- Do you hate polyester? I do too! This hack is going to change your life when it comes to sublimation designs. I have to say I was skeptical at first nut once I did it I don't know if I want to go back to using polyester at all!
This hack using DTF film and DTF powder makes it possible to have super gorgeous colorful designs on your cotton shirts! I will show you how to print your sublimation design to the DTF film, how to apply the powder safely to the film. You will also see how to activate the powder for pressing and then how to finally press it to your garment !

After waiting weeks for the materials to restock, I was finally able to order everything to try this. Can't wait to see how it comes out for me.
I've been holding off on getting a sublimation printer, mostly because I only make things for me or family. This may just make me go for it. Thanks for the tutorial Corinne!
Awesome video. Thank you so much.
Thank you!
I have all my stuff just setting there looking at me saying "It's ok, just go for it!" 😂😂😂
Thanks for your video it's excellent....I keep watching it and taking notes. I'll jump in soon.
I have the materials, but haven't tried it yet. I have to get some shirts, but I am excited to try it!!
I made one using Neon yellow sorry for my granddaughter and it came out awesome!
Hi Corrine, I wanted to share with you. There is a scoop inside the powder if you dig deep you'll find it. Also I put my film through the gravity feeder, if you put a stack of copy paper be hind the film there's no need to tape to the copy paper it feeds right through. Also I set mine on photo paper glossy it has more of a grab. I love your videos.
The printer I have feeds from a tray not from the back which is why it needed to be taped. It runs through my back feed printer fine.
Hi Corrine, I've read and have seen video's in getting rid of that rubbery like feeling on the shirt after pressing it. This is what I have read: Repress garment for 10-20 seconds at 325°F. This step is recommended to improve durability and stabilize the coating. Just a suggestion. Love your video's.
I want to try this!
It’s so fun!
I'm awaiting the powder so I can try this.
As a long time card maker, this approach makes a lot of sense to me. Chemicals only where needed (vs spray which I'm also going to try). Thanks for the tutorial. Much appreciated.
The spray is honestly a HUGE waste of time and money. it washes off super quick
@@CorinneBlackstone Good to know. I got some. If I use, I'll choose projects that won't need frequent washing. Thanks for all the good info. I have a Scan N Cut SDX230D and a Vevor 12x10 press. Converted Epson 2400 which is working like a champ.
Trying it while watching
Tyvm for this share - you can dtf on dark fabric - but kinda stuck about how to go about it in ink scape - on the printable vinyl
You can’t use this hack on dark. Real dtf prints are different
I use acetone to remove any extra ink!
thank you for this great video. I have the HTVRONT auto press and was wondering how I would heat the dtf to stick to film?
Just put it under the press and don’t press the button to start it pressing
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you
Hi Corrine, I’m wondering g if you have any suggestions. I printed my design with sawgrass printer and used the dtf powder, cured it for about 30 seconds to a minute, put design on Gildan 100% cotton shirt, covered with parchment paper and had my cricut easy press set at 385 for 40 seconds. I did to cold peel and the design peeled away from fabric. I retried several times and same thing. Any advice is appreciated . Thank you!
My best guess is you are not curing your design enough. it takes longer than 30 seconds to a minute for mine to fully cure mine was closer to like 2-3 minutes.
I have a lilac and white striped dress that I need to sublimate with DTF. Do you think it will work directly on the dress or should I use sublimation HTV under the design?
It will work but keep in mind the striping will effect the color of the design
Did you ever figure out a good setting that doesn't allow the black ink to run? I am still messing with my printer trying to figure out what works best. My black always streaks a bit.
So far the best I have found is the premium presentation paper matte setting and don't turn on high quality but still turn off high speed print
How has the dtf held up washing?
It’s holding up fine. I’ve washed it about 15-20 times and it still looks good
So am I correct you can not do this on dark colors?
Love this video and I just placed an order from what you shared Thank you so much.
Correct this is for light color only I show a dark colored shirt at the end
@@CorinneBlackstone yes I saw that. I was just making sure. I love your videos. I'm sure you have heard this multiple times but thank you for always having the time and love for helping fellow crafters.
@@crystalmyers1532 thank you so much for your sweet comment! ❤️❤️❤️
Please what’s is the heat setting?
385 for 40 seconds
I have been trying this and I'm getting like white spots across the images. It's like negative spaces across the whole design. Any thoughts?
It’s the rollers on your printer try turning down the quality or changing paper settings. Everyone’s printer is different so you may just need to play around with it a bit
I know you said to press your print at 285 but I noticed you heat press is showing 385 degrees. What setting do we use?
Yes I misspoke in the video it’s 385
I wonder if your video is the one I came across a few weeks ago. I have been wanting to begin pressing on coffee mugs and shirts but does the machine come with how to use it also, and what else we need with coffee presses
Also, what can we follow for step by step projects?
No there is no instruction guide with the heat press. I have a ton of videos that all show step by step how to create projects
What brand of shirt?
Bella canvas
I noticed the Black colored DTF powder on amazon, do you know what this is for> ?
Black DTF blockout powder is used to block garment colour or patterns that might be visible through the transfer. It is best mixed with standard, white DTF powder that can be found here in order to improve washability as black powder is not as strong on its own.
@@CorinneBlackstone ty so much!
Do you need to prewash before applying the powder?
No
Corrinne, what's up with the black powder?I went to buy the white through your link and there is black also. Does this work on darker color shirts or do you know? Just wondering...😊
Black powder is used for other colour shirts like red, orange etc, but only in genuine dtf, you can only use this process on light shirts due to the sublimation ink.
Yep aus nailed it. The white is all you can use wit sublimation. Dtf printing the true kind can be used on other colored shirts but since ths is sublimation it’s still light color only
I've done a few of these prior to seeing your video. I have noticed black marks throughout the image and once even an ink blotch. What print settings do you use to avoid this?
Every printer will be different you’ll need to test settings on your try by changing paper settings first try the premium matte paper settings
@@CorinneBlackstone I've tried several so far but I'm not getting consistent results unfortunately. I'll keep trying. Ty
@@brendafogerty1685 make sure to clean the wheels in your printer as well
@@CorinneBlackstone will do. Ty
I’ve seen that some set their paper to photo glossy. They say it works great this way. I haven’t tried it yet.
What should I tell my customers about washing and drying.
So far I’ve washed it twice I always use cold and wash it inside out tumbler dry low
How did the colors hold up afyer washing
Do you need the powder? I just purchased DTF material from brilliantvinyl and it did not suggest having to get anything powder related 😞
Yes you need the powder. The film is meant to be used in a DTF printer which has a special ink but you need the powder to do this type of printing.
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you for your quick reply! ❤️ Soooo total abbreviation error on my end. I purchased DTV paper not DTF 😅 but good to know for DTF if I use it in the future!
How does it hold in the washer and dryer?
So far so good! I’ve washed it a couple times and it still looks good!
@@CorinneBlackstonehow many times have you washed it now?
@@ufoquilter86 maybe 20 times
Does this process eliminate need to treat a 100% shirt with Poly T?
Yes and it actually lasts far better than poly t
@@CorinneBlackstone TY - can't wait to try this hack!
What is DTS?
It’s DTF which stand to direct to film
Did you say to heat it @ 285 for 40 seconds???
That is what I said however it’s actually 385 I misspoke
@@CorinneBlackstone Oh ok good. I was just double checking before I tried it.... Thanks
Hi
Does some suplimation not use powder?
Sublimation never uses powder
Which printing does use the powder? Id love to stay away from it unless thers a big diffrence in look.Thanks so much fornyour help
@@82burban dtf which is a special pricy printer
@@CorinneBlackstone direct to fabric I have seen them, yes pricey. So I can get a suplimation ink printer and print on the proper tranfer paper and go straight to heat press onto tshirt?
@@82burban yes I would recommend you watch some videos in my sublimation playlist to learn more about how sublimation works and what it can be pressed on
I bought all the stuff and to scared to try it.
I was a little scared too but honestly just go for it!
"We're going to heat this at 285" while you can clearly see the press is reading almost 390.
Yes I made a mistake. No one is perfect. No need to be rude
omg... i hsve such an ocd.. that paper next to your press.. when you lift it and press it.. it's driving me nuts that you don't remove it, lol. but i like your video otherwise
Well of course I’m not going to remove it. It’s held on with magnets so I keep it held on to one side so I can easily replace it when I am finished with the project that does not use the Teflon sheet.
