    Excellent video, but a couple things. I do DTF and sublimation, but I have both printers. (Also, never used my Sublimation printer for DTF so may be different) 1) Besides coming in black and white adhesive powder, it comes in cold and hot peel. The manufacturer should specify on the packaging. I learned that the hard way as I messaged a lady and told her it wasn’t working smoothly and she directed me to the packaging that said peel immediately as hot peel. Tried that and worked like a charm. As for curing, it needs to be done even if immediately printing. Another mistake I learned the hard way. It can shift and leave sticky spots on the garment, and can cause ink smearing. It also will not fully cure while pressing which will leave ink behind on the film. It needs to be cured to looking like an orange peel finish. Last but not least, DTG printers (Direct to Garment) can run into 20,000.00, but DTF isn’t that high. I purchased mine for 3,000.00, new. It is the 13” wide print. It is the white ink stirrer, roll film feeder and a curing oven. Mine is a ProColored brand, which is basically an Epson L1800. I also have the Sawgrass printer so interesting that this works, but DTF prints white so would still be more versatile. For anyone considering a DTF printer, however, do a lot of research. (Another thing I learned the hard way) There is a lot of maintenance involved. A LOT. And it can be messy. You have to clean it twice a week, belts and under head. You have to use the printer at the very least, every other day. If not the printer head will clog and when it clogs, it is not easy to unclog and many times, it can’t be unclogged so you have to purchase a new printer head which is about 150.00-300.00. They use a lot of ink and the ink for DTF is not cheap.

      Thank you for taking the time to share this with our community! I didn't realize the DTF printer required twice a week cleaning. Just to clarify, you are saying the powder left sticky spots on the garment and caused ink smearing? Do you think that was because of the amount of powder or not curing it long enough? This is all so interesting to discuss! - Dawn

      @@DesignBundles it has to be cleaned twice a week and have to be used at least once a day. The white ink container has to be shook up. For maintenance, the head has to be moved to the middle, take a swab and dip in alcohol and clean under bottom side of head. The little cage under needs a little alcohol added and wipe top of cage well. The belts have to be wiped as if any ink gets on the belt, it won’t work. Move head back into place, take syringe and pull ink (and the alcohol you drop into cage) through overflow hose. Then shake the outside container of white ink, take out ink bags for white, (there are 2) take syringe and pull white through and squirt back into white ink container. It only takes a few minutes but if forgotten, the ink will clog and a clog in head can cause you to need new head, which isn’t cheap. (Just had to replace mine for 3rd time in 2 years). When DTF print comes out, some say immediately add adhesion powder but I personally find for me it works better to wait about 3 minutes add powder and put into the cure oven for about 3-5 minutes. It needs to cure until it appears to have an orange peel finish. Not curing make work with sublimation ink. I have a Sawgrass 800 so don’t really mess with the ink to know the thickness of the ink but DTF ink, especially white, is thicker than inkjet ink. The powder is basically a glue and if it shifts when press is closed, it can move the ink it’s spread on and if the powder lands on substrate without ink, it leaves a slightly sticky area where it sits and is pressed. When powder added to DTF and cured, it’s not sticky at all. Like HTV, when it gets heat and pressure from press, it becomes a glue to hold to shirt. The time and temp for pressing DTF is closer to HTV than sublimation also. As I said, it may work to not cure powder for sublimation ink, I haven’t tried it. I’ve only used on DTF. I love my printer but it is a lot of work to just keep it working properly. Many don’t realize the maintenance involved. I didn’t. When I won’t be home for a few days, I have my daughter go to my house and run a print through it daily and if gone multiple days, I have her run a head clean at least. Also, if making the investment, make sure you have enough orders to print at least once a day. If not, you have to print something so wasting ink and film. Sublimation printers can sit without using but DTF won’t. If have the money to invest, and not selling the prints, I’d recommend the DTG printer. No film or powder needed. I don’t know the maintenance procedures however, as I do not have a DTG. Hope this makes sense and helps. :) again

    You can cut a stencil with your cricut, put it on your shirt, take a sponge and dab some white fabric paint to get your white background. Make sure you dry the white paint first then do your sublimation & powder on top of your white background. It works I've done it several times.

      Hi Ruthanne! So this gets a little tricky because the powder itself doesn't actually provide any color. The white powder won't add a white color to your design.

    The black powder is for use with a true dtf printer with white ink. The black would go behind the white layer once it's pressed. Being black, any stray bits of the black powder will blend better with a black shirt. Any sublimater with ANY experience knows sublimation ink is transparent and will not show up on black. You need something very light behind it. If you value your time, this will not work without a white background.

    So I just started using dtf now and not sure what's going on. I would cure it and then right when it was out on shirt. When I peeled off white dots stayed in the shirt. Like if ink was not transferred right? Not sure if it's the temperature that I put 325 for 15 seconds. Or powder or ink? So confuse with this 😱😱😱😱

    I bought that other DTF brand that didn't do well for you ... I had the same problems as far as the peeling, it didn't do well at all. Also, I didn't think about proper ventilation - and it made me sick (breathing issues) for a few days, and even my dogs sick for a few days. So if you are going to do DTF, make sure you are in a WELL VENTILATED AREA.

    Good evening,
    I would like some advice because I am currently launching my business and doing tests. I tried your DTF hack technique. To tell you, I have an SG500 printer with Sublijet ink. Being French, I was unable to have access to a certain brand of DTF paper, so I have the following paper: the TRILINIK DTF transfer film brand. I did all the steps in your video but at the printing stage, my design had darker places like dots and when I applied the powder it was still visible. Do you know why the ink has dots? Is it the ink, is it the programming that needs to be changed in terms of printing? I'm a little lost and would like some help to get my design perfect Thanks :)
