Wow this is so nice! How long and what temperature do you use for the final press or when you heat set the print? What is the darkest color of shirt you would use?
The film will not run through mt ET 2760 it either jams or runs through with no printing. I can get it to print on my Epson 15000 but the colors do not seem very bright
Oh no! I have a 2720 and no issue but you can try taping a piece of copier paper to the back of the DTF with painters tape. People with a sawgrass have to do this and it works for them
Hey Hun Thank you for making this video, after seeing you do yours I had the courage to do my first dtf design, Print and press. I did have to masking tape a sheet of copy paper behind my film for the printer to see it. and I used butcher paper and I think it robbed me of some heat so I tried just the teflon sheet and it worked.
No the first press on the carrier sheet is mirrored faced down Once you remove the carrier sheet you will put parchment paper and press for a few seconds
Mr. T no sublimation paper will. I have tried EasiSubli and it works well but it has a real plastic type feel. I ordered the new Siser DTV but you print on it with your regular inks. I’ll do a video when I get it. Of course you can sublimate on glitter htv but not everyone wants glitter. If I discover something I’ll let you know. Thanks for watching my video
@@onpointaccents I bought a ghost white toner cartridge for my laser printer and thought about purchasing the film to use it but not sure if it will feel plastic or rubber like on the material.
The direct to film is not rubbery feeling. It’s very thin and barely has a feel. I love it. The easi Subli is thick and rubbery. Not a fan If you figure out a way to print on black and other dark colors let me know.
Go to Print Click Preferences Set paper source Set paper size Change paper type to PREMIUM PEESENTATION PAPER MATTE change quality to HIGH CLICK more options tab UNCHECK HIGH SPEED CHECK MIRROR IMAGE under color corrections check CUSTOM Click on ADVANCED change color mode to ADOBE RGB SET GAMMA TO 2.2 HIT OKAY THEN HIT OKAY AGAIN
Did I hear you right? It sounded like you said 490 for 60 seconds. If you use that high of a temp when sublimating polyester shirts, you are going to be scorching the shirts. I have found that 400 (exact, not what the press is telling you) with very light pressure. Then place parchment over the print, tighten the tension by 1/4 turn and press again for 15 seconds to remove the paper lines. I've never had any sublimation ink bleed through the layers, and I've done 100's of them just this year alone. The better way to sublimate on cotton is a product called Fuze.
I do not have any problem with the DTF film. I do know people with sawgrass have to tape a piece of copy paper to the back of the film to get it through the machine. I DO have trouble with Easi Subli leaving lines from dragging but it is thicker
In general transfer paper doesn’t hold up over a long period of time. It cracks and fades easily. I would say you could use that for things like needing fast matching shirts for birthday party’s and things that you won’t be keeping to wear over and over. I also would not sell anything with transfer paper because it doesn’t hold up that well. The only one I have used that held up was Starcraft. Thanks for watching my videos

I just returned some dtf film because every time I printed , I could see pizza wheels on the image or around the top of each film.. when I print on regular ASub I get no pizza wheels. I have a epson 2720 and use a MacBook.. I even changed my settings to envelope and it still got the pizza wheels .. any advice ???
How thick is the DTF you are using? The one I used is very thin No pizza wheels, Easy Subli I can not use because I always get pizza wheels. I am not sure what to do about it. If I can figure it out I’ll certainly reach out
@@onpointaccents I never thought the thickness of the DTF film was the issue. I did return that DTF film and I got a new one however, I am still having issues with the temperature and time I’m guessing DTF sublimation hack is a no for me.
@@onpointaccents Yes thanks my printer is for sublimation epson.2760 (converted) Also what are your printer settings because my prints come out blotchy like not all colored in Thanks
Hi, make sure you download the drivers and utilities Settings: Best Quality Go to color matching select epson color controls Under print settings Go to Paper presentation pick matte high quality click mirror image then go to color options click manual settings and click advance settings choose adobe RGB and gamma should be 2.2 Hope this helps
Wow this is so nice! How long and what temperature do you use for the final press or when you heat set the print? What is the darkest color of shirt you would use?
I use 380 for 60 seconds I think medium and light colors
No black navy or red.
Thanks so much!
Thank you I am new to cricut and sublimation your video is so easy to follow
Thank you for watching!

@@onpointaccents thanks. I tried that and just attaching painter tape to film. Still didn’t work
Oh no… sorry it didn’t work.
Maybe try doing it and using thick envelope setting
PUT PAINTERS TAPE ON THE OTTOM AND IT WILL FEED THRU
Can’t wait to re try with your tips thank u❤️
Let me know how it goes 💜
Your video of this new hack is excellent. I am so glad to see this technique on a tee with color. I can't wait to try this.
Thank you! Have fun trying this technique
Can’t wait to try this! Thank you so much for sharing!🙌🏿🙌🏿
Have fun!

Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing. I’m so glad it worked for you.
Wish someone could do this with a epson 8550😢
If you have sublimation ink in it then it works the exact same way
Did you press the image face up?
No the first press on the carrier sheet is mirrored faced down
Once you remove the carrier sheet you will put parchment paper and press for a few seconds
@@onpointaccents Thank you!!!
Great video but have you ever done this process on dark or black t-shirts?
I actually tried black today. It does not work 😢
@@onpointaccents do they have other sublimation paper that’ll print on black cotton shirts using the Epson Eco Tank printer?
Mr. T no sublimation paper will.
I have tried EasiSubli and it works well but it has a real plastic type feel.
I ordered the new Siser DTV but you print on it with your regular inks. I’ll do a video when I get it.

OMG.... thank you for this... because nobody tells what printer settings they use... I appreciate you... 😊
So you're using a sublimation ink and print it on DTF film with Hot Melt Powder.
Do we need to mirror the image?
Yes, sublimation ink DTF film, hot melt and mirror your design.
@@onpointaccents Thank you so much... ❤️❤️❤️

I use 390
I’ll have to look up that product
This is used on Cotton, the powder helps the transfer adhere to the cotton shirt. If it was polyester, you wouldn't use powder and DTF film.
Do you ever have a problem with film on your printer. I always get a printer jam
I do not have any problem with the DTF film. I do know people with sawgrass have to tape a piece of copy paper to the back of the film to get it through the machine.
I DO have trouble with Easi Subli leaving lines from dragging but it is thicker
So what's the difference between using a regular Jolee's or other transfer paper ? Thank u great video

@@onpointaccents oh ok thank
Love this video!!!!!! Thanks for sharing this creative idea.❣
I love using the product! It works perfectly with my sublimation machine, even though it’s not officially made for that.
👀
Lol I throw the towel down too 😂
Enjoyed the video. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you for all the info!
Thank you! Let me know how it works for you.
Thank you its popping🔥 I gone trying and share this 🎥 with my sister-in-law as well very easy!!
Hi great video. I am also loving this technique
Thank you!
Is there another way to melt the powder besides the heat press? I have a cricut easy press and I can't get it to melt the powder.
You can use a heat gun.
Very inexpensive Hobby Lobby or Amazon
@@onpointaccents I have one but was afraid it mess up the film or design/print.
It will work. Just don’t hold it really close
@@onpointaccents Ok thanks. I'll give it a try 🙂

Sorry to hear this. I specifically use Yamation. No luck with others
You didn’t get roller streaks?
No
But I always do with things like easisubli but not this
@@onpointaccents 🤔 I changed my mind about trying it because others say they get roller marks.
@@williambermudez204 I don’t get any with this product.
If you try it let me know how it works for you
Which model epson printer are u using Thanks
I have the EcoTank 2720. You just don’t put the ink in that comes with it. Instead you put sublimation ink and you’re good to go
@@onpointaccents Yes thanks my printer is for sublimation epson.2760 (converted)
Also what are your printer settings because my prints come out blotchy like not all colored in
