Very informative video, I just got my sample packs from Ninja Transfer, Transfer Superstars, SupaColor Transfers, & Tranfer Express to see what Feels, Looks, & Washes Good, plus Stretch Test. Sorry I'm Rambling, anyway thanks for the video. First time for me using DTF as well, I'm sure there's going to be learning curves from using these.
Sorry for the late reply. UA-cam has been falling off with the notifications plus I've been testing these transfer & it's been working out for the moment. Especially on different materials. I had a test T-shirt with the DTF Transfers I mentioned above all on one t-shirt. The best one so far is SupaColor Transfer. In my opinion. I also like Ninja Tranfer, I had an issue with 2 small letters but so far it's been holding up strong. The rest are ok as well. From my experience it's all on the pressure. Some Tranfers are medium pressure while others are firm pressure which is annoying when u have to adjust the knob on the heat press. Plus different timing. I hope your experience has been going well. I'm still messing with the HTV but still experimenting with DTF. Good thing I've been messing with the samples they supplied me with. Im thinking of working with ninja transfer for the moment. Depending on pricing.
When you see that roughness, especially what appears to look like bubbling, and especially when you see bubbling after you wash test the shirt, it means more pressure is needed so the design gets into the actually material of the shirt. For example, you will see what appears to be "lines" running through the design. This means there was enough pressure and now the design is pressed right into the material of the shirt. Also, when you see little pealing of letters or around the edge of the design, this is also a pressure problem. Finally, the correct temperature is important. All the pressure in the world won't matter if the heat press is not hot enough. I'm going to actually purchase a gun to make sure the temperature I see is what is actually the temperature on the press.
@@lucykiins Hi, Lucy. It looks like I may start my company, (start out with my logo on a t shirt) and I just discovered DTF and now, Screen Printed Transfers. It's like Silk Screen Printing with an actual screen but the plastisol ink is on the film that we print on a shirt with a heat press and I am rather excited about both, especially, screen printed transfers. And for the heck of it, I just magnified my logo, (its all letters) by about 150% and saw a grayish border around the letters. Sure enough, this is because I had "smooth" set on my Adobe which supposedly, will print on a shirt. A video informed me to set it to "sharp." With that said, I will call the company that makes the films and make sure this is correct. (I didn't see colored edges with "sharp" setting). Anyway, lucy, your video, I thought, was adorable and honest. And... It was very helpful for me because I did more research on the problems you showed us so I could educate myself more. Let's all become, at least, thousdandaires. I'm broke now, Lucy, but was a thousandaire a while back and trust me, you can live really, really amazing and it's fun to say the least. We can all do it.
Órale loved your tutorial I’m a visual learner and sometimes people ramble on to make a long video with no real information 😂 I made it through your whole video thank you for the honest review on these I been thinking of trying them
It's hard to describe in words as I'm more of a hands on person but when peeling the film off try not to pull upwards. Use a rolling back motion if that makes sense? At 13:45 you use the rolling back motion on the sleeve and it peels flawlessly
@lucykiins ok. I'm not that good either. But using KITTL, I am starting to figure out how to create designs. The designs they have you can move stuff around so you can have your own or make your own designs. Btw, I'm starting off as well.
the printer is a DTF printer that uses special DTF ink. it's a whole equipment set up that you need lol. these transfers were custom made and just need to be hot pressed ☺️
i haven't used these as often so they've only been washed once or twice, BUT i want to do that for a future video. wash it 10 times and see if there's a difference.

you have to let me know which you prefer from all the ones you said!

thank you for the tips! i've been wanting a heat gun too just to see what temp i'm actually using 😅

i'm glad i could help 😌 i have yet to try screen print transfers!
thank you for sharing this. now i know that I can do my own designs and not just theirs. specially how you shared the actual process, awesome! Subs!
yes it totally comes in handy 😃
Órale loved your tutorial I’m a visual learner and sometimes people ramble on to make a long video with no real information 😂 I made it through your whole video thank you for the honest review on these I been thinking of trying them
that makes me happy to hear! sometimes i feel like my talking videos are too long, but i have too much i want/need to say 😅
I was skeptical thank you 🎉🌸💞🎄
let me know if you try them out ☺️
What size did you use for the Disney channels transfer design? Is it 12x17?
it's approx 9.75"x13.5" ☺️
So good!! 😍🙌🙌
thank youuuu 🥰🥰
It's hard to describe in words as I'm more of a hands on person but when peeling the film off try not to pull upwards. Use a rolling back motion if that makes sense? At 13:45 you use the rolling back motion on the sleeve and it peels flawlessly
definitely going to do that from now on! thank you 😄
These turned out nice!! Did you just find these images online or did you create some of them?
thank you so much 😁🩷 i purchased them from Etsy. i tried to link them all in the description 🤗
Hey video is good 👍🏾 …how long were you pressing? Shouldn’t it be 15 seconds usually? Also I’ve done many at 315 degreees, not 310 (heat press)
yeah, each press was 15 seconds. i did 310 degrees because that's the temp the instructions stated to use 😊
Good video. Question, what design app do you use. I use KITTL but I would like to venture into another app
i wish i was good at designing 😩 all of these designs were purchased on Etsy!
@lucykiins ok. I'm not that good either. But using KITTL, I am starting to figure out how to create designs. The designs they have you can move stuff around so you can have your own or make your own designs. Btw, I'm starting off as well.
is it an app or a computer program?
@@lucykiins it's a website
Can use heat-resistant tape to keep the designs in place
yes, you can 😊
Amount of Cotton and poly etc is said to change the outcome of over all long-term durability
which is better? 100% cotton?
What kind of ink or printer need for this?
I am so dumb that is ready ink on it just need a hot press right? lol
the printer is a DTF printer that uses special DTF ink. it's a whole equipment set up that you need lol. these transfers were custom made and just need to be hot pressed ☺️
What kind of heat press are you using?
15x15 Walapress. i have it linked in the description 😊
Dope thank you love the content keep it up
Your nails look so so nice Lucy.
thank you so much! i love doing them ☺️
How has it held up after multiplw washing?
i haven't used these as often so they've only been washed once or twice, BUT i want to do that for a future video. wash it 10 times and see if there's a difference.
@@lucykiins That would be great.

Do you create the shirt you're wearing with DTF?
no, i purchased the sweatshirt online. i think it's DTG though 😊
