Anytime! Glad you enjoyed!

[@SheWhoRemainz]

I never seen heat transfer printing done like that. Is that method based off of a white base like DTF? Or is that just CMYK only? And can you use that method with other printers beside Rhicoma?

[@RicomaPrints]

It's similar, the 2 step heat transfer process involves printing on an A Transfer Sheet and then marrying it to a B Transfer sheet. It's CMYW and a cold peel.

Can you do sublimation on dark

[@RicomaPrints]

Hello! It's recommended to do sublimation on light garments that are 100 percent polyester. If you do sublimation on dark colors it may not come out correctly.

[@davidphilander1310]

What type of material you using bro

[@RicomaPrints]

Hello! For the shirts we are using 100 percent polyester for sublimation and 100 percent cotton for 2 step heat transfer.

[@Benshafran]

whats the different with DTF..

[@RicomaPrints]

DTF goes through a baking process and is then pressed onto the shirt. In most cases it's a hot peel.
