🤯 Direct to film (DTF) Hack With the Inkjet Printer - NEW

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

🚨Update second wash I lost color 😭 Back to the drawing board so to recap black is a success color only on non wash items like tote bags

Someone help! I have tried the inkjet hack but I have tried printing on DTF a few times and my ink runs every time I print and it makes the image ugly before I have time to put the powder on it 😩

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

have you tried powdering and curing it twice

[@danadistortion9224]

Wow! This is amazing! How many washes will this last?

[@MarthaArellano-i4r]

On this hack , why would you not have just added the white offset to the initial print instead of doing the HTV then adding the DTF on top?

[@tigerlady3107]

Are you saving the image to your files then go to Notebook or wordpad?

[@claudia58savich]

I have the epson workforce printer, from what has been said it is pigment ink. I may have to get supplies and try this hack..

Great. you are amazing. but i have question, I am new what you can suggest me to use printer or cricut .what type of transfer do i need to use, HTV or DTF. ? wonderful work.

[@Thebloomingcanadian]

Which transfer paper do i need to use, HTV or DTF??? Can u tell me . And do i need to use printer or cricut?

[@JoelArra89]

Hey CrystalAnn can you do this with both light and dark fabrics and is it possible to use a sublimation printer to print the dtf transfers? Was thinking get a sublimation printer but i know sublimation has its limits so thought i could try the dtf hack and print vinyl heat transfer paper as well to get the most out of the printer and have more options

[@patsypayne3411]

I’m trying to do the DTF on a tote bag and it doesn’t seem to stick and I have an easy press. Do I need to heat it higher than 300?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

add more pressure and yes bump it up to 320

[@judismith8655]

how did it hold up in the wash??? TRying to find the wash results.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

The color washed out the black did not

[@oldheadgamer7248]

Wondering does glossy DTF film work well with inkjet printers

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Yes it does

[@Kai0nTheMoon]

Question. I already own this old monster of a heat press from years back that is incredibly heavy and makes the world's absolute worst noise when the timer ends, so I'm looking to get something newer and lighter that doesn't make me want to pour cement in my ears. I'm noticing you use a lot of cricket heat presses but my question is, have you had any experience with the HTVRONT Heat Presses? They look to be about the same built but are about $100 less on Amazon and a couple inches smaller (12x10cricket vs 10x10HTVRont). I'm really on a quite a budget starting out so that $100 would help. It has good reviews but you can't trust Amazon reviews these days because for every person who thinks an item is the best thing ever, there's someone who 'would give it zero stars if they could'. So I figured I'd ask you because you seem to know your stuff. Unless you have some sort of deal to only endorse Cricket stuff, which I understand. I did just snag a Cricket Explore 3 on eBay so I have nothing against the company. Just trying to save a few bucks starting out.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I have used the HTVRont easy press the 9x9 I passed it on to my daughter it works just as great as the Cricut brand as for the HTVRont autopress it is very clunky I'm not a fan at all. I'm all about saving cash as well so yes use that extra cash on something else and if you want a Cricut easy press snag them during Black Friday or during amazon prime in July

[@ac4382]

You can’t do complex designs right ? Like a custom made design that fades into the t shirt ?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

You can do any design 😀

[@Lyfestylesbydanniek]

ok so my question is do u add the white background with vinyl so the black dont bleed into the design because when i did it the black bled into the design which ruined it. can u do other colored background on black or does it only work with white?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

you can do other colors just stick with light colors. it helps it pop off the black so it doesn't blend into the shirt

[@EmilyParker-jl3cd]

do you do a repress after like you would HTV or is it good to go once peeled?

[@blesildakohlin7520]

Hi! Thank you for this hack. Can I do this to a sublimation mug?

Your welcome I tried this and it was a fail

[@cassandras3364]

How stretchy is the design when done with DTF powder/film? Does it crack like a printable HTV will over time?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

It’s stretchy 🥳

@YouCanTotallyMakeThat thanks! I just ordered the powder and sheets today! I can't wait to try it out with my black inkjet ink before I get a sub printer!!

[@cjjoy2182]

I tried this and it went on great didn't wear it or wash it for a week and the first wash it washed out completely can't see the design. Any suggestions?

[@gbpackergal54140]

What about an injet printer with sublimation ink? Does that change the outcome at all?

[@ejanssen2010]

Would this work on something that you don’t have to wash? Like key chains, ornaments, sublimation mugs etc? I really want to “Sublimate” but don’t have the money or the room to buy a new printer. Maybe you’ve already done this I just need to go through your videos!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Yes it would!

[@afriend8961]

This didn't require any powder? Just print design, cover with teflon/parchment paper and press? Thanks! =).

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Yes you need powder you may have missed a step

[@afriend8961]

@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat I commented after your first transfer in your video, but saw you use the powder on the second transfer. I just started with DTF and nothing works! I learned from other vids about the powder, bought all my supplies, I'm using a domestic handheld iron (just started) and nothing works! I don't need to cut/weed my designs, just print, powder, place on garment, cover with teflon/parchment paper and press and nothing works! What am I missing or doing wrong? Thanks! =).

[@krystalminton9899]

I have a regular HP Deskjet printer. Would that work?

Very nice video but you confused me about the color concerns. Will this work for color permanently or not? I'm thinking "yes" it works due to the DTF powder...but before I go wasting time and materials, can you please confirm this? Thanks so much.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

The color will wash out I only recommend the inkjet DTF hack for non wash items like tote bags, hats etc. now if you print in all black it will not wash out. now to flip it up even more if your inkjet printer has pigment ink and not dye ink the color will not wash out. you can google your ink to find out if its pigment ink

[@susanmulac1585]

I guess you would need a inkjet printer that uses pigment based color inks. Also wonder if a waterproof fabric spray fixative over the DTF layer prior to ironing on the HTV layer would help.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

That is correct I'm on the hunt for one now looking for an affordable one 😃 I was thinking that was well with the spray 🤔
