This is very helpful. All i thought i was doing wrong, however seeing your vid now makes me confident on my next project prints.Ive tested on my prints and i love the soft feel 🙌
Thank you we try! We print the colour bar to make sure our CMYK prints continuously without any banding. The colour bar makes sure we don't need any channels.
Photoshop: Make sure you’re in CMYK mode, select artwork (ctrl + left click layer thumb), contract 1 or 2, go to channels window, add new spot channel 100% any color, name it, OK
You NEVER reuse the pet sheet !! ALWAYS use a piece of parchment paper over the print to soften it. Also no Teflon sheet. Just parchment paper and press. Comes out much softer feeling. What he did here is transfer the leftover ink to his Teflon sheet so it will show up on his next press. 16 inch parchment paper rolls are cheap at Costco !!
We press hundreds of shirts daily, we use the reverse pet sheet and get the same results as parchment paper. Evening using the PET film, You don't have leftover ink unless you are trying to transfer halftones or gradients. With parchment paper, it doesn't last long and will start to vein and crease after 4-5 presses. One wrong press with the veins will appear on your transfer and the shirt is ruined.
You are confused, dtf ink will not work like dye sub ink, it wont transfer, it will degrade and not print if anything. Show us an example then we will believe you. Sorry but this is an ignorant post
It doesn’t look as clean in my opinion, but really depends on the color. Might look ok on dark grays or Heather grays. Try the technique out yourself. As an artist, experiment.
You can do same process but the only thing you should do is to keep the black and delete white. There's plenty of videos where you can learn how to do it.
@@skrooge4186hi from russia, my friend! If you need any tips for dtf, I can help you with it! And for designs, you can try AI generated pictures like they did. Midjourney can help you with this.
Thank you guys

This is amazing . Thank you .
thank you i got it
Awesome!
Does anyone have the file? I am just getting started with this and would like it to do some testing. The link isn’t working for me. Thanks.
I love making halftones and the idea surrounding it, my only issue is printing non vectorized images, because of the pixelation of raster files
yeah, anything that is non vector poses an issue.
can you explain what are vectorized images?
@@babayaga9102 images made from shapes, not pixels
@@babayaga9102 I’d recommend that you google or RUclips “vectorized image”
hello, how add white spot chanel????
Photoshop: Make sure you’re in CMYK mode, select artwork (ctrl + left click layer thumb), contract 1 or 2, go to channels window, add new spot channel 100% any color, name it, OK
What if you want a different color Tshirt Eg Grey
Then you should create halftones instead. Black knockout is mainly for black shirts.

So does the halftone works if the T-shirt is not black in colour?
Works best in black. You can do it on white as well with selective color in PS. But in summary, it looks best on black shirts.

Bro, where do you get such cool drawings?
This one was an AI generated image. Feel free to download it from the video description.
Thanks for the answer. bro, please tell me some resource where I can find cool pictures
I'm from Uzbekistan, I want to start printing in dtf format. but I don’t know where I can find cool drawings
