@@adaraerela3477 Well some gets stuck to the paper but a light brushing will knock it off. But remember this only works well on whites. Comes out too dark on colors but fantastic on whites
love the video. watched and cant wait until I can get a sublimation printer (Wife says: not now wait until Christmas. Me in a little kids voice: I don't wanna wait until then I want it now Sticks out bottom lip and crossed my arms still didn't help lol). spent two hours going through the freebie section and almost filled up my hard drive. You guys are awesome.
I have been so frustrated trying to get this to work and Finally got it to work. The printer MUST put out wet ink print or it doesn’t work. My printer was the issue. When I saw a video telling people how to adjust their printers ink output and I adjusted mine that’s when I finally got it to work 😊❤
can you use this hack with sublimation paper? I can't get my Epson 2850 printer to feed the DTF sheets and print on them. I will only feed it straight through. I tried taping it to copy paper and if it catches, it will only print a tiny blip of the design.
Quick question, I have an epson that has been converted over to sublimation, with this new technique will it actually have white in the design?? I know my printer doesn't print white so I was curious as to how the white areas will be white. Thank you :)
Hi Rosa! For the black shirt, the black DTF powder is used. We have that video here: ruclips.net/video/fy0oMV7g0GA/видео.html&lc=UgxmR1LlaF8L6zknAih4AaABAg 🙂- Dawn
Hi there! With many of the pet films coming in and out of stock I would recommend finding another on Amazon with great reviews as well as completed project photos from other Crafters so you can see that their product turned out the way you would want your own too as well! - Dawn 🙂
I have been trying this and every time I heat the design to melt the powder, it gets tiny squiggles in it. This transfers to the shirt. Has anyone else had this problem? I’m thinking about trying a different brand of dtf powder to see if it will help, but it’s $30 for each powder, so it’s getting kind of expensive. Help!
GREAT video. I tried and it worked BUT on the film (only) I have small lines on my design. Any suggestions on why? It doesn't do that with just the sublimation print. PS I have a Epson 15000. thanks. And great video again.
Hi Tina! Just to be clear, you are noticing small lines within your design? If you can, would you mind sending a picture in to mail@designbundles.net? We can get a better idea of what's happening if we can see it! 🙂
When it comes to sublimation you should not need to put paper in between the shirt. If your shirt is bleeding the ink through, your sublimation printer is putting out too much sublimation ink.
I just watched your black powder video. My question is can these be pressed onto dark garments? Or does it still need to be white to fill in for white parts of your image?
Hi there! If you are using a darker fabric, you can use the dark powder. The white powder will melt so it won't fill in any white parts of your design. - Dawn
Hi Kilah! Have you ever considered a print on demand service if you are filling many orders? Lots of our designs offer the additional licensing as well as our Gold Level membership (which includes the POD add on for ALL Plus Hub purchases). Let us know if you have any questions!

Hi there! That will work with the powder that we feature in the video, the purpose of the powder is to be able to sublimate on 100% cotton rather than a poly blend! - Dawn 🙂
Hi there! We haven't had much success on darker shirts, but we would recommend an alternative which is to sublimate on white htv or matte htv on the darker shirt - Dawn
I keep getting a paper jam on my sub printer. I am taping the DTF transfer film to a regular piece of paper but it isn't taking it correctly. Any tips?
what type of printer are you using to print your image i have a epson et 15000 printer and i can't get it to pull my transfer sheet thru it jams every time
Awesome Video. My issues with DTF film are the roller marks after printing. Can’t answer for the graphic film. But, I have two Epson’s printers converted for sublimation and another Espon Supercolor 170 made for sublimation, all three leave roller marks on the DTF film. I have tried bundles of different types of DTF film and no luck. Plus, I had witnessed many DTF hacks on RUclips where you can see roller marks and it is not being discuss. The reason for roller marks is because the inks (Sublimation or inkjets printers not converted) don’t have time to dry during the printing process using DTF Films. DTF film made of clear plastic are not designed for converted sublimation printers or even the sawgrass brand, I had this printer too. DTF printers that are made for direct to print ($$$) are designed for those types of films. The rollers on a DTF printer are positioned in a certain way not to affect the prints as it moves outward from the printer. Where a converted inject printer or sawgrass for sublimation, the rollers roll over the wet ink as it pushes the DTF film out of the printer leaving roller marks. It may not happen with the first print, but it will happen with second prints. But, with sublimation paper the ink is dry before reaching the main front rollers. No different then copy or printing paper. Although your video didn’t show roller marks, I will guarantee anyone else giving this a try will run into the same issues I experienced. I think anyone that converted or purchased a sublimation printer should just stay with sublimation and don’t wast time and money on this hack. Sometimes hacks maybe too good to be true. Either way , your channel is awesome 😎
Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to explain the roller marks. We've had customers that have mentioned them as well so certainly aren't alone! - Dawn
I like to prewash because of the chemicals used in making the shirts and it also takes away some of the stiffness of the shirts. Don't use fabric softener because you don't want any excuse for the image don't to attach to the shirt.
Can you please do a comparison on using dtf powder with sublimation vs using htvront clear vinyl for sublimation? I’m curious how well the clear vinyl holds up after many washes and how well dtf hack holds up after many washes. Basically which holds up better. Thanks! I love your videos, I’m learning so much!
Hi, Once you pour the powder on the wet print do you have to press it right away? I wanted to do a couple of prints on one paper but can only press on item at a time. Thanks
Hi Marjorie! If you are going to be pressing right away, there isn't a need to cure the powder. However, if you are going to be printing, adding the powder, and then waiting to press, we would recommend curing the transfer as to not lose any of the powder off the design - Dawn 🙂
We haven't tried on wood yet but are working on a wood sublimation video now!! Make sure you subscribe to the channel so you are notified when it comes out! - Dawn 🙂
I would love to use this technique, but I need to print white, which my sublimation printer doesn’t print 😞 What do I need for white colors such as Santa’s beard or hat?
Hi Kellie! Two suggestions - First, you can leave that part of the design transparent and as long as you are using a white shirt, it will be white! Second, you can sublimate on white HTV to add white on darker shirts! - Dawn 🥰
well i finally got my stuff and printed one seen lots of black lines going through it. yes i cleaned the head nozzzle and stuff printed another and the same thing happened. ugh i don't know why its happening. doesn't do it with my normal print. hopefully someone can help me out .or some Nonna is not going to get a sweatshirt

I am seeing pizza wheels any ideas what to change? Changing print setting doesn't seem to help. I'm using cosmos ink in an ET-15000 with CenDale DTF Transfer film. Maybe it's the film?
Hi Mandy! We've had customers share two tips that worked for them. First, it was to slow down the printing. Second, if you are printing on some photo print settings, the ink can take longer to dry due to the layer thickness it is printing. Try the ‘plain paper’ which is much better suited to the surface it is printing on! - Dawn 🙂
@@DesignBundles Thanks so much for the upate! I've also found an option in my Epson print properties under the maintenance tab->extended settings. You can adjust the print density. I've been playing around with it and getting some much better results. I did try other paper type settings with no luck, particularly when using the large format option for the large format sublimation film. My et-15000 seems very particular about paper thickness, I don't know if it's just my printer or what!
Crystal I don’t have a DTF question but I do have a sublimation printer question. Currently I have an Epson WF 7840 Thst has been converted to sublimation, the chips are costly so I was considering downsizing to the Ecotank 2850 to eliminate having to keep purchasing chips when the ink needs to be refilled. I have been researching the sawgrass printers and was wondering if you have any suggestions. I know the ink is expensive for the sawgrass and not suRe how many prints approximately can be printed before needing more ink. Any help that you can offer is most appreciated.
Connie I have been using the sawgrass for years and the ink will last for what seems like forever If you can afford it I would definitely get one its worth the investment
I have been using the epson L3111 for two years now for sublimation without any hassles. Its a tank printer so there are no chips or anything to be replaced. When I bought the printer I bought the sublimation ink seperate as it is a an ordinary ink jet printer, did not put the ink in that came with the printer but put the subli ink. Its been 2 years now that im still using the same bottles I bought and I print alot of sublimation and have done alot of tests and trials as well. Highly recommend that little printer its dynamite.
Hey so I have tried this out and I love it! But when I do it, there is either powder still left on it or there is lint and the powder is transferring on it making it all weird looking. Any advice to making this stop?
@@DesignBundles yes I am. I was told that it was the powder. So I retried it and again it’s the same. I pour the powder on it (kind heavy) and then shake it off. And I used a brush around the sides. Someone also told me you should not see the powder on it when curing. I left it to cure for like 30 seconds at 200-300 degrees and still saw the powder. Am I putting too much powder on it?
I also tried this hack with my Sawgrass 800. I used the DTF transfer sheet and added the taped sheet of paper. Some of the prints had ink smearing. Any printer settings I need to change?
I have an Epson 2760. I purchased DTF film for Epson and all DTF printers. It came with white stickers to help with pulling film. Now with that resolved, it prints only about an inch and a half them pushes the film out but not releases it. I even went and used the Asub printer settings and still barely a 2 inch print. Any thoughts?
Hi Melissa! One of the tricks Crystal uses is to tape the DTF paper to a regular sheet of paper. Can you give that a try and let us know if that helps? If not, please send an email to mail@designbundles.net and we can continue to troubleshoot with you! - Dawn 🙂
I'm having issues and not sure what else to try. I printed using Welacer brand dtf film using my Sawgrass printer. I used Godora transfer powder and let it cure for about a minute and then pressed using my cricut easy press that was set to 385 for 20 sec on Gildan 100% cotton t-shirt. I did a cold peel and pieces of shirt would peel off and the shirt felt flaky. It was suggested to let the powder cure for 3-5 minutes so I let it cure for 4-1/2 minutes and repeated the process and when i did the cold peel the whole design came off. I have know idea what to try next. Any suggestions?
Hi Sandra! You may want to reach out to the dtf film brand and see if they can make a suggestion about press time or temp. Do you think it could have been the pressure? You seem to be doing all of the right things! - Dawn
@@DesignBundles hi thanks for getting back to me, I did actually order a different brand of powder and film and they are the same brand-name so if it doesn’t work then apparently I must be doing something wrong 🤪. I was so excited to do this technique and now I’m skeered lol. I will see what happens when the new stuff arrives. Thanks again. Sandra
Hello, I use a translator. I'm French. I live in Guadeloupe. Are the products offered good for sublimation? I use sawgrass. Everything is written in English and I do not understand the description of the material. Can you tell me more ? This is not a TDF print? Thanks
Hi Tracy! The design itself has a beige tint to the ghosts as seen here so it isn't a true white: designbundles.net/lilypixels/1999714-stay-spooky-halloween-sublimation-png?ref=XGuixP - Dawn 🙂
Did the hot peel look as vibrant as the cold peel? Trying to figure out why anyone would want to cold peel if it is such a hassle to remove the extra little pieces. Thanks!
Hey Kelley! We've reached out to the DTF brand used in the video and the hot peel film is more suitable for large patterns such as the front chest and back, while the cold peel film is suitable for thinner lines such as the back collar and letters. - Dawn 🙂
Hi Michelle! The powder melts and is what creates the bond from the design to the fabric. If you put too much, it may not adhere as well. We can test this out on different fabric colors in our upcoming videos to see the results. - Dawn
I've listened to other crafters for awhile now. Your teaching style is superior. You include alot of information unlike other crafters. Thanks
So does the powder only adhere to the ink?
@@adaraerela3477 Well some gets stuck to the paper but a light brushing will knock it off. But remember this only works well on whites. Comes out too dark on colors but fantastic on whites
Thanks so much 😊 We're always happy to help! -Brittany ❤️
Has anyone tried to cook it in the dtf oven like regular dtf? I wonder if that makes it even better
The cold peel colors look brighter than hot peel.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support ❤️
What settings should I have on print manager? Polyester or cotton?
Can you do a wash test and let us know how it worked after 10 washes or so? Choosing between DTV or DTF.
That's a great idea!
Waiting on wash test. I really want to try this
They wear off after 2 washes. There’s a reason this isn’t an advertised method.
waiting on that wash test also

Any tips on a bit of edge pepper bleed in the print from the ink and powder ?
What substrate settings do you use for the sawgrass SG1000
what settings do you use on the sawgrass printer? substrate?
I’ve seen videos where they recommend you wait 90 seconds to 10 minutes before applying the powder. Do you think that’s too long?
can you use this hack with sublimation paper? I can't get my Epson 2850 printer to feed the DTF sheets and print on them. I will only feed it straight through. I tried taping it to copy paper and if it catches, it will only print a tiny blip of the design.
Hope did it do after washing
Am I correct at assuming you can't do this on black or any dark color? I have tried a couple times and it looks like one stuck on piece of film.
Yes unfortunately you can't do it on black. I tried it in this video, take a look at the result. - ruclips.net/video/fy0oMV7g0GA/видео.html
What heat press would you recommend for a beginner?
The Cricut easy press or the Stahls A2Z
Would this dtf method also work for the Libbey glass tumblers or a plastic tumbler for a kid?
Does this feel like sublimination or does it feel like vinyl or DTF when doing your hack?
Oh my goodness I love this technique, this can save you soo much money, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely!!
What are the setting on the sawgrass for printing?
That’s what I came to ask.. under paper what do we select 🤷🏼♀️
Polyester, vivid, true pix classic
How was this after the wash

Quick question, I have an epson that has been converted over to sublimation, with this new technique will it actually have white in the design?? I know my printer doesn't print white so I was curious as to how the white areas will be white. Thank you :)
They won't... No white ink means no white
It will show as the color of the shirt
Apply clear htv then white htv then sublimation
Your design will not have white since it is a sublimation process. - Brittany
Can i ask if you got the white letters on your blue t-shirt using sublimation and white htv ?
Does this process work on dark cotton?
No. It’s still not printing white. Sublimation is pretty useless on apparel that’s not white without a tons of prep and manipulation.
No, unfortunately it does not work on dark fabric. - Brittany
I have printed several and I am getting roller marks from my printer. What do I do to fix that?
Hello Carmen,
What type of printer are you using?

Stupid question I have Epson printer that I use to sublimate, can I use the printer to do DTF hack? Or do I need to purchase DTF printer? Thanks
You can use your epson 🎉
You would use a sublimation printer for this 🙂
I is saw a tutorial where they did it on black I did not see thr printing process so I’m assuming it was done in high end professional printer ?

It's such a cute design isn't it? 😍
So I print on the DTF paper with my sublimation printer ink. no need for other specialty ink?
Thats it sublimation printer, DTF film and powder
Do you no longer need to put paper inside the shirt?
When it comes to sublimation you should not need to put paper in between the shirt. If your shirt is bleeding the ink through, your sublimation printer is putting out too much sublimation ink.
How did you prevent the roller lines on your paper that smears the ink?
Honestly I don't know how its possible I call it magic its s o cool
I get roller marks also
@@72sidekick with DTF you have to remove the rollers. But maybe it's because she is using 2 sheets.

Sublijet

Connie I have been using the sawgrass for years and the ink will last for what seems like forever If you can afford it I would definitely get one its worth the investment
Thank you 😀
I have been using the epson L3111 for two years now for sublimation without any hassles. Its a tank printer so there are no chips or anything to be replaced. When I bought the printer I bought the sublimation ink seperate as it is a an ordinary ink jet printer, did not put the ink in that came with the printer but put the subli ink. Its been 2 years now that im still using the same bottles I bought and I print alot of sublimation and have done alot of tests and trials as well. Highly recommend that little printer its dynamite.
Will this work for dark color shirts too
Unfortunately it does not work for dark fabric. - Brittany
This is my weekend project!
Yaaay ! Let us know how it turns out ! ❤️
Can I use my HP inkjet printer for DTF. Do I need a programme like circuit do?
For DTF you need a sublimation printer unfortunately.
Hi Crystal! I tried this today and I think I might have over cured my design, is that possible? Some of the image stuck but some did not. Please help!
Hi Debra. Do you think it could have been the pressure or temperature? - Dawn
I’m not sure. I did notice my heat press was having issues, so maybe so. What should the time and temp be? Pressure?
Any idea why mine is smearing first couple inches and then does perfect. I’m using sg500
Mine also, has there been any ideas what to do so there's no smearing?
What are your settings when printing? - Brittany
Hey so I have tried this out and I love it! But when I do it, there is either powder still left on it or there is lint and the powder is transferring on it making it all weird looking. Any advice to making this stop?
Hi Braea! Are you shaking out the excess before you heat? Also, we suggest using a link roller before applying!
@@DesignBundles yes I am. I was told that it was the powder. So I retried it and again it’s the same. I pour the powder on it (kind heavy) and then shake it off. And I used a brush around the sides. Someone also told me you should not see the powder on it when curing. I left it to cure for like 30 seconds at 200-300 degrees and still saw the powder. Am I putting too much powder on it?
Same here. I think it depends on where you get the powder. I’ve heard it makes a difference. I’m not fond of the first one I bought.
Can it be used on black tshirts
It can but does not show up well
Did you do the follow up video with the dtf yet?
Hi Tavarus! We did a follow up video for using the DTF film with dark colored shirts here: ruclips.net/video/fy0oMV7g0GA/видео.html - Dawn 🙂
I also tried this hack with my Sawgrass 800. I used the DTF transfer sheet and added the taped sheet of paper. Some of the prints had ink smearing. Any printer settings I need to change?
Hi Adrienne! Which Ink and which transfer have you been using? - Agata
I used paper from Amazon Jecqbor dtf, it says its for inkjet printer(just noticed that) and also sublimation replacement ink from amazon
I have an Epson 2760. I purchased DTF film for Epson and all DTF printers. It came with white stickers to help with pulling film. Now with that resolved, it prints only about an inch and a half them pushes the film out but not releases it. I even went and used the Asub printer settings and still barely a 2 inch print. Any thoughts?
Hi Melissa! One of the tricks Crystal uses is to tape the DTF paper to a regular sheet of paper. Can you give that a try and let us know if that helps? If not, please send an email to mail@designbundles.net and we can continue to troubleshoot with you! - Dawn 🙂
I'm having issues and not sure what else to try. I printed using Welacer brand dtf film using my Sawgrass printer. I used Godora transfer powder and let it cure for about a minute and then pressed using my cricut easy press that was set to 385 for 20 sec on Gildan 100% cotton t-shirt. I did a cold peel and pieces of shirt would peel off and the shirt felt flaky. It was suggested to let the powder cure for 3-5 minutes so I let it cure for 4-1/2 minutes and repeated the process and when i did the cold peel the whole design came off. I have know idea what to try next. Any suggestions?
Hi Sandra! You may want to reach out to the dtf film brand and see if they can make a suggestion about press time or temp. Do you think it could have been the pressure? You seem to be doing all of the right things! - Dawn
@@DesignBundles hi thanks for getting back to me, I did actually order a different brand of powder and film and they are the same brand-name so if it doesn’t work then apparently I must be doing something wrong 🤪. I was so excited to do this technique and now I’m skeered lol. I will see what happens when the new stuff arrives. Thanks again. Sandra
I need your teal tape dispenser hand held, can u link where u got it?
Amazon! 😊
This hack is only for light colored clothes, correct?
Yes! - Dawn
Do you have a video showing how to sublimate on white or craft-colored paper gift bags?
Great suggestion! We will pass it along to our team! ❤️
Hello, I use a translator. I'm French. I live in Guadeloupe. Are the products offered good for sublimation? I use sawgrass. Everything is written in English and I do not understand the description of the material. Can you tell me more ? This is not a TDF print? Thanks
Yes, we have a number of great PNG files for sale! - Brittany
use tac spray on the paper and place the film on it and let the paper be captured by the printer and it works great.
How did you get white ink for ink jet in the ghosts...
Hi Tracy! The design itself has a beige tint to the ghosts as seen here so it isn't a true white: designbundles.net/lilypixels/1999714-stay-spooky-halloween-sublimation-png?ref=XGuixP - Dawn 🙂
Did the hot peel look as vibrant as the cold peel? Trying to figure out why anyone would want to cold peel if it is such a hassle to remove the extra little pieces. Thanks!
That was my experience too. I’m going to try a hot peel
Hey Kelley! We've reached out to the DTF brand used in the video and the hot peel film is more suitable for large patterns such as the front chest and back, while the cold peel film is suitable for thinner lines such as the back collar and letters. - Dawn 🙂
What happens if you don’t get all the access powder off and not using a white shirt? Will this cause an issue on a different fabric colour?
Hi Michelle! The powder melts and is what creates the bond from the design to the fabric. If you put too much, it may not adhere as well. We can test this out on different fabric colors in our upcoming videos to see the results. - Dawn
Did your sub printer print white?
no the white your seeing is the shirt it comes through as the white in the design
Do you do the hobby lobby brand the same way as the PET film? It’s been out of stock in Amazon
yes and here is another one amzn.to/3CJ3JLU
can i use regular printer ink for this ?
Hi there! Sublimation does require a special ink and paper, but if you are looking to use your regular printer, you can try printable HTV! - Dawn
Crystal can this process be done on dark colors like dark purple, black, and navy blue? Can anyway answer
It wouldn't be very visible on darker colours unfortunately
