Thank you for this
No problem 😊
Ilove this.
😀 Thanks!
Nice video. How do you clean the screen? Is this similar to DTF?
With this kind of ink, you will need a special plastisol cleaner to get the ink off your screen before washing with water.
So I can buy the white ink and the powder, make a white transfer and put it on top of a black shirt? Sure would be nice if you did a black shirt with white transfer. Love your tutorials
Thanks! That should work, but like screen printing directly with white ink there is a chance of some dye migration depending on the material.
Adding that adhesive makes the screen print image stronger.
The adhesive gels to the ink and allows you to transfer the ink onto your shirt. During the transfer/heat pressing process, the adhesive bonds to the shirt and make the design permanent.
I apologize if this was already explained, do you mirror the image for this particular process?
For this project, you do not mirror your design. The vinyl will still go on the back of the screen, you just want the printed design to be reversed. When you press the transfer onto the shirt, the design will be oriented correctly.
I have tons of questions. I already have the powder for the DTF hack. I also have the Pet film. Will both of these work?
I have only used plastisol transfer powder and screen print transfer paper for this technique, so I can’t say if that would work: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/a/plastisol-transfer-adhesion-powder

I love this method...how would I dry it without a flash dryer?
Would love to know as well ! And also what’s the difference between this ink and the normal one you use ?
Plastisol ink is very different from the water based ink I usually use with my screen printing method. The most important thing to know is you can’t wash this stuff down the sink like you can water based inks. You will need a special plastisol cleaner to get the ink off your screen before washing with water.
Most of the experts recommended using a conveyor dryer. A flash dryer was the best alternative I found. Controlling the temperature of the ink so it is gelled and not fully cured is important. If you are looking to make transfers to sell, I would highly recommend investing in the proper equipment.
Does this process still require vinyl and a cutter? Beginner here. Ty for sharing! Also, I see where you’ve used a screen print press, is this required?
What’s a good mesh count to use for this so I don’t have too much ink going on paper?
I used my regular 110 mesh aluminum frame for this and it turned out great: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/a/16-20-aluminum-screen-110
I am obsess with the colors in the back!! Are those fn ink? Also do you mix them by eye? I can’t stop looking at them!
Thanks! Those are all the colors I’ve made from my Ink Recipe Guides using Speedball Ink! Each guide gives you the exact proportion so you can mix up just the right amount of ink for your project: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/ink-recipe-guides/
@@pigskinsandpigtails Is those speedball colors waterbased or plastisol?
I don have a flash drive Can i use the heat press to make the process of drying the power? Or heat gun ?
To get the best results from a plastisol screen print transfer, the ink needs to be heated evenly. I wouldn’t recommend a heat gun for that reason. Even a flash drier can be tricky to get a completely even heated surface.
Where would I order the transfer sheets with my design on it ? Thank you
You can order custom Supacolor transfers from ProWorld: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/a/supacolor-order
Silly question… Is this like DTF? Could you put that on a dark colored shirt as well because of the powder you treated it with?
Yes, you can put these transfers on dark color shirt but there is still a chance of some dye migration. You can add an underbase to help with that. It is a similar process to DTF, but this is more economical and something you can DIY without a printer.
How do you add an underbase. What would I buy for the underbase?@@pigskinsandpigtails
Hi there! I’ve searched all over TH-cam and haven’t found a video to help me troubleshoot an issue I’ve run into with the paper carrier sheet sticking to my transfer once it’s been pressed. How can I save my project and remove the paper from the pressed transfer? Thank you.
Are you using the same sheets and ink that I’m using in this tutorial?
Do you do teach colors ones.
You could do this in a different color, but it is tricky to do this process with multiple colors/layers. I would recommend starting with a one color design first
Can you use water based ink?
Not with this method, plastisol ink is key
which sheet did you use for making the transfer?
I’m using plastison transfer paper: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/a/plastisol-transfer-paper
@@pigskinsandpigtails is this method better than screen printing?
Have you tested this with water based ink?
wondering the same thing
Plastisol ink is typically used for this process because you are able to gel it with the powder and then transfer to a shirt later to permanently cure. With waterbased I’m afraid it would not gel correctly.
Would this possible with a heat gun?
I recommend using a flash drier- its really important to get an even heat exposure across the entire design so that it gels evenly. I’m not sure you would be able to get even results with a heat gun.
How do you get the paper to stay put?
I used normal my printing platen for this project- I always have some pallet adhesive on it so that may have helped (although it definitely wasn’t a fresh coat!)
is it possible to do this process with water based inks?
This process needs to be done with plastisol ink
Where do you purchase the transfer paper? When I looked on Amazon they only have the clear paper.
Also what is the powder you use to cover it?
You can find all of the supplies I used linked here: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/2022/11/how-to-make-custom-plastisol-screen-print-transfers/
The powder is called Plastisol Transfer Adhesion Powder
Plz reply me tell me heat transfer ink name in pakistan
I’m using FN-INK Plastisol Ink: www.pigskinsandpigtails.com/a/fn-ink
What she doesnt tell you is that if you want to clean your screen you'll need a special chemical you gotta order online that cleans oil based inks out of the screen and its expensive and super messy.
I talk about that in this video: th-cam.com/video/PJluzffcjK8/w-d-xo.html
Not really, Solvents used by the screen printing industry for cleanup in the U.S. include mineral spirits, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, xylene, glycol ethers, terpenes, heptane and hexane.

Aww, you're just upset because you got called out on your BS.
