TRENDING! DTF & Sublimation Hack on 100% Cotton Shirts! | So Soft! No DTF Printer Needed!

[@evefavorse5939]

Thank you for showing the mistakes to help the rest of us! Love your tutorials!

[@evew8532]

I love how detailed you are and your personality. I would just say, please use protective gear when using the powder, it's very fine and toxic when inhaled. Just want the best for you Sis. God bless.🙏🏾

[@simongendry1823]

I used to use an Epson ET-2550 kzbin.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.

[@judyromano2229]

I know you've done a laundry video in the past. Have you done one lately with all of the great things you've shown us. Buying a DTF printer isn't in the budget plus I don't think I'd use it enough so that I wouldn't have issues. Thanks for all of the videos

[@dhawk2263]

I appreciate your not afraid to show your mistakes. I noticed u said press at 345 but the press was set at 375. Keep up the great videos

[@katrinasgracefulcreations3711]

That was when I was warming it up I lowered the temp bc you’re pressing the film doesn’t have to be that high

[@gl7038]

I did the same thing I forgot the white paper behind. The spay is also good.

my video was done with sublimation ink but others have done it with inkjet as well. i will be doing a video on that as well

[@hafizahali1969]

Thank you... Not many on here uses the Silhouette cutter... I have learned that DTF hack for dark shirts and I uses 100% cotton too majority of the time... I appreciate the transparency as I made that mistake of not putting of the clear offset vinyl on first... I actually use my Silhouette to cut out the images on the DTF vinyl, glossy or matte (HTV Ront) Brand

[@Bionicbabyy]

Great video. Love how you go into detail. You stated at the beginning you were going to do the image without the white and watching the shirt ending I appreciate you doing that so we could see what happens when you do not do the white background.

[@vrsthaworld]

Thanks for showing the mistake, I just had the same exact problems with my Epson Wf 7710 from the dtf paper not going through to pressing an all black image lol. I ended up using the rear paper tray and it went right through. Glad to see I'm not the only one who had this happen and there's still hope.

[@cherylsheth8878]

Have you tried putting the white Vinyl on top of the print that you made the error on 25:46 and then putting the print back on, if that would work.

[@mommylove67]

It took me 47 different videos from other people for someone to just say that. So many other videos skip over crucial details.

That was a smart ideal I would have never thought to do that

you can also scratch the side and the one that shows a scratch is the side to print on. Nice Hack!! use white glitter HTV and is sharper image. Usa Tacky spray on shiny side and put full size paper on back. paper can be reused. This hack works well. We just printed a HTV, DTF, and Rhinestone shirt.
