I been the using the same cricut for 4 years , made alot of money off it and quality one colour prints , I was screen printing for years and hated on vinyl but finally got over myself 🤙🏾

How did you get started? If you get a large order is it feasible to weed that much vs print DTF?

@estebanlopez5372 5 ай бұрын

@@ninjaskoldpadda1005 Same question here. Weeding consumes too much time.

@RoommateWiLLE 5 ай бұрын

@@ninjaskoldpadda1005I think your best bet depends on the quantity, it might be better for you to get transfers. There are so many options now when it comes to good quality transfers. Like for me if it's over 10 I'll do transfers. But it also really depends on what's being printed. If it's a simple print, why not use vinyl? Multi-colors and difficult prints definitely DTF transfers.

I ran my cameo 3 for a few years and still use it. Lately if I need to show a client a mock-up of a shirt before ordering dtf. To get the size right I’ll print and cut with printer paper and tape it onto the shirt to show exactly how it’ll look so the client know what they are getting. Just a new way I discovered to use it besides just cutting vinyl

I literally just got done with 8 tshirts with HTV for a customer. I've been taking your advice since day one when I got into this business. I'll use HTV to test out a design for my own brand and if its a hit i'll order up transfers from transfer express! Thank you Big Brandoh for the years of guidance!!! ALOHA!

Ughhhh this video was much needed and overdue especially with the explosive rise of DTF. Vinyl will not die and those who think they are above it are crazy frfr! I have started using it with embroidery projects and the effects Im getting....DTF could never! So thank you Brandoh for taking the time to speak on this, like I said it was much needed for those folks "in the back".

@peajayjones8636 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info. I like HTV! So many types of vinyl to use and I can use it on various material. I just started putting vinyl on cups and glasses, because sublimation can be hit or miss and wasteful at times. I also want to say, thanks for getting straight to the point in your videos.

@vincentjohnson1383 6 ай бұрын

I use vinyl and do pretty well... just a hobby but lots of repeat customers. i recently purchased a white toner printer system that will allow me to print multicolor jobs but still in the enfant stage of that. I really appreciated hearing what you had to say though. Thanks

@bigbuxxx 5 ай бұрын

Have a Vinyl cutter ( a Cricut) and started based on this channel. I’ve been using transfers and now been dabbling in local dtf. I got ready to give up vinyl no lie until I looked in my storage bin and say how much money could still be made with vinyl

@hotzauhse 6 ай бұрын

People should use everything. Why? Because sometimes you want a colorful design with a lot of details so DTF is the way to go. Sometimes you want letters or silhouettes of something so vinyl is ideal for that. Weeding is annoying sometimes but still you spend less money than doing dtf or screen print.

@Elyse25 6 ай бұрын

I was hoping to see you at the expo and say thank you! I'm brand new to all of this, like literally unboxed my heat press from Proworld. I plan on buying the Cameo 5 and maybe an inkjet printer.. idk, the expo was A LOT of info, good info.. and I saw that Supacolor is located in Hawthorne, so I have to support the South Bay! Thanks again, I love watching your videos because I can understand how you explain things :)

and it is good for emergencies. I had to add some letters to shirts i already had DTF for so was able to customize them by just adding names and dates for Memorial shirts

In my Etsy shop I used to sell HTV decorated t-shirts, baby bodysuits, toddler shirts, and hats. But my sales slowed to a crawl when about a jillion Etsy sellers started using DTF. If you read some of their listing descriptions they are making comments like "Not made with low grade vinyl." I have even seen KZfaq videos slamming HTV for apparel.

I'm coming to the conclusion that certain designs look better on certain types of vinyls. And you mentioned there's other types of vinyls in this video. What others types of econo vinyl do you use?

Can you use a vinyl cutter to cut transfers? I don't have a heat press yet but if you can cut a gangsheet with a vinyl cutter you can more than double the number of sleeve hits you can put on a single sheet. You can tighten up your spacing a lot if you take the potential for human error out of the process.

ive been using cameo cutters for the last 10+ years. no issues on my end. my only advice is buy a cutter that fits your budget and look for content on youtube on how to use the cutter you buy into. that way you can have a reference when you need to troubleshoot or help you get going. i know nothing about siser cutters. never used one so i cant say good or bad things about it.

@donnyirish190 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for all the knowledge Big B! Been taking your advice for a while now and it's all been good. Been cutting vinyl for years then followed your lead into Supacolor. What's your thoughts on the durability and longevity of vinyl? My experiences have been mixed, if you make a shirt with vinyl how long do you expect it to last before peeling or cracking? As always, thanks for the help big bro!
