You explained everything so well! Thanks so much! Going to try this weekend!
I legit was screaming noooo you forgot the word "who" but you got it! ❤thanks for this, it was so helpful
What a gorgeous dragon!!! This is super awesome. Thank you for the tutorial.
🐲🐉💚💛💜🧡🩵❤️🩷🐉🐲
Thank you for making this video. Very helpful and exactly what I was looking for. ❤
It would be awesome to do it at home instead of ordering
I agree but the equipment is spendy and all the reviews I’ve read (and I’ve read a bunch) tells me I’m better off ordering transfers. The DTF printers require a LOT of maintenance (mostly daily) and it’s just not practical for most crafters.
I would like to see more of this Looks relatively easy
Definitely going to try this! Thank you so much. I am new and love your tutorials!!
Love the bright colorful dragon. Great shirt!
I'm new to using dtf THANK YOUUUU so much for this video!
Waiting for my design to come from 143vinyl , just ordered my design can’t wait to share the results so far everything has been great ! Thank you !!
Thank youuu for this! So helpful, and straight to the point!
Thank you so much.... your explanation made it so easy for me😊
i was stuck on the missing "who" the whole time
lol luckily I fixed it
Love, Love, Love this method. I would like to try this. You explain every step so well. Thank you very much.
This is awesome!!! Can’t wait to try this out!
Thats awesome. I love it.
Thank you, You were straight to it , And yes I want to get started at home , So I need a certain software to create my images? Or can I create them form DT website
It really depends on what you want to create. You can use places like canva. Illustrator, silhouette studio and more to create your own designs. You can add elements to the designs on the 143 website but you can’t really easily build a full design
I'm looking to create at home, how can I find some good images to use and edit add-ons
This is the website I recommend it’s on special for just $3.99 a month right now www.creativefabrica.com/ref/236877/
Hi I'm wanting to create my own dtf designs and tees what the best website to be able to create your own designs
Corrine, thanks for showing how to design at 143 Vinyl. I really wanted to learn, but my concern is how do I upload or transfer my designs I've created in Design Space to DTF. I have a lot that I need to print and don't want to weed all these shirts. HELP
@@cherylmckeever6969 this is one of the major reasons I say not to design in cricut design space. The images are not easy to get out keep your eyes peeled for todays short where I give another way to get designs out of design space
Brand new to DTF
I'm trying to order dtf prints but they keep telling me I need to turn the white background to translucent. Does anyone know how the hell I go this? I'm an indie motorcycle shop trying to make my own shirts to save money
You need to have a transparent background on your image. You can use remove.bg or canva to remove the background
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you soooooo much
Can you print it from website at home like a download yhen print? Or do you have to wait for shipping from 143vinyl? I would like to use dtf because I do all my stuff with vinyl and it's getting to be too time consuming and costly as well? Please help me lol
@@nicoleswan4797 you can purchase a DTF printer but they are large and expensive and very finicky. DTF is way less expensive than vinyl and way less time consuming you can see a comparison video here th-cam.com/video/TVVM-6hZNT0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aGwrlNqRYuW3m32N
Love it I need to get some of those! I wonder how much the printer would be! Lol
They can be quite pricey and you need a powder to cure the ink
I just love it! What printer do your need to get?! I do have a sublimation printer but I think I’m go for dtf printer more colorful
As noted in this video these were not printed by me but by a company. I don’t feel comfortable putting a dtf printer into my home due to the curing and powder needed and the chemicals involved
Amazing, but did you pre treat the shirt with some spray and use dtf powder ?
No. You don’t do that with these. These prints come ready to press. No need for useless sprays that wash out or messy powders
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you so much. What kind of paper did you use, and did it automatically come out like that on the paper by just using that paper only ?
@@Marvatate201 I’m not sure you fully understood this process. Nothing is done at home. Everything is sent to someone else to print.
Hi Corinne! Thank you for this video. Would I be able to use my cricut easy press to press the dtf transfer?
Yes
Corinne this is an awesome video! I have a question, can you only use the dtf transfer once? I didn't hear you speak on that so just a question because I'm wanting to get into my own shirt creations
Yes just once. DTF transfers are printed onto the film and then when you press them the entire image will remain on the fabric
@@CorinneBlackstone wow!! You got back to me so fast! Thank you so much! That's grade A service!
If I want to make my own pattern do I need a computer to make the pattern so that the dtf machine can print it
As I do not have a DTF printer I can’t tell you how you would need to do them. I wouldn’t want one in my home due to the chemicals used not being safe around children and small pets. I would recommend ordering them from the company I highlight in this video
I have used DTF transfers that I have bought, so I have just pressed them on a shirt. But I am wanting to make my own for my own use. So I am trying to figure out if it is possible to print these at home for myself and I do not want to do sublimation.
You have to have a DTF printer and lots of other things like the powder. It also requires PPE. It’s honestly not something I would personally probably bring into my home
Can you arc the text? Can you use a Cricut hand press? Can you create designs in Cricut Design space before uploading to a DTF Site?
@@theheartieanalyzers9371 I don’t think curve text is an option. You can use a cricut easy press but you will need to use heavy pressure I wouldn’t personally design with cricut for these as taking the design out of design space will ruin the quality of the image
I'm looking to start a t-shirt business with dtf, my questions is where do you get your images from? To print on garment. Do you need to have a computer to create the images? Can you get images from using a tablet or what ever internet source you are using?
Most of my images come from here www.creativefabrica.com/ref/236877/
This site is amazing with millions of design options. It’s $3.99 a month right now and everything includes a commercial use license which means it will be legal to sell your designs. You can use a tablet or phone but a computer truly is best and easiest. The site I use is amazing with the best prices around and the best quality. They have an entire team who checks every single image before it is printed to make sure that it is high quality and will come out perfect.
I am considering picking up a side business and making shirts. Do you have any experience selling with Etsy, or where can I get more information about starting a T-shirt business?
I have a full video about starting a business with DTF th-cam.com/video/CsJWH4d9TfU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vbxLDlK5qM2R1Ynw
I would not recommend etsy but instead building your own brand and website. Shopify is great
Hi Corinne, fantastic step-by-step video for ppl like myself new to this. What other options are there to create designs in order to upload to 143 Vinyl in addition to Cricut? I don’t own a Cricut and have no plans of purchasing one. I only have a HTVRONT heat press. Please let me know. Thank you!
I would not recommend using cricut to ever design anything for outside use. However I use canva, inkscape or illistrator to design in
Love ❤️ the rapid response. Your the best. Thank you soooo much!
@@CorinneBlackstonewhy do you not use cricut design space to create in??
@@jeangrandy8672 For many reasons but number one being that you cannot get a good quality image out of design space and these images need to be high quality so they look their best. Design space is not a program I recommend designing in for anything really. If you want to design your own you’re better off with canvas, illustrator, photoshop, inkscape or other design programs
If I purchase an image from Etsy am I allowed to use it to make a DTF?
Yes!
Hi Corinne, thank you for another easy-to-follow, friendly tutorial! I am definitely going to try it. I REALLY want to invest in a good-quality heat press but the Starcraft ones 143 Vinyl sells always. seem to be out of stock. Are you using the Starcraft 15x15 or do you have a different one?
I use the StarCraft mint daily. Sadly it has been on back order for awhile. I would highly recommend checkout out the ones they sell here as well. These are awesome too!! shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1137072&u=1872806&m=77504&urllink=&afftrack=
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you SO much!!! 🎉🤩
Could you apply this dtf image to a tie dye hoodie of any color ? Is the dragon image opaque enough to cover the tie dye - so you only see the tie dye in the empty areas ?
Yes. These can go on any color shirt and hold their color. They are backed with white ink to maintain color
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you so much !! Also, your video was super helpful and inspiring. I am brand new to this.
I feel dumb but I don’t understand. So I can get images, upload them and create my own dtf, but I have to pay to order them? How would I sell them to people for download? Is that not what this is for? How would I create the images you can sell people to use on cricut and stuff?
No this is absolutely not for you to sell the digital files. If you’re looking to create digital files for sale check out my canva and inkscape tutorials.
if you get a warning for size how do you fix that?
Typically it’s fine and that warning will resolve itself when they go to print but I would call 143 and discuss the issue with them
Is this the same as dev? I am somewhat confused with the two. I would like to learn more about it. Does this feel like vinyl or more like sublimation. I like sublimation because it feels like the shirt and not vinyl.
It’s not like dtv. As I talk about in the video at the beginning it is between htv and sublimation. It’s still sitting on the fabric but it’s thinner than htv but doesn’t dye the fabric like sublimation
Hi, Thank you for your video. Do you have a video of where and how you made the design??
As I believe is stated in the video I did not create the dragon design he can be found here www.creativefabrica.com/product/colorful-dragon-sublimation-clipart/ref/236877/
Everything else in the design I added using the 143vinyl website also linked in the video description
I live in the gulf ..middle east ...any suggestions for good dtf printing companies here ? Any idea?
No idea sorry
Thanks Corinne! Can't wait to try these. I have made a couple of designs and saved them...How do I go back and find the ones I saved and edit them if I need to ?
That’s a dang good question! Let me ask cause I have only ever just made them and added to cart
Make sure you’re signed in then at the top of the screen is a my projects button. Your saved projects should be there! :)
@@CorinneBlackstone I thought that might be the case...thanks for checking into it for us!!!
Do you make your own designs ?
I noticed some people get designs from Google but can bee a problem with the copy right?
Sometimes but most of the time I use website with commercial use license and using images off google is illegal yes this is my go to site www.creativefabrica.com/ref/236877/
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you so much I really appreciate the help ❤️
what if you wanted a part of your dtf to be metallic??
You can’t.
Is the pattern just a 1 time use? Thanks
The DTF print? Yes you can only press it one time
@@CorinneBlackstone Thanks
Did you pay for the dragon design at some point or did you create it? If you created it, where do you create your designs in order to export them as files to save to your computer,
This dragon is included with a really great subscription I have with creative fabrica. It’s only $3.99 a month and it includes everything on the site. You can check it out here www.creativefabrica.com/ref/236877/
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you! 😊 I forgot about them for a while.
Hi Corrine, I found your channel. Thanks for the explanation. Do you have videos on how to create the images or where to get the images for free?
You can find links under all my videos for where I get images as well as on my blog at corinneblackstone.com
Great video!!! Can you print these at home or do you have to have some big expensive equipment?
You must have a dtf printer which you can purchase but they are pricey
@@CorinneBlackstonethank you!!!
@@CorinneBlackstonedo you know of an app that can be used to identify a font that was used on a shirt???
@@jeangrandy8672 the font is named at 7:15 in the video it’s called ribeye
What printer did you use
I don’t print these. As noted in the video all images are printed by 143vinyl
Thank you for the video! Where do you buy your sweatshirts from?
Shirtspace mostly but jiffyshirts if shirtspace is out of stock
i noticed a $2.00 to use on the link your using will it cost $2.00 per photo?
The pricing for the prints starts at $2 it depends on the size you want what the cost will be. You can play around design your stuff and it only charges you when you check out to order your design
what are the washing instructions and how many washes can you get and can u hand wash with dawn dish soap
: Wait 24 hours before first washing. Turn the garment inside out. Machine wash with mild detergent. NO bleach. Dry at a normal dryer setting on household machines. Do not dry clean. Do not use fabric softener.
Wouldn’t waste your time hand washing in Dawn it’s not needed
@@CorinneBlackstone ty
What type of image are you using and where do you get them
It’s best to use png or SVG images. I have a whole list of great places to get these images here www.corinneblackstone.com/svgsites
My 2760 Epson converted to sublimation does not want to print on DTF Transfer.
It may not. Not all printers do. I would recommend watching the video on the dtv hack for some tips to printing on it
Hi! Can these be done with a Cricut machine?
No
Where did you get the hoodie from? 3:34pm
Shirtspace! :) I order most of my blanks from there
How do you make the dragon 🤔
@@TheStb0428 I didn’t but it’s done with AI
How do you do the rainbow colors on your photo i want a normal picture of my dog with the rainbow colors how do you do that?
I don't do things like that so I am not sure.
@@CorinneBlackstone okay thanks you have an idea who can do that?
Can you use this on sublimation tiles, coasters etc?
No this is for fabrics only you need uv dtf for hard surfaces
Thank you. Do you have a video using uv?
@@cd6941 I have a short but not a full video tutorial
@@CorinneBlackstone ok thanks for the info
Is it smooth like sublimation?
It is smooth but as noted in the video it is still a product that sits on the shirt so it does have an edge to it but it’s not as thick as htv
Can you place DTF on Ceramic Coffee Mugs?
No fabric only
This is my first time
Is shipping free?
On ordered over $50 yes
What a great video!!! Thank you so much. Wonderfully detailed organized just slow down when you're talking a little lol. Overall I give you an A. 😊😊❤
I can’t get it to feed into my et2760
You don’t print these at home. These are made by 143ivinyl and sent to you
I’m curious about it.
My dtf prints peel and have a cracked appearance, do you know what cause that? Any one?
You may be not pressing them correctly. Is this happening after you wash them? It so make sure you wash in cold water and line dry
It peels right after I press and the images have a cracked appearance
@@KittyPurrzzUnique what are you pressing with?
where do you get you designs?
This design from the video is from here www.creativefabrica.com/ref/236877/
You can find all my favorite places I like to get designs linked in the video description
But how do you create the design?!
Literally it’s all in the video. I got the image from a website I added text and elements to make it my own. Every step is included in the video. If you want to learn more about creating other art work check out my canva tutorials
Can PNG files be used?
Yes! That's one thing that is fantastic about this PNGs being a good high quality image most of the time are perfect for the custom DTF prints!
Where can I get that image from
It’s linked in the video description
@@CorinneBlackstone I can't find it no where and I done click on all them links
@@mzjames163 www.creativefabrica.com/product/colorful-dragon-sublimation-clipart/ref/236877/
How to make a design to send for someone to print
You would want to design in programs like canva or inkscape or Adobe illustrator. I have videos on using canva to create designs
I buy them, but they are getting pretty pricey, I'd like to make my own.
I haven’t dived deep into the printer world for these but I’m sure if you are using them a lot it would probably be worth it to print your own.
Just a girl WHO likes you missed the who
I added it later as you will see when the shirt is finished
How can I print at home
You can’t without a pricey printer and a curing oven
Never used them
Highly recommend giving them a shot!
new need help
@@latashataggart7563 I’m gonna need to know what you need help with or there’s not much I can do
I’m having a hard time…
With?
did you get the dtf transfer with the dragon in the mail or you printed it out
These are printed by 143 and mailed out
what no powder
Nope just press them and done
I love your teaching style. Thanks for walking us through the process.
@@denisemerriell5388 thank you so much!
I would like to print some t shirts for my grandparents memorial with their pictures on them how can I get that patterns
As I have explained this process is completely shown here. DTF printing is something I recommend being done by this company. If you want to print at home I recommend you check out www.143vinyl.com/inkjet-printable-htv-transfers/?partner=196113 or this video th-cam.com/video/WBBatYEu01w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_kZOWHiCfg7wySqW
What other sites do you order your dtf’s from?
Where I order from is linked in the video description. I have ordered other places and have not been pleased with the quality or the price
Where did you get the dragon or how to you get your items? Am I just going to type into What I want to Google and take that? Also, I wanted to print this onto the paper myself?
Everything including the design for the dragon is linked in the video description
I wanna started doing dtf what website you use an how much is it an can u do this around young kids
This is where I order from all pricing is on the site use code CORINNE to save 5% anytime you order www.143vinyl.com/custom-dtf-prints.html?partner=196113
Is it safe around children? Yes I mean obviously you want to watch them near the heat press cause that’s hot as heck but like to press with them in the room is fine
