AWESOME! thank you so much!
This step has made a big difference in our sheet printing!
The video I been looking for. Do you know why I would get good nozzle checks but I seem to have vertical banding lines only when I do pink prints!
Hello there! Vertical banding (less common) can be a sign of misaligned print head. Let's also make sure none of the ink levels are low as well.
I had on a shirt with dtf printing on it I wore it took an off an threw it on a chair a few days when I came back to move the shirt I noticed a where the shirt was kinda folded the DTF cracked…. Any idea why
Hello, let's see here. What film/ink was used? How did you dry the melting powder to the wet print? What settings were used for application?
These variables will help us diagnose the root of the cause!
Hi I have the Pheonix 16x20 with the mat inside and I've been getting great results but I notice an inconsistency with spots near the middle or side middle that don't melt during the cure (184 F/60 seconds/air purifier on). I tried longer times with no luck; it only works when I rotate the sheet and put it in again. I would say it does this 6/7 out of 10 times. I've checked the sheets, the adhesive and the ink from the printer and they're all good. I've also checked to make sure it isn't from getting cold between sheets (opening and closing). Any tips on what I could be overseeing??
Hello there! When I have to whip up a dtf transfer sheet I have been using the following settings recently: 260F for about 40 seconds. As everyone's environment will differ/print size/etc testing is advised but I would give these settings a try on your next one!
Unfortunately, I seem to be experiencing a very persistent issue with ink boiling. I've tried to bake it for 5 seconds at 257 F. I've tried lowering the temp to 248 and 239 in the STS baking oven, but I still get this after baking for 140 seconds. I've tried baking at 120 seconds, but the powder doesn't seem to melt completely, so I increased the overall baking time. Please give me an advice. Do I use too much underbase for colored prints ? (60% in Kothari) PS. I almost never get this issue with Ecofreen white powder. Ecofreen black powder gives me trouble mostly. Thank you in advance !
Hello, if I were to run into this I would try a longer cure with less heat but always always do the quick 5 second dry before powdering. Are you using the black DTF powder to fight dye migration?
@@AAPrintSupplyCo Thank you so much for the feedback! I am using black DTF powder to fight off dye migration and also due to the fact we predominantly print on black garments. I do prefer how the white powder behaves, but I need to use mostly black powder :( Something else I am wondering about is if my powder could also be humid ?
@@DnBConsort you are so welcome, thank you for supporting the channel. Excess humidity can affect the performance of the powder so a dry, sealed bag for the powder will help as well as possibly silica packets. What printer are you running? In Kothari you can also try to increase the white layer in small amounts as a means to stop dye migration. This may allow you to use the white powder in place of black for a smoother result.
@@DnBConsort Also, if the black powder is from us we may want to put you in touch with our tech dept in regards to the issues to see what is happening. Here is the contact form to connect with them so you have it: aaprintsupplyco.com/pages/contact-us
@@AAPrintSupplyCo Thanks again for your reply ! I am running an Epson SC F2100, but I prefer the DTF technology, so I am not using it for DTG. The powder is stored in vacuum sealed bag, so I don't think its the humidity in the powder. I've tried different temperatures and timeframes for the oven, unfortunately to no avail. What I am thinking is the following, is it possible there is excess humidity somewhere in the tubing of the printer? Possibly due to insufficient shaking of the white ink, or too much shaking of the white ink, which could cause bubbling? I am just guessing at this point. What is strange is that I never faced this issue up until a few months ago and it is driving me crazy. I am not really happy with the STS oven, as it doesn't seem it heats the film correctly - after baking for 2 minutes, there are small patches where the powder did not melt, but it melted perfectly in the other areas. Weird..
Wow.
Yea man. It be like that.
Duly Noted....
