The ink tank system appears to be much better than the cartridge system kzbin.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 and a lot cheaper to run. The machine was easy to set up. A small point but I thought they'd be a USB cable included to help with the set up but there was none. I've been using it now for a few weeks and it seems like a good product and superior to my previous printers which were all troublesome HP machines.

[@greedygamblerslots]

Please do an update. Since I do sublimation primarily, I’ve been using this DTF hack with my converted epson sublimation printer, and I haven’t needed to tape a second sheet to it on my printer btw. I’m curious how the inkjet holds up tho. So far I love the feel of the DTF and I can do cottons, I’m definitely looking into getting a DTF printer setup as a way to print whites, and since I can save on the shirts it might be a win win for my customers

[@lyndabryant7390]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I was wondering about the inkjet/dtf, and by George you solved it! I will be attempting this, Thanks again!

[@KingdomDTF]

Nice video. Just a friendly reminder, to be able to make black and dark garments you need to have DTF White Ink so the design is visible. DTF White Ink also helps washability so the design last longer. That is why just regular inkjet inks can not last. Again, nice video for fun.

[@ColorMePorcha]

Cool, appreciate the info. I pretty much knew what to expect but wanted to try it anyway, LOL!

[@CricketLaChica]

@@ColorMePorcha So how was it after a few washes? Did not having the DTF White Ink make it fade faster? :)

Thank you for sharing this hack my friend it's beautiful ❤

[@ColorMePorcha]

Thank you!

[@anthonyboss3686]

Everybody shows the process on you tube. What they dont show is what ink to use. Do you use the actual injet ink or dtf transfer ink poured into refillable cartridges and then used in the inkjet??

[@mamadubwize]

Have you posted the Wash results for this one and the sublimation one? n e links? thanks!!

[@lupustired624]

Hi Thank you for the awesome video.

[@christianperryman6126]

What software do you need to convert the inkjet printer?

[@mikeledee8786]

Do you know if your printer uses pigment or dye ink? Also what is better, the shinny or dull side against the decal/shirt parchment paper? Thanks a bunch.

[@ColorMePorcha]

In this video, I used regular inkjet ink. But have since taken to using my sublimation printer with this hack. The inkjet ink does work but doesn't last as long as ink specifically used for fabric. Either side of the parchment paper will work. I haven't seen a difference between the press and the two sides.

[@mikeledee8786]

@@ColorMePorcha Thanks

[@ladysmedleydesigns]

Emotional outburst! 😂😂😂 love that. Thanks for the video especially because you showed using the white powder on a black tee, where most other videos advise using black powder. What's your thoughts on that?

[@ColorMePorcha]

Love emotional outbursts, LOL! But yeah, at the time of posting, I didn't know the difference, so I went with. My husband had the shirt on last night, so he's rocking it.

[@Slim7031]

This is awesome, thank you for sharing! My question is, can you stack these & store them for later printing, say for an event?

[@ColorMePorcha]

You're welcome. I'd say no. The ink sits on top of the film so it can be easily smeared. You'll want to use it when you print it.

[@kristenbaker539]

Do you have to use a special ink or can you just use the ink that came with the inkjet printer?

[@ScoopNemeth]

So when you use painter's tape on the shiny side, it'll make printing on the matte side better. Plenty of drag. Make it like you're printing on iron-on and normal paper. Easy print out. All correct?

[@jjlove9644]

Can you do the same process for 16 oz libby cup

[@olubukola7]

Thanks for the video. Is it possible to use white htv as a base before printing the dft?

[@acexayaphet786]

any tricks if i dont have a heat press to cure the powder??

[@laqueshiaalexander6108]

I’ve heard some uses them small oven

[@Lady.Tijuri]

When printing, should it be flipped?

[@tresabaker7703]

wonder if you could use the T seal sheet for the seal over the graphic? it's a silicone sheet that used to seal the dtf on the shirt it says that not for sublimation ink?

[@GregABreland]

did you just use jet ink or Dtf ink

[@ymm424]

I don't have a large heat press like you do. Do you think I could use the oven with an open ajar door and a silicone sheet to heat the powder on the film? Thank you.

[@ColorMePorcha]

It seems possible, but I'm not sure. Also, you may not want a foreign product in the same oven you cook in. But a few things I know work are a griddle, and heat gun. Best wishes!

[@Mike-lk9hk]

I have a clamshell how else to do it

[@tashaprayor2546]

Great video! Thank you so much! I didn’t create my own DTF. I ordered them online. Do you recommend that I use the powder each time I use a DtF, especially those that have been stored and unused for a while. I’m new at this and would appreciate any information you can share.

[@tracypaglione2577]

What setting on the printer do you use? I was thinking premium presentation matte setting.

[@hananfatani]

Amazing thanks for sharing❤️❤️❤️ By using inkjet printer, do you mean using the normal printer with dtf inks? Or with its inkjet inks?🤔

[@ColorMePorcha]

Thanks! In this video, it's just regular inkjet ink, but I have used sublimation ink, too. See here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6TEnnydjbefh5Y

[@johnmiller6476]

Very curious about how it held up after a wash or two.

[@ColorMePorcha]

Hi! It's been washed about three times, and it's not worn often, but I certainly can see fading. I've since taken to using my sublimation printer and ink with this hack, and the results have so far held up great!

Please, I need some help! I REALLY want this to work for me! I have the exact same printer you're using but when I tried this hack, it does NOT work for me. I used the exact same materials you did, with the same printer. What print settings did you use? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

[@kephernyabwa7403]

I guess there must be some rollers that had to be removed from the printer so as not to smudge the image as its passes out from the printer......

[@carlablair6688]

When I tried this inkjet hack it looked great on white shirts not so good on black. With that said when I washed the shirts the ink really faded out a great deal.

[@carlablair6688]

I must add I am really new to this hack so I don’t know much 😊if any one has any suggestions on how not to have the faded look please help thanks

How are you getting the metallic colors from an inkjet or is that just how it appears with your lighting? Either way, It looks awesome on that black shirt!

[@ColorMePorcha]

Thanks! You guessed it, it's the light, LOL!

[@arlenepalomares3305]

What's the purpose of the painters tape?

[@ColorMePorcha]

To add weight to the film, so my printer will print on the film and not just spit it out without printing the image

Can you press this on other surfaces like acrylic, wood, mugs or is it just for t shirts?

I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure. I noticed it kinda melts into the fabric, and I'm thinking it wouldn't be the same for solids.

[@amandabamford8619]

I just can't get my powder to melt and tips

[@Ezanity]

so was this standard Inkjet Ink or dtf ink?also how is it wearing with washes etc? great video

[@ColorMePorcha]

Standard inkjet ink, it's holding up very well so far. Thank you!

[@QISWAG]

Im using the hp 4100e printer and it is spitting the film right out without printing, would you know why this may be? Also i applied painters tape to give it a little weight.

[@deniseperry4122]

Do u use the ink that came with printer? Or pigment dye

[@ColorMePorcha]

Hi, just plain inkjet ink

[@catbilus1]

What program are you using to print onto the DTF? I know Cricut you can only print to a certain size.

[@Kylale1]

Not anymore... Cricut updated the size to large. Open the cricut program; click settings; the general tab, look down and click "BETA"! (That's It)... To make sure that you did it right click the "load tab" look for "print then cut page size", click on it and you'll see several large sizes for your images... You can find lots of vids on youtube for instructions...

How does it hold up after washing?

[@ColorMePorcha]

Hi! So far so good through one wash.

[@brendamendoza4975]

would of looked brighter on a white shirt great video

[@deshantebraggs332]

Is there a difference using a sublimation then a ink jet with this method or is it the same results?

[@ColorMePorcha]

Yes, there is a difference And it's all about longevity. Sublimation ink is going to last longer as it is specifically made to infuse ink into fabrics, whereas inkjet ink is first and foremost made for paper. Now when you Introduce the DTF hack to either ink it extends the life of sublimation on 100% cotton and enables you to use inkjet ink directly on fabric.

[@ColorMePorcha]

Also, I answered your question in a Q&A video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oabHaniabZZkgc0

[@III-gn2bo]

does it need to be a laser printer?

[@ColorMePorcha]

No, I know this hack works on inkjet printers

[@randycaldwell4957]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have one question. How long was your cool down time? And how long after it prints do you put the DTF powder onto the image. Thanks in Advance...

[@fed8397]

I am told you have to put the powder on right away, and it has to completely cool down after first press.

[@Lyfestylesbydanniek]

I have a question. Is this DTF film better for dark color shirts? I have Yamation film and when I do it on a white shirt it comes out perfect, but when I do it on a black shirt the black fades into the transfer. So the picture is no longer the original color it’s turning black. I tried turning my heat press down but still the same results

[@ColorMePorcha]

No, for dark colors you need different supplies. I haven't fully explored that yet.

[@fendibondie2545]

Dark colors you have to have that white background then put the power and sublimation ink over it
