Sorry I did not add that this is with inkjet ink on the dtf film and powder and everything has worked amazing with no fading

[@jootb]

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.).

[@Yoo_suk_eh7262]

Ma'am please reply I really need your help....what ink did u use for printing...is it water base or other ink...

[@amberlindsey7112]

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.

[@KateB2309]

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.

[@DesignBundles]

Good point Kate!

[@lyndabryant7390]

I absolutely agree! Also, is she washing in cold or hot to warm water? That makes a huge difference in anything.

[@KateB2309]

@@wendyleebarrett5652 I go into my extended maintenance menu on my computers printer settings and change it to “thick paper/envelope”. It raises the rollers just enough where I don’t have a problem.

[@customtshirtboutique]

I'm not sure if I missed it but I believe it worked so good for you with black ink is because the printer you are using uses black pigment ink (water resistant) and the other 3 colors are dye inks. Great video as always!

[@runaroundsueaccessibletrav6357]

That's a good point and I was wondering the same

[@DesignBundles]

[@DesignBundles]

Hi Denise! Yes, you are correct! We did some further research to find out what could cause the difference and it's the pigment black ink. - Dawn

[@Now-YouKnow]

This is the exact reason the black is pigment and the colors are Dye so we need to try it with full pigment ink jet printer

[@emilyhellwig213]

Is there an easy way to tell if your printer uses pigment ink or dye ink?

[@gadgetgal1000]

If you use a Cricut press put the dtf under a baking rack then set the press on that .Saves your arm.

That was amazing! Crystal Ann, don't take this the wrong way, but you're going to pass out if you don't pause to breathe!😅😅 Those tests were shocking. I would have bet money that the shirt with the extra work was going to be more bright and vivid. WRONG! As the saying goes, "sometimes, less is more). Thank so much for your never ending energy.

I agree. My mind was scrambled. It was too much too fast to even think about what is being said.

[@annmarchant556]

Great revisit tutorial, I've tried all three options (inkjet, Sublimation and DTF Ink) and found the weakest was the sublimation ink, the standard ink jet and DTF ink in a sublimation printer worked like a dream. No need for double application of powder and both results were the same when pre-cured and not pre cured. Thanks for revisiting this, loving your work :)

[@shalaneroeske1963]

[@shalaneroeske1963]

Thank you Anna I will have to look into their products!!!

[@cmbpos2491]

From your video demonstration, I think that the reason the black was a success was because the Canon printer is a hybrid inkjet printer that uses pigment ink for black and Dye based ink for color. My observable conclusion is that pigment ink is better for the hack.

[@clemonscrafts]

This is the first time I've ever seen this! Wow! I have so many ideas and things I could print and apply to shirts for gifts! Thank you so very much!!!! Great work!

[@uabish5314]

Thanks for trying different ways of pressing. Good video

[@k_pufflz]

I know this is an older video but it’d be cool to print the entire color spectrum (like the color picker in photoshop) and see where the colors fade/if certain colors fade more than others

[@rosalindalozano233]

I have never cured the powder and my images come out perfectly crisp and beautiful. 🐰 I did notice that when it's time to peel it off, there are glue lines around the image and when you do a quick 5 sec press, it smooths out the glue to more seamless...

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you for sharing, Rosalinda! - Dawn

[@SandraBettsArt]

I'm new to this and this may sound silly but I have a quick question. When yiu do the 5 second press, is that after you have peeled off the image or is it while you still have the paper on the shirt and you just loft the heat away, give it a moment, and then reheat it THEN remove the paper you printed on? I hope that makes sense...🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@rosalindalozano233]

Sandra, yes, I do it after I've revealed the pressed image. Be sure to cover it with a Teflon sheet.

[@peggykrause5577]

I tried this with my inkjet that uses all pigment ink: Canon GX5020. It still looks great after a wash cycle.

[@EmmilieRoseBoutique]

Did your printer originally use this or did you convert it to use this type of ink?

[@Abasinphq]

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.

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you, Dianna! Another viewer had suggested the longer cure time as well! - Dawn

[@user-pz1ve1jb5s]

Yes definitely works on Pigment ink but not on dye ink. Used to print on 3g Opaque transfers with Cobra pigment ink and it worked and lasted after several washes until I switched to vinyl.

[@Crystalnachi]

I caught a glimpse of a video of a guy doing the dtf hack and now I can't find it for the life of me. The twist is that he used a common product and says that the dtf works better with this product. He did the hack and mentioned Delonda but pressed in the powder, cured and then coated and cured again. He then sprayed the dtf film after curing with spray starch and also added some to the shirt and then pressed. He said that it was soft and washed perfectly with no loss of colors. I wanted to try this but I could not find the video again. I may need to try this and do the wash test for myself.

[@monkeywenchPBP]

If you find that video again, please reply! :)

[@user-xo4dq4db3w]

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!

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! :)

[@mariad3465]

Great idea!! I am definitely going to try to make myself a tshirt with this technique. Thank you so much.

[@ginnynewman317]

The difference is pigment ink vs dye ink. If you fill your printer with pigment ink and retest. Regular inkjet ink is dye based and not wash friendly. Pigment ink is archival, doesn't run in water, and UV resistant. If you retest with all pigment ink, bet you keep really good colors.

[@veronicafatura6317]

Is there a pigment ink option for the Epson ecotank 2800? Thanks

[@thecrypticthecross]

​@@veronicafatura6317I have the same printer. Did you have success using pigment ink in yours

[@JamieTresor]

Love the video! But I think using the glossy was the problem. Glossy paper needs LESS ink because it does not “soak” in to the paper it rests on the top. So on auto, it is thinking its regular paper and needs more ink to create a vivid color. …ERGO putting more ink on the film will have more ink to soak into the t-shirt. JMHO

Interested to see how you figure out the wheel area on your printer!thanks for the time trying different techniques😊

[@siobhankathleen4892]

Interesting. I've never had a problem with colors bleeding out on my printable HTV, and my shirts get washed repeatedly. Not sure why you were having trouble with it, but thanks for this video. I thought about switching to DTF, but after those results...I think I'll just stick to my HTV.😁

[@shavonwalker2550]

You know what, right after I posted this, I washed and heat dried my newest shirt decorated with Siser DTV for the first time. The colors stayed bright, but it wrinkled right up, just like yours did. That had never happened before. I put it on a hanger, thinking I'd press everything out, and forgot about it for a couple of days. When I remembered to check the shirt again, all of the wrinkles were gone! So maybe check the shirt in a few days and see how it looks?

[@emilyn609]

Can you do a test where you screen print a white solid shape of an image (to use as an underbase) and then do the DTF Sublimation hack over the white screen print? I'm so curious to see if that would work. I know you can just get a speedball frame and apply a vinyl stencil over the screen and squeegee the ink through (so no need for emulsion or chemicals)

[@MsLori1973]

Try it withput the powder. The powders for sublimation u said. which I've never been told to buy. So if you're using ink jet. Do it without the powder. Maybe it reacts differently

[@LindaBuettner-ho1ii]

Check your heat press upper platen to make sure it’s flat. You can use a level to test it. If it’s even then you will need more pressure.

[@melissawhiddon8988]

Is the yellowing due to actual ink bleed or slight scorching? The second press with actual DTF inks is usually much shorter, 5-10 seconds after peeling with Teflon or butcher paper to prevent burning the transfer.

[@paulinavelasquez310]

[@pcs9518]

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. Laser printers are more of a dry wax like powder that is heat fused to the material I don’t think it would be wet at all after it comes out.

I would still with cotton t-shirts either use clear htv or use a poly spray then use your method. The transfer powder with inkjet ink is absorbing into the powder vs transferring on top of the powder if that sounds right. So either way inkjet you're going to lose color when washing unless top and bottom is is sealing in the ink.

Have you tried drying the shirts in the dryer first to set in the inks? Kinda like how they say if you dry something with a stain it sets it in... 🤷‍♀️. Then proceed with washing and drying like normal. When tie dying fabric, I've found that if I dry the fabrics first then wash, the colors are much more vibrant. More of the dyes absorb into the fabric than if I wash first.

[@HassanAhmed-om8op]

@DesignBundles - higher "Print Quality" or DPI might help as the print area would be more saturated (less white space between the dots). Mathematically, 600 vs 300 (default) dpi is 4X more ink (in the same space). 1200 vs 300 DPI is 16X. If the wash issue is "loss of dots or pigment" and not all "fading," this might help. Less red pigment (more white ratio) becomes pink, etc... Just a thought.

[@toniaterwilliger923]

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!

Hiya , great video and I learnt so much. I'm totally new to all of this and really excited about our new adventure. As I say I'm a total noob but I am curious to know if it would be possible and worth it to print a second time. To treat the first print as a priming or base coat and then placing a fresh print over it. Also I'm a bit surprised that there isn't a go to protective vinyl or spray designed for this purpose. I realize that a method like this would treble the cost of materials but if it's the quality of the end product that counts then surely it's worth it?

[@KarolinaMiskiewicz]

my guess why black ink did hold up better is because, most inkjet printers black is actually pigment ink, while rest is dye inks, so if you had all pigment inkjet [probably professional photo printer] then you would have a greater success with colours holding ;) it's just my theory though. So when you said a solid colour that is NOT black would stay i don't think it would be the case, simply because that would use the dye based inks in printers vs black pigment ink. Again just my theory, after researching printers for last 2 months in search for a sticker printer XD

[@luckylinda7777]

Be sure it’s printing on the correct side. On glossy DTF film the print side is more of a matte finish for ink to absorb and adhere to.

[@irenezielinski2985]

Hello Crystal, I just watched your KZbin video today on the DTF inkjet sublimation and I had noticed that you was using cotton T-shirts. I’m just wondering if it would work better on 100% polyester. Cause I’ve been hearing that when you do sublimation on fabric that is 100% polyester it works better than 100% cotton. Something about the polyester holds the colors a lot better for whatever reason. So, if you do another video again do the same steps like you did in this video and see what kind of results you get the next time. Love your videos you put out. Thanks

[@imaspecialgirllalala]

I know this is late but could you try a light/white design on a dark T-shirt with the inkjet? Black looks great but I wonder if the opposite would be the same!

I’d love to see a colorful design on a colored shirt

Thanks fast perfect not boring I appreciate❤

Hello my name is Tim Davis and i do T-Shirts also have you tried putting a piece of butcher paper or parchment paper inside the shirt to keep the design from bleeding through.

I think it was the setting of the printer when you choose auto the color are more vibrant

You could try a higher ink setting instead of normal maybe one higher

Just had this idea pop in my head for some reason. What if you spray it with a water guard protectant and let it set, then put it in the washer. In my mind it would protect the colors from fading in the washing machine. Just an idea I'v never done sublimation which is why i'm watching this very informative video on using an ink jet printer good thing for me is you are using the same exact printer i have yah!!!

That's a great idea! We would love to give that a try! - Dawn

I know this video is old now but I was wondering if you can use either dtf or normal heat transfer vinyl on fully cured epoxy resin or a wooden box?
