Hey there, thanks for supporting the channel. Please reach out with any questions regarding your work environment, printer options or software :)
Really good information. Static one was unknown , and we were actually suffering from it.
A lot of folks are not familiar with the static element and what that can mean for direct to film printing!
I purchased a DTF printer and I do not know anything about the program and its installation. I tried contacting the company and they helped me a little. I only have a problem installing Flexi.

How much did it cost?
Thanks for the great info. I'm getting a peculiar issue where in grey colour designs magenta is getting mixed and when solid grey colour design is there magenta lines are being printed. Any idea how to fix this?
Hey there, what printer are we running this is happening to you with? Off the bat, cleaning the capping station and running a head cleaning sounds like the first steps
I am learning so much from your content. I'm from Austrlaia, we have a Epson F3000 we are getting vertical lines on our prints not sure what is causing this?
Hey there, thank you for supporting the channel! First thing, we want to make sure the nozzle check is good before production. If the check prints incomplete we can get lines in the print. Are you experiencing this with DTG or DTF?
We are mainly doing DTF. It’s only happening with that. Nozzle checks have been perfect. It looks like not enough colour and then white is coming through the fine lines. I’ve just ordered new ecofreen film to see if that’s the case. Can I order from you guys? Because we struggle to get good film here in Australia.
Hello, here are my setting I run for DTF with your printer: czcams.com/video/4Zr0eyzPBfk/video.html
YES! If you have sales questions, drop an e-mail to HARRY@aaprintsupplyco.com
@@Ethan_plays26I’ve had the same issue with mine and I still haven’t been able to resolve the issue .. going to try using a cold peel film this week
@@justinabril9111 Hey there, wanted to circle back to this if you are still having issues. A quick way to tell is in Garment Creator switch the print setting from BI-DIRECTIONAL to UNIDIRECTIONAL. If this resolves the issue all you need to do is run a head alignment!
Suggestions for a DTF printer? I'm saving up for one to get into the DTF game.
Hey there, we have some awesome desktop options for you! Drop an e-mail to HARRY@aaprintsupplyco.com he can get you some pricing options, financing IS available also:)
Hello, I have an Epson XP15000 DTF printing. It was printing just fine. All of a sudden, any image I print, it looks enlarged/stretched. Example: If I want to print a circular image, it comes out like in an egg form or oval.
Hmm, haven't run into this much before but first troubleshooting would be shut down the RIP, shut down computer, shut down printer. Developer may advise removing/re-installing program and driver as well depending on the program
Still have strokes of ink line forming when printing DTF films.
What would be the best way to solve that problem.
Is it through head cleaning or Nozzle checks?
Hey there, nozzle check should tell us if the print will come out with or without lines, head cleaning on affected nozzles corrects the bad check.
For me, my ink runs off when wet. I am crunched on nickels and dimes so I tried the DTF inkjet printer hack. Should I just invest in converting another printer? I do have an Epson that was converted for subbing.
Hello, what RIP software are you running? Sounds like we need to dial back the ink a little. Also, what printer?
And what’s the help chats that I was going to be able to access , or was that just a selling point
Hey there! Your sales rep can get you set up with an invite to the Slack support channels for your specific machine!
I’m running the STS 724
What temp should we bake at ? I at 125 F
What about the heat press time and heat
Hey there, what are you using to bake the sheets? The temperature will depend on that (heat press, oven, conveyor dryer, etc). As far as application it should be pressed at between 310-320 F for between 15-20 seconds. Reference your individual films instructions as to whether it is a cold, warm or hot peel. LASTLY, I always perform a finishing press after the peel WITH A COVER SHEET for 5 seconds, same temp used to apply
I used a print I purchased, but when it printed, it put the white layer on the wrong side. How can this be fixed?
Hello, DTF is printed backwards (color first, then white). Did yours pint white first?
@@AAPrintSupplyCo I actually realized it was a halftone print, meant to be printed on a black shirt. So that’s why I thought the image was printed wrong. Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate it so much. ❤️
@@paranormalspirittrackers5745 that's great news! Please be sure to tag us on any social when you share it I want to see the design (@aaprintsupplyco) big fan of half toning with #DTF . And you are very welcome, would've got back to you yesterday but I was out of office recovering from tradeshow - videos coming soon!
Does anyone have a discord server specifically for dtf printing, sublimation and questionnaires? I’m having some issues with heat pressing and printing
Hello, while we are not associated with any discord server in particular we do offer dedicated support slack channels for our customers depending what model DTF printer they have. Facebook groups also have really active, supportive communities helping one and other!
What is your Facebook group for epson 8550?
Hi, I have a Epson L1800, to print only white logos on a black t-shirt, can I get excellent results by printing the white isotro at 1440x720 or should I print the white at 1440x1440?
Hello, thanks for stopping by. I have not personally worked with that exact model but the higher the dpi the higher the quality level should be. Will you always need the higher dpi? It depends on a number of factors such as garment, film, powder, etc. Best bet would be to print and apply both to see how they compare
When i print the white ink is printing overlay. Like it shows on top of the test. Any help pls
Hello there, are you saying the machine is printing the color layer first and then the white on top? DTF is printed backwards as the film is pressed ink side down. If that is the case this sounds correct
Do you have to keep the printing environment at 40% to 60% humidity 24/7? What humidifier do you recommend?
For the smoothest and least interrupted production experience that temperature is advised at all times for the environment the printer is in. As far as which humidifier, essentially you just want to avoid ones that emit a visible mist spray into the air. Those particles may travel in the work area and we do not want that. Aside from that one that includes a manufacturer warranty would be my best advice.
Also, if the model does not have a visible humidity display gauge it may be advised to also purchase a gauge to ensure the levels of moisture in the air at all times.
@AAPrintSupplyCo thank you for the reply. I'll take all of this into consideration when I pull the trigger.
Hello, I have several questions: What are the colors and types of inks that I should use for printing?! Note that my printer is an Epson L1800, and what is the type of pill that stabilizes the substance and its name?! Can I contact you privately to help me a little?

Hi,
Ink abosorb in film when I press the film to t-shirt. Please help...
Hello, are you saying that when you press your DTF transfer some of the ink stays on the film? OR, please describe what is happening for us
As far as I know DTF only sticks to T shirts, can DTF absorb into T shirts like using a screen? This certainly makes DTF more popular because using a screen requires a lot of time and effort.
Hello, we have had great results applying DTF to most any surface which can be heat pressed in even contact/pressure. Products include: windbreakers, wallets, safety vests: czcams.com/video/oT8T2ooXWME/video.htmlsi=xBFFLRl0wUDu2ug8
duffel bags, backpack, lunch bags, pet carriers, denim jackets: czcams.com/video/PAwRd41v8WU/video.htmlsi=Q2SrADuGNGMTlO0N
With good settings you can really embed the transfer into the fibers of the garment. We have seen this effect heightened with a t shirt used a cover sheet for the second press or 'finishing press' as well as T. Seal (aaprintsupplyco.com/products/uninet-icolor-t-seal-finishing-sheet-a3-size?variant=39893254668372)
we know all this. main problem is 90% people have a problem with white inq. we can't print white inq on black tshirt show us the RIP white layer printing settings. our white layer convert to transparent automatically. pls help
Hello, what software and printer are you running? What profile/print queue?
What would make a hint of black show when I print yellow ?
Hmm, this sounds like something tech support would be able to troubleshoot with you! Here is the link to our contact form if the machine was purchased through All American: aaprintsupplyco.com/pages/contact-us
-please included photos and description for the area of concern!
@@AAPrintSupplyCo tech support is very spotty , always have to call me back but never does …..
Hey Daniel, have you been able to join the weekly training for your Prestige A3+R printer? Here is the info for signing up: dtfstation.com/pages/prestige-a3-dtf-printers-live-training-sign-up
@@AAPrintSupplyCo another day has come and gone a supervisor was supposed to give me a call but I knew that wasn’t going to happen it’s just been a bad experience dealing with this company , my sales rep who would call right back when it was time to pay doesn’t answer his number , the tech support aldwin just sounds like he reading a script and never calls back as he says he will . Sad part was I had seven friends who were going to invest in your product and now are looking else where
@@AAPrintSupplyCo to whom may concern I got my replacement printer , just want to say Alvin or aldin in tech support was no real help at all , a guy named Zach helped me the most and I wanted to shout him out if he see this , aswell the new printer came with a button the old one didn’t found out it was the thermostat turn on , so far so good with the prints . And I’ll be enrolling into the classes asap . I wasted a lot of ink and paper on a bad printer smh none of that was replaced but I’m not gonna complain lol .
hey isn’t dtf toxic ? how to prevent it ?
Hello, let me start by saying untested/non certified materials of ANY kind from an unknown source can be problematic potentially. From day one we have stressed the importance of safety with sustainable supplies and methods. Our products have undergone thorough testing to ensure the safety of the print staff and their customers. Does every company do this and offer the documentation? Probably not. That being said if you follow instructions for ventilation and do not physically ingest/inhale the actual powder or ink you are not at risk. PPE protection can be worn during production as an extra layer of safety such as a mask or gloves but a good system set up properly and used how we instruct can ensure a clean environment and safe production
@@AAPrintSupplyCo i just turned 19 and i want to start, your telling me i need all that stuff to be safe ? even if my printer is a cricket explore air 2 and then i have a heat press ?
@@2lordrew That's awesome to hear you are getting your foot in the door! The thing is, we cannot speak on the safety of products from other companies or distributors from overseas. What we can assure you is the materials and supplies that we offer are tested and certified for safety before we ever offer them to market. If you buy from us, join the free trainings and follow instructions you will be safe.
Now as far as the Cricut Explore Air 2, that would be a cutter - no actual printing going on here but you still always want to consider your source. The material we offer for the Cricut (heat transfer vinyl) is also tested for safety but, again, we cannot speak on behalf of other materials out there from unknown sources. Here is a video breaking down the differences between DTF and vinyl we put out recently: czcams.com/video/aDSmchqCkxA/video.htmlsi=mQ3jD9BgUF2zy7Qn
Whenever i print on tshirt it comes out a bit paperish.. it breaks after 1 wash
Hello, what film and printer? Please also provide heat press settings
Man I went with uninet and feeling like that was a wrong choice
There's a lot you can do with the Uninet machines also!
Yeah my magenta keeps bleeding into my white ink uugghh
Hey there, what machine are you using that you are experiencing this with?
My colors are coming out too dark
Hey there, what printer are you running? We should be able to increase brightness by adjusting our white layer!
How
@@bochito4488 Hello, what printer are you looking to do this with?
@AAPrintSupplyCo Hello, I am having the same issue from time to time. I have a printer that's using an L1800. DTFpro software. I've tried adjusting the brightness and contrast. It doesn't print anywhere near as crisp as the original image.
