Are you ready to take your printing game to the next level? In this video, we're going to show you how to create some seriously cool designs using direct-to-film (DTF) printing with an inkjet printer.
We'll cover everything from DTF transfers as a method of sublimation on cotton t-shirts, to using DTF powder to save you money! You'll get to see the entire process of creating DTF transfers with an inkjet printer, and we'll show you why we love this technique so much and how it can save you money on buying an expensive Sawgrass Printer. Plus, we'll give you the inside scoop on how DTF printing stacks up against other methods like sublimation.
But wait, there's more! We'll also share our top tips for making the perfect DTF transfer and show you how to get the most vibrant prints possible. And to really put our prints to the test, we'll wash them on a T-shirt and see how they hold up!
So grab your popcorn and get ready for some serious printing fun. Whether you're a pro or a beginner, we promise you'll learn something new and have a blast while doing it. Let's get printing! And don't forget to check out Design Bundles for even more great design resources. Don't miss out on this opportunity to take your printing game to the next level!

@jootb 9 ай бұрын

My husband has been in the print shop business 15 plus years. His company has been in business for over 75 years. And I asked him why does black ink stay on fabric better? Black ink, particularly in the context of printing or writing on fabric, often appears to stay on fabric better due to a combination of factors: 1. Black ink usually contains a higher concentration of pigments compared to other colors. Pigments are the color particles suspended in the ink. A higher pigment concentration means that more pigment particles are deposited on the fabric, leading to a more intense and longer-lasting color. 2. : Black is an inherently dark and opaque color. It covers the underlying fabric more effectively, which can help hide the color of the fabric itself and any patterns or textures that might be present. This can give the impression that the black ink is "staying on" the fabric better. 3. : Black absorbs a wide spectrum of light, including ultraviolet (UV) light. UV light can degrade pigments and dyes over time, leading to fading. Since black absorbs a broad range of light, it is less susceptible to UV-related fading, making it appear more stable and long-lasting. 4. : The contrast between black ink and most fabric colors is quite high. This contrast makes the black ink appear more visually prominent and less affected by any fading or wear that might occur over time. 5. : Our eyes are more forgiving when it comes to imperfections in dark colors. Fading, smudging, or slight changes in shade are less noticeable in black ink compared to lighter or more vibrant colors. It's important to note that the perceived "better staying" of black ink on fabric is partly due to human perception and the characteristics of the color black. Other colors might exhibit similar longevity if they have high pigment concentration, opacity, and resistance to fading. However, the longevity of any ink or dye on fabric is also influenced by factors such as the quality of the ink, the fabric's material and preparation, the printing or dyeing method used, exposure to light and environmental conditions, and how well the fabric is cared for (washing, ironing, etc.).

@amberlindsey7112 9 ай бұрын

I just watched a video from a company that sells the DTF and DTG machines. He said when you press for a second time it will push that ink down in the fibers for longer lasting effect but it fade the colors.

@KateBurns923 Жыл бұрын

The double cure/powder with a second press works amazing with sublimation ink. I think most of this is based on the inkjet ink being used. The colored ink with inkjet inks are dye-based whereas the black is pigment based. Dye-based are impacted by water where as pigment based ink isn’t. The reason sublimation ink doesn’t fade/washout with the dtf hack is because the dtf powder is a poly based powder that’s curing and adhering to the shirt for the sublimation ink.

Hey there, great video! I don't know if it's been mentioned, or if you have possibly given it a previous whirl, but I would give adding in "Bubble Jet Set" a try if you haven't already. You treat your fabric with it prior to printing, and it locks in the colors and greatly improves the wash fastness of inkjet inks. It's generally used to print directly onto fabrics using an inkjet. But, I am thinking it would provide your fabric with the improved wash fastness still, while just skipping printing directly to the fabric, and replacing it with heat pressing your printed transfer. I am curious if the applied heat and pressure during press will somehow degrade the effect the bubble jet set has on the fabric and inks, but, I don't think so! :)

A total cure is longer under the heat. Up to 3-5 minutes. You can even use a heat gun. Printing a photo will print slower than a regular print selection. So, selecting glossy photo paper will take longer, but the print has more saturation.

I looked on Canon's website and this printer model appears to have pigment ink for the black. I believe the color cartridge is the water based dye ink. I think that is why your black washed so well. I have 2 Canon printers and one of them has both a pigment black and dye black and my photo pro has all dye inks. The pigment black is intended to be used in printing documents to keep a nice crisp black for text. My photo pro printer is not intended for printing documents (even though you could) so it does not have the pigment black. I think the pigment has a tendency to clog worse than the water based dyes though, so I have never bought a full pigment printer. Thanks for all your testing! I do that myself and it gets costly and time consuming!

Also changing the quality from normal to best will use more ink and take more time but prints photo quality at higher dpi on the canon printers and helps remove line streaks in between passes of the printheads.

I tried it with my easy press and I had the same problem. I think it was a result of uneven pressure with the heat. Maybe your heat press has a slight dip in that corner. Mine was in a different spot than yours. And then I tried it on another shirt and the same thing happened again in another area where I guess it wasn't getting even pressure. A different time when I was making another shirt, I was hovering the easy press over the film, it curled up on the edge but I didn't notice it the first time and it accidentally touched my easy press and got some of the powder solidified on the press. I was able to wipe it off while it was still hot with a large wad of paper towel. I did go ahead and press the shirt to see what would happen and the color didn't show up in that area. Not sure if any of this info will be helpful... Thanks for your videos I really enjoy watching you!

I love your video's you are so down to earth, like one of us. But I have a question I print my designs out on a HP Deskjet printer I put the DTF powder on heat it as said but when I try putting the transfer on a shirt it either don't come off at all or only part of it seem to transfer. I have not had 1 transfer come off as smoothly as yours could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi Charlotte! That sounds like you may not be using enough heat or pressure! - Dawn

AWESOME I've never heard of DTF before. I'm assuming since you said to hover the Cricut press over top then there's probably no way to do this with the Cricut mini press? Thanks for sharing!

Hi Sue! Use what you have! Try using a regular iron to cure because it's larger than the mini press! - Dawn

How do you get the color white with the inkjet and or inkjet converted to sublimation printer?

Was it the second coating of transfer powder or the second pressing that cause the color to fade on the first shirt?

Can we do these same steps on dark color or will the white powder show on the dark?

The print setting you used, did you use normal or high? Thanks

I think you need to try rotating the dtf sheet under you platen after the first curing...it kind of looks like your press has uneven temps and rotating the sheet could make up for that.
