I use to work for Avery Dennison doing graphics for NFL, Disney, World Cup Soccer, Foot Locker, Adidas and so on. We did the art for heat transfers and the biggest thing I hated about them is the feel of them on a shirt. It feels like a piece of plastic on the shirt and the bigger the design the worse it feels. Plus most people do not go by care instructions and if you dry them too hot then it will wrinkle like crazy and good luck getting it smooth again. If too high of heat you have the possibility of your design coming off since heat sticks it on and heat can take it off. I much prefer the DTG if I could afford it, but at the moment I am only able to do screen print and embroidery.
DTF is out now. It harnesses white toner and some DTG properties by printing a reverse white layer on top of the design to a film, and using polyurethane adhesive to bond the ink to the shirt. Can be used for a lot more substrates too.

When you said 40 washes what did you mean by that? Cause my common sense was saying after you wear it 40 times and washing it each time after it's worn the print will start fading or braking down?
Hi I bought Luminaris but every t-shirt I made after the first wash the print looks so bad like destroyed, why is this happening when I'm doing the same steps as you? I couldn't sell any t-shirt because of this.
Hi there! Instead of using lines as a vector file, rasterizing adds little dots (pixels) to the image which makes it easy for the printer to follow basic shapes and boundaries.
Hi Hilary, thanks so much for watching. You will need a screen printer to screen print shirts or other garments. You can learn more about the process in this blog > blog.ricoma.com/2021/06/04/printing-method-comparison/
I'm a little bit cofussed here . I like to know does this heat press mechine is only for polyester tshirts or they can be used also for cotton t-shirt s also please reply
The heat transfer method can be used to decorate many soft substrates such as garments and accessories of various materials, including cotton, polyester and more. It is also capable of decorating hard substrates such as ceramic, metal, wood and more.
Compared with HTV, DTF can print finer lines and will not be deformed after high temperature heat transfer. The effect after transfer is smooth, with good elasticity, stretch resistance and good washing effect. In summary, HTV and DTF are different in terms of production process, color, effect, and texture.

Hi there, thanks so much for watching. It really depends on your business needs. The DTG printer is more of an initial investment but it is more of a streamlined process, which makes it better for bulk orders. 2-step heat transfer with the Luminaris 200 White Toner Transfer Printer is less expensive but us more labor-intensive than DTG, making it more suited for one-off orders. Hope this helps!

I got a Epson eco tank 15000 what the best Ink to use for 2 step heat transfer
Hi there, we recommend for you to check out the inks that Epson is compatible with.
Very very very informative. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
can i use an inkjet printer to print the design onto the tranfer paper? and if so, what transparent transfer paper do u use?
This is the transfer paper we recommend: shop.ricoma.com/products/2-step-transfer-adhesive-media-kit-for-light-dark-textiles?_pos=1&_sid=7f123b1bc&_ss=r
Can you state the name of the A & B transfer and adhesive paper? And would the epson jet ink suffice?
You would have to reach out to Epson and check if it will work out
When you said 40 washes what did you mean by that? Cause my common sense was saying after you wear it 40 times and washing it each time after it's worn the print will start fading or braking down?
Yes, it will last you up to 40 washes, it also depends on how you wash the garment
@@ricomatv after that you saying the print will start breaking down?
Thanks very much
The 2-step transfer how long does it take to start fading?
Depends on your design and the way you wash it
Hi I bought Luminaris but every t-shirt I made after the first wash the print looks so bad like destroyed, why is this happening when I'm doing the same steps as you? I couldn't sell any t-shirt because of this.

Why would rasterizing vector art or set of smart layers lead to a more durable product?
Hi there! Instead of using lines as a vector file, rasterizing adds little dots (pixels) to the image which makes it easy for the printer to follow basic shapes and boundaries.
Henry is there a way to make a screen print with a printer and skip the screen machine

Great video and info, thanks!!
Thank you, Kay!
hi, what is the name of the sheets that are used?
oioi, qual o nome das folhas que se ultilizam ?
Simply-Peel transfer paper. You can find them on shop.ricoma.com
Whats the difference between heat transfer and DTF besides the fact that the transfer paper with dtf has to be dipped into powder. Why is that?
Compared with HTV, DTF can print finer lines and will not be deformed after high temperature heat transfer. The effect after transfer is smooth, with good elasticity, stretch resistance and good washing effect. In summary, HTV and DTF are different in terms of production process, color, effect, and texture.
Awesome thanks so much big help!
