The guy just saved 300$

no he didn't. he's forgetting the most important part - PRESSURE! with heart the vinyl will stick just fine in the video but as soon as you put it through a washer /dryer it will get wrinkles and tiny bubbles and eventually peel. because you don't get enough pressure with an iron. it is an easy solution for one time use shirts though.
thats how we used to do it as kids in the 80' lol
The good old days
And the 90’s😅
That iron is from the 80s
@@SmartGuy30331 and early 2000s 😂
I’m about to try this because I bought these DTF and didn’t realize you need a press, so I’m about to do a video of me trying this with an iron. Great video by the way!! Thank you!
Did it work?
@@siconine didn’t do it yet. Shirts coming in a day or so
I’m about to try this with cheers bows!
@@Unapologeticallyauthentixme let me know how it goes. Good luck!!
make sure you apply good pressure with the iron and do a second (covered) press after you peel with good pressure. or it might start to wrinkle/peel after couple of washes
THE PERFECT TUTORIAL
Thanks so much for posting sir 🙌🏽
I have try it when I start a small business
Thank you so much you just saved me SOOOO much money
I like this guy he give me hope
Does it wash well? What heat did you set your iron on? How did you create the transfer for a black shirt? Can I do it without a cricut machine?
Putting myself in the reply section just in case this gets answered
They have the heat transfer paper for light n dark colors. It does wash well and I never use a circuit I just use scissors.
@@SonnySoHappy Who makes those papers? Where can I get them?
Google dtf transfer. I found several with free samples
I tried a cricut heat press and when I washed it came out horrible. Washed inside out on cold
Do you still need the hotmelt powder to make it work to? Or just the paper and the oven paper?
you can use oven paper
What did you rub on the dtf transfer after the first ironing? And is that necessary?
Just looks like a little book, maybe to flatten it cold. I've never done it on my prints before.
a block (maybe ceramic or steel or anything that stays cold) to cool it down quicker. you can also use an iron (one that's cool and unused for a while) because the ceramic/steel plate on the bottom gets very cool to the touch so it helps dissipate heat quick. other options are anything steel & flat, or an ice pack (the coming gel kind, that won't get wet),
Did you use sublimation ink or normal ink?? Mine isn't working
Thank you
Do we need to set the iron to maximum heat?
Yes
What temperature was it at
It’s a iron with no temperature setting
How do you put the design on the sheet
What kind of paper is that?
Also did you print the letters backwards?
Did you use powder in this tutorial??? What’s a good brand to use from Amazon? What happens if you don’t use the powder on the iron on???
Am having a problem finding the right cut settings for the KISSCUT Adhesive Vinyl i purchased. Would you be able to help me with that?
thank you 😘
Good job
How do you get those colors to pop on dark shirt?
It does both black and white. It's all in the paper
Amazing
you must have a very good iron because when i used mine it had a lot of cracking once I stretched it
Will washing in the washing machine ruin it?
Where to buy the design DTF paper ?
Thank you so much 😊
I appreciate you.
You just save me R6500 on a press!
How long will it be on the shirt , will it remove after wishing??
What temp for the iron?
Do you need the dtf powder
Does the print last long?
that's my question too.. I have a shirt business, I do the design and have the shirts made from a printshop.. I was planning to have my designs printed from them and just buy a shirt from the mall and do the pressing at home with an iron coz iL be saving more than half the price.. the lady from the printshop said tho that if the heat or pressing or something wasn't done correctly, the print might peel off in months..
@@KrisnotzHuskiesMukbangdamn, i wonder if they lying for more business. Also there's shops that do this? I was tryna find a place online but most of them only do like little logos
Hi
Where can I get those 95% poly shirts. Thanks
Look up sublivi tshirts those are 100% polyester made for sublimation
look up nero manufacturer to buy t-shirts 100% polyester.
What was the paper he used 2nd one?
How many seconds did u press?
What temperature and duration
No excuses
Which temperature?
where can I get these stickers
main challenge ive faced is that the iron doesn't have a consistent surface temp like a heat press does, it has cooler spots , maybe its bc my iron is older but i always nake sure to get the *centre* of my iron over the whole thing, not just the edges ,to make sure it gets hot enough
What film do you use?
Where we get the Sticker
How long do you press
What’s the blank paper on top of the print
Parchment paper
How to make that print on that plastic paper
Is this machine washable? I'm definitely planning on trying this if it doesn't come off
Yes it is.
Can we use the normal printer ink or ?
No
Hi, What brand & material is the shirt ?
It's definitely Gildan. Probably heavy cotton.
What Paper Is that?
Baking paper
@@richonaomi976 baking paper mean oil paper... yes or no😢
What ink do you use?
Can you do it without the paper?
You need the Paper it else it would destroy the design and might stick to the Iron
It's not that hot can't do it, they did this ages ago this way with irons... but the point of a heat press is to do it with more consistent temperature all around to have longer lasting more quality products..... also for the time consuming part...., with the iron you have to move it around constantly and much longer time so that you really got the transfer bonded to the shirt .... so it takes longer and you can't really see if you missed a spot . With a heat press it's temperature controlled and it's constant consistent heat all around no need to move around the heat source.... and it takes from 15-30 seconds most of the time, so can you do it with an iron ofcores we all have known that but for a professional quality product that you want your customers to get then you must invest right?... but for a diy person then this will do.
But how do you remove something this big on a t shirt
BROOO I MADE ALL MY DESIGNS IN YOIR CUSTOM WEBSITE AND I WAS READY TO CHECKOUT AND IT SAID ONLY IN US 😭😭😭 BRO THIS IS SICK MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO CANADA BROO😭
Does it wash well?
Let's work together 🔥🔥🔥
When you wash it is when it gets bad
You must have a printer that prints white.
Save me money
More pressing less ironing
You can't drag a Chinese T-shirt like that. It would torn off immediately
Until he washes it
Why is it not mirror image?
Why would it be mirror image? It's basically an iron-on so it's actually printed to the clear film in mirrored image so when you apply it to the shirt/item then it transfers in the correct direction.
mirror image is done for sublimation tshirt printing.. dtf printing is different..
What paper was used? And this is literally the epitome of what tutorials are supposed to be!
I think its transfer paper
Parchment paper
