Thank you so much. I was "TIED", lol. But I'm happy I figured it out. I think the reason it stomped me so much is because I didn't stick with the regular method of taping the paper to the back. My brain was working too hard, lol.
Thank you for being so truthful with your feelings, I've given up on most things because I blamed myself for not knowing enough or whatever got discouraged and stopped. But seeing you try and not give up GIRL!!! gave me a new found respect for us trying to do something nice and make a good living... Again Thanks.
Omg thank you so much. There is something about having someone else who can relate to a struggle or struggles you're going through. Thank you so much for that. I needed to hear that.
Hi just a little help i came across with the Dtf hack to make the DTF film to pass through your printer is down to your printer rollers my sublimation printer also loads from the back i discovered by adding a thick piece of card in the back of the printer when it rests against the rollers it engages them so when you load the DTF film it just goes through your printer like normal paper no jams or none printing on the film it works perfectly. So to get thick cardstock just glue 5 or 6 layers of 250gsm A4 card stock together and you have it this saved me so much hassle after a lot of persevering and fiddling with it, because i tried the tape trick but this didn't work for me, but this works perfect every time. best of luck girl x
I know I’m about 7 months late, but I have an epson printer that did the exact same thing a week after I bought it. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and haven’t had the problem since! Great video and beautiful shirt!!
The film is not made to go through that type of printer. That's why when you taped the paper on the back it printed correctly. I'm glad you figured it out. Shirt looks amazing!!
I know. I was thinking too hard about it. I've used the same method with EasySubli. I think I kept trying different ways because I'd seen some other videos where it worked without using the same printer.
Just watched this video, and I was pulling for you, lol. I am glad you stuck it out. Someone may have mentioned this already, but I think it works best if you let it cure fully before pressing. I think the shirt turned out great, and you got a new subscriber.
Hey Ashley, I'm here again lol! Im just enjoying your videos. I wanna learn more about dtf printing. I am using the same film #Cendale with #Cendale powder. I have another brand which is #Kasyu. I am also using the inkjet printer since im new and still learning everything. #DTF printers are expensve ayayayy!!! I have that experienced many times and wasted a lot of #dtffilms and ink! the #stickypad that was included in the dft film when i bought it works but after a couple of use it doenst work anymore. I have learned and tried using the #painterstape instead. I taped it vertically on the shiny side of the dtf film and Oh my GUACAMOLY it worked like a charm! wooot woot!! It was printing and that's what i was doing since last night lol! I am stil enjoying your vieos coz ive experience this too. I still have tons to learn in dtf printing as well as sublimation using iron on vinyls. Thank you again for doing this realistic video you made. Love the finale dance lol. Godbless!
Thank you so much. I did. It didn't really have a problem gripping it to start. It was losing grip after the areas where I put tape. So once I put the paper and tape completely behind the film it was able to keep a continuous grip throughout the print. But thank you girl I was struggling unnecessarily. I've done this method a thousand time with Easysubli so I should have known better.
Thank you so much, I was having the same printer and the same problem with the paper. I was using transfer tape to line my papers up and they would always come apart or print like yours did.
Thank you so much for watching. No I haven't tried it on black. I'm not really interested really, lol. I use dtv alot so that usually does the trick for most designs. I think it's much more complicated for blacks isn't it?
I appreciate seeing you not give up because I struggled with my first time as well. I stumbled on something that worked but when I tried it again, the same process didn’t work so I had to try something else… I will definitely try your way next time to see if it works better…. Thank you for proving that you should never give up!!!🎉
I know exactly what you went through...same thoughts...same trails...brings backs memories...I like this method but won't be using it a lot ..will definitely be getting a dtf printer
I love how it came out i to had to experience it not printing but then I used copy paper and scotch tape as well and it been a success each time , I also know it does last longer if you cure it first before pressing on to shirt I’m not sure if you did that part I love it how it came out love you can also play with the color setting on print setting options before printing , and a second press secures the image to shirt for even better results
Hey, thank you so much for watching. So, the color settings, I usually adjust the color settings but this day I was so focused on the printing process. I did another one after the video was over. I adjusted the colors, and it looked so much better. Oh, and I also did a second press. I had to cut so much out because the video was too long. But yes, girl thank you so much for sharing your experience. I love hearing about other people's experiences. Honestly, I knew better because I used the same method when printing on EasySubli. Watching other people print directly to the film without using paper is what distracted me, lol.
I put the tape on mines and it worked great i used my oven to melt the power i thought i left it in to long seeing that the paper was burning lol but it came out great wish i could post a pic
I have an issue that I can't figure out, I get the pizza wheel lines in all my DTF prints. I have tried different brands of film and still have the issue. does anyone have any suggestions? Yours looks fabulous!
Oh my God this is how I feel right now with mine. 😂😂😂 My small one works no problem my larger 15000 will not print to the dtf sheet, I'm crying inside😂😂😂
Girl the stress. I tried to print easy subli the other day and couldn't get that damn thing to work. I printed one sheet and then it wouldn't grab anymore. I think I have an idea I'm just not sure how to execute it yet, lol.
@@AustinsLab_ I did and it didnt work yesterday but today it did!! NOW my issue is the thin black lines (roller marks or smears) running down the image. Ugh. I think with the scotch tape the trick is having a small gap from the top of the sheet... so a quarter inch or half an inch of the dtf film exposed then the white paper. That seems to work for me, it would not work with the papers perfectly aligned. Good luck, this is a love/hate game right here lol
Yep I had noticed that it was losing grip and would just spit the film out. So once I taped the paper to the back it kept grip and finished printing. I hope it works for you. Come back and let me know.
Hello, how do I get the picture to stick? I’ve put a picture I printed in a bin, put that powder on it and cured it on a griddle at 385 and pressed it for 30 seconds at 320 and let it cool for about 15 mins and the picture doesn’t stick all the way. What do I do now?
Hello. I think it may be because your temperature needs to be at 385 and press for 40 seconds with firm pressure. You said you pressed at 320 for 30 seconds.
@@AustinsLab_ thanks, I finally pressed at 385, I had to put more dtf powder after I initially put powder on. Then when I was curing it , I put more powder on there
@@ricardobrooks4337 For the hack I believe the same temperature as the press temp. 385 for about 2 minutes. I didn't cure mine in this video tho. I will on the next one.
You know what, I saw someone do that too. Put one long strip of tape down the back of the transfer paper and it worked for her. I haven't bothered much since the video but I'm going to try that as well. Thank you so much for watching.
Yep I did that. Thats why I was frustrated because I'd seen other videos where that method worked. But I just needed to stick to what I already knew from using EasySubli.
Your shirt is beautiful. This is the first time that I’ve seen you you have done an excellent job on your patience was fabulous.
Thank you so much. I was "TIED", lol. But I'm happy I figured it out. I think the reason it stomped me so much is because I didn't stick with the regular method of taping the paper to the back. My brain was working too hard, lol.
It looks good. Girl, thanks for sticking it out. Can't nobody see those imperfections but you.
Lol! Thank you. 😊
*Glad to see you push through this* and _get it done all while explaing_ to us _GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU !!!!!_
Thank you!

Your message resonates wayyyyy past this video.
Hey hunni when I use it , I put just painters tape on the back to rig the printer to accept it. Hope that helps 💙💙
Hey thank you. I'm going to try that next time.

You can just hold the film as it starts to print!You did a great job!

Good job! I would have given up after the second time. Lol

Thank you so much, I was having the same printer and the same problem with the paper. I was using transfer tape to line my papers up and they would always come apart or print like yours did.
Thank you so much for watching. Did my method help?
You got to let the picture hover under heat more until the powder melt more. You left the picture grainy.
Ok I'll do that next time. I gotta test it out again this week anyway. Thank you.
I felt your pain, you are just like me when it comes down to tech stuff.' I love your attitude. have you tried on black with the powder?
Thank you so much for watching. No I haven't tried it on black. I'm not really interested really, lol. I use dtv alot so that usually does the trick for most designs. I think it's much more complicated for blacks isn't it?

That's definitely one of my next investments for sure. Thank you for watching!
What type of ink are you using? Is that just regular sublimation ink with the DTF powder on top?
Yes it is sublimation ink with dtf powder on top. Sorry if I cut that out.

Great video but do you put the taped part in first so it can grab or no thank you
Yes but the tape is on the back of the paper just to give some texture for the rollers to grip.
Oh ok thank u
I can’t wait to start ordering more shirts
Me too girl lol
It looks great, what brand is the t-shirt that you used.
Thank you. I believe that one is Lane Seven.
I put the tape on mines and it worked great i used my oven to melt the power i thought i left it in to long seeing that the paper was burning lol but it came out great wish i could post a pic
Make a post and tag me so I can see.
New subscriber. Love you channel. ❤
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing 😊
reheat again after you pressed the first time for like 15secs to seal in and it will become brighter,
Thank you. I will try.
The shirt looks great!!
Thank you
Girl dont throw that paper away use a wipe to wipe it off and let it dry the retry.
Oh wow! I didn't think about that. That paper is long gone, lol.
That was smart!
What can you wipe it with please?
I had that same problem , same printer after 2 sheets it started printing until the end. I’ll try again with the way you did
Ok let me know how it turns out. I saw someone else said they used one strip of tape down the back of the transfer sheet and that worked too.
Your computer setting to to print premium color has to be the same as on your printer premium if not you'll get lines
Thank you. I'm going to try it again soon and use ypu guys tips.
Looks good!
Thank you so much for watching.
looks great ❤🎉 you did awesome

Oh wow that's different. Have you tried cleaning the print heads? Or try reducing the density in the print settings.
How are your prints after a few washes?
I haven't washed it yet. I'm glad you said something. I'm going to wash it today.

Do you have a video on the color settings you universally use. Please
I'm not sure which video ita on but I'm going to make a new one very soon. I haven't tested tried it again since this video.
@@AustinsLab_ oh cool okay thank you I'll keep checking back 💜
if you cure it the colors would have been brighter. You can see the colors change during the curing process.
Ok thank you. I did a second one after the video with color adjustments, and it came out perfectly. I didn't cure that one either.
I just purchased my Epson f170 2 days ago and I’m having that same problem. I’m going to try that and hopefully it works for me

So did you use sublimation ink on this.
Yes.
@@AustinsLab_ thanks
@@Cfeldersproduction007 You're welcome. I converted my Epson 2760 into sublimation.
What program u use to print?
I believe I printed directly from photoshop. If not photoshop, had to be adobe illustrator.
Also, Thank you so much for watching
What it’s suppose to do?
It allows you to use sublimation ink on cotton shirts.
I like it
Thank you
You didn’t heat it after you put the powder on to heat it
Right! I will next time.
Tape a peace of regular print paper to the back of it
Lol I did.
It’s not reading put a strip of tape up and down the transfer paper
You know what, I saw someone do that too. Put one long strip of tape down the back of the transfer paper and it worked for her. I haven't bothered much since the video but I'm going to try that as well. Thank you so much for watching.
Just put like 50 sheets of copy paper in the tray
Yep I did that. Thats why I was frustrated because I'd seen other videos where that method worked. But I just needed to stick to what I already knew from using EasySubli.
And thank you so much for waching Nathan.
You didn’t cure it?
No. It's not necessary for one shirt. And I was careful not to shift the image around on the tshirt to avoid smearing.
your son is so cute
Thank you
