Hey there! What printer and software are you running? I would honestly try adjusting the ink levels for more vibrant white vs the black powder. Here is a video how to perform this in CADlink: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g91mjZSp0ce8mZc.htmlsi=L-6fbgVtyBdNL_dW

New to your channel, question should you use black power only on dark colors liked the video

@AAPrintSupplyCo 11 ай бұрын

Hey there! I would say the primary usage for the black powder would be to prevent dye migration (seeing the fabric color through your transfer). If the film you are using is leaving lots of powder around the image and transferring as little dots this can help with the appearance of them on dark materials also

I just got the L2 and having the dye issues like you said. you talked about the L2 can stop this buy the settings in the software. Cn you help me out on this. I have been looking for 2 days now and even asked on slack but was never given a starting point for numbers on the setting.

Hello there, in the DigiRIP software you can open up the Queue Properties window -click on Color Layer -click on Processing Options -adjust Maximum Ink% (White ink strength) We advise increasing in amounts of 5 to 10 % until the results improve

Would black powder work with sublimation ink on dark red, blue black? I’m looking to purchase Epson ET 170.

Hey there! We have seen the sublimation ink/direct to film hack method folks are doing online. Honestly, we have not tested it. That being said, people should expect a similar success rate as they do when performing this with the WHITE dtf powder

Great video. In Digital Factory v10 I have the white ink strength at %100 for dark shirts but white ink passes at 1. Sounds like upping the white ink passes will also help dye migration if wanting to stick with white powder. My question is what’s a decent setting for white ink passes? Is 2 a good start or do some even go to 3? I heard some always do more than 1 pass for better vibrancy. Wondering your opinion. Thx.

Hello and thank you for supporting the channel! We have also found increasing the white ink to be effective against dye migration and for some models stop it entirely. The RIP settings can vary printer to printer, ink to ink etc - what machine are you running the CADlink on we are referring to with the ink pass setting?

@razormix Жыл бұрын

@@AAPrintSupplyCo I have the Prestige A3+ R with DTF Station Ink & Film. I did a test setting the White Ink pass to 2 and it did make a much stronger base. There were a couple of areas where the white ink was running a bit when I lifted the print. I let it settle for a few before adding the powder. That is with the white ink strength on %100. Maybe I should try lowering it to say %75 when doing 2 passes so the total white should be %150 instead of %200. Does that seem to make sense? I rather the best results vs saving on white ink. Thanks again.

@AAPrintSupplyCo Жыл бұрын

Yes, 2 pass at 100% is excessive and will likely cause pooling. If nozzle check pattern is fine we should try setting it to 2 pass at 60%. That should work fine with a black garment:)

Hey, have you ever tried the DTF white backing ink with Sublimation Inks for the other colors? Was just curious how its come out. The DTF inks look so thick to me, but of course, to print on black and cotton you need the DTF white, but was thinking using Sublimation Ink for the other colors might cut down on the thick look. Was just looking to have the look more closer to sublimation where the ink looks more like part of the material instead of looking like something that's just sitting on top of the material.

Hey there, we did see when folks starting doing this. We have some concerns: color quality without the white overprint layer and longevity of the print with the dye sub ink on non poly. These areas of image quality and durability are a big of red flags when it comes to the printing business. Have you tried it out?

@nullage 7 ай бұрын

@@AAPrintSupplyCoHey, no, I meant with the white DTF layer though, but for the colored inks only sublimation ink. No I haven't tried it yet. I was just curious if you have. I'm just getting started into this, and seemed to me like it should work in theory. Would have loved to had seen the result if possible. Thanks

@@nullage we have seen different levels of success with folks online running the sublimation ink hack. I feel when it comes to the RIP software, the ink absorbing layer of the film and amount of ink printed with a sublimation printer there are many variables to keep in mind to execute this. Have not had the chance to test it personally here but let us know how things go if you decided to give it a shot!

why cant you mix the black and white? I used blocker gray everyday when i screen print my polyester. Is there something wrong with making a gray blocker powder?

@AAPrintSupplyCo 8 ай бұрын

This is a great question: honestly there may be nothing physically wrong in actual usage combining both, however, if any issue arises in print quality the cause may be more easily identified using the products as intended

Would you use black dtf powder on white or light materials?

@AAPrintSupplyCo 4 ай бұрын

Hello, the main use for the black powder would be to stop dye migration (when you are seeing the fabric color THROUGH your applied DTF transfer. This can be especially present with red material or pattern fabric such as camo. If I am not experiencing dye migration I would use the white powder.
