Can you cover DIY screen printing?
You can cover the super critical sport wear manufacturing here in Bangladesh. Thank you
@@IndyFlatlander You got it!! Working on that one now
@@johnxsantos Awesome! Looking forward to making some custom shirts for a company brand!
Thank you for always helping and giving information 🙏🏽
I've done home printer/iron on before at home. It looks really good on white shirts but after the first wash, it looks like its ready to become a house cleaning cloth. So, I recommend this only for one offs such as birthdays, memorials, etc. Something that you will only use one-time.
Get an EcoTank printer and invest in sublimation ink for lasting t-shirts. 100% cotton will wash out. Works better on 65% poly and up.
If you do that I'll recommend using a white color shirt and 100% polyester, or Dryfit shirt. Works good
heat on vinyl will stay great afther washing
so far the transfer paper i have used is indeed mostly shit quality
What was the quality of the transfer paper, ink, and material of shirts you used? Did you hit them with wax treatment after the initial design transfer? And turn the shirts inside out when washing and drying?
What if you hand wash it then let it dry? Will it be wearable for everyday ?😶 🤔
And I hope you or someone responds cuz my friend and I gonna make some matching t-shirts and wear them on Halloween 🤪
You guys are the best
I never get tired watching your tutorials
I love your determination. Just want to help out with the cutting. You can buy a cricut machine and it will cut the exact shape out for you in no time. Hope that helps you love🤗
Thank You for all of your videos that you did.
Fun and very informative! Thank you.
You can buy weedless inkjet sheets in various sizes as well. So, no longer need to worry about trimming ( but I also used to add a stroke to the edge matching each color shirt so if trimming is off kinda cover that up) .But ironing still itself is more time consuming & not necessarily a perfectly flat pressure on the entire image, so inconsistency will still be an issue. Especially after washing a couple times.
Used heat press...atleast until one can get that sweet automatic unit in the video.
How’d the quality hold up using the press
What sheets did you use?
JAH KNOW I APPRECIATE D VEDIO N I HAD ALREADY DECIDED LONG TIME THAT I ONLY WANT THE BEST FOR MY PEOPLE!! LOVING THE LEARNING. THANK YOU TEAM
Luv this video !!! I’m trying to get started !!!!
You should have 1M subscribers your a GOAT 💪🏽🙏🏽💯
He is hilarious running around those ladies while they were working! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I use that same paper from Walmart. Great video.
What was the paper used for the dark inkjet transfer paper ? Like brand wise ? I’m just starting with my clothing line & I need serious at home pointers 😢🙏🏽
I use dark transfer on all colored shirts & they always look great!
I’ve heard a lot of people say that. Why is it that dark colored transfer paper lasts longer ?
@BriizCustoms I think so because I washed the white transfers and it cracked after first wash...the dark transfer a few washes in and still looks great
@@tysymone4788 do u know if the dark transfers will work on white tees? want to use one that will last as long as possible
@@thunderpride7633yep! They’re basically a white canvas that you print on and cut out. It’ll likely look better in my opinion. 😉
This is actually the best way to make shirts on a budget
As always, a fun, funny, informative video! Keep up the content! Tell Cody, at home teeshirts make great Christmas presents 😉.
Thank you for watching! 😂
@@johnxsantos is that you in the second comment!?
@@peanutpi1398 There is a fake John Santos looming on my channel. We are doing our best to report them! But they keep coming up! Rest assured, our only accounts are @johnxsantos and @ftguacademy on Instagram.
It's easier than it looks. I found learning soft design (like setups - I use SERUM) much more scary but it's doable, you just gotta be
That's Fire!
l do the same with my vinyl cutter with my t-shirt sticker combo. Women and Kids love it, but looking to build a brand and more traffic
LOVE IT SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH.
Thank you. We had a blast making this. Much more to come 🙌🏽
Thank you guys about time
Do you have to cut out the design even when using a heat press for sublimation transfers? Seems like a lot of tedious work. Can you please clarify?
Hey john, would you recommend the 50x50cm or the 38x38cm heat press? Having heat distributed spread evenly?
Woo might have to use this frfr ! I like it
I do single color on WM clearance shirts for $9.99 on an iron all day my heat press hasn't been used in ages.
Thanks for this!!
Thank you.
Very nice video 🎉🎉 I think I’m gonna start out making them without the big T shirt machine. But cool video 😊😊
Very soon I will start doing this
What printer do you have to use for this? Or can I use any ?
I have did shirts using light and dark transfer paper but for some reason it fades and/or peel when washed. Any suggestions?
Sweet video!
good content and tips!
Thank you John I Signed up for Supra Color Account and Added Your name as a Reference
Thank you for your informative instructions
is it a one time use? Like once you wash it does it just wash straight off? im assuming so since its paper or whatever
John ! thanks for video
Thank you for watching!
Please advise what transfer paper u guys using on this ad is it dark transfer paper or light transfer paper.. thanks
I might do this
After you print the paper then cut the white.. i just put it directly into the t shirt and press with iron? Will the paper burn tho?
Can I get the name of the brand of heat press and printer in this video we want to check it out for making shirts for our brand..can u recommend a hat press as well
What is the thing called that you put over the design before u put it in the heat press
Code-man, y u no use a Cricut? You can layout your design in the design app (or import your PS image), print it out on your friend's inkjet, then the Cricut machine will cut it out perfectly.
Lemmy know when you'd like to hire me as a consultant ;D
How do you print the images for graphic tees tho ? I’m starting mine up rn. I have a perm press and a Circut joy cuter
I get custom graphic t-shirts since everyone buys graphics tees from Hot Topic, Spencer’s, Kohl’s, and Pac Sun. I like to have a custom art graphic shirts that are original.
What's the website you use for super color ?
Yoo I have a question can I print a t-shirt with normal inject print and regular ink with heat transfer paper for sublimation
Hi can i use dye ink?
would designes that you created from canva work as well?
What type paper do you use to print for the Tshirts???
What paper was used to transfer the picture onto the shirt? Or is it regular printing paper?
Minute 6:11 , mission was a success , but when you arrived home the draws were already on table xD
Just fun, Love ur videos :D
Morning boys. What type printer you guys used. Or what is a simple cheap printer to use from home please
I have a question bout my PNG file I send to the printing factory, but the color is dark and not the same as my original design, I do my own drawings and designs but I can’t seem to get it on CMYK the colors r dark and trashy… any advice how turn my Procreate Art to print exactly the same color as my original design when transferred?
Hello is it a sticker or it can be any picture with the iron
is that dark transfer paper using pigment?
What do u need to make the transfers?
How you get white on the transfer paper, which printer?
What ink do you use for this method
Where can u download or find pictures for the shirts?
Currently using a regular iron for my patched t-shirts business from home💯
#fromthegroundup
Which paper did you print the image on?
Hi how you make design and can you make vlog how you make the stickers
So I can just print this on paper and cut it out and iron it on, or is it a special type of paper
What printer do you use?
How many washes though? Should these be laminated?
Wait so you can just use any printer and print the image on the special paper right?
Hey john does it work with an hoodie too?
Look at the transparency in the art on the light. Supacolour cannot print transparencies
will this work on pants too?
hi what printer you using?
Help! I'm starting off with the basics! Using an HP inkjet printer and transfer paper and domestic iron! I just did my first design and two things result I don't want: I cut the design to a smaller size after printing and it has a border I don't want (cutting around design). The design has a border in the original file but as I printed landscape it was out of sight and too large a design, so I cut. Second, the color output was not at all the brightness of the design file. I'm guessing something with printer settings including paper type, which I didn't use for this first printout. Has anyone encountered this, or is familiar enough to provide some tips? Thanks! =).
How did you create the cartoon characters for your Image?
WoW this is what I used to do in 2004 selling shirts on ebay. Now I use DTF , Sublimation, and Vinyl. Customers don't like paper transfers anymore . Their cheap , They crack, ink bleeds. Its all about DTF now.
Wat transfer papers u use
I do sublimation on white and very light clothing. For dark clothes I use htvront dark fabric transfer paper
Hi how did you get the cartoon pics? in the artwork? Did an artist draw them? or was it an App? Thanks for your help.
That's what I want to know. Looks like snapchat 🙄
They’re just Snapchat characters. You can customize your bitmoji to look however you want, and then look at the different poses and screenshot them.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM WATCHING THIS WHILE HIGH N THE DOOD W THE GLASSES GOT ME DYING W THAT ROLL ON THE FLOOR 💀💀
Well, I love the T-shirts with pictures and things that are not standing out. It’s because they make the Tees look so tacky. And small prints like the badge design can be better.
Does this work on like golf polos?
i have a question. using heat transfer papers on 100% cotton ts, some places have this wax that apply on the design it self to protect it from color bleeds and its not the wax paper it self its like some type of wax. hopefully someone can help
Cutting out around the transfer paper for each design would get old after 1 time, it looks nice, but definitely not something I would want to attempt multiple times.
I can't remember of you had a video about screen printed transfer papers that are a similar idea
Gets old real quick! Design capability is a huge limitation to store bought transfer kits. There are a few videos on heat transfers on the channel 🙏🏽
@@johnxsantos I'll check it out, you guys post some good content
Get a CRICUT EXPLORE
Which paper do you use
What printer are you using
Its deff rock, paper, scissors 🤣🤣🤣 good content gang 👌🏾
I remember learning English at 5 years old, and I always said, paper rock scissors. 😂
On which paper you print??
What kinda sheet is used to print? Can somebody pls tell me?
Is there any transfer paper that doesn't require cutting for any design? Can it simply be placed on garment and transfered then peeld off? Will it work with inkjet printers? Thanks! =).
Closest to that is Press-Art sheets. www.Streetcrafter.com
Quala $1,300 heat press is great, you can still get away with it using a heat press that's like $200 for quite a while!
Where do you get it
I can do airbrushing and paint on shirts, make custom designs
could you iron on the supacolor heat transfeers?
You can 😱! We need to do more wash tests before sharing that technique with you all. 🙌🏽
@@johnxsantos awesome 👏
He mad funny 😂
Hey i have a question. Is there a printing machine that prints your stamp design with all the colors in it and its also cut and ready for the heat press that doesn't costs thousand of dollars?
Nope
100% Cotton is a Moths Wet Dream!
Can you say whats that paper name?
He said 100% cotton is required to do heat press is that true? I thought you needed 100% to 60% cotton for sublimation but i didn't think it mattered for heat press.
Get yourself a BROTHER Scan & Cut Craft Machine...SDX225...(Comes w/ a light & heavy stick mat to feed your Image into the mach8ne...I Tape all my 8x10's down..but not close to the image or you will get shadowing ...put a Contour cut around your Image...PRINT...load on your Scan & Cut low Tac Mat...Scan...then it will show the image on the screen after Scanning...you have to put a box around the image you want cut out...Then you'll NEVER use an exacto to spend unnecessary Money Making time hand Cutting...Hope this helps...
You need to have a Company Register to Order from SupaColor? Or anybody can order from SupaColor?.Minimun 10 pieces?
Am from Nigeria I want to do business with you, how can I get the product me large quantity
It's amazing how many people don't know how to make a how-to video. I mean they waste time telling us things that are common sense. They waste time and things that are nothing to do with the video. And they don't go into detail about some things. Like for example does it bleed after one wash? If so what's the other alternative? Also when you put the design on a t-shirt Can You Feel The Print or it doesn't blend in where you can't even feel the print? And whether you can feel it or not, what are the options to set it up where you can feel the print and where you cannot for the print? What are the pros and cons of making t-shirts with the print that you can feel and a print that you cannot feel? When you buy the t-shirts what your total cost? How much do you make when you sell everything? How much shipping? And there are more examples but you get the point.
“Paper, scissors, rock, shoot.”
But out of the two options you gave… Definitely “Rock, paper, scissors”
Inject or inkjet printer?
What paper was that?
Do you need a simulated printer or will any printer with a heat press
Any inket printer will work!
@@johnxsantos which inkjet printer do you recommend?
I worked in the industry for over 20 years, and heat transfers are crap. I am also not a fan of Direct to Garment printing. Give me good old Silkscreening every time.
