Thank you for an extremely informative video. Not only did i learn about ink and converting, you also gave great options for those who don't have electric tools at home.

[@mothmoiloa]

Thanks I'll definitely donate to your channel you just saved me about $600 usd from buying the already converted one.

[@xopaw9358]

It's actually working😊, but the drawback is that even a slight movement of the film can ruin the print. I personally find it more challenging compared to just opening the printer and removing the roller. Although it can be a bit intimidating for someone like me who isn't tech-savvy, there's no need to worry about any springs popping out or anything tricky. Just make sure to remember where all the screws go. In my case, I left one roller on both sides and cut them so I could feed a 4-inch long film.

Sublimation printers are just regular printers that print with sublimation ink. Sublimation paper absorbs sublimation ink and there is no smudging. So you will still need to carry out the mechanical conversion.

Is it very glossy on the other side? Some DTF film is just bad and causes constant problems.

Desktop inkjet printers don't dry the ink. It's the paper that absorbs the ink. This is why when you buy cheap thin printer paper and try and print out a photo, it often comes out wet. In our case we want it to come out wet.
