Guys we had a bit of a business fail, I was super excited to begin printing and pressing my own bag and apparel with my new dtf printer, but the results and ideas were short lived with the reality of how hard, slow and difficult it is to use them, we ended up returning our printer and here is why!
We also get to work on making up some sticker packs on the cricuts and prepare for a autumn shop update!
YOU DA BEST
Love,
Catherine

DTF is a mess and the results are stiff and strange feeling. Best to go with a DTG printer if you are going to do it.

@rabsrealm Жыл бұрын

That's a shame. I also have a P600 (and a 1500W) for DTF printing but they should never had you put 4 white channels in it. I alternate the white between my LC LM and LK LLK every other week. 2 channels run white and 2 run cleaning fluid. That way you'll never have trouble with your white ink. Coverage is more than adequate from 2 channels. All mine takes is a daily shake of the white ink and a small white only square printed to wet the heads. It then prints like a champ all day. Those little curing ovens are rubbish also, I use a delongi convection oven to cure mine. It takes minutes. You can also buy hot peel film on rolls. That's another tip, I print on 30cm rolls using third party software, no messing about feeding sheets in. Just print, slit and cure. You should have stuck it out and fine tuned your workflow.

@mrs.quills7061 Жыл бұрын

I think you did, the time it takes to set up and the hours you spend isn’t worth it. I think if you were a business that did that for other people okay, but you’re running a shop with other goods and a KZfaq. Sure the prints come out good and you have more control, but then you can’t have more quantity and charge people a reasonable amount for them.

@rabsrealm Жыл бұрын

@@beth6085 DTG is dreadful and they barely last a few washes. The garment also needs to be pre-treated and cured before you can print on them then pressed again to seal. Done properly, you can barely feel a DTF transfer on the garment.

One thing that I appreciate about you, Catherine, and one of the reasons I always return to your videos is your transparency. You have an incredibly successful business and you show all the dreamy ups of it (coffee dates, vacations, hiring family, your beautiful studio views), but you also show us when you muck up, or when things don't turn out how you had planned. As an artist I appreciate that so so much. It's encouraging to see a successful artist make mistakes to remind us little artists that it happens, and you can take on losses from it, but you can learn from it too. Thanks for being real.

@mrs.quills7061 Жыл бұрын

I’ve really been enjoying your transparency about your business in these last few vlogs. It helps me with my shop and validate that my own “failures” or mistakes are okay. I don’t see this as a failure, you tried and hey maybe a viewer would want to try something like that. It was cool regardless because I didn’t know that’s how they make shirts and such! Glad to see you found an easier solution, and you’re supporting another business this way. Work smarter, not harder! I felt the same way when I was hand making glass pins and bookmarks… it stopped being fun and took me too much time. My prints and cards are fairly easy, but everything else is such a process! Also, may I ask what cricut printers you have? I’ve been wanting one, but I got spooked by some bad reviews. People say the calibration can be off and their software has a subscription now? I just want to be able to make more and better stickers rather than outsource them.

@KatnippStudios Жыл бұрын

Yes circuits are hit and miss if I’m being totally honest, a lot more sticker shops use a silhouette or the new silhouette pro, but I have had these for years andalthough we have to calibrate them they still work! And they have been a great investment in my business especially when I began selling stickers! I still use my original circuit you can see on my shelves heheh also the silhouette also has a paid platform I believe but I can’t be 100% sure on that ❤❤ thank you so so much for watching you da best ❤️😍😍😍😍

You are a wise business lady. That print process was labor intensive. Salaries can be the highest business cost. And I could see the printer was slow, then you had all the maintenance every morning to keep it tip top. I had a similar experience with a pro design jet printer - we gave up on it.

@kbunny123 Жыл бұрын

Sorry the dtf printer didn’t work. If you are still interested in doing totes in house, you should look into pigment ink. Its a cheaper alternative and it allows you to print on vinyl/make your own heat transfers. And pigment ink can be used with an eco tank (just like the sublimation ink). Just fill the printer tanks, print, trim and heat press. I hope this helps💖

@curicuri218 Жыл бұрын

Maybe you can buy transfers from another small business! I know many indie sellers buy transfers to press onto their products instead of printing it themselves. Saves them from having to invest and maintain a printer! Examples of some companies in the US are Howard Custom Transfers, 613 Originals, FM Expressions, Versatranz, and Supacolor. I'm sure there are many companies like these where you live too!

It’s disappointing that the DTF printer didn’t work out, the output was beautiful, but I think I would have done the same thing. It seems like you’d need to have a person dedicated to just printing and producing that stuff who could do it in batches or whatever to really make it worth the investment. Hopefully the new transfers come in just as beautiful! I’ve wanted to order transfers of my work but there are so many printers out there.
