Absolutely wonderful video which was slow enough for me to follow with ease. Your voice decibel's were just right and not annoying. Thanks for not playing music in the background.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I tried curing it on my heat press but that method didn't work for me. I found it easier in my sublimation oven and it worked better for me too.
@@2andor4 I agree, I have seen a lot of videos on this product and I have even brought it to but haven’t tried it but I most differently be trying this method soon to see how it works for me. I don’t have a sublimation over I use a conventional over so, I will see.
You are so welcomed! I believe in and try to give credit whenever I can and it was your video that finally let me succeed with this hack. I love watching your videos and find your instructions so clear and easy to follow.
Hi Pati, Thank you for watching and commenting. A sublimation oven is an oven created specifically for sublimation only from the get go and is a form of a convection oven. A convection oven, though not originally created for sublimation, can be used for sublimation. Once used for sublimation, the convection oven should never be used for food.
Thank you for watching and making a suggestion. Unfortunately, The problem isn't just with DTF film but with any type of paper I put in the rear tray. There is a problem with the rollers actually grabbing any type of paper and it doesn't matter if I just put 1 sheet or if I put 20-50 sheets. If I manage to get it to grab the paper it screeches as the paper is going through. The front paper cassette works well regardless if I put 1 piece or more in cassette tray. Epson refuses to honor the warranty simply because I put sub ink even though it has nothing to do with the actual printing.
Have you tried overlapping a piece of painters tape on the edge of paper that is fed into printer first? I have the ET 15000 also and that seems to work well.
Hi Roxie - Thank You, yes I have tried that. The problem isn't just with transfers; It is with regular paper too. There is definitely a problem with the rear rollers in the printer and has been since almost day one. Epson refused to honor their warranty because I put sub ink in even though the problem has nothing to do with the actual printing but a problem with feeding paper through the rear tray. The front cassette tray works perfectly and I have no problem printing from there except the largest paper it can handle is 8.5x14.
Hello! Why is it recommended to use parchment and not butcher paper? because the butcher is absorbant? Also can you state the 60/40 blend temp and time? Also got any wash results on color loss? Im experimenting with about 4-5 different temperature ranges. THANKS!
When using the DTF hack - butcher paper will stick to your design which is why it is recommended you use parchment paper. I have washed many times and it is fine. As to time and temp for other fabrics I can''t say because I used 100% cotton. Also, every heat press is different so you will have to do some experimenting for what works for your heat press.
@@mikala5253 Hi Mikala, Thank you. Mine is not a DTF printer. Mine is an Epson ET-15000 which I converted to Sublimation Ink. In this case converting means nothing more than using Sublimation ink instead of the ink the printer came with. For this video, I used the sublimation ink, but on DTF transfer film AND right after printing I used DTF powder on it so that I could put it on 100% cotton shirt.
Other RUclipsrs have done wash tests and the shirts held up fine. However I will be doing my own follow-up video on the washing. I am making a few more shirts to give to family members and friends and they will report back to me on how the shirts faired during washing. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Just a quick update since you asked: I have washed and dried the tops twice with my regular wash of light colors since the shirts were white and they are still great! I did not treat them any differently then I do other items in my light color wash since I do not have time for "special care" of my everyday clothing! I will post a video soon.

Thank you for the sweet and nice comment. Also, thank you for watching and commenting.
This is the first time I’ve seen some cure the image in the over. Looks great and I love it too, thanks for sharing

These shirts turned out so nice!!! Loved the video.
Great video Naomi!!!
Thank you Carolyn for always being supportive!
Awesome...
I love all the shirts
Thank you. I wore the "Crazy Christmas Lady" on my Live today.
You mentioned a sublimation oven, is that the same as a convection oven? That's what I use to sublimate Tumblers.

Nice!
Try putting a stack of about 50 regular copy paper under the DTF file before printing

@2 And Or 4 - Naomi So sorry to hear that. That was and still is my main concern when I converted mine. That something will go wrong.

Is your ink not going to dry before putting the powder on? I thought ink was supposed to be kinda wet to grab powder?
I put the powder on when the ink was wet, immediately after printing.
@@2andor4 I'm new at this, just bought a DTF printer and watching alot of videos... I love yours, too...😊

I’m filling those shirts I need to try that 😮😅
I am loving this technique. I am going to wash and dry them the way I normally do my laundry and see what happens. I will post an update.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing!😃
Thank you for watching. I plan on doing more videos with the Yamation DTF film. It has worked the best.
Have you did a wash test yet?
