This was extremely helpful, thanks! 🙌🏾
Thanks for the great info
Absolutely! We're always happy to help out
Are you able to do puff prints? Trying to work out a small scale setup and what I need to get started
Absolutely! We have puff screen printed transfers that sound like exactly what you're looking for: www.transferexpress.com/heat-applied-transfers/puff-screen-printed-transfers
Your goof proof vs dtf example at 16:00, not sure if it is a lighting issue or a definite difference in whites but the dtf has a vintage look in the white. Not pleasing
Great observation! The difference in color is intentional: the artwork was originally designed for DTF with the off-white to appear more vintage (as well as the gradients and multiple colors in the design). Since it was not a stock color of plastisol ink we modified the art to white for the screen printed version (which is very bright comparatively on camera).
When I use the Screen Printed Transfers what temperature should my heat press be on?
Our Goof Proof screen printed transfers apply at 365 degrees, for 4-10 seconds (depending on the ink colors in your design) You can learn more and see the full detailed application instructions (and videos) here: www.transferexpress.com/heat-applied-transfers/goof-proof-screen-printed-transfers
Can you shoot me the brand of those stretchy black tees you have in this video or do you sell them.?
These Tees were both printed on the American Apparel 1301 Tees, We do sell them as well: www.transferexpress.com/apparel/item?id=1301 (you may need to login/create an account to see pricing)
Anyway we can see these combined in one garment?
Are you looking to combine the two styles in one print or just see a closer side-by-side comparison?
We'll send you samples to compare yourself for zero cost to you: www.transferexpress.com/marketing-tools/free-samples
I just posted some detail comparison shots over on instagram too: instagram.com/p/C6Je6k7LSs8/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
I was thinking more of a combination of both styles.
For example, the text (one color) be goof proof and the illustration (multicolor) UltraColor.
Requiring two presses and aligning the prints together for a similar finish or end result on the garment might not be worth the added time (and possible cost increase at lower quantities), Just printing it all in DTF would be easier. However, combining DTF prints together with something that adds a special effect that Direct To Film can't do, would be pretty cool! Kind of like how Jenna shows DTF with a glitter finish in this video: ruclips.net/video/1GxbMl2HY9o/видео.html
I just dont want my customers to feel like its plastic on the shirt.
Screen Printed Transfers like the Goof Proof transfers we show here will feel like real screen printed ink. Our Ultracolor Max transfers are some of the lightest feel DTF on the market thanks to our proprietary inks and coupled with the negative space in the design create a soft hand feel that is comfortable to wear. Keeping negative space in the designs like we detail in this video on how to make better DTF prints can help: ruclips.net/video/NkL4md46FtE/видео.html
We'd love to send you no cost samples to try both types of transfers and compare yourself to have confidence in your quality (choose "Samples & Success Guide" for all of the transfers): www.transferexpress.com/marketing-tools/free-samples
