so much to the DTF community.😊 💕Claudia💕
I think I want to start with the P800 but do we have to convert it? Is it easy to do? Is there a newer model you don’t have to convert? I’m so confused and overwhelmed where to start 😢
Great video!!! Thank you so much for the info…. I think I will stick to sublimation for the time being using Siser easy subli until I’m able to make prints daily to run the DTF printer… love your videos
I’m looking into buying a dtf machine,what is the best machine that is already converted into dtf because I’m not sure about the whole converting thing . Would buying one already converted be easier? Thank you!
Thank you SO much! This was so helpful! I had no idea about the daily maintenance and printing requirements. Do you know how long a print lasts once it’s printed and before it’s pressed onto a shirt? I’m wondering if I can just print before they’re needed and then store them 🤔
Hey there, I knew your name sound familiar. I love your embroidery videos. I watched your videos when I first started embroidering on my PE8000 ..... wayyyyy before I ever thought about making a UA-cam for my business.

Thank you for your personal input of the DTF. You did an exceptional job of explaining the facts about it. I now know that it is not for me. I didn't get involved in sublimation due to the maintenance, limited color of garments you can use, and the having to use polyester. The maintenance is the reason I won't purchase a DTF at this time. Keep up the good work!!! You're awesome!

I can’t help but notice that pull down back drop behind you, hopefully that is what it is. That’s what it looks like to me and I would love to know where to purchase that?! I am building a she shed office and will definitely need this in there!!
Hey Crimson Creations, Thank you for checking out my channel. Yes, it is a backdrop behind me. A she shed that sounds AMAZING. Here's my amazon link to the one I purchased: amzn.to/3tJQEf9. Hope that helps. 💕Claudia
i was about to buy the icolor560 white toner.... because it can sit doing nothing.... but my shop need to print 500-600 hoodie per years... but if i buy a DTF it WILL sit idle for week.... and then i will print 150 item then week idle.. is DTF still a good alternative.. because the white tone is super expensive each time you print one page
Hey, Thanks for taking time to watch my video. The short answer is the company was running a sale and I wanted to have the capability to print larger images or run 2 larger images side by side. 😊 Yes, the technician did come back out to deliver and set up the printer. Claudia
Hi, Dont know where to start my question after reading and watching videos about printing business and complications about printers.. i am new and have no experience in printing but i want to start a small printing setup and confused between white toner and dtf. Can i get any help or guide line what should i buy and which steps i should take to start please? i know for some readers it can be funny but all your comments are suggestions will be my guidelines and courage to take a step. Thank you
what are the demotions of ur def printer i am interested in on but want to know what it prints like 13x19 or bigger smaller? also what is the biggest you printed
Might I ask where did you purchase your printer from? I've been looking for it and I can't find it anywhere. I'm looking through so many website that offer bundles with printers. Is there anything I should avoid or look out for?
Hey Deborah, I shared all of that info in the first video of the series. Im going to attach it below. Also not I discuss why I chose the company I decided to purchase from. Video#1 ua-cam.com/video/aTD7jRdf6gY/v-deo.html
also I am very new at this but I am looking to really get this printer. Do you think that is a good idea? Most of the t's I do is full colour. I do lots of sub as well.
has this printer been converted from its factory version to be used for dtf? are you using the epson inks that come with the computer or a different type of ink?
I have that same toaster over. I LOVE IT!! oan, currently dealing with dtg printer issues. I want to make the move over to DTF. DO NOT BUY A RICOH Ri1000 if you are just getting off the ground. I can't speak for that other machines but Mine is less than a year old and is already down. and repairs are $1100 smh.
Hello Michele, Thank you for taking time out to watch my videos. Unfortunately, I am a PC user so I am unable to answer that question that. I’m not even sure if the software is mac compatible. You may have to reach out to one of the companies that provides DTF printers, or the software providers for DTF. My apologies I wasn’t able to help more. 💕Claudia💕
Hey Julio, Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. There are several options available to you. The company I used does not offer financing. However, there are several options which depend on whether you want to convert a printer yourself or have someone else do it. 1. There are some companies that offer financing. Kingdom DTF is one that immediately comes to mind. If you decide to go the convert yourself route as suggested by Rashaun Stewart: 2.)There are several people here on UA-cam can help you with that process and have videos in the topic. Check out the following channels for more on this👉🏾Ya Digg!? Designs 👉🏾Big Boi Prints. Hope that helps you Julio😃 Any other questions please feel free to reach out. Claudia

Hey EJ, I set my oven between 200-250 for about 1.5-3.0 mins depending on the type of adhesive powder I'm applying to the transfer. Hope that helps. If not, please feel free to message me. Sincerely, Claudia

@pink’steesandthings What about your safety when heating up the powder? It is not supposed to be inhaled due to being dangerous when heated. I know companies make a heater with tubing to direct the exhaust into an air purifier. I am only mentioning this, because I am worried about yours and your viewers safety!
@@moea3735 how would she know that exactly ? If she told you yes and you still had clogging issues after printing 10 prints per day then you’d say she was lying or don’t know what she’s talking about . How does she know what climate you live in , what type of climate you have in your house , where or how you’re using the printer …how exactly can she give you an answer for how to use YOUR printer
Hey Steven, Thanks for taking the time to watch my video. I shared all of the details of where I purchased the machine in the very first video I posted on DTF. 💕Claudia💕
screen printing is the original way, but it is more expensive and requires skill. Color separations, the more colors the more screens.@@florencewhits7251
To be honest i dont like DTF its crap to me and dont last long, It has a paper feel. The process is whack, too much time it takes to do one print. If your a busy store you dont have time to edit the image to the format for printing, then you have to print the film, pour powder on it shake it off, dry it with a over or under your heat press, then press the shirt 2 times. Its a headache. I do sublimation, ink jet and laser jet transfer, Sublimation last longer in fabrics

Im thinking of switching to dtf from white toner but to tell you honestly. I'd rather have white toner than dtf. dtf is too slow. its like 17-20 mins per shirt. just know the right temp of your heat press to your white toner and youll be good. dtf print quality might be better than white toner but all and all i think white toner is better. (2 years white toner user BTW.)
How long will a print last one she printed out and run it through the curing powder? Much to use it right away? How can you store them?
are you using anything for the fumes?
thank you for your time
Great video! I’m curious about when you mentioned the screen print transfers, where can I get them? Or what kind of printer prints those?
Hey Veronica,
I'm unsure of what kind of printer, prints those. However, I'm sure a quick google search would help you discover some possibilities.
Hope that helps.

I can’t help but notice that pull down back drop behind you, hopefully that is what it is. That’s what it looks like to me and I would love to know where to purchase that?! I am building a she shed office and will definitely need this in there!!
Hey Crimson Creations,
Thank you for checking out my channel. Yes, it is a backdrop behind me. A she shed that sounds AMAZING. Here's my amazon link to the one I purchased: amzn.to/3tJQEf9. Hope that helps.

I'm looking into making a printer into an ecosolvent printer. Is this something that you have tried before making these big purchases?
That video was so enjoyable to watch I just had to subscribe.
Oh thank you so much 💕💕💕
i was about to buy the icolor560 white toner.... because it can sit doing nothing.... but my shop need to print 500-600 hoodie per years... but if i buy a DTF it WILL sit idle for week.... and then i will print 150 item then week idle.. is DTF still a good alternative.. because the white tone is super expensive each time you print one page
Hello,
Turn on your post notifications, I will be going LIVE again really soon and answering this question. It’s a question I get frequently. 💕💕💕
Do you mind sharing where you purchased your DTF printer
Why did you end up switching from the p800 to the bigger one? And did they come back and set that up?
Hey,
Thanks for taking time to watch my video.
The short answer is the company was running a sale and I wanted to have the capability to print larger images or run 2 larger images side by side. 😊
Yes, the technician did come back out to deliver and set up the printer.
Claudia

💕Claudia
Where did you get you get your DTF printer from
Such a helpful video! Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much Amy💕💕💕
Might I ask where did you purchase your printer from? I've been looking for it and I can't find it anywhere. I'm looking through so many website that offer bundles with printers. Is there anything I should avoid or look out for?
Hey Deborah, I shared all of that info in the first video of the series. Im going to attach it below. Also not I discuss why I chose the company I decided to purchase from.

also I am very new at this but I am looking to really get this printer. Do you think that is a good idea? Most of the t's I do is full colour. I do lots of sub as well.
Hey Michele,
The best piece of advice I can give you if you are interested in DTF is to make sure you have the business to keep your printer running.
has this printer been converted from its factory version to be used for dtf? are you using the epson inks that come with the computer or a different type of ink?
Hey there,
I will be answering your question in one of my next videos. Stay tuned.💕💕💕
I have that same toaster over. I LOVE IT!!
oan, currently dealing with dtg printer issues. I want to make the move over to DTF. DO NOT BUY A RICOH Ri1000 if you are just getting off the ground. I can't speak for that other machines but Mine is less than a year old and is already down. and repairs are $1100 smh.
RICOH are the worst to for DTG. Epson F2100 is the best so far DTG
@@marsgraphix5340 ricoh is trash for dtg. They should stick to the embroidery.
Trying to see who you purchased your machine with?
What is the biggest size image you can print
What Epson printer do you have is it this one SureColor P7570 24" Wide-Format Inkjet Printer
Hey Edwin,
Thank you for taking time to watch my video.
No, it was a Epson Surecolor P800 (17inch).

I have a laptop that is mac but my main comp is PC. Can I just create on the PC and some how send to the mac as a png?
Hello Michele,
Thank you for taking time out to watch my videos.
Unfortunately, I am a PC user so I am unable to answer that question that. I’m not even sure if the software is mac compatible.
You may have to reach out to one of the companies that provides DTF printers, or the software providers for DTF.
My apologies I wasn’t able to help more.
💕Claudia💕
Nice video sis you answered all my questions, thank you so much.
Oh I am so glad.💕 Yayyyy! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions.
@@PinksTeesandThings I will sis, you are the best 👌🥰😍
You are so welcome.
Which printer did you get and how much was the upgraded dtf printer. ?
Hey Anna,
You may have to check out my recent LIVES, where I’ve shared a lot of that info.
Where you bought the dtf printer from.. do they offer any type of financing? I am committed to get a good system just can't pay all out at once
convert yourself is waay cheaper besides buying rip software!!! xp 15000 is 350$
Hey Julio,
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. There are several options available to you. The company I used does not offer financing. However, there are several options which depend on whether you want to convert a printer yourself or have someone else do it.
1. There are some companies that offer financing. Kingdom DTF is one that immediately comes to mind.
If you decide to go the convert yourself route as suggested by Rashaun Stewart:
2.)There are several people here on UA-cam can help you with that process and have videos in the topic. Check out the following channels for more on this👉🏾Ya Digg!? Designs 👉🏾Big Boi Prints.
Hope that helps you Julio😃
Any other questions please feel free to reach out.
Claudia
Hey Rashaun,
Do you have any videos that Julio can check out on converting a printer?
Thanks for the awesome suggestions.
Claudia
@@PinksTeesandThings thank you so much for the feedback, i am leaning towards kingdom just waiting on one of their products to go back in stock..i cant wait to start 😊 keep up with the awesome content
@@reezybelefonte9191 thank you very much for the suggestion..this will be my route if getting one of the printers from kingdom falls through..i really appreciate the help 🙏😊
Oven is 12 inches wide. Most pizzas are about 10 to 12 inches long
How can I print full width of the film on my 7880 or 7900, thank you
Hey Anthony,
I’m not sure if you’ve found the solution. However, join me on LIVE and I will help you troubleshoot the issue.
Hello what temperature and time to use this convention oven??? Thanks 😊
Hey EJ,
I set my oven between 200-250 for about 1.5-3.0 mins depending on the type of adhesive powder I'm applying to the transfer.
Hope that helps. If not, please feel free to message me.
Sincerely,
Claudia
How do I order custom prints from you? Great info love your personality.
Thank you so much for checking out my video. I would love to be able to help you with your transfer needs. Please feel free to email me (listed in the description).
Great video thanks
@pink’steesandthings What about your safety when heating up the powder? It is not supposed to be inhaled due to being dangerous when heated. I know companies make a heater with tubing to direct the exhaust into an air purifier. I am only mentioning this, because I am worried about yours and your viewers safety!
What model is the 24inches DTF printer?
Hey there,
It's a 24 inch Epson Stylus Pro 7880.
Claudia
Great Info‼️😎
Thank you so much. I appreciate you for taking time to even watch my videos.💕
How much for the printer?
do I need a Business license just to own a small printing company and just making around 500 a month or lees?
Hi Noel,
I would recommend researching your state's requirements. 💕💕💕
dont put the press machine and oven too close with printer, it can cause heat to printhead,
Can you show how u clean your machine please ?
I talked all about the cleaning process throughout the DTF series I have posted on my channel.
I can definitely post an update on that.
💕Claudia💕
How much prints would you say i should print everyday Is 1-5 good or i need to print more?
Hey Moe,
You now I don’t have an exact number, however, I can tell you the more you print the better.
Hope that helps. 😊
Claudia
@@PinksTeesandThings Would I be safe if I print 10 a day?
@@moea3735 how would she know that exactly ? If she told you yes and you still had clogging issues after printing 10 prints per day then you’d say she was lying or don’t know what she’s talking about . How does she know what climate you live in , what type of climate you have in your house , where or how you’re using the printer …how exactly can she give you an answer for how to use YOUR printer
Thanks for sharing this ❤️❤️💯👍🏾
Absolutely 💕💕💕

💕Claudia💕
What dtf printer do you have?
Great video. What printer do you use now?
Hey Mark,
Thank you for the kind words. I switched to a large format Epson that can print up to 24inches.
@@PinksTeesandThings nice. I was thinking about getting the big 24 inch printer from Mclaud.
Thank You God Bless
It was my pleasure. I’m so glad I was able to provide you with some value😃
What is the name and model of the printer?
The printer I had in this video was a p800💕💕💕
I love your videos girl. This is jasmin from jasminjustinecreations. Your doing amazing 👏
Hey Jasmin,
Thank you for taking time out to watch my videos, and for always being so kind. I truly appreciate it.
You rock💕💕💕
Claudia
Do they offer warranty?
It depends on the company you buy from. The company I purchased from offers a 1 year warranty. Hope that helps.
Claudia
Thank you
You're welcome💕
Make sure you have the customers before getting DTF to justify the DTF cost.
What other alternative printing is available apart from DTF?
screen printing is the original way, but it is more expensive and requires skill. Color separations, the more colors the more screens.@@florencewhits7251
is the film reusable?
Hello,
Unfortunately, the film it is not reusable.
Hope that helps.
💕Claudia💕
What printer do you have for dtf
❤️
Thank you so much sis💕
Same with dtg, you have to run it everyday or you will be wasting money. Thanks again
Thank you for sharing also. 💕💕💕
What printer do you have
Hey there Isamar Alonso-Ruiz,
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos.
I have a converted Epson 7880. I hope that helps.
💕Claudia💕
What DTF printer have you work with?
To be honest i dont like DTF its crap to me and dont last long, It has a paper feel. The process is whack, too much time it takes to do one print. If your a busy store you dont have time to edit the image to the format for printing, then you have to print the film, pour powder on it shake it off, dry it with a over or under your heat press, then press the shirt 2 times. Its a headache. I do sublimation, ink jet and laser jet transfer, Sublimation last longer in fabrics
Hello,
Thank you for taking time out to watch my video. I am glad to hear you have found the print method that works best for you. Wishing you much success in your endeavors.😊
MAYBE you brought a cheap chinese JUNKER ?
Who knows maybe I did🤣🤣🤣
