Thank you SO much for this video. It's extremely helpful. I only have a normal iron to work with but this still really helped me

[@DTFSuperstore]

Glad it helped!

[@Dee_B23]

Love it! Very nicely done. Thank you!😀🖖

[@DTFSuperstore]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@larryeber]

Great video (as always)! You mentioned you can press DTF transfers more than once, If you have a heat press that is not large enough to cover the desired artwork area, can you combine transfers by pressing one transfer and then press an additional transfer increasing the size of the design?

[@DTFSuperstore]

Yes, you'll see us do that in an upcoming video you inspired. 😀

[@forreal7568]

love you videos guys!!!!!

Thanks for watching and commenting

I have a question: 1. What is hybrid print? is it another name for DTF? 2. What color do we need to avoid in design? 3. What is the best outline/font size for printing?

[@DTFSuperstore]

1. Not sure, where had you heard this term? 2. With the Mimaki there aren't too many you need to avoid, with traditional DTF printers teals and deep blues or reds. 3. Whatever is right for the design, we've been able to do lines as thin as 3-5 pixels. If you do that just make sure the choke is set very very low.

[@ryuzaki964]

@@DTFSuperstore I heard this term when I order from one of the online store who write on their description and claim use hybrid print, they said it is a new technology and latest printing technique. If it's not true, I hope you can make a video about this topic before it confuse more people.

[@duaputraambarjayafarm]

It just the marketing strategy ro confusing the customer bro, they just want to brainwash you that DTF machine they're selling are different ​@@ryuzaki964

[@larryfenix]

Why don’t you use the same method as screen printers? Create a pillow with a sunken groove for the zipper to sink into and level out the garment when pressing?

[@DTFSuperstore]

These standard pillows work great, no need to make custom ones.

[@TimothyAllenMadison]

Is there such a thing as non-teflon heat press pillows? Since I have pet birds in the house, I don't use anything teflon because if over heated it can quickly kill my birds.

[@DTFSuperstore]

We're not aware of anything like that...many heat presses use teflon as their protective coating for their platen. It's is a widely used product in the direct to film industry.

[@TimothyAllenMadison]

@@DTFSuperstore Thanks. First - I found a YT video on how to make heat press pillows using the fabric used for making ironing boards. Second - my heat press doesn't have teflon in it's construction at all, which is why I chose it.

[@DTFSuperstore]

@@TimothyAllenMadison thats great!

[@jayy-sims]

1:55 what if i have a pair of shorts and im unable to put the entire thing onto the platform like you did. what would you suggest doing with a pair of shorts with a zipper

[@DTFSuperstore]

use a combination of pressing pillow and shift things around until you get a nice press in all areas. DTF can be pressed multiple times without any ill effects.

[@jayy-sims]

@@DTFSuperstore how much would you all charge to heat press and dtf my design to the shorts if i were to send you a mockup. i already have the design on the parchment paper

[@DTFSuperstore]

Wow, thank you very much! Glad it was helpful.
