Video was great you showed us some good things appreciate it thank you so very much but I’m gonna have to ask stop the music it takes away from everything and I feel like I’m on hold waiting for somebody to pick up so that I can make an appointment or something
Thank you for listening have a nice day
Which printer did you use? Becuz... I have a converted sublimation printer that don't print white ink, that is why we are using these products.. If we had a DTF/DTG printer, why would we use powders, etc. If it already can print on those? Got me?
You have to use the DTF powder regardless unless you are doing direct to garment..DTF transfers news the powder as it's the adhesive.
Great video, music is a little loud and makes it hard to hear.
Thank you! We'll lower it moving forward
Agreed 👍🏾But Loved how he went straight to the point even more
Heard everything just fine
Definitely agree!!! Music 🎶 is way too loud!!! 😮😮
Great comparison video, but that background music is very distracting & like others said, hard to hear you.
Hi, I discovered you by watching your videos on UA-cam. I have an Epson 1800L printer converted to DTF, to print only white logos on a black t-shirt, can I get excellent results by printing the white isotro at 1440x720 or should I print the white at 1440x1440?
You should get similar results if you're just printing white prints. The key is to use good white ink. You can probably turn your white % up. I would turn it all the way up. If it starts to drip, then turn it down. You are limited with how much white ink the film can absorb.
I am trying to star a small side business, what DTF machine do you recommend to start with?
We use commercial printers, we can only recommend what we use and test.
Thank you for great video
Can DTF powder be use on regular vinyl iron on transfers? What fabrics are best, 💯% cotton, cotton blend or nylon?
No, dtf power is only usable for DTF printers. Vinyl is a different process. DTF Works for all the fabrics you mentioned. Only difference is temperature setting
Thank you!!!!!
Do you need to use powder?
We use powder when we print our transfers. Our customer's don't need to apply powder after
325 degrees f? and what temp and how long did it take to cure the powder?
Thank you for the video. I have a question? Can I use my epson 2670 sublimation printer to print with DTF paper
I believe the ink is different.
Which printer would you recommend for DTF in epson series ? What about 8500 ?
Unfortunately i'm not familiar with the 8500 so I wouldn't be able to recommend.
Yes, you can use the Epson ET 8550. It is easy to convert unlike the ET 15000
My prints are kind of glossy, could you please tell me what do I have to change to get matte prints ?
Use Kraft paper as a second press
How do you get ur white so bring and clean ?
We've had years of experience and dialing it down to get to where we're at. Starts from a good manufacture of ink.
Great concert you have here 😂 🎶
is the hot melt DTF powder the same stuff as the hot melt powder used for plastisol transfers? looks the same to me.
Good question, powder comes in different micron sizes, so you’ll need to play with what works for you. There are also different melting points. Humidity and static is another issue. It’s really a science.
Did it give you a light grey look? My white transfers are turning light grey when I press them on blacks tees
Mix white ink well. We also use 2 white print heads so it’s extra thick
Why not use a darker color on the black, doesn’t help me. Because white doesn’t come out on print
Hi. Thx for the video. May I know what is the percentage of the ink and white did u use.
We do 80% white on our pure white designs.
what ink did you use to print on the transfer paper? Im using an inkjet printer. planning to heat press on black garments. the design is all white.
So with dtf film u normally use sublimation ink on it not regular inkjet printer ink. It won’t last long if u do.
@@jessicajacobs8995 The fed ink and sub ink are not the same.
Tell me how black powder would work on white as for seeing any black residue? I like that you say it's softer, less rubber feel. I just purchased the Epson Xp 15000 to convert to DTF Printer. I bought less of the black powder than white. But if black can look same but feel softer... than I'd be more interested in black. Plus I'll be doing a lot of blk tshirts. Thank you.
It looks pretty close in our opinion. Most of our customer's do not have issues with whites looking faint as long as you are printing with good bright white ink.
@@transfersuperstars As for softer feel and look closer to screen print, you said black accomplished this... right? Thank you for replying.
@@transfersuperstars what printer do you use to get white ink?
Thanks!!
Welcome!
How do u print white
Our DTF Machine will print white ink. Its just a separate channel.
Im baking at 102C for 120 seconds and sometimes the powder is purple on the back, and will come through to the front of the image, any idea whats causing this?
Too much ink?
Did you ever figure out why the powder was coming through to the front of the image?
@@RBCreations830 yep, I actually back at a higher temp now, 120c also, the print was too wet, I let it dry more before applying the powder.
Can the black powder be used as a sub blocker for sublimated shirts to help prevent dye migration?
Test test test
Yes and No. For jerseys you have to lower heat press temps. If for cotton we use 160 degree Celsius, for polyester/jerseys we use 130 Celsius. There are new low melting powders coming to the market.
@@sa4555 we are currently looking at DTF machines and this exact problem is holding us back in terms of bad migration on sub jerseys, in testing with the machine company we have tried normal thickness logos however the sub always come through even at lower temps they tried as low as 105C we then tried bulking up the logo by applying a lot of ink and again applying at low temps which did help with the migration however after the first wash the quality of the logo degraded badly. I was going to suggest they tried black powder however if this mixes with the white ink that will cause a different issue?
@@STPMartin I can suggest 3 things you can try:
1- During pressing do you use high pressure? If so then you will end up with the same issue, try decreasing the pressure, instead of increasing white ink opacity. On jerseys/polyester even at low pressure the transfer sticks.
2- press timing: you can also try decreasing the time of each press, we found 7 secs per press to be optimum duration, however you must take care not to lower temps too much as this might affect washability of transfer.
3- using different PET film. In our experience when we use matte film instead of usual glossy films, we get good results for transfers on polyester. We combine medium pressure at around 130 Celsius and matte film, our prints came out very nice. As far as i know there are 2 thickness matte films available, 75 and 100 micron, we have tried both and get pretty much similar results. Another thing to note with matte films is amount of white ink used, usually if you put 100% down on matte, the ink starts to flow so we stick between 80 to 85% opacity for white ink.
Try doing what I suggested above and I am sure you will find a combination that gets your desired results.
Edit: the issue is not with DTF machines but that of ink and transfer films, we must remember dtf technology is still in its infancy when compared to others, its constantly improving. So try focusing on inks and PET films suppliers, to improve transfer quality.
@@sa4555 thank you for taking the time to respond I will try/ pass on what you have said and finger crossed!!
Why my print design yellow after melt powder in oven please help
Speed/bake-time and temperature is my guess. Try a lower temperature based on your adhesion powder. You’ll need find tune those things.
Lower temperature
Lower temperature, slower belt speed
Faster belt speed
One of the above options might fix the issue.
@@transfersuperstars okay I will try Thank you
How do you prevent the DTF Powder from transfering on the garment?
Most of the time the dtf powder will go away with a second press
great
Good video but music to loud
Good information but that annoying music don't let us hear his words clearly
Great music. Will be much better without it
Thank you for letting us know.
Bruh, your music is tacky and LOUD! get a mic. Get rid of the wack music.
thanks for the feedback
Great video thanks
