Always preheat the shirt for 3 seconds BEFORE you lay your vinyl to get air and moisture out. Make sure the shirt is flat and smooth to get the even puff (puff work better with large bold prints)
Puffs like Cheeto puffs. It really pops out I mean. I tried one that doesn't puff out that much. I got it from 143vynl company. I'm done with them, I'm going for econo now. Thanks Rich!
Thanks for the video! As far as the heat press, I watched a stahls seminar and they suggest a 5 sec pre heat and put the shirts In backwards with just the front or back on the platten and the other side hanging off the bottom, so the shirt is almost like a pillowcase on the platten. Sorry I know I'm late to the show and don't know if you changed the way u place your shirts .. just sharing what I learned from their webinar.
I saw a video on TH-cam where you prepress the plain shirt for a few seconds to dry up any moisture in the shirt. But I just came across your channel by the way, very informative quality videos as always 🙌🏽💯✨
@@poopoomcgee123 medium pressure is what I always use...in my head the vinyl will have a little space to puff up lol. I could be wrong. Firm enough to stick properly tho
@@adrianyc124 my experience puff vinyl in general. Just do 350 degrees Fahrenheit at 10 seconds. Seems to puff bigger and less wrinkles especially after it sits for awhile 🤷🏽♂️
@@adrianyc124 oh another thing if the design has small spaces u might not want it to puff too big because it will swell up and fill those spaces. So keep that in mind. Depends on what ur design is...sometimes a lil puff is better than a big swell
@@stephenkerr8154 are you also using the hotronix by stahls? 1st tshirt I printed 300 degrees 12 seconds, puffed perfectly, second slightly smaller font not so well
Damn I think the tweezers was the most beneficial partey of this video for me 😩😂 either way, your content is always necessary. Thank you again for your time! That's good that you could tell that the size of the lettering may need more or less heat press timing... I'm going to figure this out. Some areas were great and some weren't
u gotta let it rest for 10 secs after u pressed em, man. peel them warm. not hot and not cold. but warm to the touch. that way, they have some time to set. u peeled em directly after pressing while they're still too hot that's why u have some torn off when u peeled the backing off. try it.
I’ve been enjoying your content it’s so helpful!! I wanted to ask if there’s some guide or a rule thumb of how small the text can be for vinyl heat transfers that don’t do the greatest with intricate design? Thank you!
Maybe the marks are strands of fabric leftover on the shirt? I’ve noticed when I’ve used puff vinyl on garment dyed shirts especially the puff vinyl picks up the fabric pattern and the little bits of small fabric that are always on them
Hey Rich another great video thanks well I gotta say you have inspired me and I am making my first shirts today! Watch out for Bionic boy apparel and thank you once again for all the amazing advice on your channel.
Hi, What’s the front design size? I think I missed it if I did eeek sorry lol, That part turned out almost flawless I can only judge from what I see on screen but it looked perfect
Great Vid, quick question though, is it ok if put a normal transfer logo (not puff) in my left chest and then in the back puff or it doesn’t make any sense ?
i have not been in the htv world in a while but i love this puff vinyl for sure! i am deff grabbing another vinyl plotter to do some single color white prints vs silk screening them. it looks high quality for sure!! i also seen puff on silk screen and i rather do it with htv but on those wrinkles my thought is because you did not thread the shirt into the platen that is why it happen it prob caught the wrinkles of the bottom of the shirt so if you would have threaded it and it was completely flat it probably would have came out perfect where it wrinkled. or did you figure out why it happened?
Honestly so far econotransfer.. not necessarily because of quality or anything like that but because they always have it in stock and it’s easier for me to rely on lol
Realistically how many washes will the print last? in both cold water air dried and warm water and in the clothes dryer? deciding weather I should learn to screen print or heat press :1
Vinyl can out last a shirt when done properly. 50+ washes or more. Screen print will still be superior. 50+ washes as well. Difference is that screen print just fades and looks like a vintage print while vinyl peels off.
I have issues pressing the Wala Puff. Seems I can't find the right temp, time, and pressure 🤦🏽♂️ I love puff but it's too much of a gamble right now to offer to customers until I get it down perfect.
Very helpful!! Question: how come you didn't thread the shirt on the heat press? I was wondering if that was a possible cause for the wrinkle in the puff htv. Anyways, thanks for another great and informative video!
Yoo! I've been binge watching your vids for a few hours now lol. I really like your content. Quick question. What are your heat press settings for t-shirts and hoodie? I'm thinking about purchasing one myself.
Use that puff and have the same issues not sure why it wrinkles and there are some spots that are flat it seems like it depends on the color because some colors I have no issue with
Hi rich! thanks for all the amazing videos. I've been deep diving into all of them to learn about making my own brand. I wanted to ask does heat pressing give off any smells or odors? Like burning plastic smell or something? I've been curios about that. Thanks again!!

Rich I have a question have you heard anything about a gcc vinyl cutter. Is that an older cutter
The pink on the black is fire
You are a smart young man. Your parents must be so proud. Thank you for posting the video. It was very helpful.
Using puff vinyl in certain designs is a must. I learned alot from watching these videos. They helped me grow by learning the business.
How many you printed so far?

RIIIIICCCHHHHH! Yes we can see the puff.
I got white puff and it definitely feels different then regular htv. It actually has feeling to it
@Hustle Ninjas we know this isn’t Rich and you are a spammer , get a life!
how long did you press the puff vinyl for? im having difficulty with the vinyl raisin up
Thank you rich for the opportunity to see this done. 🇨🇦🤜🤛🔥
my logo looks like it has a slight "dissolve shake" effect with a low opacity. will it print the same way it looks when i print on the vinyl??
let us know when you find out why it was creasing on some parts of the print! 👍🏼
i’ve been wondering why mine does this also
I think the trick I have learnt is to do it at 350 or 375 for 6 seconds and it will puff even bigger
@@stephenkerr8154 how much pressure do you use?
@@poopoomcgee123 medium pressure is what I always use...in my head the vinyl will have a little space to puff up lol. I could be wrong. Firm enough to stick properly tho
When you held up the weeded sheet with the designs on the vinyl sheet it was legendary.

I swear you answer all questionssss I type my question then your name. You legit cover everything

What do you recommend on a vinyl cutter? Which one should I get because there are a couple choices. Thank you in advance
I think it’s ok with the imperfections. It gives more texture and character

I have some black puff and I freaking love it ‼️. Love the videos too
❤ this is my next one. Thanks Rich.
You always give good info. This puff vinyl is great
I like puff a lot. Awesome content as usual.
Maybe the marks are strands of fabric leftover on the shirt? I’ve noticed when I’ve used puff vinyl on garment dyed shirts especially the puff vinyl picks up the fabric pattern and the little bits of small fabric that are always on them
That may be true! I'll get a lint roller for the next trial.
Yea I always lint roll and then heat or heat then lent roll and put transfer on
@@HustleNinjas did you ever figure out what the problem was and how to fix it?
You should definitely make a video comparing the blanks👏🏾

@@l8nightvibes I think you know more than me sorry! I just started recently with the business
Almost impossible to avoid not having those issues but, I’ve notice I’ve gotten better consistent results with heavy pressure.
How do you prevent it from peeling after washing it ? I washed my teeshirt after and I noticed it started to peel and lost its puffiness
@@morellyrells you have a good heat press?
@@dreezyfranklin yea I do
Love your videos
Hi, What’s the front design size? I think I missed it if I did eeek sorry lol, That part turned out almost flawless I can only judge from what I see on screen but it looked perfect
Does the puff vinyl work the same on a hoody/thicker sweatshirt and can it be used on all types of fabric? Cotton, poly, blends etc? Thanks!
Great Vid, quick question though, is it ok if put a normal transfer logo (not puff) in my left chest and then in the back puff or it doesn’t make any sense ?

After having tested both of them, which puff vinyl would you say has worked better for you - EconoTransfer or Walakut?

"Y'all always asking me what I'm wearing". 🥴😆😂
compared to embossed what's better. price and your personal opinion
In your opinion what’s better Walakut or Econo puff vinyl?
Before weeding out the access, was the design ordered on eco transfer for you to weed out or where do i add my design to my puff sheet?
What do you do when you get the wrinkles in the design?
If you do a huge puff design. Will it get damaged by folding the shirt and packaging it?
I wonder if a cool down would have been better to prevent the small mishaps
i agree with you
Dope heat press
Very helpful!! Question: how come you didn't thread the shirt on the heat press? I was wondering if that was a possible cause for the wrinkle in the puff htv. Anyways, thanks for another great and informative video!
What does thread the shirt mean?
Solid bro
Dope channel bro. Those blank tees look good. What kind are they?
Awesome video!! 😍😍😍
He’s so handsome… and he’s funny.. I mean.. ummm.. This was so informal!! That’s what I meant to say 😂😂😂
So who makes your favorite puff vinyl? Let me know Hustle Ninjas
I think should have repressed the large back sometimes fixes the puff
That shit is fire! Can’t wait to get mine
The puff is there😂😂
That’s dopeeeeee 😍
Yoo! I've been binge watching your vids for a few hours now lol. I really like your content. Quick question. What are your heat press settings for t-shirts and hoodie? I'm thinking about purchasing one myself.
Heat press settings are dependent on the media you're heat pressing.. you'll get the settings with the media.
Use that puff and have the same issues not sure why it wrinkles and there are some spots that are flat it seems like it depends on the color because some colors I have no issue with
Can you buy heat pop vinyl already on a sheet like ready to go heat transfer sheets ? If so where ?
Ok I’m tryna get started I plan on tryna make at least 50-80 hoodies and T-shirts a week which heat press would anyone suggest that’s good for that ?
Hi rich! thanks for all the amazing videos. I've been deep diving into all of them to learn about making my own brand. I wanted to ask does heat pressing give off any smells or odors? Like burning plastic smell or something? I've been curios about that. Thanks again!!
It does, but only when it's new
No smells. U got this. Get started and keep learning and watching videos and as u continue to work, u will find out what works for u 👊🏽
Great video bro and keep Makin It Do Wat It Do
Can I use this vinyl with a cricut air 2?

I hate how much vinyl is wasted. Is there anyone doing transfers with puff vinyl yet?
I was thinking the same thing… like all that vinyl wasted on the back print! 😱 Most screen print transfer companies offer puff as well.
Soon as he pulled out the tweezers I knew wassup 😂
😂😂
Can I ask where do you get the black tees??they look like very good quality
Alphabroder, next level 3600
Hey buddy, is that white on your black tshirt a puff as well? it looks good.
Regular print
im from germany and im not able to find puff vinyl here.. do you know any „cheap“ shipping sites where i can buy it for business needs? thank you and nice videos, watched all of them
it's the heat i reckon that it works best at 250° for 5 seconds over 300+ will make the puff to make this weird texture
could I do a puff heat transfer on denim ?
So did you figure out the problem why the puff was wrinkling?
Try to pressed few more seconds
Its either of two things. To hot or the pressure is wrong.
Looks like u just forgot the cover paper when u pressed the back, but great work. Can't wait to start mine!
Is there places that will put your design on the paper for your?
Anyone know where to order puff transfers we don’t gotta weed out??
613originals and transfer express has some but it’s not that puffy
can i layer regular htv on top of puff htv?
I was wondering that as well. I've seen where someone mixed, but only side by side.
Will you teach us tshirt Design bit by bit 🙏🙏🙏
300 is what I found to be a good temp
Rich! I really love this shirt-do you sell this one somewhere?
I'm looking for someone that does good puff transfers. Transfer express puffs don't puff.
I cant find some puff vinyl here in the philippines 😩
Can we do complex design and then.print on vinyl
Can be done, but wouldn’t recommend
Have you ever tried Port & Company? I hear they are comparable to Gildan. They are more accessible where I am. I haven't found a ton of reviews but I have read a couple mixed. TY
@@presserCC Thank u! I just ordered some samples. I heard they run small so I was a little skeptical.
Hello Will a Industrial cart hold a heat press machine?
Some do, some don’t. Check the weight of the heat press and then check the weight support of the cart that you’re purchasing.
What temp did you set your heat press and the timer?
Have you ever done the 3D silicone?
What was the issue with the puff the wrinkles
my logo looks like it has a slight "dissolve shake" effect with a low opacity. will it print the same way it looks when i print on the vinyl??
Good Knowledge!!
Where do you recommend for buying bulk plain t-shirts?
Alphabroder, sanmar, ssactivewear, jiffyshirts etc
Thank you!
Puff is nice but maybe try being a little more gentle peeling...
