HOW TO MAKE A DTF GRAPHIC TEE WITH AN INKJET PRINTER

[@antiapps]

this is literally the only helpful video on the internet on this topic

We printed the t-shirts just like you suggested - with an HP inkjet paper with regular ink, and they came out just fine. Thank you for this tutorial!

What kind of printer do you need for dft

[@dj_jamfu91]

So did you modify your inkjet printer at all ? I'm going to get the Epson XP 15000 do I need to do any maintenance on it to do this DTF hack ? I've watched a lot of videos and they are not clear on if they are using the printer right out the box or not.

[@dj_jamfu91]

Was your printer modified ?

Where to get the kit

[@ronaldshaw8948]

Thank you so, so, so, so, so much!!! I'm trying to start a t-shirt business but I'm REALLY on a shoestring budget and have been searching for more affordable ways to get DTF prints without spending so much on printing services that of course charge insane shipping rates. Not until now do I think I actually have a chance to get things rolling. Again, thank you so much!

[@stefanypereira867]

did you start your business? how is it going for you? I'm scared because I actually thought putting money in one machine but I guess that's not the case, I guess it is a couple of them right? specially if you are doing from home ! ( i wanted to start a event ballons/decor business that could incluse t shirts ?

[@yourunclesam6780]

Excellent tutorial, amazing. I spent $2600 on a dtf printer and it only lasted 8 months and I didn't use it, money in the trash. Now I see your very important video for me. Thank you

OMG this is already a great tutorial, and I am on 1:35 seconds .... thank you. You started from the beginning. Little things are so important. Showing and telling that you just printed a picture on the DTF from your printer thank you I know it may had seem most people would have understood that step but NO if you are new to this what you need is what YOU did showed that it was just a picture you liked THANK YOU the little things are what count and you nailed it!

Thank you! Tried for the first time today. The first one, the color Blue did not transfer well. I made sure the second time that I quickly covered with the powder with PLENTY, left it for a little bit longer before shaking off the powder and it turned out great!

[@ericrumlin7633]

@kbeuchert how long did you leave the powder before shaking it off

[@karenbeuchert5908]

@ericrumlin7633 only about 2-3 minutes, but, I think the difference was how quickly I put the powder on which was within 45 seconds. The first one it was probably 4-5 minutes

hello! what do you do for the white ink is that dtf or sublimation as i cannot find any inkjet white color for that

[@ColorMePorcha]

Standard inkjet printers are unable to print using white ink, in this example the highlights are just absent of color or not a true white and on a white shirt the "white" is enhanced. Hope that makes sense 😊

[@_roshi]

hey porcha! all the videos I've watched say dye-based inkjet colors will not survive being washed, and I don't see anything here that they're not doing (i.e. everyone using this yamation paper that I've seen applies the powder as part of the process and double presses). I suppose I'm just curious what you're doing differently when you say you've washed them and they are good to go, as other videos are showing the post-washed shirts faded, except for the pigment-based black ink. any ideas?

[@ColorMePorcha]

Hi @_roshi! In this video, I used regular inkjet ink. The image is still intact but has faded slightly, as I expected. I have since switched to using sublimation ink with this hack, which hasn't faded since this type of ink bonds with the fabric. See my sublimation video and wash test here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6TEnnydjbefh5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppqzi3-rmbKHg6c

[@_roshi]

@@ColorMePorcha ah there we go! haha I was really scratching my head. I am so many hours into learning but still not sure what exactly the “hack” is supposed to be? it feels like most folks in this genre of craft are just using things as intended

[@ColorMePorcha]

So, the "hack" uses DTF film and powder with sublimation ink to produce an image suitable to press on 100% cotton. With sublimation, the polyester count needs to be higher than the cotton count, i.e., 60/40, to make the best image for sublimation.

[@_roshi]

@@ColorMePorcha hmmm okay I wish creators would call it what it is, sublimation ink on DTF, instead of “hack” because everyone explains things a little differently. but I know you did not personally coin that! thank you for your responses! ❤️ you are so helpful. back to the drawing board with inkjet (I am opting to forgo sublimation)
