You are so dedicated to us crafters and I hope you realize it is so appreciated. I have learned so much from your videos and your enthusiasm is contagious lol Thank you!!

[@kathleenbrown9785]

Yes Crystal Ann please show us the white ink. I just bought this printer!!!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

[@LovesHerEagles]

Yes! Glitter added would be great to see

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Yay! I agree glitter has to be tested

[@marcyb123123]

Parchment works great for me! Epson printer. No taping. Just one at a time though. Worth it cuz the transfers cost Pennies versus almost $1. Some roller marks but I cut them off or scrape area before transfer. Still cost benefit for couple seconds of proofing

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@susanwolf7703]

Yes please mix glitter in the powder. Love to see if it works

Omg 😢 crystal I am doing shirts for my uncles funeral and doing them with the dtf hack and inkjet printer since they won’t be washed but the photo we’re using has white clouds and he has white wings 😭 We’re printing on a baby blue shirt. Omg I’m just so scared of all the things that can go wrong 😑 help

[@tammyallen1125]

When converting the ET-8500, do we use sublimation ink for all colors, except the white or do we have to use DTF ink for all of the colors? If this tutorial already exists, please share the link here for it. Thank you so much. You're an awesome instructor.

[@MargaretPye-s7g]

Love how you covered a lot of topics. This video is not for a beginner, but has a ton of information to help clarify some of the difference. Never thought of mixing actual glitter with the DTF powder, that might be interesting. I do have another question, can you use the DTF on ceramic or acrylic?

[@giggle_in_sc9551]

You know I admire what you do - so I have a question - I did the DTF hack with the paper and powder in your videos - it cam out sooooooo great - however when we washed it - it wrinkled up and one part almost came off completely - I have sawgrass 500 and I cured it first - what did I do wrong? Also - expert opinion please - I have a black/white/orange design my teacher friends want on a graphite gray shirt - would you screen print, htv or sublimate hack? Thanks for always being there for us!!!!!!

[@amberlindsey7112]

Nothing scares me anymore lol. I was ordering vinyl gloves online and there was the warning they can't be shipped to California. I just don't care anymore lol (*sarcasm) I have to tell my 9 yr old grandson all the time to not believe everything they watch online! Definitely do your research with everything! Don't just believe what others say. Some people can also be sensitive to something you are not and won't affect you the same. I am grateful for this video. I just recently bought some powder after watching all of your videos. I love all the info basically updated to this video The info about the white ink is interesting. I have actually thought about getting a second printer to be able to use the white ink. Glad to know I was thinking along the lines of something that could be and has been done.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I'm over it as well I to agree I feel like everything now has that warning it's ridiculous! Yes do your research just because one person says no does not make it true. So glad you found this helpful the DTF has been such a fun adventure so far I can't wait to try out white ink 🥳 oh the possibilities

[@4myfavoritethings]

Not being able to afford a new sublimation printer, I've watched all of your ink jet printer DTF hack videos. I have some questions. You did a Temu haul and you tried out a sublimation spray. That says it removes the sizing from the fabric. Do you think prewashing with soda ash would work to make the ink jet colors more color-fast ? Also, someone suggested using Bubble Jet Set, I'm wondering how that may affect the colors as well. Can you do a video using those products for regular ink jet printers. Such a great video line-up and the community is so supportive as well.

[@darlenevenus4398]

Thank you so much for all the information on DTF. I tried making one with the white vinyl and on without. The one with the white vinyl feels like vinyl but the one without felt like it blended into the shirt. I plan on making more so I can use more cotton shirts. Where can I send pictures of my work?

I would LOVE to see a process where someone does the WHITE ink hack so you can print color designs on a black t-shirt... THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! I tried to do it and I failed.

[@indigenousinkbeads2023]

Hmm have you tried adding glitter to the powder?? i wanna see😊

[@wendaliah]

I had an idea I am going to try. With print screening when we did it at school we wouldn’t use print screen paint, we used acrylic. To set the color we would use a dryer to set the color. My theory is to air cure for 24 hours first. Then, put shirt in the dryer to set ink before washing. I’ll try with different ink and keep all updated.

After you use the DTF ink, can you use the sublimation ink as well?

just to make sure I answer this correctly if your talking about converting one to DTF no one you put DTF ink or vise versa you have to stick with it

Question my dtf is not sticking to my garment. Any reason why or recommendation

[@Recallalertnetwork111]

Question: First off I would like to say I enjoy your vids and watch them all the time, I have learned a lot saying that. I am a little at a disagreement in what you are stating about the DTF powder, you say that this powder that you use is 100% safe just because the company says it is safe? and that THEY whoever THEY are would not sell the powder if it was not safe, so you are saying that big companies care about the safety of the consumer I find that unreal. These companies or THEY as you state THEY over and over I guess THEY are the big companies care about our health, the companies care about there profits not our health. Again I like your vids and I have used this same powder that you recommend and I have wondered about the particles coming from the powder, but I do not understand how you can say that the powder is 100% safe just because the company or THEY say it is. This is like saying that China loves America and everything that China ships to America is safe and non toxic to the consumer because THEY say that it is, I hope you understand where I am coming from. I also bought a Sawgrass and moved away from the powder completely mush better and easier.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Safety is my number one concern I totally get where you're coming from and I respect everything you have said. when I say they is because I have actually reached out to Multiple companies from DTF brands to sublimation to ask these questions. Anything you use is a chemical from paint, sublimation ink, HTV vinyl, epoxy etc even with these things you should always work in a well ventilated area my reason of mentioning this at the beginning was because in the beginning there was a lot of scare. I do want to apologize if you think I'm dismissing safety in anyway! When it comes to anything that may concern you and your Health always do your own research don't just take my word for it or anyone else always get multiple opinions. Thank you 😊 for sharing your thoughts and opinions I think its healthy to have this conversations ❤️

[@yaraflores9252]

I love using my Sawgrass sublimation printer for this hack. I have made myself a lot of different garments with this hack. I do find that with my printer I can't use the painter's tape (get a mis feed) so I just use scotch tape at the top and it feeds great, no streaks!. I have washed my clothing a lot and it is still bright as when it first came off the press. I love your videos CrystalAnn and I hope you keep on making them!!!! YOU ROCK!!!

Very informative info on dtf hacks! Thanks! Are the dtf hacks using the sublimation printer fade in wash or is it just as durable in the wash/dry as regular sublimation? Second question is dtf feel the same as htv or more like screen printing feel?

Hi Crystal, I am a beginner to making shirts and tote bags. I’m so glad I can use my canon inkjet printer 😅 I’ve watched most of your inkjet hack videos. My only confusion is how do I know when it’s a hot or cool peel? I may be missing it or haven’t found that video.

[@tinaneeley8797]

Thank you for putting all this information in one video. I'm wondering if anyone had tried a bit of fabric paint for white background then use the dtf hack? I thought it might work for dark shirts that won't bleach light enough if it actually holds the dtf ink.

[@F8thForKidz]

I have a question. I used an epson printer and it worked great! I made some new shirts with a new epson printer and the ink runs off when washed. With the first printer I sprayed water on my shirt right after because I accidentally burned a tiny area. The ink was absolutely fine. With these new shirts the tiniest splash of water ruined it. Could it be the printer, or not enough pressure/heat? The film didn’t peel as easy either

[@keynote8412]

Thank you for all your suggestions. It’s been great! 2 part question here 😅What is the benefit of using sublimation printer with the DTF powder instead of the ink jet printer- I have both! And can you wash the T-shirt with the DTF powder or is it more washable if you use sublimation ink DTF. I would like to see if using “white” DTF powder will take care of the white area dilemma! 😬😁

Is their any reason not to use straight up dtf ink instead of sublimation ink on a converted epson printer?? I know you will still be missing the white ink but maybe the colors on clear shirts will be better quality and you will be closer to “real dtf printing”?? Just a thought.
