HOW TO MAKE A GRAPHIC TEE WITH THE DTF SUBLIMATION HACK | SUBLIMATION ON 100% COTTON

[@marlettamcclain1950]

I think Porcha did a great job with her tutorial. The negative comments are BS. The hack works IF done correctly. You’re gonna make a mistake or two as you’re learning a new process. If you’re not sure about a technique then practice on fabric rather than t-shirts.

[@ColorMePorcha]

Thanks Marletta!

[@laurie4]

Good, easy to follow video. It’s short and to the point! Most people talk forever to get to the point 🤣🤦‍♀️. Thank you so much and your product is darling!!

Looks great thanks can it also be used on black canvas shirts? Thank you

[@ColorMePorcha]

Thanks! No, I learned the hard way. This hack uses sublimation ink, which works best on white or light colors.

[@hollisrichardson-barajas1247]

[@zarasjourney6627]

Thanks for the video. Silly question, did you put the tape on the glossy side as not to touch the ink?

[@ColorMePorcha]

Not a silly question, but yes that's the reason

How do you stop the blacks dots that appeared on the print?

[@dexterwharton6062]

Befroe the heat press will the glossy side be face up?

[@ColorMePorcha]

We print on the matte side, glossy side is the back

How well do the colors hold up after multiple washings?

[@michele13447]

hi what do i do when my prints comes out with roller strikes from the image ink

[@luv2sew247]

Hi Porcha, I am so glad I found you. You did such a wonderful demonstration and I will be purchasing some DTF powder to try it out very soon. I wish KZbin would add the share images feature so that I can show you the finished product. Have a great day.

[@ColorMePorcha]

Thanks, best wishes ✨️

[@JPerryHexham]

Hi Portia could i do this on a pink shirt or would i need white htv behind it x

[@ColorMePorcha]

Yes, you could. Because we're using sublimation ink, the same rules apply. Sublimation Ink works best on white and next light colors. So a lighter pink should work.

[@Willo_1647]

Hi Porcha, I was always told not to use sub ink with dtf!! So glad you did this just to show it can be done 😊

[@HOOPSnCATS]

Hi Porcha!! I've been watching your videos for a little while now and I love them. they are very easy to understand and you get right to the point. and I have to say you are quite creative as I love the designs you create in Canva. I have a question for you - I converted my Epson printer to a sublimation printer. I noticed that your colors are incredibly vibrant and they pop! May I ask, do you have a converted printer or a printer for sublimation? If it is converted, would you share your printer settings or guide me to where I can find them? I even got the ICC code from Printers Jack (the ink I use), and my reds are still to orangy. I've tried everything....... I'm wondering if I need to bite the bullet and get a sublimation printer?......😝. TIA!!!😊

[@shantefrancis2371]

Please do a video on adding the texting canva?

[@cordeliadaniels]

Hi Porcha! New subbie here. After watching this video and others, I decided to try this hack out. You seem to get some really great results. After much trial and error, adjusting cure temp and time, press temp and time, multiple times, I just can't seem to get there. My images are coming out grainy looking and/or cracking. I thought the powder wasn't melted all the way so I adjusted the temp and time for that. Didn't work. I followed the instructions to the letter that came with the Yamation kit, no luck there either. I am using the HTVRont auto heat press to cure and press. The platen on that press is about 2 inches from the press mat so I increased the temp and time for curing to make sure the powder was completely melted. And it was! Images still coming out bad. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? I am using 100% cotton to test on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[@scuevas1023]

Hello , can you please share your printer settings to avoid any printing streaks?

[@ColorMePorcha]

Hi Sandra! I can share my settings but I still get those "pizza wheels" because it's a hack and we're not using an actual DTF printer, it's a cause and effect type thing. I have read that you can move the wheels on your ink jet printer, but that seems tedious to me. What I do instead is use a Q-Tip to "erase" the marks. I don't have to do this with every print but when I do I've found the Q-Tip to be the most effective. Best wishes ✨

I let my heat source hover as close as possible with out touching the image at 320° for 90 seconds; Depending on how large your image is and how close the heat source is you may need more time. Also be sure to press twice and peel cold both steps are important. Best wishes ✨
