🚨Wash test was a success we finally figured out why some inkjet printers were having success with color! it needs to be a pigment inkjet printer. Tip you need to powder and press asap or powder and cure asap
can you bring screen printing kits to your tutorials, ive been researching & curious about that im stuck between DTF & screen printing but my creations are leaning more towards screen printing🤔
It takes a village to figure out why some inks work and others don't - so happy this is such a sharing community of crafters. Thx as always Crystal! 🥰🖨
Amazing, Thank you so much for trying this out and so happy the colours stayed true and didn't almost disappear like the dye ink one did.. You're an absolute diamond Crystal 😘❤️
Thank you for this video and telling us about this pigment printer to use because I love the DTF but don't want to spend the DTF printer money for an actual DTF printer. Have a great day.
I have the Godora Transfer powder that you use sometimes but I cannot find if it is a hot or cold peel. Please help.. Love your videos you have taught me so much. Thanks
Thanks for this tutorial, I had asked about lines and what paper settings to use for the DTF hack with my sublimation printer. I’m excited to try the suggested settings and see if that makes a difference. I do need to order more of the films because I have used all mine up trying to figure out the problem. My sublimation printer is an Epson and feeds from the back, I do not need to tape to other paper which I am thankful for.
Yay! let me know how it goes The one that I let set for 3 hours had issues where the other 2 did not so the tip here is work quickly powder and cure asap
Thank you. You listened to comments and solved a problem. Pigment printers usually cost more and cartridges makes it even more costly. I converted an et-2720 to pigment for over 3 years now and still working well. Like any inkjet printers, it clogs if not used and remained idle. Ink is cheap (on eco tanks) and it likes printing high quality matte atleast 2x a week minimum. I never had print cleaning maintenance even once. I downloaded a 4 color template that has the exact colors CYMK of the cartridge.
You can also buy a CISS system if you're going to be doing a lot of printing & buy the ink in bulk. There's no reason to use EPSON inks as there a 3rd party sellers that are much cheaper even if you use cartridges. You only have to be certain that you order pigment ink when you buy from them. Some of the sellers were doing refilled cartridges with standard ink because they didn't know pigment was required for shirts. If you're not doing a lot of printing, forget about the CISS & use refilled cartridges because you can buy them in sets rather than separately. The savings are actually quite substantial.
@@danihall4538 A printer can't be converted from standard inks to pigment or vice-versa. The cartridges are totally different. Given the price of the printers, it's not an issue. The ink is the cost.
Can you use the dtf on tumblers? I don't do any dtf or sublimation as I just craft for me and my family though your videos keep making me want to. I would want something that can do all the things (or at least the majority) without spending much as I don't get any money for my projects. Thanks for all your videos and motivation.
When you talk about how long you let the dtf sit - was this 3hrs after you printed and powdered before you cured? Or after you printed, powdered and cured? Does this make a difference if you dont use pigment ink? Thanks!!!
These came out beautiful 😍 love them! I won’t invest in another printer (don’t have the space for it 🤣 🤦🏽♀️) however I will continue with the sublimation one. Your tips and hacks have been amazing! Thank you so much beautiful 😊 stay blessed love 🥰
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Hello! Can you talk a little about why you feel that sublimination is better?? I have been using my pigment ink printer to do transfers following this video (Thank you so much!) But I've been having so many issues with my printer and the ink costs, that I have been considering sublimination instead. But I read that sublimination on tshirts fade much faster than pigment. (Is that true?) Can you talk a little about why you like sublimination more? Thank you so much for these videos
Hey Crystal Ann! You have taught me so much! I do tumblers and I want to print my own clear cast decals that have a white backing. What type of printer would I use? DTF?
I have two questions. First I’m having a hard time trying to get the correct color to print out on the pigment ink printer. How do you correct the color? Second, have you used the black DTF powder? I’ve heard it’s good for dark fabrics.
I have a new EPSON Expression Home XP 4105 that I bought a year that I have used, am I able to use that? If not, would you suggest to convert it to sublimated it?
@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Thank you for the response. I purchased it last year to covert it but never got the chance, then I started looking at your hacks and now I don't see the point of the extra trouble if it's not worth it for my hobby and small business. Most of my business deals with rhinestones t-shirts and products and vinyl, however, I just want to be able to provide the vibrancy of sublimation or the DTF look. So I want to make sure that I understand you correctly. Today 7/24/23, you were talking about some kind of "pigment" ink cartridge that was compatible with the Epson or inkjet printers and I wanted to know if going this route is the same as going the sublimation way, if not, which is more cost-effective? Lastly, has the home conversion for the sublimation process gotten less messy, lol? Ty
I looked up the information on the WF-2960 and it is NOT designed for sublimation printing. Am I misunderstanding something here? I bought an Epson 2720 , converted it and after about 40 prints it wouldn't turn on. Eepson said I voided the warranty. I want to be sure I stoll have my warranty
I would like to know or confirm if the pigment ink used in the printer are water based or oil based? Will that matter? I hope someone can confirm please, thank you
Thank you so much for this! I tried to do this hack with a Brother printer I have and it was a total fail! I have an Epson and after watching this video I am excited to try again before having to buy a printer! I’m hoping my next go around is way better
I am having a hard time finding anything labeled pigment ink, i dont see a link as you mentioned in your (hella awesome) video. So excited to start!!!!!
Yes, you can. I do that and works. Pull out old dye ink with surge and put in pigment ink. I have Epson L3251 EcoTank and I put in tanks Epson 112 pigment ink.
So this is great but it still doesn't address the no white in issue. I think I would still do an offset in white and just print it on printable vinyl. Way easier for one of prints or order online.
I have one question, could you use this same process (pigment dtf hack) on white htv vinyl and or regular Oracle 651 vinyl? Im curious to see if this dtf adhesive would hold to other substrates, Oracle 651 and white htv vinyl to be exact. Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated. Love your videos ❤️👍
I hope this question isn't completely crazy but here goes. How do we get the designs other than buying a complete bundle which are beautiful. I am a home crafter and have the cricut cutter with design space. This is where I get most all my designs. I am a cricut member and my be resigning and using DTF since I found your videos and are so good. Thank you for your help.
If you have the Cricut access for design space I would get your designs there I will be showing you how to do this next week stay tuned. I'm so excited that Cricut has most of these design on Cricut design space
Hey, Ann! I've been trying for days to print with my Epson l4150 on dtf film without any success. It either stops during printing or not feeding the film at all. I've tried any setup(glossy, ultra glossy, plain paper) but it doesn't seem to work. Could you give me a piece of advice in this problem. Much appreciated
I have been seeing lots of solutions over on TikTok if you search for the epson dtf hack there is a ton of help there from removing the roller bar or adding a piece of cardboard where the film comes out
Thanks for all the videos you share with us. They are very helpful and I hope to start my sublimation journey soon. My question today is what is the difference between DTF Transfer film and Sublimation paper. I don't want to purchase products unnecessarily.
Thank you I'm so happy to hear that! The difference between the 2 is the ink sits on top of the film it's like a plastic if you will. so when you add the powder and press it to the shirt it releases it from the film similar to if you were to make cookies and you put them on a non stick pan they come right off you only need the film to get DTF out of your sublimation printer so you could have both worlds sublimation and DTF. DTF allows you to add your designs to cotton fabric where sublimation you need polyester. hope this helps
Good evening CrystaAnn, I have a question, how do you do so that the ant path does not appear? because I have been working on it on my Epson ET 2803 printer for Sublimation and I get the ant path thank you
Yay! So glad you figured it out!! If you Already own an epson ecotank printer Cosmos Ink sells pigment ink if you'd like to convert your printer😉 vs buying a new one!
with the inkjet you can do color designs on items you don't wash like tote bags pillow covers etc the black can be washed and will stay. The pigment inkjet printers last through the wash. Hope this helps
Most of my ink stays on the paper even after i peel it super cold. also my red color fades into an orange color after I press it. What am I doing wrong?
I noticed the same with my black it went to brown I'm thinking it has to do with the pigment ink. also if you don't powder it fast enough that will happen. Thants the down fall of pigment you have to work super fast
My inkjet printer I believe is a pigment inkjet. At lease that’s what google says. I will have to try this hack. I have a sublimation printer, but it will be fun to try both. Now just to buy the supplies.
Can you list all of the epson printers that contains pigment ink because I found one cheaper I just want to make sure it’s pigment ink and not dye ink.
I just received my dtf powder and film today, so tomorrow I am going to try to do a shirt. Does it have to be a white or gray shirt or can it be any color shirt?
Anyone tried Brother pigment printer (MFC-j6555dw)? I wanna try it out; all my laser printers are Brother and I know the setup, menu etc. I have a color Brother laser but I notice (even with paper that says I can use laser printer) in the wash it cracks and crumbles. Not sure if it is paper though (used same brand 1st time and all was perfect). 🤔 Any ideas would be great; never tried the DTF on any printer; love the idea thats part of why I want to switch out as well.
I have the HP Officejet pro 9010e and when I googled it it says it uses pigment ink. Waiting on my DTF powder and film to come in and I am testing it. Just got a Heat Press.
My one problem with this way of printing is the cost of the inks...I like sublimation, because the ink that you use is long lasting and you don't need to buy cartridges...I would figure that in the cost of the printers
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat I do subllimation as well but do you still need to have it on a polyester white shirt? Or does the poweder make that not matter?
😂 Your channel is amazing. Can I expand something on you as far as why the sublimation hack works? The DTF powder has what is called polyester and it because of that the sublimation adheres to the powder Meeting it will bond with the power that turns into the glue that is on the shirt. So in essence you're sublimating the polyester Fabric glue. Description below on what the powder is made with. I did elaborating this on my channel when I did sublimation Hack polyurethane: polyester and polyether. Both are highly effective in a diverse range of industries. Polyester urethane and polyether urethane are elastomers, meaning that they possess elastic properties, and both offer unique performance properties.😊
I went & bought this very printer followed your instructions completely and nothing transferred to my shirt I even checked to make sure my film was printed on correct side nothing still.
🚨Wash test was a success we finally figured out why some inkjet printers were having success with color! it needs to be a pigment inkjet printer. Tip you need to powder and press asap or powder and cure asap

It works best on lighter colors it fades off into the darker ones unless you apply it on top of white htv
Hp instant ink uses pigment ink also. FYI
Thank you so much for the info
I have the HP Officejet pro 9010e and when I googled it it says it uses pigment ink. Waiting on my DTF powder and film to come in and I am testing it. Just got a Heat Press.
@@ritaslone2793 let me know how it works out
My one problem with this way of printing is the cost of the inks...I like sublimation, because the ink that you use is long lasting and you don't need to buy cartridges...I would figure that in the cost of the printers
I agree love sublimation
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat I do subllimation as well but do you still need to have it on a polyester white shirt? Or does the poweder make that not matter?
@@tam8325 The glue sticks to all kinds of textile synthetic and natural
😂 Your channel is amazing. Can I expand something on you as far as why the sublimation hack works? The DTF powder has what is called polyester and it because of that the sublimation adheres to the powder Meeting it will bond with the power that turns into the glue that is on the shirt. So in essence you're sublimating the polyester Fabric glue. Description below on what the powder is made with.
I did elaborating this on my channel when I did sublimation
Hack
polyurethane: polyester and polyether. Both are highly effective in a diverse range of industries. Polyester urethane and polyether urethane are elastomers, meaning that they possess elastic properties, and both offer unique performance properties.😊
I went & bought this very printer followed your instructions completely and nothing transferred to my shirt I even checked to make sure my film was printed on correct side nothing still.
The thing I found with this one is the ink drys super fast you have to powder asap. Did you have your powder ready to go?
Don't always in light tshirt go on dark tshirt
