The biggest problem I've had is finding professional/reliable transfer sellers. Everybody wants to be in the game, but a whole bunch of them will fuck up your business with unreliability.

[@BigBrandoh]

mannnn this is something i keep hearing more and more. hard to build the business around unreliability and inconsistency.

[@tomofaus]

How exactly are they unreliable? with print quality?

[@odysseyroc]

@@tomofaus inconsistent print quality, missing deadlines, everything you can think of. There's a lot that goes into being a good print supplier, and some people don't realize that just buying the printer isn't enough.

[@taylorkaplan2614]

I got dtg, best thing I ever did.

[@chrisbenoit.]

@@taylorkaplan2614 how much was that?

[@roverdad]

The thing I find that is pushing me to buy a DTF printer is turnaround time and quality. I recently found a local printer that seems to be pretty good. Still a 2 hr round trip but they print same day so it still works for emergencies. Not going to buy my own until I have the volume to support it. Thanks for sharing your experience and opinions!

[@BigBrandoh]

good idea to make sure you have the business justification before jumping in. you want the printer to help your business not hurt your business

[@chrisbaker7583]

By far the best channel in the game. Just bought my first press and am starting a tshirt hustle. Been going through all the channels and this is by far the most informative, and concise channel on the subject. Plus you don’t talk like you’re trying to sell me something, which is apparently rare in this genre of videos. Appreciate all the time and hard work you put into making these videos. Keep it up 🙏

[@avab6254]

I needed wisdom from someone who been in the game with actual knowledge. Thank you! I’m excited to watch more of your videos .

[@BigBrandoh]

thanks for watching and finding my channel. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@redbone2275]

I really really appreciate this video. It really helped me decide on where I wanted to take my small business. You are absolutely correct when you have different pieces of equipment but then you end up not using it which is what my situation is. I have all of these dreams and aspirations of where I wanted to take my business but time is not on my side enough to really really learn these pieces of equipment. I work two jobs. I thought I wanted to get into doing DTF myself. I did test it out but after watching this video I realized that just buying the transfers will be the best thing for me and I absolutely think it would help my business thrive even more and save me time and money. I have learned a great deal from following you and watching all your videos and I look forward to the next one😊

[@melissaschick9966]

I followed the exact instructions for heat pressing dtf transfers and it was cracking bad after first wash.

[@dtftransfersupply7379]

Everything in this video is true. Everyone be trying to buy printers and its lol. Been doing DTF Printing for ~2 years now. $4 per square foot is where we've been at, thinking about upping our price slightly. That's the real issue is everyone thinks they can get a printer, hook it up on their garage and be printing money instantly. People don't know that you need a perfeclty climate controlled room (temp, humidity, dust, circulation etc) to produce quality transfers. Finding good quality DTF with an acceptable turn around time is key. Love the DOHGETTERZ, ya'll were my test subjects a year or more ago giving me feedback until i perfected our DTF transfers. Now we're running our shop with multiple printers 1-2 day turnaround.

[@patienceandfaithcustoms]

Just purchased a pro colored dtf printer. I wanted to have a different option to print. Loving it so far. A few people Have asked me to sell them transfers, but I want to get more comfortable before taking that step.

[@BigBrandoh]

[@JustPassingBy_Yolo]

Was having difficulties making some decisions and was leaning more towards buying transfers from others and see how my designs do first before I take off and buy a machine that's thousands of dollars. This video helps me a lot. Thanks!!

[@SWANGA247]

Right I’m pressing shirts and doing laser engravings. And I just don’t know where to buy from when it comes to transfer sellers

[@BigBrandoh]

my advice, test out all the transfer companies and sellers. see what works for you and your business.

[@adversaree]

Peace, king. Just wanted to get your take on the research part of your video, when it comes to knowing how to press with heat transfers. When it comes to the research part, I wanted to start my business by making sure I find the right cuts for men and women. As well as looking for the right cotton blends, etc. I also, when walking through clothing sections and I see the prints on shirts, I check the material and see what they used that print on to make it work. I want to be able to stand by my merch, and your video kind of made me feel like I MIGHT be on the right track, but I could use a pro/vet's advice. Nuff respect. Bless.

[@jimmynguyen5387]

When someone wants full color, I use a local DTF place, so I can pick up in 2 days or so, get home and press it. It works, I don't think my volume is where I'd want to go there. I still don't trust DTG all the way, since all samples I did from the popular online guys have had varied results. I like being able to press my own sometimes. Use one of Brandoh's videdos to bake in the cost of me buying the DTFs into the price. Local guys give me option for 12 x 24 gang sheet, so I make sure I get max value out those. So far no complaints. I like DTF to test out color designs too, in the same way I use HTV before doing screen-print transfers. When Blackpink came to town and people wanted color shirts for the concert, DTF that. =)

[@BigBrandoh]

thats right. buying local is always the winner! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥 get that money

[@AztekSoulArt]

I’m real interested in getting a printer. I typically get my transfer from Supacolor in Gardena but I just don’t have the volume in my orders yet. So to put in a minimum order in on transfers when I’m only getting one or two sales here and there Kills me sometimes

[@catchwreck928]

DO VINYL UNTIL YOU GET UR ORDERS UP MY MAN

[@Dtag1971]

My suggestion is have a 12 piece minimum. Those 1 or 2 piece orders just are not worth the hassle.

[@sentfrmheavensgamingadvent984]

I have used supacolor for facemask and inside neck transfer and love it. I am the jump in feet first guy...so I will take this video to heart and slow down and take it step by step. Thank you for this vid.

I have purchased transfers from quite a few of the bigger companies and they all feel Ike a sheet of plastic. Sizes are Ike 10x10 full color front. They look great but feel horrible. Any advice? I follow the instructions and finish with a parchment repress.

[@OldScuulAndy]

Heyo Brando. What’s the going rate for buying dtf prints? I’m tempted to buy a printer but open to using a supplier.

[@BigBrandoh]

i have no idea what the going rates are. i dont buy dtf transfers often. there are tons of companies and content creators that sell transfers now tho.

[@OldScuulAndy]

@@BigBrandoh do you sell transfers? Or what services do you offer? I sourced my clothing supplier and now will either get a dtf printer, or pay for transfers, or pay someone to do dtf / dtg on the clothing I bring them. If I end up doing the last option, then I’m trusting their transfers and their process, so I’d need a warranty or satisfaction guarantee on the finished product. If I get contacted by clients saying it’s peeling or fading fast, that would fall on whoever I outsourced it to cover the cost of a new one.

[@jlv20111]

I own a printer and although its a fast turn around a problem I found was the maintenance of the printer is very time consuming. In addition the cost to run the printer such as inks, and repairs, etc. I think if I had to choose again I would have help off on the printer and purchased transfers from a third party. I'm actually thinking of selling my printer as I cannot run everyday. Good luck to all

[@jessyva8853]

What best dtf printer i cant find the one on amazon look bad

[@fahadmasood7002]

Dear, I own the commercial DTF printer, and it's been around a month, and what I have been facing is definitely the pressing issues, like I can't figure out the exact temperatures and time. Iam in the phase of testing out different techniques right now. Not started selling the merch as of now. The print quality is up to the mark. But sometimes I face issues with the white ink, like it shows white lines during the printing process. I am still learning how to figure it out. Sooner or later I believe I will overcome this issue. But most of all I need your guidance regarding the temperature settings which I think more of a concerning part. So please guide me through. Regards Fahad from Pakistan.

check out the signature series by HPN. solid and reliable press. i got links in the description box for equipment i trust and use. check'em out. also look on offerup or craigslist. can find good gear for cheap. cuz i know shipping to Hawaii gets expensive. easier if you can find'em on the island already! 🤙🏾

[@anaelygonzalez5584]

I really appreciate your video... I sell my t-shirts in small batches locally is kind of POD, and I am planning to start selling on Etsy to increase the business, but I was thinking about buying the desktop style DTF printer, so I wont have to buy large amounts of DTF transfers without having an actual sale, plus my clients are always adding and asking for different styles, so I don't want to waste money in transfers that I may never use. What is your opinion about those small printers?

[@BigBrandoh]

i own a small printer and it sucks hahaha. it prints slow, and the maintenance is horrible. ask yourself this. if you buy a dtf printer of any size. lets say you have orders coming in and your printer goes down. clogged head, out of ink, banding, rip software issues (these are all normal problems) how will you get those orders out? will you email each customer saying there is a delay? or will you look for a dtf printer locally that can knock out the prints for you? will you refund the customers? if you answered with "find a local dtf printer" why not just order prints from them now instead of investing in your own machine. lots of these dtf printers offer no minimums. im not against people buying a printer but i am against people falling for the hype. if you have the business to afford a printer and you can justify it for your business. go for it. but if you have doubts deep down in your gut.. listen to your gut cuz those doubts are real. i would always advise people not to be the factory and dont waste your money on a printer. just order your prints from local printers who already invested in a machine. let them deal with the headache. hahahaa.

[@blameitontherain2020]

I made the switch to dtf printing 2 years ago. The only complaint I have is what you mention Brandoh, people offering there pricing for $3 a square ft, buying the paper by the roll cost more than that per foot so I don't now how these guys make money....I'll stick to selling local and just shirts or bags, I don't need to sell transfers if that is the going rate....I make other stuff in my shop not just transfers....thanks again Brandoh telling straight facts

[@BigBrandoh]

yeah man. i see it everyday on instsgram. somebody buys a dtd printer. when sells slow up, people sell shit for dumb cheap just to drum up business. but they are taking a big loss. there hope is hook the customer in with lowest price around and eventually raise the price to cover costs. but it never works out that way. they feel any money coming in is better than nothing. sad but true.

[@LadyMocha]

I want to do DTF transfers just to print for myself... not for selling though. I have a 12 x 12 swing press, i want a bigger heat press. Since increase in size is my own issue for like bigger shirts or better contact/coverage with sublimate bags, what alternatives do you recommended besides a bigger heat press?

[@BigBrandoh]

you planning on printing transfers everyday? the machine needs to run daily or you run the risk of clogging your print head. This is something nobody talks about when owning a dtf printer. the white ink clogs the print head if it sits too long. as far as pressing bigger designs. having a bigger press is the only option i can think of. cuz pressing in sections doesnt always work out the best.

[@LadyMocha]

@Big Brandoh you're right. Trying to repress in sections have been ugly! I see a good one for a good price. I pretty much figured that would be my only option.

[@josephpadilla8982]

I bought a roland bn20a from iss last year. What do you think about dtf vs printing on vinyl with an ecosolvent printer like the roland bn20a?

[@BigBrandoh]

cant compare the two. dtf is all ink. and the bn20 prints ink on to vinyl. but if you have that printer/cutter and it works for you and your customers. you dont need to switch up. continue to use what you have if its working.

[@whereintheworld333]

I am a brand owner and my print shop recently convinced me that DTF was high quality.. doesn't crack doesnt fade doesn't peel. They convinced me to stop getting my designs screen printed because this was a easier way to get vibrant colors. I got a recent batch and washed a few. On the FIRST wash they started cracking and peeling. I am so embarrassed that my shirts are out there potentially in this condition after the first wash. Can you please give any insight on what may of happened and how to prevent this in the future? I will add I have a riley hopkins 300 coming in tomorrow so I will not be using DTF any more.

[@BigBrandoh]

to be honest. its mostly in the application. couldve been pressed to hot. turned the ink brittle and it cracked. dtf is cool but i dont think it replaces screen printing. i do think its just another print option. sounds like the print shop you were working with, just wanted to print dtf and press it on for you instead of burning screens and printing. dtf or any transfer or any print method in general. its all about curing the ink correctly on the shirt. if its not cured correctly, it'll peel or crack. its just bad application.

[@whereintheworld333]

@@BigBrandoh Thank you for the detailed reply. I am now waiting on a $2300 refund. They've agreed they are the ones that made some mistake in the curing process. They will make good on it but as they are a small business as well... they don't have the funds right away.

[@LiveLaughLoveLashesLiveLaughLo]

this was nice to hear and really think about being the printer manufactory, glad i had chance to sit down and take a pause and listen. mahalo again for the review!

[@BigBrandoh]

very easy to get caught up in chasing the dream. hahaha happens to everybody. the voice of reason is "do i need more debt than i already have" people buy the machine in hopes of getting them out of debt. sometimes thats too much of a gamble.

[@tajfundobre]

ordering transfers from someone is good idea, but what if You/or Your client or few of them at once want something customized/or their own graphic in amount 3pcs or 1pc so it can be produced and shipped to them in two days - You must then order prints from company in bigger amount, wait to comply and shipment to You, press it, pack it ship it to client/s - it would take too long, so there are pros and cons of this idea for example. ps. thank You for Your video

[@BigBrandoh]

hey if you think 3pc orders is a good business justification to buy a $10k + printer. go for it. nothing wrong with that. knowing how you will make your money is the most important part. but letting your customer put a rush on your process with a 2 day turnaround is not a good business strategy. the client works around my schedule always, never the other way around. fold for a client once, you'll fold for the remainder of your relationship. if your a business you need to operate as a business. you dont buy something online and demand it be delivered next day right? you abide by their processing times and delivery times. so why should your business be any different? if you know your printer takes 2 days to process and it takes you 2 days to press, your turn around should be 5 days. not whenever the client feels like it hahaa.

[@tajfundobre]

@@BigBrandoh if You run an online shop, I work in e-commerce for few years now, 2 days shipment (at max) is a standard here in Poland, not sure how in USA, just sayin - Your idea is logical, I have my transfers ready for my "collections" but what if on Tuesday a client or few wants 10 bags with their logo/graphic (model is - my brand/graphics/collections and individual service) - one week of waiting is too long to wait to proceed the order, how to combine it? maybe some "cheap" dog/dtf printer for individual orders and ordering transfers for my collections. what do You think ?

[@BigBrandoh]

not sure if 2day turn around is a thing in America. but i dont operate that way. no print shops in my area work like that either. we set our production time to work with our schedules, not the customers. even for 1 t shirt, i dont offer 2 day turn around. but everybody runs their businesses differently. theres no right or wrong answer to this. just whatever works for you and your customers. thats all that matters. if you are looking for a cheap dtf printer you will get cheap prints. if quality of print is not an issue, by all means you can operate like that. but for myself, quality means more to me and my customers than convenience.

[@Uberdrakes-fr9xu]

I have been doing screen printing for a long time. You don't look 55 so I'm not calling you out about being there to see it all, but I HAVE been there to witness a great deal of it, "hands on", with transfers and you are pretty much spot on with your information, HOWEVER, There is a lot to be said about screen printing. Plastisol and water based ink's are pretty awesome and its hard to beat the levels of efficiency on one or two color designs, especially on light shirts that don't need to be flashed. I have shirts still around from 15+ years ago that have been through the wash hundreds of times that still hold up. Even correctly applied I have yet to see a transfer out preform screen printing durability. I have both and hands down screen printing lasts longer. That being said... How long do you really need to be wearing the same design before you retire it? My old concert shirts I will never let go. The one thing that you do not address in this video is the cost of ink, "The most expensive liquid on the planet!" DTF Printers require ink. The only thing I would ever use a transfer for is full color designs or multiple spot colors for black shirts. That's only because I own a manual screen printing press. Large Full color designs are gonna go through a shit ton of ink fast. Plastisol wins in this category cost wise, but, It does take a lot longer to print on a manual press. I have also used automatic presses in screen printing that print over 1000+ shirts with full color flashed on dark garments in one day. That is pretty hard to beat with transfers. There is also a point you made about transfers getting a bad name. That bad name honestly makes me reluctant to push that market. I try to keep them to a minimum and try to sell more light color shirts for the screen printing because I feel the level of "Cheap" associated with transfers makes it almost embarrassing to mention. I print a lot for companies in construction and they want, some demand, screen printed shirts over transfers. There is a big market for them though for people that really don't know any better and frankly don't care. Also you really don't know what you are getting if you order them from an outside source. If something is wrong with them you have to send them back and order them again. That's a real pain in the ass and has happened to me with a few different companies. Once you have the screens burned in screen printing, your only overhead is set up time on the press and you can change out ink colors for variation. You can apply puff ink, suede, metallic, glitter and other additives that make it very versatile. I just feel like this video feels like an attempt to push screen printing back when in fact it is still a leading contender and will be for many years to come. It requires a lot more skill and training but solidifies your place as a true craftsman in the trade.

I am also wanting to go to events and sell shirts and being able to press right there seems like a lot better quicker thing than having to farm it out and it will be there in 2 to 3 weeks.

[@infinityphotorob]

For me for full color I have really liked using Supacolor. The main thing for me is the fact it is hot peel, feels good, and seems to be holding up really well. Is it DTF?? The sample DTF stuff I have gotten from other vendors has had a weird feel to it. Almost like paper vs rubber. And some vendors test pieces have pulled up for me. But this could just be me? Also for my process cold peel slows me down. Hot peel is FAST for production.

[@BigBrandoh]

hot peel supacolor for the win all day long!!! supacolor is still a screen printed transfer. dtf is 100% digital transfer. gotta stick with what works for you. im the same way, supacolors quality and consistency is top tier for me. and hot peel is always the move

[@flagsnow]

I feel like I'm spending to much on transfers. Is there a cutoff on when I should just buy my own printer

[@RVincents]

I so agree. I have this in my field I am hair colorist and work with all chemicals. I also formulate and test products in my industry. I am also a photographer in my field. Nothing frustrates me more than people who don't perfect their craft and blame the product or equipment and then bad mouth the company. It is important to know the correct product and techniques for what you are doing. I don't rely on one method or product. We have to test and research... Also people judging transfers and not using a heat press... They have to expect issues with and easy press or iron. Really trashing a company or method without properly testing or contacting the company to help troubleshoot... It's not right. Do your part for your company and art.

omgggg thank you for this video!! people out here pressing dtf with cricut easy presses. i tell my customers who buy my transfers yea you can press it with a cricut but i definitely wouldn't sell those, only personal use. i always recommend a pro heat press

[@Centermassfilms]

I disagree, film printers could be using cheap ass ink.

[@coryaddis]

Appreciate your honesty on this.

[@lynnlane9468]

I think dtf printers are the next generation in t shirts but expensive.I want to get a heat press for t shirts.I can actually buy dtf transfers cool

[@CrystalEscobar-m8m]

I think everything you said about digging a hole and debt was @ me 😭 I needed that tho! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@jimwillis2811]

bruh, you saved me thousands today, appreciate it. I did buy a Ricoma MT-1501 single-head embroidery machine to start today. I was going to buy everything today but after listening to you and think it's make sense to buy the transfers and not the actual unit. thanks again bud.

[@64018]

New to this DTF stuff and your video has so much value!

[@trickanomatry]

can you use dtf to print on mylar bags or boxes?

[@BigBrandoh]

not sure cuz i dont have a need for that but if you test it out, let me know how it goes

[@trickanomatry]

@@BigBrandoh i dont own one yet ill be purchasing one soon for my merch but was wondering if thats an outlet i can explore the big companies that make packages in the 420 space wont share that type of info only machines i know are like 8000+ but feel that it could be made w something like dtf if done right

[@BigBrandoh]

ahhh for those 8th bags. most guys print directly onto those bags. and your right, those printers are crazy expensive. i dont think the bag can hold up to the heat to apply dtf. but maybe you can look into big ass stickers that would cover the whole bag. you can get it die cut and they'll cut out the window space in the middle. look up G6 Customs on IG they print all my stickers

[@Jussnellxo]

Thank you for this cause I’m like I need to get this printer but I rather get it from someone else

True facts

[@BigBrandoh]

thanks for watchin. i hope this vid finds the people that really need to hear it. heat pressing is in a good space right now. would hate to go backwards now. also, hope some people see this and dont go into debt chasing the dream.

[@mukashkaris5601]

I loved your content and especially because I experienced what you pointed out. I had issues with my dtf transfers after washing and after reaching out to the dtf printing company they asked the process I use to press and wash. That's when they corrected and gave me instructions that so far improved the quality of the press. I also like that you've been in the business for long and how you used your past experience to compared vinyl changing overtime and the mistakes people made then. It makes so much sense when you explained it that way.

[@ddova2744]

What did they recommend for better quality on the wash?

[@LadyxIf]

Really glad I found your video. I started making tees and let them be printed but stumped on high moq’s for being a starter in the bussiness. And I wanted to sells more variety in designs… so I bought a heatpress and am thinking of working with supa colour. You reviewed them and thought they were good. Still you opinion?
