I always love the way you make your videos. simple and clean to watch. Love it!
Thanks 🙏
I have the same set up as you. Was wondering what setting on the vevor you use for a sweater. Thanks ahead of time. Great video, simple and straight to the point!
i've never done sweaters. i would imagine the same heat setting but more pressure as sweaters are thicker.
Great video!
are you considering DTF printers?
Hi thanks for the video. Is the press machine and the baking one included with the printer or you have to buy them separately?
they do have packages with the baking oven included. the heat press is separate.
great video
I had a sample shirt get shipped to me once from Digital HeatFX and the design of a bird on it cracked and peeled about 3 washes in. Are these transfers better now? How many washes do you think they are good for and can they handle normal washes? People don't special wash even their most expensive clothes.
did they send you a DTF sample or Laser transfer sample? We have shirts that were printed back in Feb or Mar of 2023 that have absolutely no damage to them. no cracks, no tears, no rips. They've been through the washer more times than i can remember. I would say over 10+ times easily.
VERY NICE VIDEOS BUT...... WHERE I CAN GET THE IMAGES??????
Etsy
THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR@@HaiTech
Happy New year to you as well!@@robertotorres733
Thank you very much!
Great video! Are the inks from procolored vegan?
i know it's water based ink. i will ask them about the vegan part.
Question if the white ink is runny what can I do to make it not runny?
turn the temperature setting higher.
I just got the pro color printed and need help on where to get designs to print? Can you create your own?
you can create your own or you can buy them premade
Can you make a video on how to print?
i will try! thanks
Hi. I`m thinking about starting up with printing on cloths +++ It looks like you are happy with the L1800 printer, do you know if thats the best model they have? And the heat presser, would you have gone for somthing else if "you" had the budget for it? Possibly which one?
Love your videos, easy to understand.
the best model they have is called the DTF Pro. it just prints faster because of the dual print head. image quality is probably very similar. When I use to print shirts professionally we used a heat press called Fusion IQ by STAHLS. The L1800 is probably the best option for single print head DTF printer.
Where can i find al this machines I won’t to buy it all
i have info in the description
Hey Brother... Great video, thanks for sharing this link from your previous video.
There are many companies overseas that manufacture/sell DTF machines... What made you choose Procolor over the other companies?
Procolored goes to trade shows. Some other brands I’ve seen use lower quality epson print heads and charge twice as much for their DTF printer alone. But you’re right there are plenty of generic brands, and some bigger brand name dtf printers out there. Procolored is not a perfect brand either. I would weigh your options according to price, quality, customer service and maintenance. Not in any particular order. Watch This Before You Buy a Procolored DTF Printer
ruclips.net/video/Fs8cLjYH-3U/видео.html
Thank you again! I saw your video on the Procolored printer from the link in your reply above.
I sent you a message after watching it and asked about the oven use after printing. You responded with an answer and a link to this video.
With all the companies and choices I want to make the best purchase. With these DTF printers It's not like I can drive over to Best Buy and return it if something goes wrong or I'm not pleased! 🤷🏽♂️😅
Great content brother... Continued Blessings to you and your family! 👍🏽🙏🏽
lol, you are absolutely right. you want to do a lot of research and maybe even talk to a representative from the brand directly before purchasing. here is procolored's return policy: www.procolored.com/policies/refund-policy hope that helps
love your videos, may i ask where do you get your designs?
etsy
@HaiTech Awesome, thanks for the reply, you're the best!
@@HaiTech Also where do you get your T shirts, they look really nice for DTF and I love the color selection you got
Hello
Can i print small prints on this printer? Basically tiny/small fonts
yes you can. if you watch my "DTF wash test" I had a butterfly shirt that had fine lines (butterfly antennae) and even after dozens of washes the lines did not peel, or even crack!
Hii🎉Thank you! Question: I purchased the file's from Etsy and how do I use the Procolored dtf printer for these? I am brand new to this. Please❤ Thank you!
the files will need to be in PNG format. you can easily import the files using the provided PRO RIP software.
hey @hai-tech, i want to start a clothing business and ive looked at alot of your videos and im wanting to know if you can make your own designs? take pictures from your phone and print the designs on clothing.
yes you can. if you want to print any photo, picture, clipart, then DTF is the way to go. You can take a picture with your camera, camera phone, import it into the software and print it.
Great video. You've got me interested on DTF Printers. I have a couple of questions though. How does the print feel on the fabric and how is the print quality after a few wash in a washing machine?
the print quality is amazing. We have shirts that have gone through 10+ washes easily and they still look just as great as it did fresh out of the printer. I'll have a video on wash test soon. The print feels really good on a shirt. it's not a clump of ink like screen printing. it's a thin later of ink. no cracks, no peeling at all.
Does the print lasting only 10 wash?
Great video, we see slight noise in the solid colors, is that common? Or are the colors really even, as when I stop the video that seems to be the case.
the noise could be from the camera or the compression from youtube. the colors are really nice and there's no noise or grain on the print when you look at it in person. there can be noise if you are importing a low resolution image
I meant our own prints, there was noise in it. But we think that it was due to the fact that the resolution wan't high enough. @@HaiTech
does the software print pictures and does work with apple os ?
yes it can print pictures. it will only work with Windows PC
Simple and Informative ....
Can we print on ordinary silkscreen pet film
honestly it feels exactly like regular screen printing film, but i have not tried it so i can not say if it works.
The L1800 says it’s 13 in but the roller is 11in can you print 13 in designs and is there a such thing as a 13 in roll or just sheets?
the roller holder can be adjusted for both 11 inch and 13 inch size rollers.
@@HaiTech thank you. Do you know if on the site I need to click American or China to order. The America say preorder. does it matter?
it doesn't matter. i've asked them about that and they said it still works the same even though it says Preorder.just click American if you're living in the US.@@MoThingsEmpire
hey bro do you have problems with alignment on the images?
No I don’t. What problems are you having
the white color doesn’t align with the color
Can I print this on a jogging pants to?
yes you can
Your link is not for procolored?
the amazon link was for Punehod, which is the same as Procolored. Punehod is the actual name of the company and Procolored is the DBA. if you buy from amazon there's not a lot of selection, and many times their newer units are on their direct website only.
Can you yell me the name of all your equipment you have
I always want to have a tshirt bussines but always was busy whit job
But now
I got replaced for a younger person and got fire😢d
i have them in the description as far as DTF printers. there's many aspects to a shirt business like consumables, heat press, etc. i am hoping to have a course up before the end of the year.
Awesome video! Where do you get the tshirts? what brand or type?
we use a variety of brands. we really like District by Sanmar.
Hi there. I can't get my images without a background. Is there a way to remove the background?
yes there are many ways to remove background. in order to have a transparent background the file needs to be in PNG format. you can use a software like Photoshop to remove the background. i personally use photoshop or Canva.
@@HaiTech great thank you. I figured out slowly that images should be in PNG 😊 thanks
wonderful
Hello, Love the vibrate color of your image. What are your color settings to get those vibrate colors? I have a L1800 Procolored DTF printer and my coloring be off.
ruclips.net/video/EEr3fYFIgnU/видео.html pause it at 56 seconds. you see where it says RESOLUTION? 1440x1440DPI
Hi Hai-Tech what brand ink do you use?
Isn't the white too low?
white is the easiest to clog. it's thicker than all the other inks. make sure to do a print head cleaning and nozzle check to see if there are any breaks in the lines. if you want the white brighter or thicker you can make adjustments in the PRO RIP software.
Does this printer also print stickers/decals? Also does it print quality stickers to go on cups, mugs, etc?
no, but procolored does make printer for that. i believe it's their UV printers.
Hello what kind of film is that
it's a film roll for DTF printers. they make them in 11 inch and 13 inch widths. length can go up to 200+ ft
Hi! Can I do glitter like the vinyl for some patterns? And where can i get the nice stickers like yours? Thanks in advance 😊
yes there is a glitter film you can buy. www.procolored.com/collections/direct-to-film-transfer-dtf/products/procolored-dtf-glitter-transfer-roll-film-11-8-inch-x-328-ft-fit-for-a3-dtf-printer
Is it compatible with a MacBook
windows only
Hello with the procolored l1800 im having trouble with bubble looking or dots after the first press. What causes that to happen? Also can you put to much powder or to little powder on the film?
you can't add too much powder, but you can add too little powder. too little powder can cause the print not to last and fall apart in the washer.
Hi I need help I just brought the new procolored oven and my oven won’t reach to 120 Celsius and it’s been on for hours what am I doing wrong?
what's the max temp that it's being stuck on? have you contacted Procolored support to see if they can help you troubleshoot?
@@HaiTech yes I figured it out thank u I maxed out at 135 for 250 seconds
@@HaiTech also do you kno how I can make my transfers feel softer instead of feeling like plastic I brought a t seal and it still feel rough. But others I’ve seen feel a lot softer. There a way to make it softer? Should I buy a different type of film, ink, and powder?
what brand ink, and powder are you using? film shouldn't make a difference as it's just a transfer sheet. i think it's softer and a lot less thick than screen printing, not as soft as Direct to garment but not very far off either. what gives it that feel is the powder. it should feel slightly like plastic, but a thin layer.
Hi. How I can remove the background ? Or I need to have the images without background ?
you would need to remove the background first before importing it into the PRO RIP software. you can remove background by using Canva.com or Photoshop
Your print looks like good quality, my pics are good quality but when bright over to procolor program it gets distorted, not sure why
what kind of file is it? when you say distorted do you mean the color is off?
@@HaiTech if I save a picture from Pinterest with good quality then take to procolored it comes out distorted. Also, now I’m seeing after press the image looks oily or shiny in the light
if you use a teflon sheet you may get a semi gloss looking print. i believe if you use parchment paper you will get more of a matte look. can you define "good quality". an image that is 800x500 that looks good on pinterest can look bad when you try to print 8 inch x 5 inch size.
@@HaiTech do you have an email I’d be able to send a pic to? After pressing there are spots on the print that look oily. Or have a shine
email is in description.
Hello, i have the RF1390, more or less similar to your printer. They recommend me to put the oven at 110 degree for 90 seconds, and press heater at 150/170 degrees for 15 seconds. However, sometimes the design doesn't stick, so i wanted to know if you think i should try with a higher temperature and more time with the press heater? thanks!
150 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius? 150 Fahrenheit is way too low. The oven at 110-120 Celsius is good. As for the time I would play around with the time. It’s usually 2-3 minutes for the oven. Also depends on the oven lol. As for the heat press it needs to be 320 Fahrenheit on medium pressure. Peel COLD. Procolored will tell you all sorts of random numbers. You’ll have to play around with the miners to get it perfect but those are what I use and they come out great.
@@HaiTech thanks for your reply, i was referring to Celsius. Now they asked me to try 130 degrees for 120 seconds. Will try it, maybe it will work better. I have bought the RF1390 2023 version with the oven 2023 version (from another supplier).
@@stephanfareast1900 got it. thanks for that info. yes try various settings to find out which works best. if your machine is another brand then i'm not sure because Procolored uses their own branded ink. matter a fact the ink is the only consumable that they require we buy from them. all other consumables can be 3rd party bought. procolored ink may have different heat settings than other brands. my procolored settings for the bake oven is 120 celsius (248 Fahrenheit). my press setting is 320 fahrenheit (160 celsius) medium pressure.
La Dft 1390 cual es la Diferencia 1800 ?
Is it possible to combine it with the seismo 11
Hey, love the videos. I’m having difficulties printing my designs inputted. After clicking RIP, it just says failure under status. Any thoughts?

I just ordered a Procolored A3 L1800 2 days ago....In your experience, how long to the printer take to print an image on average?
ruclips.net/video/Fs8cLjYH-3U/видео.html at 9:10 i did a bunch of test prints and timed them. it really depends on the size of your prints
Do you know what size width u can go with it?
A3 can print up to almost 13 inches. now if you buy a roll of film it's about 320 ft+ you could turn your design sideways and now instead of 13 inches wide you could print 320ft wide and 13 inches length.
@@HaiTech thank you.. i didnt even think about turning it sideways.. 🙌
I like ur design
Where can I buy ?
etsy
How do you gauge “medium” pressure?
some heat press have numbers that will let you know. if yours does not you can typically feel for it. when you press it and it takes some effort to close and a bit of strength/effort it's probably medium and good. if it takes no effort at all and you can probably do it one hand, it's probably too light. try different settings without the shirt. try it on light setting first. then try it on the heaviest setting (usually by turning a knob). now you'll get a feel for heavy and light. just do something in between that and you'll get something close to medium. hope that helps.
@@HaiTech dude that was awesome that helped a lot, I am new to your page and videos in general but your recommendations saved me some headaches and I appreciate you. Thank you for this informative response much love and appreciation to you. Keep doing what you do!
Which model of Procolored DTF Printer are you using?
L1800 a3. Not the upgraded version.
Thanks, the product is very expensive here in Germany almost 3000€ @@HaiTech
Great video Hai! I have a question. Is it okay to switch off the machine over night and switch it back on the next day?
Absolutely.
@@HaiTech Hey Hai, is it possible to print double layers of white to make it more opaque on black color shirts? I have white text that is not bright white because the white ink is translucent rather than opaque. Thank you.
@@MrThayk There are 2 Nozzles for White ink. i wouldn't print double as the ink would probably run off. i would just add a good coverage of adhesive powder
@@MrThayk if your white is opaque then the nozzles may be clogged. do a nozzle check to see if it's missing any lines. in the PRO RIP software make sure both white nozzles are being used. if you have an older version of the software make sure you update to the latest version. then make sure you add a good coverage with the adhesive powder. medium pressure at 320 degree. PEEL COLD. do not peel warm or hot. latest PRO RIP software can be found here: www.procolored.com/en-de/pages/software-download
@@HaiTech Hello Hai, after doing everything above, I figured it out. My RIP --> Combination setting needed to be v1440x1440 DPI instead of the 720x720DPI I've been using. It prints much slower due to more ink usage but definitely worth it for colors to pop out on dark fabrics.
My prints were great, but now my colors aren’t smooth and come out almost grainy. Have you ever had this issue?
is the resolution of your image high enough? i have not come across this problem. if you are trying to print a low resolution image onto a shirt, the print will come out "grainy".
It seems like you can tread the shirt onto the lower platen of the heat press. Can you? @2:45
this heat press had the base under the lower platen that made it more difficult to thread the shirt.
@@HaiTech gotcha!
I’m having issues getting the image to link up on the screen with the film it’s self on the roller.
sorry i don't understand the sentence.
I have everything set up correctly but when I go to print it is telling me failure
this is on their website (www.procolored.com/pages/warranty-policy) if you have problems. they have a live skype chat as well and a number on that link.
Email: afterservice@procolored.com
Is there a way for not wasting so much paper between prints? I havent figured this part out, but even if i back up my paper roller some, i still feel like a ton of film is wasted
you can resize the image and strategically place them so that there's not a lot of "empty" or "blank" areas on the film. you could also watch to see where the printer starts printing on the film and adjust the film accordingly. there are buttons on the side of the printer that will move the film forward and backward.
@@HaiTech so if you're only printing let's say 3 images that are 3x3 inches, you would place them in a row and then do you downsize the canvas size before hitting print? I haven't used that job arranger program yet. I think my settings are 320 by 400mm on canvas size if I remember correctly.
are you using a roll of film or sheets of film? what size is your roller or sheet? if it is a roller and it's 13 inches wide then you could put your 3 images (3x3) in a row and print. press the forward button to move the film forward so that it's easier to cut. then use scissors to cut right below your print. then press the "backward" button and move your film back into printing position. are you using Pro RIP that came with your printer? hope that helps
Is there a cheaper option for a white ink
there are but i can't confirm how reliable and consistent the print will be with 3rd party inks as i personally have not used them.
Hello I just ordered this printer how can I see if they sent me the correct model? I ordered L1800 but I've seen videos where they've sent out the wrong model.
maybe email them and confirm that they're sending an L1800 model. did you ordered from Procolored or on amazon?
I have the same printer. The ink light is solid red any solutions to fixing that issue?
www.procolored.com/blogs/news/troubleshooting-common-issues-with-dtf-printing tried any of this?
Hey what do you do if your ink runs after your print is finnished? What does that mean?
heat setting is incorrrect. you know that number on the front right of your printer? what is it set at currently?
@@HaiTech yes it’s at 40
What type of over and press did you use?
i used a basic heat press from amazon lol
Are there any DTF printers that are wireless and compatible with IOS?
honestly it seems as though the apparel embellishment industry only use Windows. I've had an Epson F2000 DTG and it was windows only. Roland vinyl cutters, windows only. All of Procolored's DTF printers are windows based only at the moment as well. it would be amazing if it was mac OS compatible. all of Procolored's DTF printers are wired as well. thanks
How do you avoid your brown colors from coming out orange?
have you done a print head cleaning and then a nozzle check? when you do a nozzle check you if there are missing lines for each color CMYKWW then some of the colors may not be printing correctly. are you low on any of the inks?
Hi where did you buy ur procolored l1800 dtf
you can buy it from procolored's website. www.procolored.com/?ref=HaiandTerrie. i have a discount code in the description as well.
I have please a quastion how it calls the app in computer
i don't understand the question
Hi what brand dtf ink do you use?
well technically you could use any brand ink but I only use the one made by the manufacturer. 1: using other ink brands void the 3 year warranty. 2: the results i've had with the procolored DTF ink is vibrant and looks great. a set of 500ML bottles goes a long way
Hello I just received my procolor printer and I can't get the sizing and center right my images always print on the side and then end up getting off any suggestions
at the top right where you see the icon of 3 horizontal lines. it looks like a "menu" icon. if you click it you can switch from cm to Inches if it makes it easier. are you importing PNG files? once your in the RIP software and import an image you can see the "ruler" guide going across the top and another one going down the left side. also once an image is imported, at the bottom left you will see a rectangular screen that shows up which allows for you to change the Width/Height of the image. measure your film across and keep in mind that when you import an image into the RIP software that the design should not be wider than the film. example: your film is 11.7 inches across. when you import an image into the PRO RIP, just remember to keep the design under 11.7 in width! this video may help too: ruclips.net/video/EEr3fYFIgnU/видео.html
@@HaiTech okay thank you I will give that a try cause also when I do my printheads daily cleaning when I do the test print to make sure all of the color lines are there it's always off to the side and gets cut off
did you buy the roller version or sheets? your film may not be aligned. if you are standing in front of the printer, put the film in and make sure it's pushed towards the right side. if problem persists i would do a video call with the tech support. it's probably something simple
What ink do you use im getting ready to be in a position of first refill on my l1800
I use the original Procolored Ink. works great. that is one consumable i can't compromise.
10-4 thanks for the reply i ordered the 250ml ink from procolored
awesome. do you print as a side hustle or full time?@@Statikleoscamming
@@HaiTechstarted with Htv a year ago and got tired of being limited with design/weeding out Htv so this black friday i went dtf .......part time wanting to go full time
great to hear. yes although DTF is relatively new it looks like it's an industry game changer for now.
What kind of file does my image need to be?
PNG is best
how do you make the white pop
Make sure the print head is not clogged by doing a nozzle check. If the lines are not all there and you see gaps then do a head cleaning in the settings. During the print, in the Pro Rip software make sure that both White print settings are turned on. Also when you’re adding the adhesive powder make sure that you add enough to cover the whole image.
Hi there where can I find the setting for the white if don’t mind answering?
@@hectorm2100 it's in the RIP software settings. do you have the PRO RIP software that Procolored gives free with their machines?
@HaiTech yes sir the only setting I’m able to find are the one on the right that says template setting ,thanks for answering
i would get in touch with tech support and see if a setting was accidentally turn off or could be tweaked to make your white pop. mine seem to be vibrant. i've printed on black shirts with no problem. i've also printed on red shirts with no problems with the white and no bleeding of colors.
hi, friend i want buy dtf sticker from u big quaintity.
sorry, we don't do commercial printing
