I am new to sublimation and I picked up one of my cotton shirts by accident and sublimated on it. Well of course it looked very light and I knew as soon as I put it in the wash it was going to fade even more. So I printed out the same image on parchment paper and used the powder and put the printed parchment paper over the sublimated design already on the shirt and was able to see through the parchment paper to line it up perfectly and bam, it worked great so I didn't ruin the shirt. Love your videos
I am so glad I found this video! I tried with transfer film and my prints through my sawgrass kept smudging. I was going to give up, tried parchment and absolute perfection! I will never use film again!
Lady, you are the bees knees with all of your testing. I'm hitting the subscribe button because you are superior in what you do. Thanks for sharing your gift.
Crystal Ann I did the parchment paper DTF and I like it better than the actual DTF film! The gray tshirts are all DTF with parchment and the white one is Sublimation. Thank you!!!
I tried this hack finally (however I've never used DTF power). It does work but I wasn't expecting the texture on the shirt to feel like vinyl. I guess it's OK. Pretty freaking cool hack overall.
Good morning, Crystal, I saw someone else do this hack on parchment paper as well. It worked beautifully!!! That’s a clean release!!! Thanks for reminding me about the parchment paper hack. It’s all in the powder, and I have lots of it that someone purchased and apparently returned. My friend purchased a dozen containers of BRAND NEW from the Amazon storefront that sells returns!!! Best day ever for my DTF HACK! I’m glad my friend looked out for me while on the hunt for things to sell on eBay! Great job, Crystal!!!
❤Oh my. I’m very new to sublimation. And have been watching & learning everything I can about this craft! And I must admit I love it! I was actually looking to see if I could sublimate on a pair of croc I just purchased! Yes I can. And then I found you & you are awesome! The DTF Hack blew me away! Thank you for sharing. 🤗Looking forward to watching more of your videos. ✌️
Thank you so much! I just ordered film this morning from amazon but was able to cancel that and order the parchment paper! Much better value - and I wanted to do larger prints anyway!
Crystal Ann, First I want to say thank you for the heating the dtf film hack with an electric griddle it worked amazingly well, I also have a canon pro 200 printer wich I will test the parchment paper prints to try and save money on film at least for my light garment t shirts.All my other prints are fine with my procolored printer.Cant thank you enough.
Yeah she be on point, because I was just thinking the day I said well what's so special about this transfer paper? Now we just need to figure out how to make the powder😅😅😅😅
OMG I figured it out in 2015, except used the wood instead. Never use any powder or heat press. Used my credit card to rub on like repeatedly. It looks so awesome!! Learned a lesson was that after printed an image then I walked across the hallway, it dried the printed sheet. So I had to print for second time, brought my wood sign with me, just next to the printer. Once printed, then put it on wood, rubbed like medium, not too rough. BOOOOM!! Big black, adorable mustache!!😊😊😊
I would love to see the screen print version of this as well.. Thank You CrystalAnn for showing Us all these wonderful dupes and hacks. Its nice to see them done before we go an invest in all the supplies and it then be a fail.... I love all your videos
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat wow i'm getting a used sublimation printer tonight and in the uk baking paper that's the same I think, so, can I ask 1. can you use this on dark cotton fabrics and 2. can you cure the paper and save it to press at a later date ??? I am so curious to find out this and super super excited to try it
This is amazing. I’m a newbie to all this and am excited to learn. I have a new inkjet printer. I’ll watch the tutorial for that, but I have to know if it turned out as well as this one.
I used the same settings I normally use for my sawgrass polyester ,and tru pix classic paper. I have seen others that have an Epson have success but I'm not sure what settings they used ❤️
You are so welcome! yes I have seen epson users removing the roller or using a piece of card board on top of the piece the grabs the film as it comes out to keep it flat there is lots of hacks on TikTok search epson DTF hack
Greetings, I'm doing it for the first time, after printing the image and placing the powder, how long do I have to cure it before applying it to the shirt, thanks, excellent tutorial
after watching so many videos this one made me proud ...... only problem is my design came out grainy and it felt more plastic then soft. any suggestions on what I may have done wrong ? Thank you for posting this video and many more
CrystalAnn....I sooo want a DTF printer, but for now, I’m gonna try your inkjet hack...my question is, Can you print photos and use the powder? Thanks...love all your ideas😊
Question: You didn't cure the powder before pressing - does that mean you don't have to on the dtf film as well? I guess I'm wondering when to cure and when not to cure 🙂
You don't have to cure on both parchment and film but you have to make sure you place it where it needs to go and don't shift it as the powder is loose. if you want to save them for later you can cure them
CrystalAnn. I have done 5 DTF with the dtf film and powder. I have the sawgrass 1000. I am setting the powder on an electric griddle for 1 minute. I then press medium pressure onto white iron on at 300 for 20 seconds. My issue is I don’t get clean borders of my images. They look fuzzy and frayed. Like. Crayon melted instead of a sharp image like yours. Any suggestions?
You and your videos are awesome. Is there a way to do this same dupe on darker shirts? I have a sublimation printer so that's what I will be using. I appreciate any suggestions, you may already have a video about this. Thank you.
WHAT?!?!?! This is so awesome!! And a money saver!!! I have parchment paper in the 16x20 size so I can print larger items too!! Well, I can print 13x19 with my Sawgrass 1000 at least. Thank you so very much Crystal!! 🎉💐🎊💖🥳💛
@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Oh honey, I absolutely agree!! I love everything you teach us, but this is seriously amazing!! I can create so much more than I thought with this parchment paper hack!! 🫶🫶🫶🩷🩷🩷
Quick question I have an Epson 7710 and I have 2 paper trays so my question is when I put the paper in do the parchment side be face up in the printer tray or faced down. Help please or can you do a video on how you load the parchment paper into your printer
@shuntiasims9032 If you're putting your paper in a tray, you would put the parchment paper face UP. Be careful, though, because your paper may jam in your printer. I've never put my paper in my tray. I have a rear loading slot on my printer. It works great, so far. Good luck.
Yaaayyyy!! I was waiting for this video. This is AMAZING!!! I’ll be stocking up on parchment paper for sure 😂 You’re awesome love!! Those colors came out so vibrant and it’s beautiful 😍 I’m hyped 😅stay blessed bestie 🥰
@YouCanTotallyMakeThat ok thank you very much cause when I double press an all black design,it's like it lift off some of the ink making it look cracked
Hi LOOKS GREAT!!! Question: do you need to change any printer Settings Does it Smear - I still cannot get the correct settings on DTF Film I've ruined so many. Thank YOU!!!
The room needs to be well ventilated. I cure mine outside in the garage with the door open and I wear a mask. I don't want to take any chances inhaling the fumes.
Yes just keep in mind the color will wash out but the black will not so stick to all black designs or if it color apply it to items that don't get washed like a hat, pillow or a tote bag etc
So... This is kind of amazing. Do you mind if I ask a few questions? 1. This will work with any sublimation printer, correct? The Sawgrass SG500 | SG1000 print heads are similar to an inkjet and other sublimation printers. 2. Is there a reason for not curing the print? I'm assuming you can't cure it because it will melt the parchment paper wax, correct? Have you tried curing the print? 3. I've read your comments and you say the print hold up well to washing, and you have washed that hoodie several time for your daughter. Could you please make a video showing the washed hoodie? Thank you for your reply in advance.
Thank you and questions are always welcome! 1. that is correct each printer is different so you may have to change up how you print for example some people are saying they print direct to the parchment with out having to tape it to paper. 2. Since it's a hack you don't need to cure it. curing melts the powder to allow you to store or ship them. Yes you can still cure with the parchment paper as it's made for high heat. 3. I will get the shirt from my daughter and do an updated short video. Hope this helps
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Thanks for replying. Interesting, I thought the hack was using the parchment paper. Not curing the paper seems like it might cause too many issues with placement and wasted garments, or time if you can completely remove it ink and save the garment. Regardless, I will give the parchment paper a try. If it really works as you showed it will save a ton of money.
@@OneLastMidnight Your welcome. I get your concern if you don't cure it yes you do have to make sure you place it down one time so you don't shift the powder. Lots of people like to cure for the extra security and that's totally optional for the hack. happy Crafting
Question! So since we’re using sub.. we can’t “print” white ink, so if we print one that has white will it just be blank like usual or do we need to avoid white? I’m super excited to try this!
I have been seeing lots of issues with this on the Epson I seen a video the other day of someone that converted an epson to DTF ink and they cut a board down to size to lay at the opening of the printer so when the paper comes out it stays flat.
Oh my gosh i tried the hack on regular print paper and cardstock as the carrier but both ways came out faded. Used the powder cured and one not cured l, not cured came out a little darker. I know my computer is about 7 years old HP 8710 All In OneThe look i noticed was it looked as if it was printed as a draft. I used the Parchment paper from dollar tree. Im waiting on my dtf film to arrive. Thanks for the video and your knowledge.
@YouCanTotallyMakeThat an update on the DTF hack... I used the DTF transfers from yamation and the print came out so vibrant and colorful but it only shows real good on white but when I tried it on dark the image came out really dark almost like a black. Also I believe the parchment paper that I used may have been the problem. Thanks again at least now I can print full color transfers on white and I'm not limited to the heat transfer sheets that I use sometimes
Is there any way to do this on darker colors without using a vinyl base or a dtf/white toner printer? Love this for light colored cotton products, now we just need someone to figure out a hack for the darker colors 😉
Two questions. 1. The DTF a powder you linked in this post says it’s for dark colored shirts. Does that really matter, or is it usable on light colors as well? 2. What’s the difference in printing on parchment paper vs regular copy paper? If regular copy paper works as good, wouldn’t it be the cheaper option? Thanks! I’m genuinely curious of this.
The DTF powder is for light and medium colors not sure why it says that lol as for the parchment paper its cheaper and has a better release you can't use paper because the powder would melt to it
Can you tell me where to watch thw video for using thw parchment paper with a converted epson inkjet printer. I may be overlooking it, but i cant find it... Such a great hack, i used to do this trick years ago when transfering photos to wood!
I think I seen the answer I was looking for but maybe mines didn't work because my Parchment paper is in a roll so it won't stay straight, lol but I'm about to try a straight Parchment paper. Sincerely Ms. Thompson 😄
Do you think this hack would work using Easy Subli ink? I have never sublimated before but trying to decide what ink I should get with my sg500. And I am leaning to Easy Subli ink. Thank you for all your videos you have been so helpful. I hope you are feeling better. I pray for wisdom for your doctors,
Thank you from what I know it does not. I would just make sure it doest get to hot like for example I wouldn't store it in my garage :) hope this helps
Thank you so happy to hear this! Only if you add a layer of white HTV underneath. you need that white layer to pop off Dark and unfortunately they don't have a white powder. now you can do this on lighter colors for sure
I saw a video and she was using a spice shaker to sprinkle on the powder. GENIUS!!!!!
Nice! Dollar tree just had those May of 2024
Use an old spaghetti Parmesan container
@@TheWanderer2527 what about clumping?
@@HouseofdesignLive keep it in dry location...mine is in old spaghetti storage Tupperware type cyclinder
I'm tripping! This literally works! My printer even took the parchment paper without taping it! You have a new subscriber! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you so much for subscribing and testing it without the tape I have been wondering so even better woot woot
I’m running 🏃♀️ home to try this I’m excited 🤣🤣🤭🤗

By not having a white ink under base will not last.
I’ve never seen anyone not cure the powder 😮 I’m amazed!
Glad I taught you something new
So cure the powder is also baking transfer???
Brilliant tried it tonight came out amazing
Can you still melt the powder on the image if not using right away with the parchment paper method?
Did you watch the video?
Hi crystal what printer setting do i use for the dtf on parchment paper i have the eco 15000 ,and Thank you for all your videos.
I used the same settings I normally use for my sawgrass polyester ,and tru pix classic paper. I have seen others that have an Epson have success but I'm not sure what settings they used ❤️
totally going to try this. hopefully i won't have black marks like the first time i did the dtf hack. thanks for sharing!
How did it go?
This is awesome!!! Maybe I will get less roller marks on the parchment paper than I have on the film. Thanks so much for the video!!!

hi crystal one more question can u cure the glue on the parchment also before pressing it.I would also like to see the screen printing also.
Yes you can
Love the videos, what causes roller marks on the dtf film when printing
Its the rollers some people remove them or add cardboard up to the rollers
I am SO excited to see this hack! I haven't tried DTF yet...but I definitely will be doing that now.

Hi, I have bought the same parchment paper from Amazon that you demonstrated. Does it matter whih side I print on? thanks
It does not both sides are coated with this silicone wax
This is AWESOME!!! Have you tried it on the brown parchment paper or just the white? Wondering if it’ll make a difference.
It will work just the same :)
How did it hold after washing and I may have missed it did you heat seal after pressing
It washes so nice no issues at all. You only need to press it once but you can press once more if you like
That turned out fantastic.I’m going to have to try this method. Thanks for the video.
Thank you happy to hear this your going to love it

Does it matter which side of the parchment paper you use?
Hello I was wondering if you can do the DTF on wood? using the hack ?
Yes you can pre press your wood first to pull out any moisture
I'm impressed with that omg I have a roll of parchment paper I'm going to try this ❤️👌
Can this be done on black, dark shirts? New to the DTF world. Thx❤
The only way is if you layer it on top of white HTV ❤️
Can you use it on a dark colored shirt like a black or navy blue?
only if you layer it on top of white HTV or it will become tone on tone
I tried it and it's so much brighter than my regular dtf but should I double press? 🤔 and for how long?
you don't have to double press but I you do just for 5 - 10 seconds
@YouCanTotallyMakeThat ok thank you very much cause when I double press an all black design,it's like it lift off some of the ink making it look cracked
Hi LOOKS GREAT!!! Question: do you need to change any printer Settings Does it Smear - I still cannot get the correct settings on DTF Film I've ruined so many. Thank YOU!!!
Sawgrass or Epson? I used polyester settings with truepix classic paper settings
I have an Epson 8550
Can you do this with black garments or any other dark color especially black though???
You can layer it on top of white HTV to get it to show up on black
Wow!!! I’m so excited!! Thank you for always testing for us!! ❤️❤️❤️
Me too 🥳 You are so welcome! 🤗
Anxious to try this!! Thanks for doing the testing!
Yay! You will love it and your welcome thank you for watching
should you be using mask or filter when heating up powder. i have heard once powder is heated its toxic.

Can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I use an epson f570 printer. Is is safe to put the paper with tape through the printer without it jamming up? Excellent video can't wait to try it
Thank you and yay! yes it is 😀
Oh my gosh i tried the hack on regular print paper and cardstock as the carrier but both ways came out faded. Used the powder cured and one not cured l, not cured came out a little darker. I know my computer is about 7 years old HP 8710 All In OneThe look i noticed was it looked as if it was printed as a draft. I used the Parchment paper from dollar tree. Im waiting on my dtf film to arrive. Thanks for the video and your knowledge.
Your so welcome I need to go to the dollar tree and find some parchment paper ❤️
@YouCanTotallyMakeThat an update on the DTF hack... I used the DTF transfers from yamation and the print came out so vibrant and colorful but it only shows real good on white but when I tried it on dark the image came out really dark almost like a black. Also I believe the parchment paper that I used may have been the problem. Thanks again at least now I can print full color transfers on white and I'm not limited to the heat transfer sheets that I use sometimes
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat also you might get lucky and find the sheets of parchment paper at certain Dollar Tree stores versus being on the rolls
W hat an amazing hack! Did you use a sublimation printer for this? Please know you are so appreciated for all you do. Tfs and God Bless 💜🥰
Yes I did
Is this hack for white shirts/ apparel only? Polyester or Cotton? Thank you
light to medium colors and both polyester and cotton
It would be nice to know how durable it is now that its been tested... Great video awesome hack
PLEASE PLEASE would you please do the screen print transfer ? Thank you in advance... also thank you for all your help doing these videos.
You got it video coming soon ❤️ Your welcome thank you for watching
Is there any way to do this on darker colors without using a vinyl base or a dtf/white toner printer? Love this for light colored cotton products, now we just need someone to figure out a hack for the darker colors 😉
After peel the parchment paper away, do you have use the heat press to seal it or cure it. I don't know the term
That’s amazing! I thought I needed a higher temperature to activate the ink color.
385F is perfect 👍
Question, Will you press it again for 15 sec to seal it?
Good question
You can I usually do that to smooth out for 5 seconds. You don't have to with this one its so smooth
Two questions.
1. The DTF a powder you linked in this post says it’s for dark colored shirts. Does that really matter, or is it usable on light colors as well?
2. What’s the difference in printing on parchment paper vs regular copy paper? If regular copy paper works as good, wouldn’t it be the cheaper option?
Thanks! I’m genuinely curious of this.
The DTF powder is for light and medium colors not sure why it says that lol as for the parchment paper its cheaper and has a better release you can't use paper because the powder would melt to it
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat thank you for the response. It definitely makes sense. 🩵
Great tutorial! Where is the link for the inkjet dtf hack please? 😀
Thank you here Is the link th-cam.com/video/PEqaXauKWqc/w-d-xo.html
Can you tell me where to watch thw video for using thw parchment paper with a converted epson inkjet printer. I may be overlooking it, but i cant find it... Such a great hack, i used to do this trick years ago when transfering photos to wood!
What side of tha parchment paper is printed on? Thx you
The Side with the wax the ones I use are double sided
I think I seen the answer I was looking for but maybe mines didn't work because my Parchment paper is in a roll so it won't stay straight, lol but I'm about to try a straight Parchment paper.
Sincerely Ms. Thompson

Do you think this hack would work using Easy Subli ink? I have never sublimated before but trying to decide what ink I should get with my sg500. And I am leaning to Easy Subli ink. Thank you for all your videos you have been so helpful. I hope you are feeling better. I pray for wisdom for your doctors,
yes it would work great did you finally go with the easy subli?
Yes! Screen print demo, please!
You got it 😀
I love the video. I'm new at all of this. My question is. Will this work on dark color t-shirts? Thank you
you can get away with light to medium just stay away from black, navy blue dark purple etc :)
Great instructional video. Just curious does DTF powder have a shelf life...does it expire in quality? thx
Thank you from what I know it does not. I would just make sure it doest get to hot like for example I wouldn't store it in my garage :) hope this helps
Awesome…!!! Can this be cured like the film…? Thanks for sharing…❤
Thank you and you're welcome 🤗 Yes it can!
How do you cure it and can you cure it if using an inkjet printer would that help make it washable
CrystalAnn… can i sublimate using glitter dtf powder directly on dark cotton? I learned a lot from you. Thx for your videos…
Thank you so happy to hear this! Only if you add a layer of white HTV underneath. you need that white layer to pop off Dark and unfortunately they don't have a white powder. now you can do this on lighter colors for sure
Can u cure it with a heat press before putting it on the shirt?
yes you can
