Appreciate it! That means a ton thank you!

[@duncanthearies1]

[@NekoPrints]

The DTF transfer? I had a bigger platen for the printer at the time

[@duncanthearies1]

@@NekoPrints thanks because i’m just starting my t shirt designing and it be coming out small

What is the correct pressure when pressing

[@NekoPrints]

I always use heavy pressure

[@gameislife6688]

@@NekoPrints full pressure? How about the temperature? Because i have a problem when the durability . It craks after wash

I’m having sm issues trying to heat press hot peel, I do 325 20 secs and its always peeling off when I take off the film

[@NekoPrints]

Try letting it cool a bit or add more pressure?

[@thage0]

@@NekoPrints yeah I have it as heavy pressure, the design just comes off the shirt from the film when I do hot peel which is what the instructions says to do. Is it bc the temp is 2 High ?

[@NekoPrints]

@@thage0 I usually use 320f. Have you tried letting it cool to see if that helps?

Is Ricoh Ri 1000 direct print on garment? Question is why you are using DTF instead of DPG? Any reason?

[@NekoPrints]

Yeah it's dtg. I used to use it for DTF for polyester shirts and to sell dtf transfers.

[@rebecarivas438]

I have bubbles in my DTF transfer after I pressed it. What did I do wrong? I'm scared that if I try to peel it, some parts will not have adhered properly.

[@NekoPrints]

Did you check the adhesive? Maybe it didnt cure right? Did you prepress ytour shirt? I'd try to press it down again with some more pressure and maybe on a different part of the press.

[@rebecarivas438]

@@NekoPrints Thanks for the response!! I repressed and peeled. The design looks ok but has some light spots. I have a Siser heat press. I read a tutorial that I may have needed to wipe or expose adhesive side to some heat before pressing?

[@sarathsojan8864]

How to make it softer ??

[@NekoPrints]

The only way really is to give it a second press.

[@babybri2883]

My prints keep cracking on press

[@NekoPrints]

Might be too much heat. Have you tried reading the temp on the platen with a temp reader?

[@barbra429]

How well do these hold up in the washer. Also do you have to use their designs, or can you use your own?

[@NekoPrints]

So far I have a few I've done that have been washed over 10 times and still look great :) I have my own designs I offer but I also do custom transfers.

[@barbra429]

@@NekoPrints ok

[@Kiswinar]

Hello, can we press the DTF design onto paper such as Kraft Paper or any thicker paper?

[@NekoPrints]

I actually haven't tried that! I'll make sure to test that out and report the results!

[@kaydavis4734]

hi, what size is your image?

[@NekoPrints]

This was a 13 x 19 I believe

[@traphut1093]

Pressed up to high. Four fingers

[@NekoPrints]

I break the 4 finger rule with oversized designs like this one. If I used 4 fingers the bottom of the design would sit way too low
