Ninja Transfers DTF transfers tutorial: start your custom t shirt business with just a heat press!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Have you ever tried DTF transfers before?

[@konaskreations]

I’ve never have. It’s something I would like to add/offer for all my dog mamas 🐾 and their fur babies.

[@charleneweege7149]

I ordered some free samples from Ninja. I realize this is a commercial for Ninja but that's how things work. We should promote each other's business. I think that buying the transfers rather than getting the printer is a better option.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Great I'm glad you ordered some samples to try out! Yes, I buy most of my designs from other small businesses on Etsy to support other shop owners and I agree I did not want to invest in a DTF printer and all the maintenance so these are a great option to try! Hope you have a great day!

[@charleneweege7149]

@@TheMonogramMompreneur Yes, I also buy from designers on Etsy

[@justanotherreseller351]

how much was that entire sheet of images?

[@darleneberry4753]

Those turned out so nice! Did pressing the prints give off an odor? Do you mind sharing what the gang sheet that size cost you?

[@miriammejia5209]

I ordered a gang sheet from ninja transfers and followed all the instructions and it didn’t turn out like that. Started peeling off after 1 wash. Disappointed because spent almost $100 for bad quality.

Which cameras do you use to film your videos? I noticed you have two. Great video btw

[@mabmindz]

What’s the paper you put over the transfer called?

[@justanotherreseller351]

I don't have the funds to purchase that big heat press machine you show. can I use another heat press that is smaller but cheaper even if I use the Ninja website you are advertising in this vid

[@Janice-wq3yb]

do they have the feel of vinyl once pressed or do they feel like sublimation?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

They don't feel like sublimation... but once you do that second press it feels more like a Screen Print or DTG. You can order a free sample from Ninja Transfers to try DTF if you want to test the quality and feel before ordering!!

[@bettymorales4864]

Always wonder about this company, thank you so so much for this video! I will give them a try

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

you are so very welcome!!! I was very impressed with them!!! Have a great weekend!!!

[@marilenecorbett2713]

can you share where you got the transfer designs from. I look on Etsy and there are a lot of SVG but I don't see DTF. Thank you

[@orlandovelez3105]

What is the price range on a roll like the one you just used?

[@prptink]

Those shirts look amazing! I’ll be getting some for sure. Thanks for sharing. Stay blessed love 🥰

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Thank you so much!!!! ❤️ hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks again for being here!

[@justanotherreseller351]

Do you have to get permission from the artist to sell their designs on your t shirts?

[@afriend8961]

Love the scriptures! =).

[@christinawilliams9057]

YES!! They are a game changer! I don’t use anything else !!!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

That's awesome!!! I know, I can't believe I waited this long to try them!! Hope you have a great weekend!

[@carollewis1644]

Thanks for responding so quickly. I hope your T Shirt business with your husband is going well. Love your videos especially on sublimation, DTF, and Cricut.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Thank you! Aww you are so kind for thinking of us! Yes we are doing well and in a good place where I can start filming some videos again!!! Thanks of being here!

[@carollewis1644]

These look great! I've never tried DTF transfers before. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Thank you!!! Yes I was so surprised how awesome they were! Hope you have a great day!

[@LettyHooper]

Can I ask where you got your heat press?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Heat Press Nation! Here is the link to the one I have: shrsl.com/4bsp5

[@netty3767]

Hi Ashley, those are beautiful!!! Would this be a viable means of “doing” t shirts (ordering from this company cost wise?) AND also what type and size of heat press would you recommend for being able to do all kinds of different sizes of men’s/womens/kids t shirts? They look stunning!!!! Thank you so much for doing this video ❤

[@monicasosa4566]

What is the difference between a dtf and screen printed transfer? Is one more durable than the other? Also, were the first few shirts kid sizes? What sweatshirts do you use? I am sorry, so many questions.😬

[@marilenecorbett2713]

they are sooo beautiful. Love the gods Word.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Thank you!!! Hope you have an awesome day!

[@BraniacTrivia434]

what size was those huge designs for the back of your shirts??

[@kayb6009]

Are the shirts polyester or cotton?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Some were 100% cotton , some were polyester/cotton blends!! I used Bella canvas, Gildan softstyle , comfort colors, and the sweatshirt was a Gildan 50 poly/ 50 cotton blend in this video!!

[@AmberGray-w1n]

I would love to order that "He is Not Here" tshirt.

[@ninjatransfersDTF]

We are OBSESSED😍!!! Can we have a shirt 🤭

[@NOOOOGO]

How did they washed?

[@Mariee1106]

Hey Ashley, How was the wash test ?

[@mendystone6174]

Hello! You mentioned you had bought some off Etsy. How do I search for them in Etsy? Love your channel.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Hi!! Thank you!! Here is the link to the shop I bought the designs from on Etsy: shrsl.com/4ftsc

[@dawnkelly]

What do you recommend as far as getting your first heat press? I saw you used both large and small. I went on the heat press nation ws, but there are so many options. Size, swing away etc. Would you go with the biggest size you can afford?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

So my pink heat press is a craft 15x15 heat press which is perfect for home use or crafting. My husbands is 16x20 AUTO open heat press, and that one I would recommend if you are doing multiple shirts a day just to save your back and shoulders!! We use super high pressure on the big heat press for screen print transfers, and it is so much easier on the body lol! so definitely look at an auto open if you plan on using it all day/ everyday!

[@atcbeginagainchurch8247]

Where do you order your shirts/sweatshirts from? Where have you found the best pricing?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

S&S Activewear is where we order Most of our sweatshirts and shirts. (Its a wholesaler) Sometimes when we are in a pinch we will order from Jiffy. Those are the two I am the most familiar with!

[@j12744]

Thank you for great video. Dtf is good but transfers last longer

[@TheTara148]

What’s the difference between them? I thought DTF was transfers.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I’m not sure what the above comment meant! These Ninja DTF transfers are supposed to last up to 60 washes , that is similar to one color screen print transfers we get made too!

[@j12744]

@@TheMonogramMompreneur yes both transfers are good but still plastisol screen printing last longer. From my experience. Thank you. 🫶🏼

[@j12744]

@@TheTara148 DTF is multicoloured transfer, screen print is usually one colour and you need to order more sheets from one design.

[@j12744]

@@TheMonogramMompreneur actually I have started using screen printing because of your videos and I like it. DTF is good option too.

[@aliciawilkerson9015]

Thank you!!

[@melissasandidge8306]

I love the colors you have in shirts and sweaters, where are you finding these pretty colors?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Thank you!!! We get out shirts and sweatshirts from S&S activewear and Jiffy ! The shirts I used in this video were comfort colors, Bella canvas , Gildan softstyle and the sweatshirt was Gildan 18000 heavy blend!

[@ruthfortitude4887]

Those are amazing! Where did you get your designs?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Etsy! Most are from Harper House 3:16 . Here is the link to her shop: shrsl.com/4ftsc

[@MeccaMakeba]

Nice!!

[@konaskreations]

Oh a must try! I have so many ideas 👏👏👏👏 Thank you for sharing 🌸

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

You are so welcome! thanks for being here!

[@jharper74]

Thank you for this. we mainly use print on demand, but their quality has taken a little bit of a nose dive. during and after Christmas. starting out, how would you determine how much inventory to buy? I prefer to do it your way now.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Oh that’s a bummer that print on demand quality has decreased! Who do y’all use? Starting out we just had a few colors and very lean inventory!! Once we noticed which colors and sizes were are better sellers we would up the inventory, we order inventory about once a week during busy season!

[@jharper74]

we are mainly using Swift POD or Monster Digital in some cases.

[@susannarducci3350]

Can I put them on canvas too?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I guess you could, I never thought of that!!! Great idea!

[@marilenecorbett2713]

Where do you get your images? I click on it and shows no images at all. Most of my images are on a flash drive.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I got the images from Etsy and imported them into ninja transfers gang sheet builder!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Once you import them you will be able to select and add them to your gang sheet !

[@marilenecorbett2713]

Thank you so much. Love how easy and fast that can be done.

[@dorothyrose9262]

What did you print your designs with? I missed that.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I bought designs from ETSY and then had them printed though Ninja Transfers. So they printed DTF (Direct to Film) Transfers from the images/designs I sent to them! Then I applied those transfers to my shirts with my heat press! Hope this helps!
