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.

[@aryanarodriguez1362]

Yes! Unreal Custom Designs has the best transfers 🙌🏻 super fast turn around , great prices (the lowest I’ve EVER seen) and the customer service is top tier 🙏🏻.

[@aryanarodriguez1362]

Please reach out to unreal custom designs 🥰 or even myself 🙌🏻

Just getting restarted in the t shirt business and DTF has been such a blessing. Love your video and your energy. Thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@whiteflameforjesus]

After researching for a while, you made it so clear and now I know how I’m starting! I love your christian designs 💕

[@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!

[@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

[@leslieramm4754]

@@TheMonogramMompreneurcan I please ask if Ninja is who you still are going with? I’m needing to get some samples and wanting to support a small business and they are reputable.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@wafaael-hage6035]

Thanks for the informative video. I was wondering if you could share where to find that ruler you used for measuring the print on the front chest area?

[@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!!

[@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

[@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?

[@1Piasek1]

Really useful video. Thank you❤

[@MicheleJones-u7x]

How long do you keep the heat press down on the t shirt also how long does it need to cool down before peeling the film off

[@konaskreations]

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

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

You are so welcome! thanks for being here!

[@walt7197]

Hi, great video, question, where I can buy the plain t-shirts/hoodies in a wholesale price to start my small business and what kind of tshirt and quality you recommended, I heard like guildan .. can you please explain us ... thank you !

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

For wholesale shirts and sweatshirts we use S&S activewear ! Without a wholesale/resale license : jiffy shirts! In our business we use Gildan Softstyle , Comfort Colors and sometimes Bella Canvas shirts! Gildan softstyle is less expensive and we like the quality!

[@walt7197]

Thank you so much for the information, I will start my own business because of you !!!

[@chriswessels5678]

Great video! Question.....where did you make the design?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I bought the designs from Etsy, and to make the gang sheet I used the gang sheet maker in ninja transfers to make the gang sheet!

[@NOOOOGO]

How did they washed?

[@Infinity2025-0]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm just starting out with laying down some images on Ninja Tranfer Gang Sheet. I like the Sample Transfers I got from them. Im using Creative Fabrica images. They have some wonderful images there. Plus i have Kittl to work with as well. Many blessings to you 🙏😇.

[@rosiemartinez2090]

Thank you so much for your video I really enjoyed it. I have a question for you which brand of shirts do you use?

[@cindyrios777]

I really liked your flowered peach and green t-shirts were lovely. Can you tell me where you got them from? TY

[@starrjones-l6d]

Where do you get the shirts and does it matter what material for the dtf?

[@PattyToufanidis]

What heat press are you using)

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@KarenArcher-pk4cx]

Love this!!! Thank you!!

[@Mariee1106]

Hey Ashley, How was the wash test ?

[@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??

[@mabmindz]

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

[@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.😬

[@orlandovelez3105]

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

[@babygyrlnj]

Last month I tried this company out and they messed up my order, they did reprints that they said would take 2 days and took 5 ( customer said forget it & took the shirt with missing words). Now it's christmas and they did the same thing, messed up a customer's order and my family's order for gifts. Thank God Jiffy shirts could save me with REAL 2 day shipping for free!! But I still wasted money with ninja( 2 day shipping $22 took 5 days)!! Shop around 1st people- I should have....

[@janinet1951]

I Am brand new to this. I'm waiting for my heat press to arrive in January. Could you please speak to design that you put on the gang sheet. He said that you get some on etsy. Would you please tell me how to search for that. And you also design your own could you tell me how you do that. Thank you. I subscribed to your channel after watching this video.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Hi! I bought a big bundle of designs from Etsy a lot of the designs I have in this video are here: rstyle.me/+PPSq6RdvdIhkaDsik8CtOA (affiliated link). When we design our own we use a website called Canva. You can create SVG's and PNGS using that website! Excited for you to get your heat press!

[@shauneriver3973]

how do you know what size you need for a shirt

[@ninjatransferss]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@justanotherreseller351]

how much was that entire sheet of images?

[@susannarducci3350]

Can I put them on canvas too?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

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

[@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

[@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 ❤

[@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.

[@alfonsoperez-bu3nh]

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

[@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.

[@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

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.

[@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!

[@justanotherreseller351]

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

Where do you get the shirts and does it matter what material for the dtf?

[@starrjones-l6d]

Where do you get the shirts and does it matter what material for the dtf?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

We get our shirts from S&S Activewear and JiffyShirts. I don't believe it matters what type of shirt it is, we have used on cotton, cotton blends and dry fit sports shirts!. This is directly from Ninja Transfers website:" DTF printing works exceptionally well on light and dark fabrics and is compatible with cotton, polyester, and blends." Hope this helps!
