DTF is direct to film not direct to fabric(which is DTG) . That is a different process. This is really a hack found for sublimating onto 100% cotton. DTF film is made for DTF printers which also have white ink and which require adhesive powder to be added. This process combines sublimation ink, DTF film and adhesive powder. If you consider the cost of converting an ecotank printer for sublimation against the cost of a DTF printer this method is way cheaper and if you don't like the outcome you've not wasted a load of money.
Great tutorial Lauren! Thanks for taking the time to do all the research and testing.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. đ
I have been waiting for this video.
How fun! Have to do this. Thank you - another great tutorial
You are so welcome!
You can also cure the powder twice and it will transfer onto plain white HTV. That way you don't need glitter for dark fabrics! The white htv will work as a white "ink" for images with white.
Thanks for sharing!
If you donât want to put the paper on the back just put a piece of blue painters tape on the back of the dtf paper and it will print the image perfectlyâŠ.just a little tip đ
Hi Nanett wher do you put the painters tape horizontal or vertical?
I had to print it by itself and it printed finally
I wonât take paper behind it
@@debbiebailey2601 at the top, horizontally.
What does it feel like to the touch thats one of my deal breakers but also how it holds up in the wash
Interesting process. Looks like a lot of things could go wrong for me! Lol! Iâm pretty messy when I craft. Thanks Lauren
You are so welcome!
Loved thisâ€ïž
So glad you loved it!
SO COOL! Great tutorial! Can't wait to try this technique out!
Have fun!
Did you? What did washing it several times do to the logo?
@@DSNate I did!! Iâve washed it several times and it held up-- but for me and my washer- Siserâs EasyColor DTV had better results! Not sublimation- but a printable option for dark garments.
Thank you! Love it
You are so welcome!
I canât wait to watch this
Thanks for watching!
Gonna have to try this
Go for it!
Thank you so much.
Looooove this tutorial!!!!!
So glad you love it!â€
Thank you â€
Iâve found using my heat gun is so easy to melt the powder. I do it hovering around then repeat with the powder and then again with heat gun. This way you are controlling the âcookâ /melt. Works perfectly.
I have not been having any real success with DTF. Some real fiasco's actually LOL. I tried your timing and temp and though I could peel the carrier off it was still really difficult and the picture was not as vibrant as I thought it should be. I was really hoping this would be an alternative for me to use but it seems you have to have the "perfect powder" and the "perfect carrier sheet film" to have any success. I may just have to pass this method / hack up. Thank you for sharing. :-)
i found if you dont have an oven and are using a heat press to melt the powder if you use a piece of parchment paper directly on top of your printed dtf film with powder on it place it in heat press 330 to 360 ish degrees it melts powder in seconds and the parchment paper comes right off does not damage the print whatsoever as matter fact i feel it makes it an even smoother print after pressing it onto your garment both on polyester and on cotton ,,
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
finally tried it...worked great.....learned not to iron it directly after to set it into the shirt. LOL. Thanks for awesome directions.
Great to know!
Susan, what do you mean not directly after? Do you mean letting it set for a few minutes before pressing?
@@dflip2 I pressed directly after and half of the ink came back off
Hi. How do these shirts hold up after washing?
Yep, already got the materials to do it.
Yay!
Awesome video and info. Have wash them ?
Can you show us the same process but with black adhesive powder and show the difference
Wondering if you can cook it with the HTVront auto heat press thatâs coming out soon?
Iâm interested to see DTF hack for dark color shirts w/o converting printer to dtf and other related costs.
1 did you mention temp?
2 have you washed and dried the shirt to see if you have color loss? Why does not one content creator Iâve seen show real results instead of surface level results?
3 why did you not do a âsetâ press to really melt the in-between fibers?
4 what is the texture of the finished logo? Is it gritty and rough? Or is it actually pretty smooth to the touch?
No offense btw, one of the nicest straight to the point guides on YT. Thank you
I havenât tried the dtf sub yet but I did the dtf inkjet hack. When I washed one shirt , the color totally faded. When I did another one , the color stayed. It was all blk. Your suppose to press for 40 seconds twice at 400 degrees. My press only go to 360 and my other one wonât go to 400 anymore.
What temperature did you press at
great explanation! question : does this process and time work for 50/50 poly/cotton blend hoodies?
I know this is going to sound silly to ask but is there any hazards with handling or pressing with the dtf adhesive powder besides breathing in dust.
Does the color wash out any after washing?
Great Video and the outcome was amazing. I just feel like it's a lil pricey.
Thank you. Glad you liked it. The Makers Gonna Sublimate course is currently on $70 off. makersgonnalearn.com/sublimate/
What time August 15th will you answer questions. Definitely want to be there
Is there a wash test? Of after results
when you put the print on the heat press to "cook" , is the powder/sticky side against the bottom of the heat press and the film is what is "up" and would be against the top plate (if you were closing it )--thank you !!
Powder side facing up
That was my question as well.
Itâs actually called curing
how does it hold up to washing?
can you do this on a black t-shirt as well? also, can you do a tutorial on black powder and how it works
My guess is that the ink is sublimating the powder and film which is then transferred to the garment like regular dtf prints.
How does it wash ?
This is awesome.. but DTF stands for âdirect to FILMâ not direct to fabricâŠ
They have DTF which is direct to film because u print directly on the FILM and they have DTG which is direct to GARMENT which means printing directly onto the garment
I've never seen this before is this like new?
Great tutorial. I love this idea however I have tried and my shirt turns brownish nd the image do not look nice it look like if I was bleach the design. Can someone give me an advice please? Thanks in advance. I am using Gildan Heavy Cotton in white. I had play with the times never change the temperature tho
Do you think if the image to be print has white color will it be good for dtf ?
Omg I love your accent but seriously when you said warm peel I swear I heard âworm pillsâ lololololol
It is. đ Thank you for watching!
what would the washing requirements be?
First itâs direct to Film (DTF), second the only reason you need to cook the powder adhesive is if your storing it or sending it. But not if your pressing right away.
So I could print on dtf and then press on cotton? đČ
no because she used sublimation ink not DTF ink
@@chelseaortiz8586 I have a sublimation printer, I tried using another hack with DTF it wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best either.
I have tried saving time by skipping the baking step and the results were absolutely terrible. Could you give some specs for time, pressure, and temp that has successfully worked for you please? Would love to skip the baking process! Thanks in advance.
Did you use a Sublimation printer or an inkjet printer? Also, how would this method of printing work on black/dark colored t-shirts?
hi... how durable is the image, they say it does not stretch and crack but how many natural cold machine washes can we expect out of it before it shows signs if ware
I donât think one person on the internet ever has washed anything using this process Iâve been searching for days the same questionâŠ
I can tell you that I have used the same method, the image came out very nice, after a light wash in the machine, 30 minutes at 40 degrees, it's just the same, didn't change at all. But this result is only for one wash, I don't know how many times it will last.
I canât get my printer to take the film. I have put paper and tape. The printer keeps jamming the paper. Does the copy paper have to be the same size as DTF?
Will dtf pet matte wk? I see it says glossy.
If you're using a sublimation printer how did you get the white to print? Or is the white part from the powder?
There is no white printed.!if you look at the image it had white clouds but once itâs pressed, they are the color of the shirt. White is a separate powder that cannot be achieved with this hackâŠ.unless some genius figures out how.
Great tutorial even loves all of the opinions below> So this cannot be done on dark color? I have the DTV and have been afraid to try but it limits the size for large print. The subli I had some issues with, and it frustrated me more than anything and maybe it's the user me and not the product itself. Is there any pointers you can give me on that?
I have noticed this powder also comes in another color, black or for blacks, not sure exactly for in just learning but you should look into that. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what it's for. Good luck!
what is the different between DTF WHITE and BLACK Transfer Adhesive Powder?
If you have image with black in it and you use black powder, it prevents you from having to use black ink from your printer
I keep getting lines in my print. Ive tried paper and card stock taping to it. And. I also have tried to level out the print coming out. Im using a Epson ET. Printer. Htv ront film
does the color go thru to the other side of shirt ? I noticed you did not put paper in between shirt? also since working with powder and heating it do you need to be a well ventilated room?
Itâs recommended to have a ventilated room even in small workplaces. You are inhaling fumesâŠ
I can't wait to try this
Have fun!
Need advice : Iâm printing on the DTF film but my sublimation printer is printing black residue on the edges and near the design. Iâm not adding a sheet of paper to the dtf film not sure how to fix this
Me too!
How does it look after being washed?
No one answers this.
I've tried, and mine cracks after washing once
ohhh I wonder if it's possible for them to give the adhesive a white pigment, so you're able to sublimate on darker color against the white substrate. It'd be a bit like easy subli, but no need for a cricuit.
You can
They sell black powder for darker Clothes
How do you keep from getting the black lines or pizza wheel lines i think some people call them ? Ive tried it a couple of times i keep getting the black lines đą
What temperature did you have your heat press on when you pressed onto the shirt?
Probably around 380 which is what Iâve seen others that do the same tutorial and time 30-40 secondsâŠ
What size is the image
I tried doing this was getting streaks across the print from my printer
With all due respectâŠ. DTF ( direct to film) DTG( direct to garment).
Thank you for your info. đ
Does this work on Black and dark-coloured garments too?
NO IT DEOS NOT IT STILL HAVE TO BE PRESSED ON WHITE OR LIGHT COLORS...
385 Degrees... at 09:40 ..... everyone's been asking
do you have a tutorial for dark colors t-shirt
You can check our blog: makersgonnalearn.com/sublimate-dark-fabrics/
You said 30-35 seconds but you never mentioned a temperature. I'm reading the comments below and I see a temp of 400 but thats also mentioning 40 seconds not 30-45 you stated in the video. whats the temp you used in the video?
Why does it have to be a print then cut image?
Do you lay the image facing up or facing down on the shirt when you go to press it?
Mirror the image and put it face down onto the fabric when you go to press it.
Which ink are you used on pet films sublimation ink or different ink. Please let me know

Was the image printed on an Epson sublimation printer? What time on Monday?
Sorry, I was late to the video. Got the answers in the video and chat.
So glad you got the answers!
I was late too but still need answers. My sublimation printer is leaving smudges on the dtf film ⊠Iâm not attaching the paper prior to printing not sure if itâs that. I did print 2 images prior without a problem, but now Iâm getting smudges

Could you put this into a convection oven rather than trying to hold the easy press?
Itâs plastic, it would melt
Mannn, already seen this by ole boy. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Can you cook your dtf image with a heat gun? I have the large easy press and I don't think I can hold it over the film without dropping it.
I would suspect that if you experimented a bit that you would very likely find that there is a *much* lower temperature setting, at similar or shorter duration, where it would be perfectly ok to place the EasyPress directly onto the design with only the butcher paper in between. I have the 12x10 EasyPress 2 and would not want to have to hold it suspended for 60-90 seconds either. Given it is easy enough to reprogram time and temperature that might work better for those of us with more manual setups where volume and time efficiency might not be as imperative. Another option would be the addition of non-heat conducting spacers, like some hardwood dowels (though they may brown or smoke a bit the first couple uses), as then you could simply rest the EasyPress on the spacers instead of holding it mid-air. But, as always, YMMV!
You keep saying direct to fabric but itâs actually Direct to Film
Hello
Hello there!
Can you use this technique on dark fabrics?
that's what I want to know
NO YOU CAN NOT ONLY THE TRUE DTF TRANFERS CAN BE HEATPRESS ON ANY TYPE OF FABRIC, NOT THIS.
I just purchased everything I need and tested it but I have so many problems with the black ink it smears a lot I tried every printer setting I have, do you have any tips for me?
No reply , I have this issue now. Are you adding the dtf to a sheet of paper then feeding it through? Im not
I was having problems with smears so I moved my image more in the center away from the tape and only used tape at the top and bottom that fixed my problem
I am having issues with the ink spreading on the film from the printer. I have an Epson F170 sublimation. Any suggestions?
Same issue
I tried this... the powder did not stick to the ink. I'm using an Epson ET-8550 with sublimation ink.
Was your ink wet?
@@AskDomDOTcom No. But I figured out what's wrong. I have the wrong film. It's not DTF film. It's fast dry screen printing film. I purchased the wrong product. đ
DTF=Direct to film. Not direct to fabric
The print method is not 100% just because the sublimation colors do not sit perfectly on the PET film.The result is a cracked motif and I don't like it.Anyway I come up with this idea already last year on some Facebok groups about DTF printing.
I canât load my paper to save my life. The only part or shownâŠ. Bummer.
If only it wasnât while Iâm a sleep because I work at night
DTF.......đ
Thanks for the tips
