Do you find that DTF is as thick and uncomfortable as the internet says? In my samples I found DTG to be super comfortable but it just looks cheap and like it’s going to flake off and disintegrate quickly…is DTF at all comparable in wearable comfort?

[@antonyol.2489]

Dude...after several hours of my own research (people ALWAYS do your own research and don't be lazy 'bout it) this sounds like it certainly is a game-changer. See, I'm an old school "real" printer (printing press and ink-mix specialist) and designer who never chose screen printing, etc., as a serious second income project. At the age I am now, I'm finally impressed with where technology has taken us with this and thinking of jumping in feet first thanks to you!

[@Crackyrapswell]

@Lazy If you spend $7k total on the oven, printer, 500 transfer sheets and 500 shirts, you have 500 finished shirts for $7k. Sold at $14 a shirt to break even, every shirt after that costs about $3.50 to make, so you're quadrupling your money at $14 a shirt (which is a fairly low price for custom shirts). You might have to bump it up to $16-17 if you're using nicer blanks. Scared money don't make money. Your username checks out for sure.

What’s the best way to make good quality shirts? Iv got shirts that are like 20 years old and hold up fine. Only shirts I ever ruined were with too much detergent or stuff from lucky brand

[@bethalvarez6956]

I’ve seen a lot of videos where people say that the DTF ovens are good in the middle of the transfer but they don’t get all the way to the edges so a lot of people have actually switched to countertop toaster oven‘s or convection ovens and they say it’s much better Not to mention the price difference you can get one for $150 instead of 399 and up plus shipping I’ve seen them up to $699 for a little plug-in DTF oven like that. And with the toaster ovens that are a third of the price they don’t have the issues with the edges not getting hot they do recommend you put us a monitor in there that you can see so you know exactly what your temperature is at

Dude. This is the first video I've seen of yours & it was awesome. Love the flow & content. I am assuming all the art in the background is yours & I love the style. I started airbrushing in malls in the 90s. I got into sublimation in the early 2000s, then embroidery, then a screen printing. I always wanted a DTG. I haven't done anything in well over a decade & have recently started to airbrush again for my friends & family. I've recently thought about getting into clothing again & this may be the way to go.

[@ravereviews6853]

Nice video man. I make some band tshirts with a cricut cutter and vinyl. My problem is the amount people are willing to pay for printed shirts isn't worth the amount of time it takes to print them. It is if I'm just doing like a little logo that I can get 10x of the same on one cut. But these big graphics are time consuming and expensive plus there's the cost of the machines to pay back. I guess I'm underselling the service.

[@d-boyzeighteenhundred]

That’s the problem there’s so many people in the market making T-shirts with vinyl cutters nowadays unless you’re doing DTG or DTF Full color prints there’s not much room and you’re going to have to sell more towards a bulk style to make any profit whereas you’re only making a dollar or two per shirt and have to sell a large amount to make anything 😩

Just fyi, to buy 5 1-litre bottles of ink to refill the CISS ink system will run you about $400.00. Using any ink other than that particular brand voids the warranty.
