    Found these guys while i was contemplating about how to go about starting my brand! & Can’t be more grateful for them, I’ve been able to take every step down order the dtf from them. Only advice to anybody or to street crafter is there shipping is not quick for the dtf sheets . So with this save your money & buy most of the machines as you can including a dtf printer which is prolly the most expensive. But i would also recommend going watch all there videos it really helped me a lot if you don’t have a lot of money they give you the steps to not have any excuses! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

    DTF can easily become a college major. You have to be extremely technical to maintain your printer and understand materials science to print clean prints.
    That’s not including the graphic designs. Crazy!

    hi there! i've ordered 10meters dtf from a printer.. i've noticed some have the slight slippery back (adhesive part) and some are not slippery.. i've seen a video that says it should be a little slippery.. may i know if the ones that are not slippery will also be durable and would last a long time? the printer i got the prints from didn't answer me.. i still would like to order from them coz they have the best quality compared to 6 others i've ordered from in the past.. thank you so much!

    i'm late to the party but i had a couple of general questions as someone who is trying to start a clothing brand:
    question one: do you scale your design as you scale in size shirt? I am looking to do a print via DTF that is relatively 11.25" x 14" but I wanted to know if I keep the same size print for shirt sizes S - 2XL.
    question two: how detailed can DTF designs be? is it equivalent to the amount of detail DTG is capable of?
    question three: would you recommend utilizing a t-shirt ruler or would it be better to estimate placement utilizing sleeve and seam placements?

    I just realized a dumb dumb move. Lol. I'm getting backgrounds/borders from the transfer paper I'm printing designs on. Then I have to cut to desired size and this results in more sloppy results. What am I missing? Is there transfer paper that works with injkets that doesn't require cutting so I can design transparent designs and print with no backgrounds/borders from the paper itself? Thanks! =).

      i think you would need to convert your inkjet printer to dtf so that you can print with dtf transfer paper and by this you can print transparent designs without cutting. let me know if this helps
