heyyyy been loving your content! seriously considering switching to prestige a3+ because of you.. Question though, Does the prestige require the tape at the top of the dtf paper to detect it like converted DTF printers do?

Hey there! For roll to roll DTF printing the take up reel will have an empty core for the finished transfers to be wound onto after drying. The easiest way we have found is to tape the end of the film to the empty roll core. Is that we are referring to?

So all i need to do is put the dtf design thing on the shirt where i want it then put parchment paper over and iron for abt 20 seconds and it will work?

Hello, in our testing with the film/ink/powder we carry that is how it worked. Results may vary, testing and confirming process is always advised before taking orders

@@AAPrintSupplyCo are there any substitutions for the powder bc I don’t have it

[@AAPrintSupplyCo]

@@David88484 The powder is essential for the DTF process; this is what allows the images to be applied to garments.

Did you use transfer powder?

[@AAPrintSupplyCo]

Yes, the hot melt powder must be applied to the print while still wet and we then cure the powder to the film with a heat source in order to create transfers
