Sorry, we use our own proprietary formulas for inks and film to ensure consistent quality with the unreliable supply chains that are a challenge in the DTF printing industry. We ensure our customers only receive a quality product that they can count on being consistent in application and print quality from order to order. We appreciate the offer though.

Thanks, we're always happy to help out! Are you looking into hat heat presses or currently decorating hats?

Thank you for the kind words, we're so happy we could help out! Dave spent a lot of time testing different halftone methods and settings along with the wash testing with our Research and Development department for the minimum line requirements to ensure quality results before filming this video. With the dots set to the minimum size mentioned in the video (0.018") you should have the exact same durability as a solid print.

Absolutely! While Hotronix Heat Presses are definitely our favorite to use, you can use any heat press with adjustable pressure to apply our heat transfers. We'd love to send you free samples to try on your press, we'll even cover shipping: www.transferexpress.com/marketing-tools/free-samples

You're very welcome! We're always happy to help out in anyway we can!

Hi There! Thanks for tuning in. Are you using any AI art programs currently?

Yes, our goof proof screen printed transfers can apply to cotton, polyester & cotton/poly blended shirts on any fabric color. Learn more and get free samples here: www.transferexpress.com/heat-applied-transfers/goof-proof-screen-printed-transfers For best results, we don’t recommend applying with an iron. You’ll need a heat press to be able to achieve the accurate temperature, time and pressure settings for a professional printed result.

Thanks for the kind words Kurt! We're always happy to help

While we do have plain paper cover sheets that we used in this video available ( www.transferexpress.com/heat-press-accessories/cover-sheets ) We do not currently sell unprinted carrier paper.

Welcome! We're always happy to help in any way we can. It all starts with just a heat press! We have hours of extended education and heat printing tips and tricks to help here, as well as on our blog too: blog.transferexpress.com/ Any specific questions? Just drop them here and we'll get you on your way to success!

Thanks for the kinds words Lou, we're happy to help in anyway we can!

@@transferexpress Of course! I’ve learned so much from this channel and will continue to learn more, so thanks for sharing.

Fantastic question! To help out the best, we would need to know a little bit more about what you're looking to achieve in the next step of your business. Do you need immediate turnaround on printing projects? Is quality important to your customers? What are the typical quantities you're producing? Do you already have a heat press? We've seen many small and at-home businesses take on too much financial risk with at-home printers and setups that are a challenge to maintain and struggle to produce professional quality results. While sublimation printers are some of the most affordable, you're limited to only polyester garments and light colored fabrics. Direct To Garment printers are limited to 100% cotton and can be expensive to maintain. Of course with at-home DTF printers you have the versatility of printing on any fabric or color but lower cost machines struggle with quality that may lose customers and inconsistent supply chains, as well as maintenance issues similar to DTG printers. Without proper ventilation and exhaust systems you may be introducing harmful chemicals to your workspace. The white toner printers have a time consuming process that is not the best fit for higher-quantity work and get costly with supplies and materials. While still utilizing your cricut and HTV for smaller jobs you can purchase custom transfers in a variety of finishes or features (screen print / direct to film / etc) which can give you the flexibility for any quantity, any fabric, any finish while maximizing your profitability and financial risk. We see most decorators find success with this method expanding from a hobby or limited in-house capabilities that match the quality of what the larger, national print shops are offering. A great example is this video which would describe the process to expand your capabilities to offer something like screen printed finishes with the equipment you already have and maximize your profit while still operating on a very lean business model: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7aSfbSSlZnFaaM.html You can also learn more about some of the heat transfer types you can utilize (and get free samples) just by creating an account here: www.transferexpress.com/marketing-tools/free-samples

Thanks Janice! We totally missed getting the link in the description, here it is: www.transferexpress.com/choose-heat-transfer-type

Yep! It’s a blank mousepad made for sublimation- with the polyester layer on top. Try to avoid any colored or printed mousepads as the inks may transfer to your garment under heat and pressure. We have blanks available for $3 each here: www.transferexpress.com/heat-press-accessories/mouse-pads

@@transferexpress Thank you! That's an awesome idea!

Not at all! Our goof proof screen printed transfers feel like a soft-hand screen printed shirt. While you can feel the ink, it’s matte, smooth and flexible and sits down into the fibers of the shirt (so you’ll see the texture of the fabric in the print) We’d love for you to see it in real life: You can request free sample to try yourself at www.transferexpress.com/marketing-tools/free-samples

Unfortunately we’re currently only shipping to the US, Canada and select Caribbean islands. What country are you in? We have STAHLS locations across the globe that can likely help with the same services and products we have available

@@transferexpress Hello, thank you for replying to my message, I'm in Portugal, but I also wanted to use your website to create drawings, but I can't register, unfortunately, I hope that one day you can also send them to Europe

Great catch, it was actually just a typo when we were filming the video, the per piece rate is correct at $8.81 ($396/ 45) buuuut, that’s why you double check your math to ensure you’re profiting!

Thank you for the kind words Luis! We’re always happy to help in any way we can!

Howdy!

Our hot split transfers are pretty nifty, however we only ship to the US, Canada and select Caribbean islands. Check out stahlsasia.com for decorating solutions in India!

That comparison at 9:30 in this video the DTF print is on the left. It’s slightly clearer as the ink doesn’t spread when pressed like how Screen Printed Transfers do. While it is minimal, those very small logos and type are clearer. Screen print transfers to sit down in the fibers of the shirt more (like traditional screen printing) so the texture of the shirt can be seen as well. We have all of the minimum like requirements as well as negative space (show through) minimums here: www.transferexpress.com/videos/line-thickness-tool-and-print-minimums

Absolutely! We’re so happy we could help out!

Unfortunately, all of the comfort colors and similar garments (like the Port & Company PC099) that are readily available are only sold with the sewn in labels.

We sure do appreciate the kind words, and we're always happy to help out apparel decorators in any way we can! Unfortunately, currently we don't ship outside the US, Canada and select Caribbean Islands- BUT, we do have some STAHLS' divisions in Europe ( stahlseurope.com/ )and The UK ( www.stahls.co.uk/ ) with very similar heat transfers and the identical equipment we have here at STAHLS' Transfer Express.

Great question! The Tag Along HP Platen is one of the optional quick change platens available for Hotronix Heat Presses. It fits any full size (16 x 20") Hotronix Heat Press manufactured after 2014 (when the quick change system was introduced) You can learn more how it's used in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLeRdtqhxqm1d6s.htmlsi=wVrzZlPjdVldyg0t or learn more on our website: www.transferexpress.com/heat-press-accessories/tag-along-hp

Fantastic question! Depending on the colors in the design, I typically will reserve HTV for one-offs or for quantities 12 and under with single color, simple artwork (although I’ve even used screen printed transfers for orders as low as 6 (intricate and large prints with a left chest print on the same gang sheet) With the affordability of custom DTF transfers (outside of the colors of vinyl you don’t have stocked) I typically will use them even for those low quantity orders. Of course for specialty fabrics (nylon, etc) HTV may be a better choice. For many, it comes down to time, if you have the time to weed and cut, 100% maximize the profit on the order with HTV! Especially if you already have the equipment. If you’re pressed on the hours in your day, simplify with screen print transfers (perfect for when a client wants that plastisol print look & feel) or DTF.

Great question! If you're ordering a screen printed transfer and have it selected as 1 color of ink, our team will remove the background for you. For ordering UltraColor Max Direct To Film Transfers we require the files to be print ready, so the background will need to be removed.

Great Question! This print ended up being 12.2" wide by 15" - While we didn't mention it, you can see the sizing details noted in the left hand side during that proofing step before ordering. Any print size 11" or larger will look great on any adult size t-shirt.

Absolutely! We're always happy to help out 😁

Thanks, we're always happy to help in any way we can, Have you checked out stahls.co.uk? You'll find many of the same decorating solutions and heat presses that you'll find with us!

While water based screen printing ink does give you the softest hand feel you may be surprised by the hand feel of screen printed transfers like these goof proof transfers or the screen printed transfers from stahls.co.uk. We have offered water-based transfers in the past, and they're fantastic, however they are quite a bit more cost than typical screen printing. The big benefit of waterbased transfers is the adhesives to print on the tricky synthetic fabrics like spandex and nylon

Absolutely! Most fitted table cloths are 100% polyester. In low quantities or large images (up to 22 x 24"), UltraColor Max Direct to film transfers will give you the best result and the lowest print cost. Win win!

Thanks Sha! We tried to make it simple to follow for everyone, not just photoshop pros. With how incredible the results are with DTF it's too cool not to share.

@@transferexpress Yes indeed. Half tone is the game changer in DTF. Solves all the problems the usual suspects complain about.

It sure does, and the ability to have all the detail printing within the dot is really great. You just BARELY feel the print on this, and while our UltraColor Max transfers are light and don't have that "crunch" other DTF transfers do, halftoned here they're just next level.

Fantastic suggestion! We'll get it added to the list

These Tees were both printed on the American Apparel 1301 Tees, We do sell them as well: www.transferexpress.com/apparel/item?id=1301 (you may need to login/create an account to see pricing)

Great question! These are soft and matte to the touch and kind of sit down in the fibers of the t-shirt, we have a great detail shot of one of our Goof Proof Screen Prints here: kzfaq.infoUgkxYEWhO36k65LkgAqpZ6PlQ3KinsLNVxIk We'd love to send you samples to try yourself, request yours here (No card required and we'll even cover shipping): www.transferexpress.com/marketing-tools/free-samples

Thanks! So happy we would help out. I've (Dave) been having way too much fun in prep for this video with bootleg tees- I don't know if its just the 90's nostalgia or the creating unique compositions, or just big full vibrant prints... but the bootleg tees are AWESOME for sure! What markets are you doing them for? Music? Sports?

@@transferexpress Yes all the above for me. Love the process. can't say I have a market yet. Still very small in my business journey, family & myself I've made em for so far. Just perfecting how to make em & testing wearing em out to see if I get any compliments & then ill know what to sell. Movie characters, some sports players & some music artists I've done so far. Keep the great vids coming !

You've got the right strategy, it all starts with that first spark. Keep it up! We'd love to see what you're working on- Join our private group: Heat Press For Profit™ | Sponsored by Stahls' on facebook and give us a peek, you'll find a community of decorators there that can help inspire new ideas and markets too!

Yes, in some images you may have to remove any elements that halftone outside of the main image area, but in many cases you can adjust how the bitmap halftone looks based on the levels like we show at 07:44 in this video. Even if the background may appear black, it might be a dark grey and pull a halftone pattern over all of it.

Thanks Ray! Always happy to help out decorators in any way I can, this definitely takes DTF printing to then next level, you have to feel these prints to believe it

This process is called Heat Printing, or Heat Applied Products- Essentially using a heat press to print custom apparel. It's great because you can have the benefits and capabilities of many different printing methods like screen printing, digital printing and dimensional decorating like embroidery with just one, easy-to-use piece of equipment: a heat press.

Thanks, and it sure is! The finished feel of these shirts is absolutely incredible too- for these large oversized prints to be so soft on the t-shirt makes them feel premium and incredibly wearable.

Thanks Nesiah! Since copyright and intellectual property gets a little lengthy, we actually have a full webinar about copyrights and licensed logos here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etuXrKh7sc6WkaM.htmlsi=0nBMWE0thiOr7-PQ While getting licenses can be cost-prohibitive to most decorators to do things legally, we cover some alternative routes to staying clear from trouble with Disney, Major Sports teams and the NCAA.

Thanks

Sure thing! Always happy to help

Great question! Whenever printing names, it's best to lock all of them to a common height, as the length of names change based on the amount of characters. Choosing the right font can really help too and make it look more impactful constrained by the smaller print location of a sleeve, and the height of your text will vary based on what you choose. There's a few things you can do: 1. Set the longest name to 3" wide and find the height and keep all other names to the same height. 2. Lock the height to something around 0.5"-.75" high (depending on the font and longest name) and condense any name that is wider than 3" 3. Use our team builder in our Easy View Online Designer and set the max width to 3" (you dont need to add a full layout, you can add just text) it will automatically condense longer text as needed as well as the ability to easily select different fonts to see which one looks best for your project. You can see Team Builder in action here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m52TeNua1pa-gXU.html

@@transferexpress Thank you. So, is the recommended max height 0.75”? I wasn’t sure if anything smaller than 1-1.5” would be too small.

It really depends on the font and the longest name you have on the roster, unless you condense it to fit
