Thank you so much for your awesome tutorial! I have an Epson 2720 Ecotank printer for sublimation & with your awesome tutorial, I was able to make my first test run! Guess what? No roller marks. Thank you so much!
Yay!!!! I am so happy for you not having those darned roller marks!!! That is wonderful news! Thanks so much for watching and letting me know how your experience went.
After the cured film cools off I use a pencil eraser to remove the roller marks that can't be cut off. Bush lightly with a paint brush to remove pieces of the eraser. Works great for me.
Very helpful! Just made my 1st shirt with sublimation ink and dtf paper following this video. Only difference was my paper was a cool peel. Everything was perfect. Thank you for your guidance.
I believe I have a video showing through 2 washes, and then I have seen Crafting with Delonda do a wash test video on this hack. I have found this hack washes nicely.
Thank you so much for sharing! I have been trying to learn how to make DTF transfer’s because I make so many custom items so your tutorial really helped me save some coins!!
All printers are different but with DTF the more ink the more pizza wheeling. Normal with photo matte May work but plain paper normal most likely be the best. Good luck
Thank you so much for this video! You explained it so well. I have epson sublimation printer, and I haven’t had any trouble printing on the DTF paper. The problem I’ve been having it is it’s taking longer for the ink to melt from the powder on my DTF paper. But thank you so much for the wonderful explanation on how to do this. You are amazing.
I use double sided tape to attach the sheet of printer paper, so I don' get ink build up on the tape if I need the design to cover the whole DTF to the edges. Thank you for your videos!.
I was having the same problem printing the image on the film. I’m going to have to use that paper hack. Loved your video and tips! THANK YOU! Such a cute design.
You are awesome! I am just starting with my T-shirt business and made the rookie mistake of putting sublimation ink in my printer instead of DTF ink. This video saved me money...thank you, thank you, thank you and God Bless.
Thank you very much the product I bought game without any instructional video all written instructions you helped me a lot and getting the great result that I have achieved❤🎉😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉
Use a long piece of masking tape on the top to hold the two sheets together works like a charm!! U place small amount on film and fold over the rest to paper.
The most challenging part for me was figuring out how to get that film to go through my printer:) I hope it works well for you! The technique is so nice!
I've washed the shirt twice today and it's in the dryer for the second time. I will do a follow up video to show the results, as well as to show this process on other colors. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!!!
Second time watching. You always have a hack up your sleeve - lol. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for crafting. Best regards and God bless...
Thank you Marilyn for this Video. Well explained. This is just the video that I have been looking for. Looking forward to more tutoring from you. Be Blessed!
Thanks so much Roberta! The hardest part for me was figuring out how to get it to print on my printer. There are several tricks out there, but taping it to a sheet of printer paper is what eventually worked for me. Using painters tape at the top wasn't enough for my printer.
@@MakingwithMarilyn I’m 76 retired learning sublimation and love it . Do you know if I can do this on black hats? I’ve seen some videos on black shirts that did. Thank you so much for responding
@@BobbieBTexas You cannot do the sublimation dtf hack directly onto black hats. To do so, you would have to use a second hack. I have seen Cricuting with Delonda use this hack on a black shirt by placing a white base down first, but I do not remember what material she used as the base. I would check out her videos on it and you should find it.
I've never used a roll feed, but would love to someday. Hopefully someone with an F570 will see this and provide some input to you. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for the great video. I enjoy sublimation but a lot of my customers are asking for color shirts. I will try this as soon as I get the powder. How does it do when washed? Sorry if you have a video on that and I missed it.
It washes well, assuming your image is placed well on the shirt. I believe Crafting with Delonda has a wash test video on this Sublimation/DTF Hack process.
Mine have held up very well. I sent one to my great nephew and he wears his a lot. It's been at least 6 months ago and his mother said his shirt still looks very good. Delonda of Crafting with Delonda has a wash test video on her channel for this hack.
I don't know how long it can sit for sure, but I have waited a few days and there was no problem. True DTF can sit for a very long time before pressing. I don't see why this couldn't but I haven't tried it, so I do not know for sure.
When you cure the powder in the heat press before pressing it onto fabric, do you cover the top of the powder with anything? I use a teflon sheet when I press, wondering if it'll just end up sticking to that or the top of my heat press?
Yes, just don’t let the platen come down and make contact with the powder. It’s easier with a swing away but you could probably hold the platen on a clamshell up with wood blocks or something like that.
I've only used 2 brands of powder and film. I really don't see a difference in the film, but I had my best results with Yamation DTF powder. Here are the links that I had under the video, which will take you directly to the products: Yamation Film (15 sheets or 50 sheets) amzn.to/3tMLRKY Yamation Film (larger print size) amzn.to/3EXtKZj Yamation DTF Powder (various sizes available) amzn.to/3tLGbkh
@@kamilbihari I print it on a printer that has sublimation ink in it. I put the sublimation ink in the printer when I bought it instead of the ink that came with it. A lot of crafters do this with Epson Ecotank printers.
I have yet to print with just sublimation ink only.. waiting on my printer. I have printed on the dtf film with my inkjet ink, and it's not as vibrant, but it still comes out nice! What I did with the film, if my pic wasn't big I put painters tape on the chemical side up and feed it through the back of the Canon eco printer and as it came out I took the tape off and added the powder.
I have seen people do that, but for some reason it would not work on my finicky printer:) Thank you for the idea though because it might help others reading the comments.
Great tutorial and great result 😍 to confirm you cured the adhesive powder at 390 degrees and 120seconds, lowered the heat to press at 325 degrees for 10s, let cool for 10s then repressed with parchment paper same heat for 10s? I am Australian so I can’t get yamation which a lot of people seem to be using.. I got one that is double sided so I’m going to test if I can use both sides… thanks for sharing your success! ❤
Yes, that is correct. However, I have seen some people who have cured it for a shorter time and yesterday when I was doing this on several samples, 60 seconds was enough. So, watch it and once it turns clearish (you will see a distinct change), don't heat too much longer because it can burn according to people I have seen use dtf powder on dtf ink. Thanks for watching!
I have cured mine on an upside down Cricut easy press. I think I show that in one of my videos. I do use a regular heat press to press the design on since it has better pressure, though. I have seen people use an easy press to press them on, but you will just have to use very firm pressure with it. Thanks for watching!
Are you wondering if you can use them as sublimation printers? I have seen many people use the Epson Workforce printers as sublimation printers, but I have only use the Epson EcoTank printers as sublimation printers so don't really have an opinion on other ones.
Hi Marily. Question? Do you know if the Yamation DTF powder is less hazardous as the other DTF Powder. I read that most DTF powders are harmful. With that being said, I wonder if I were to use a glitter background with a printed DTF film will work without having to use the DTF powder?
I think they are probably all made from the same basic things, so I recommend using precautions and the appropriate PPE when using any of them, especially if you are using them on a regular basis. I don't see that working, but if you try it, let me know if it works for you.
I’ve only used medium and fine. They discontinued the fine so I only use medium now. I probably wouldn’t use the black with the hack since the sublimation inks aren’t opaque.
I don’t understand why the powder is on the outside and when you press it the powder is facing up? Wouldn’t it need to be face down on the shirt so the powder crystals stick to the shirt? Thanks
In the part of the video where the powder is facing up, it is just sitting under an open heat press to cure or melt the powder. After that, you turn it over and press it to your shirt or whatever you are adding it to. Thanks for watching.
Is using the thin Yamation paper critical? What’s the difference in using regular dtf paper? I have an F570 and my printer is not accepting the yamation🥲 even w tape.
I couldn't get mine to accept it with tape either. I had to have an entire sheet behind it taped to it. Any dtf film that you can get to run through your printer should be fine I would think.
So you want to put the DTF transfer on something that is plastic? I've never tried that, but the powder acts as the glue, so I would think you need it. I'm not sure if plastic will take the heat, though. Let me know if you try it?
Thank you for watching! I have used both my dtf printer and the sublimation printer for this hack to make prints on dtf film. The dtf powder adheres the hack transfers to the shirt and mine have laundered nicely.
It looks great. Crafting with Delonda has at least one video showing her wash tests on the dtf hack. In the video she shows how it looks after multiple washings.
With sublimation ink, the only way to have white to show in a design is to put the design on a white shirt. You would need an actual DTF printer to print white.
The next video I made on this process was a wash/dry test of it. Check it out if you want, but it came through 2 wash and dry cycles very very well. th-cam.com/video/YwioZxtrXpc/w-d-xo.html
I tried it on dark fabric to test it and it isn’t good unfortunately. I either showed it in a video or a Live event, but it didn’t really show up on darker fabric.
Does your workforce printer have sublimation ink in it? If so, then probably. But the film can be an issue going through different printers. Also, some people have done this hack with regular (not sublimation) ink. That didn't work so well for me.
@@shawnteosby9517 I did a search and I found Crystal Ann on Design Bundles do this with a Sawgrass printer. I don't know what brand of film she used, though.
I just finished and uploaded a video on the film/powder/sublimation. I have been pretty happy with the settings I use with minimal roller marks, but I will try the glossy paper.
Hi I have the same press are you just setting it under the press or are you actually letting it do the automatic press? If you are shouldn't I cover it?
You just let the top platen hover over it. You do not close it. You do not want it to touch the ink/powder while it is curing. Sorry I didn't show that better.
@@Jessica-wl3of You're welcome. I watched a video tonight where someone used the glossy photo paper setting. I used plain paper normal quality, but it's another option.
No, unfortunately, you cannot print on dark colors with this. I'm not sure which video it is, but I show what happens when you try dark colors. It's not good:)

how does print feel when you sublimate with dtf ? hard plastic or soft

Once it cures under the heat not touching..is it able to just sit after for weeks until I wanna press it onto item?

I do 265 degrees for 60 seconds, and it cures mine.
is it plausible to do the curing if I dont have access to a heat press like yours? (I own a cricut heat press)

No, I just let the print sit under it and hover the top platen over it. Thank you for watching!
Great tutorial ❤ I can use the dtf film on other colored shirts like black purple blue?
If you are using DTF ink, then yes, but if you are using sublimation ink like I am, then it has to go on light colors. Thanks for watching!

Hi Marily. Question? Do you know if the Yamation DTF powder is less hazardous as the other DTF Powder. I read that most DTF powders are harmful. With that being said, I wonder if I were to use a glitter background with a printed DTF film will work without having to use the DTF powder?
I think they are probably all made from the same basic things, so I recommend using precautions and the appropriate PPE when using any of them, especially if you are using them on a regular basis. I don't see that working, but if you try it, let me know if it works for you.
I did mines and yes there’s printer marks :(
Thank you beautiful video ❤️
Did you scratch them off after the DTF powder cured? That's how I handle them and it works well.
Yes I did but some marks was in the design:(
Do I put the powder on the wet ink or the back of the paper???
The powder goes on the wet ink. That is what causes the ink to stick to the shirt.
@@MakingwithMarilynwhen you cure do you have paper side up or film side up?
@@sheryljohnson2900 with this process there’s actually no paper. It’s film, ink, and powder. When I cure it, the powder is facing up.
Does this only work on cotton shirts because i tried on 100% polyester and it did not work.
Where did things go badly in the process? I’ve used it on blends but I use straight sublimation on 100 percent polyester.
I see you used White Medium powder. When do you use the various White Fine and Coarse versions and also when do you use Black Medium powder?
I’ve only used medium and fine. They discontinued the fine so I only use medium now. I probably wouldn’t use the black with the hack since the sublimation inks aren’t opaque.
Love it
Thank you!!!
I don’t understand why the powder is on the outside and when you press it the powder is facing up? Wouldn’t it need to be face down on the shirt so the powder crystals stick to the shirt? Thanks
In the part of the video where the powder is facing up, it is just sitting under an open heat press to cure or melt the powder. After that, you turn it over and press it to your shirt or whatever you are adding it to. Thanks for watching.
So you have to mirror the image ??? Because when I flip the paper the image is facing the opposite direction
Is using the thin Yamation paper critical? What’s the difference in using regular dtf paper? I have an F570 and my printer is not accepting the yamation🥲 even w tape.
I couldn't get mine to accept it with tape either. I had to have an entire sheet behind it taped to it. Any dtf film that you can get to run through your printer should be fine I would think.
Hi Marilyn. If I want to use DTF film to dye sub plastic rather than fabric, do I still need DTF powder?
So you want to put the DTF transfer on something that is plastic? I've never tried that, but the powder acts as the glue, so I would think you need it. I'm not sure if plastic will take the heat, though. Let me know if you try it?
So i have an actual dtf machine
Normally the white is the glue to keep from peeling after washing. How will this hack work?
Thank you for watching! I have used both my dtf printer and the sublimation printer for this hack to make prints on dtf film. The dtf powder adheres the hack transfers to the shirt and mine have laundered nicely.
What does it look like after washing
It looks great. Crafting with Delonda has at least one video showing her wash tests on the dtf hack. In the video she shows how it looks after multiple washings.
Can you please tell me which video to look for
How can you get the white to show?
With sublimation ink, the only way to have white to show in a design is to put the design on a white shirt. You would need an actual DTF printer to print white.
So how well does this stay on after washing?
The next video I made on this process was a wash/dry test of it. Check it out if you want, but it came through 2 wash and dry cycles very very well. th-cam.com/video/YwioZxtrXpc/w-d-xo.html
Have you tried this on a darker colour shirt?
I tried it on dark fabric to test it and it isn’t good unfortunately. I either showed it in a video or a Live event, but it didn’t really show up on darker fabric.
Ms Marilyn how would you suggest i store my transfers? Or is this even possible?
You can definitely store them but I don't know for how long. I would put them in a tub with a couple of silica packs in it to keep moisture at bay.
Silly Question When you cure the powder are you just placing the picture in the press but not closing the lid?
Yes, that is correct. I just let the hot platen hover over the ink/powder.
I love this ideal im new to trying sublimation dont know how yet is that a sublimation tshirt or a cotton tshirt
This is cotton. When I am using polyester shirts, I use just the straight sublimation print without the powder. Thanks so much for watching!
Hello did you use a printer with sublimation ink? And what kind of t-shirt you use?
Yes, I used sublimation ink on a 100 percent cotton shirt. For good results, the shirt needs to be a light color for this method.
Does it work on black shirts
The hack does not. You would need actual DTF for that.
Can you do this with the epson wf7820?
Does your workforce printer have sublimation ink in it? If so, then probably. But the film can be an issue going through different printers. Also, some people have done this hack with regular (not sublimation) ink. That didn't work so well for me.
@@MakingwithMarilyn no it doesn’t have any I will have to order some and try it
@@MakingwithMarilyn thank you for replying
Also does the film print from any Sublimation printer ? Thanks 😊
I have only printed it from my Epson Ecotank 15000. What printer do you use for sublimation.
@@MakingwithMarilyn i use sawgrass400 and 1000
@@shawnteosby9517 I did a search and I found Crystal Ann on Design Bundles do this with a Sawgrass printer. I don't know what brand of film she used, though.
@@MakingwithMarilyn yes ma'am thank you!
Is this sublimation ink to dtf film?
Yes it sure is.
Have you found a way to prevent the roller marks. Someone suggested changing the paper type to glossy?
I just finished and uploaded a video on the film/powder/sublimation. I have been pretty happy with the settings I use with minimal roller marks, but I will try the glossy paper.
@@MakingwithMarilyn may u post link to video
Hi I have the same press are you just setting it under the press or are you actually letting it do the automatic press? If you are shouldn't I cover it?
Sorry this I'm asking when you do the dtf curing
You just let the top platen hover over it. You do not close it. You do not want it to touch the ink/powder while it is curing. Sorry I didn't show that better.
@@MakingwithMarilyn thanks a bunch. I figured but just want sure. I have your video saved so I can come back to it
@@Jessica-wl3of You're welcome. I watched a video tonight where someone used the glossy photo paper setting. I used plain paper normal quality, but it's another option.
This is great
Thank you Kenya!!!
Does an inkjet printer results look the same
I was not able to get the same results with an inkjet printer, but I saw another TH-camr whose looked really good.
@@MakingwithMarilyn ty so much do you have a Amazon link description for your printer please
@@ericrumlin7633 I used an Epson Ecotank 15000 that I put sublimation ink into instead of the ink that came with it. amzn.to/44EfSO1
How does it wash and wear?
I actually washes very well. It wears well too.
@@MakingwithMarilyn Thank you! Totally worth another video.
Can you print on dark colors with this with sublimation. Unlike with just sublimation has to be poly and light colors or bleached.
No, unfortunately, you cannot print on dark colors with this. I'm not sure which video it is, but I show what happens when you try dark colors. It's not good:)
How did it look after u washed it?
It looked really good. I think I have another video where I showed it after a couple of washings and it looked the same.
Do you have any updates on how it’s holding up? Have you worn or washed it anymore?
