Good morning hope you guys are well. I am the point to purchase my printers for the DTF can I ask you will you check for me if the Epson 1250 will work for the DTF? Which printer will be better for the DTF the Epson L121 or the Epson L1250? Will be waiting to hear from you guys soon have a blessed day.

Thank you from across the pond. I have just started this adventure last week. My son asked me to do a multi colored print for some safety yellow shirts for construction work. I was at a loss. i think this maybe the what i need to get it done. Thanks again, cheers.

Brilliant and will work out cheeper, brilliant

@@SexyDancingbird74 thanks we appreciate the feedback. It's a lot cheaper it cost us around £200 to set it up :)

[@toniwalker362]

Wow this is amazing, I’ve never tried this dtf before but feel like trying it, will save up, just a quick question, can you re use them or do you have to use a new image every time before pressing. What is the name of the paper you use much appreciated

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@toniwalker362 hi Toni so this is DTF not sublimation you print on to a film then the powder you put on turns to a glue when you heat it and it transfers the entire image so their will be nothing left on the film. So it's a new image every time. The link to the film we use is in the description as is the ink and powder. I hope this helps :)

[@cjjaskiewicz3322]

Awesome Tutorial thank you for being so thorough. I'm fairly new to sublimation, tried a few dtf hacks with the sub ink, after watching this video, My question is, after doing the "ghost" print and press, would it be possible to press a standard sublimation print on top of the ghosted image or does it still need to be dtf ink in order for process to actually work and maintain durability? I appreciate any info you could offer. Thank you again and hoping to see more how-to's in the future!😊

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@cjjaskiewicz3322 we sublimated onto the DTF to try this theory but because it was on a cotton shirt the colours were lost. So unfortunately you would have to lay the colour DTF over the top unless it's a polyester shirt :)

Have you had any issues with the white ink clogging. Seems the DTF printers have issues with the white causing printhead issues if not used daily so curious if there is an issue with the white or do you do a daily printhead cleaning to keep it flowing?

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@YesMyOpinionMatters hi thanks for your question. We print from it daily and have had no issues up to now.

[@TheJayCity]

great video!

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

Thank you 😊

[@deejaydiabolic]

Once pressed to fabric, how does the print feel on the shirt? Does it feel like a screenprint or is it heavy-handed and feels kinda crunchy, like a heat-transfer iron-on print? Thanks.

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@deejaydiabolic so the double print is like a screen print but the double layer feels more like HTV

[@deejaydiabolic]

@@CraftedCustomCreations appreciate the response 👍

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@deejaydiabolic no problem :)

[@andrewnegru]

I had this idea I just didn’t have it in me to do this with a printer. So just to make sure , 2 printers, one with cmyk dtf and the other with white dtf. For the white drf printer? Do you just use the same settings since it would be printing the exact same image but white? Not understanding the white drf part? You did greyscale? Why not just print twice once with color then once again but in the white toner printer hope I’m making sense

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@andrewnegru hi thanks for watching the print settings determine how thick the ink is and because it's layed you want the white layer to be as thin as possible that's why we print the way we do you could do it the way your saying but the ink would be thicker so the image on the shirt would be thicker. I hope this helps :)

[@andrewnegru]

Got it understood so then for the second print do you make it all grayscale? Does that use every single ink cartridge?

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@andrewnegru it will use other colours when it detects shading but I run a normal print everyday just to keep the jets running freely.

[@andrewnegru]

@@CraftedCustomCreations OK got it understand

[@tsuggs8142]

Great video, does it matter which epson printers you use?

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

Hi you can use any Epson printer as long as you can get refillable ink cartridges for them :)

[@princedube8332]

WOW! So no need to go buy those expensive DTF printers then. 1 Question though, doesn't the printer with all white ink clog ? If it does, how frequently does it do so and how do you unclog it? Thank you so much by the way. Love from Zimbabwe!

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@princedube8332 hi we run a few prints every day to keep the jets free and we physically pick the printer up and shake it on a morning lol we have had no issues upto now lol

[@princedube8332]

Hi, i need some clarification here. When you print in High Quality mode like matte printing option, the printer mixes the color inks to produce black isn't it. Then it only uses the black ink when in normal or draft printing right? So what if you just put white ink in where the black is supposed to be and print as greyscale when you want white and high quality option to get all other colors ? I don't know if I'm making sense here.

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@princedube8332 your making perfect sense but at some point you will have to power clean the printer and I just don't want to run the risk of colour going through the print head.. I still run full colour prints to make sure all the jets stay clog free. You could do it your way but personally I wouldn't run the risk of colours mixing :)

[@Ninkies69]

Hi guys how are you? Came across your page on KZbin will watching some video on DTF Printing. Oh and just want to say I'm from South Africa. I want to ask you do you think I will be able to use the Epson L121 EcoTank A4 singlefunction USB Printer? One DTF Printers will only be filled with the white ink and the other printer with the remaining colours for the DTF. And do I need to take out any thing like for instance the middle rollers to avoid smear marks or not? And will I be able to use Coreldraw Graphics to create my prints?, Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thank you in advance..

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@Ninkies69 hi ive just had a quick look at the L121 that will be fine to use as for the rollers we've only had one print where the rollers were an issue. Our rollers are still in so I would try it with them in first and see what you think. Coral draw will be fine to use as long as you install the whole Epson software package as that will handle the print properties so coral draw doesn't have too. :)

[@Ninkies69]

@@CraftedCustomCreations Is the Epson Software Package and extra download I will need or will this be there after setup and everything? Sorry for all the questions but I want to do this the right way from the beginning.

Hi is it possible for me to use a brand new ecotank printer other than Epson? For the white ink?

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@g-force1699 hi thanks for your question. Unfortunately the answer is we don't know because we have only tried Epson and canon but definitely do not try using a canon printer. If the printer you have can use sublimation ink then it can use DTF ink. But that's all we can say as we don't want people ruining their printers on our say so. Sorry we can't be of more help with this.

[@jmrtopcoatingllc]

@CraftedCustomCreations i appreciate the help. I was leaning towards the eco tank 8550 and doing the dtf conversion on it but this is an idea I never thought of. Have you thought of the conversion idea or does this work for you just as well. Have you tried any of the dtf ovens yet or are you still doing the curing of the powder with your heart press?

[@CraftedCustomCreations]

@@jmrtopcoatingllc for how little we do DTF we are happy with this and the heat press. If we need big prints we are just buying them in gang sheets. My honest advice is this if your a DIY crafter our way is much more affordable and it will work for you but if you are planning on selling a lot then I would go down the conversation route as you get it in one print. Hope this helps

[@jmrtopcoatingllc]

@CraftedCustomCreations thank you for your advise, I think we will try this method and see how it works for us. Do you recommend any eco tank epson printer that isn't an all in one?
