I love your final thoughts. It's super spot on. When I started my locksmith business I spent several thousands and now I make way more than I used to working at my old job
I actually took a trip to CA and purchased the AA Prestige A3+R, one of your videos help me decided that's what I wanted to get into this world, had a couple problems during setup since I'm new to this but after a phone call and remote control access from the customer service it was fix, now is running strong and solid, colors are amazing and the finishing is great, I don't use a T.Seal Finishing sheet, I just use the same DTF, just flip it and press one more time, PERFECT RESULT !!!
@@jonathanmurrell7503 I completely disagree with you, I don’t have a business build up and is working like you have no idea, is it a risk to invest that much money ? Of course it is, but you will never know if don’t try, besides, is not what it cost is what is worth !!!
I can't attest that DTF is top Tier compared to white toner prints. White toner prints do not last through a lot of washes. Along with that, DTF images once pressed is stretchable without damaging the image...ALSO, products are much cheaper, to me.
Nice video. DTF is taking over little by little but best printers are dual head and 4 heads since they are faster! Unfortunately no single head like this one or other converted printers.
Any updates on the printer it self? I see a lot of people on FB and other platforms complaining about issues with the printer. Can you share your experience with it?
Happy Friday Gary! I am contemplating how to print my shirts as I am just starting out…. There are so many options!! Thinking about investing in a DTF Printer my concern is how much work it will be as far as troubleshooting, ink prices, etc…
It print as borderless. Image come out without background. Am willing to give out one of mine at a very affordable price # a distress price only if you interested.
Fantastic video, bruh. I also appreciate the hip-hop artwork you got in the background. Slick, Blasrmaster, Kane, and Biz. I grew up on these cats. #80sHipHopisthebest!
Okay so ...what is the printing widows I see with a roll you look like you can go 19 inches but is it 11 x 19, 13 x19? Does the oven come with it?...what about the fumes ?
@marinefubar I'll try my best I'm no expert. I have the Prestige A3+ 13" roll with oven. I wasn't going to get the oven, but glad I did. It frees up time with a big order. Everyday I make sure to print. Even if it's only 5 transfers, I found the ink will settle and dry quickly. Everyday I open the area where the ink bottles are and shake each color. Then I open the printer top and shake each damper. I run a nozzle test print before printing and have found even if the print turns out good I run a head clean every other day. All of those steps are through the factory direct software. If the lights are blinking red you go to your computer settings and reset the ink pad and waste tank. Depending on the amount you print, I empty my waste tank about once a week. At the end of every day I do a routine maintenance clean. That is using the swabs provided by the company (I also found them on amazon) you set the printer to cleaning mode. That releases the print head to be moved over. I use the swabs and the cleaning solution to clean the ink pad and the wiper (not sure the correct title for it). Problems I've had: some inks not printing properly, take a syringe and pull the ink through the waste tube. If one color, usually white, isn't coming out take the syringe and pull until white comes out both white dampers. If u are seeing black ink on the film. Clean every area very welkwith the swabs and cleaning solution. You won't believe how much the black ink can collect in small areas. Those are the basics. Hope that helps.
@@TamiT3Seriously, thanks for taking the time to give this rundown. Definitely helps people make a more informed decision about whether one of these machines is a good investment for what they’re trying to do.
lol 😂 Not a screen print killer. I’ve done a comparison and the screen print quality is way better like what you find in a retail store because that is what they use. It was fun messing around with this new tech but if you’re serious about the quality of your prints screen printing is the way to go. But if your customers are satisfied with DTF quality then get yo money! 💰 As long as your customers are happy it’s perfect for single shirt multi color printing. 👍
The desktop printers have way more maintenance than the bigger industrial ones; they're also dirt slow. That full front print probably took about 8-10 minutes. You won't be mass producing shirts with these printer models.
Paper is much cheaper. 25 sheets for WTP for me is around $120 (11x17). I can get 100 sheets of 13x19 DTF film for less than $100. I don't even want to bother with the WTP printer anymore. You're never guaranteed a good connection between marrying A&B...which, of course, is a waste of time & money. They're all converted printers. My goal is to purchase one that has the white ink circulation system which should help with the concern many people have in reference to head clogs.
No, the DTF software at least the Cadlink software that I use is only for windows and no you can't run it with Paralles either, that's the first thing I asked wen I got mine
do you have to play around with the color settings at all with this printer? I just bought this printer and the onboarding didnt go over any of that. just add inks and after your test print you are ready to go. i find that hard to believe..
I know this is an old question.. but.. DTF has to be used very frequently or else the ink can mess up the print head. They don't recommend going more than 5 days. If you're going to go longer than that, they recommend clearing out the tubes.
Isn't DTG killer more accurate? Screen printing has been the go-to for thousands of years and is still the best as far as color matching and the many other techniques from puff prints, to invisible ink, glow in the dark, textures and so much more. Love to see where the tech is going but screen printing is still king. This im guessing is for home use and one offs
It print as borderless. Image come out without background. Am willing to give out one of mine at a very affordable price # a distress price only if you interested.
@@MelisaArthur001 OK so what are the production numbers? I hear you talking but talk is cheap.... I can screen print a shirt every 2 to 3 seconds depending on how many colors. If the machine you are talking about doesn't produce a number close to screen printing ...Then Direct to garment is for simple or personal use, and is not ready for manufacturing purpose. Just saying.
@@ThaRealGarfield my staff has printed more than 12,000 shirt in less than 18 hours .full color (cmyk) . With less stress . DTG does the printing while my staffs does the heat transfer aspect of the printed films to shirt
Thank you for the Information. I have an UNINET 1000 and from print to print, it ruins the desing even when I do the head cleaning and all of that. Can you advise me on what to do? your help will be appreciated.
It’s not only that the price is high, it’s that this is the smaller 12 inch version, for this price from China you can get the 24 in printer, with the shaker and dryer. You just have to wait like a month for it. But also with financing just for this machine while that’s a nice option, the interest is so high you’re paying this high price like 3 times, and I have a credit in the mid 700’s but still the interest is a killer
Screen printing is STILL AND ALWAYS BE BETTER because I can control the material and the type of inks I use. For example. Metallic inks...or mica based inks...never work in these. I have to usebthe standard inks that come with this printer. So dtf is cool....but you can just buy a cheap epson ecotank for 300 bucks and put sublimation ink and do this total cost. Maybe 350 with a heat tool 🙃😐😐😐

You said this looks as good a screen printing. The DTF print feel like a heavy plastic. And during the summer, a will make you sweat more. Lol D t f printing is for people with low budgets these Print should mainly be used for promotional purposes.
And what you're not telling people is that they are going to have many maintenance problems with those DTF printers. Eventually, the head will clog. You must Stay printing Constantly out the week. To prevent cloggs, but eventually it will still clog.
I run two dtf machines at the place I work. We , as well as mist companies who own these machines will allow you to buy prints by the metre. Way more cost effective for you 👍
Let me know if you interested "I recently got a new DTG and if anyone is interested, please feel free to reach out or giving away my older DTG at low give away price .
I came across these videos today and they scared me. It seems that it is necessary to take urgent precautions to protect from DTF powder.

You must be out of your mind if you think DTF can take out screen printing. Show me A DTf printer that can do .water base ,discharge, Puff,or stretch Screen printing .😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Problem is also if you get a huge order how can you Gang sheet images to speed out Prod time? also you with a gang sheet can you powder the whole sheet?

any recommendations on other DTF printer brands that produces this type of quality but are slightly cheaper?
I have commercial DTF printer, make lots of money but i dont recommend it for a clothing brand. Screen printing still the King 🤴

I’d really like to see a wash test. Apples to apples comparison of this printer vs white toner vs your other equipment.

Saved enough to get my machine and in less then 3 weeks I already made my money back.

wow and they actually made an App that looks straight from 1997! So cool!
Interesting bit of kit for a home workshop.
Very good presentation, I'll look into it soonish.
Bro your video is awesome mind blowing...💪
Does this work on rash guards or spandex material?
The EPMD vocal though. 😂😂😂😂 Respect
Love the great content as always!
What is the widest it prints
Is this price for everything you need like ink, paper, syringe etc...
What type of printer/press kit could I start with on the cheap?
What's the cost of film, inks and adhesive though. WTP for the paper size is 200+$ for 100 sheets. (A&B). It seems like the same process or close.
Paper is much cheaper. 25 sheets for WTP for me is around $120 (11x17). I can get 100 sheets of 13x19 DTF film for less than $100. I don't even want to bother with the WTP printer anymore.

My goal is to purchase one that has the white ink circulation system which should help with the concern many people have in reference to head clogs.
How many shirts can it produce per hour round about?
Does it make a lot of noise?
Do you prefer the All American prestige or the Uninet 1000? Trying to decide which one i should go for
same here, what you end up decide?
Wow mind blown with the neon prints. Can the printer also support film sheets like 8.5x11 or 13x19 ect?
I think the Uninet DTF 100 (instead of Uninet DTF 1000) does individual sheets up to 13 x 19. Hope that helps.
Brother what happened to the Prestige???
Looks like they stopped making them.
Prestige A3 they discontinued due to the mother board having sooo many issues
I’m getting and industrial dtf from coldesi
is dtf easily cracks and doesnt last long in using washing machine?
Thanks for the video will it work with Mac?
No, the DTF software at least the Cadlink software that I use is only for windows and no you can't run it with Paralles either, that's the first thing I asked wen I got mine

What is the t seal? Teflon?
Can I make transfers that aren't just illustration-type images? Can I print photo realistic transfers?
