I have some cotton flour sack tea towels that I wanted to sublimate onto so this is a perfect way to do this. I ordered my dtf supplies yesterday and I’m so excited to try this. TFS.
I love how both shirts came out ❤ I been using dtf to sublimation hack for sometime now and it’s my go to 🎉I would say that if you use parchment paper instead of butcher the ink won’t go on parchment ❤
@@ElisiaMalave not sure if you were asking me since I commented on this channel lol but I wanted to say my washes are good all my shirts still look nice
I am using sublimation ink, but it's called DTF hack because I'm printing on a dtf sheet using sublimation ink. 😉 as you may know that with sublimation there is no white ink and for dtf there is white ink. So this is just a hack and you would have to press it on a light colored shirt or better yet a white shirt. 😊 thanks for your comment 👍
Hi 👋 yes I did 5 washes and dryings and it still holding. I let it cure for 48 hours just to be safe and then I washed it the same wany with other clothing. It held up pretty well and never stained any of my other clothing. The image still looks the same. Thanks for commenting 🙂 don't forget to subscribe and share my videos❤
I'm sure you do have to do that. This method I use is only for light colored shirts. I can't use this method for black shirts. 😊 that is the only downfall.
It held its color. I washed it after 24 hours of pressing it and it did not bleed on the first wash. I also pressed it on a 100% cotton shirt and it outlasted the shirt.
I have done 10 washes and it looks ok. I wash in cold water and hang dry. It will last longer this way I heard. I have another one that I have done more washes and it still looks good. The shirt itself is looking used but the image has not faded. So I think the shirt will turn ugly before the anything else.
Hello actually I didn't convert this printer into a dtf this printer I Converted this printer into a sublimation printer. I use this printer to sublimate on many things. But I had heard about the" DTF hack" which could be done with the sublimation printer. So I gave it a try and I filmed it to show you guys. You will get ink smearing when you try this hack. I do mention it in this video. Sorry if I confused you. ❤
Hi thanks for asking! It really depends on the image you are using. Canvas brand has heather colors that are somewhat light, you could try on those. Just remember that where ever there is supposed to be white it will be the color of the shirt. If the image has only black outlines it will show on darker colors better. Also choose a color shirt that will go well with the colors on the image you use, to get the best results I suggest you use pastel colored shirts. Hope this helps!

Glad to hear that!
I’m going to try this over the weekend
Awesome 👌 Remember anything that is white in the image it will be the color of the shirt. Choose a light colored shirt or sweatshirt.
Thanks for this easy to understand video tutorial.

@@preciosaskreations4715 you’re welcome love ❤️
how are urs after you wash it?
I learned that the hard way. I have to send stuff back, after following someone else on TH-cam.
@@ElisiaMalave not sure if you were asking me since I commented on this channel lol but I wanted to say my washes are good all my shirts still look nice
i like the process
I’m a newbie your new follower great video
Thanks for jumping aboard 😀 and thank you for the compliment 😊
danke für das Video. Muss die Sublimationstinte auf der folie erst komplett trocknen bevor ich das Pulver aufstreue?
@@Manuks-lc8tp sorry I don't understand
Loved your sub hack. What I want to know is how to time jobs? Thanks! RJ
I don't understand what you mean by" time jobs"?
I am not sure if I missed it but can you use this technique on 100% cotton?
Absolutely! ❤ but remember this technique is for light colored shirt. Whatever is white in the image will be the color of the shirt.
Super cute. Thank you for the detailed video. Where did you get the imagefile from?
Glad you liked it! The image is from etsy.
Thank you for sharing
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for watching ❤️
Are you using sublimation ink or dtf ink? Those are so pretty. Love how they came out.

How did the color hold up after multiple washings and dryings????
Hi 👋 yes I did 5 washes and dryings and it still holding. I let it cure for 48 hours just to be safe and then I washed it the same wany with other clothing.

Hi what software you used to create this design? I want to lear how to make it
The design I bought it on etsy but I used inkscape to size it and print it.
Is the light green shirt 100% polyester?
@@JstcountryGirl yes it's 100% polyester I bought it from alwaysblanks.com
Looks great! I've just tried this hack but still need to tweak my print settings. Also, may I know where did you get the designs?
Hi
Yes the colors are tricky. The design is from etsy. Thanks for your compliment.
can it be done on only 100%polyester shirts
Dtf can be applied on 100% polyester, 100% cotton and 50%cotton 50% polyester.
Hello I too have a converted 8550 what printer settings did you use to print the film and what heat temperature and time to press ? I love it!!
My 8550 is converted to a sublimation printer. But I use it to do the DTF hack also. My setting are paper matte, color is standard.
Temp is 385 for 55 seconds with firm pressure. Peel when it's completely cool.
Oh and thank you
I thought you had to put some kind of easy subli or glitter white first then put this on top of that to work on dark colors?
I'm sure you do have to do that. This method I use is only for light colored shirts. I can't use this method for black shirts. 😊 that is the only downfall.
@Preciosa's Crafting Thankyou!
I had 2 of the 8550 converted....never worked
Did you convert to DTF or to sublimation? In the video I said that my 8550 is converted into a sublimation printer. ❤
Did the poly blend sweatshirt fade after washing or did it hold its colors?
It held its color. I washed it after 24 hours of pressing it and it did not bleed on the first wash. I also pressed it on a 100% cotton shirt and it outlasted the shirt.
Can you print on 100% cotton?
Hi! Yes most definitely. Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to subscribe 😊
Is this power the same as a polyamide powder?
I haven't used the polyamide powder so I don't know if it's the same. I'm knew to the DTF hack. 😊 but thanks for asking!
how was it after a wash
I have done 10 washes and it looks ok. I wash in cold water and hang dry. It will last longer this way I heard. I have another one that I have done more washes and it still looks good. The shirt itself is looking used but the image has not faded. So I think the shirt will turn ugly before the anything else.
You have to take the rollers off

What’s the darkest shirt to use this on?

@@preciosaskreations4715 Oh ok. So if I have white lettering I should change that color to like a cream or gray. Would that work?
The letters should be black because if the shirt is dark color then it might blend in if the letters are grey.
