  • If you're looking to create high-quality designs on cotton shirts and other fabrics, you need to know about Direct to Film (DTF) printing. DTF printing is a technology that allows for printing on cotton, using an inkjet printer.
    In this video, we'll dive deep into DTF transfers, sublimation on cotton, and how to make DTF transfers using an inkjet printer. We'll start by discussing what DTF is and how it differs from traditional sublimation. DTF transfers involve printing an image onto a special film that is then transferred onto the garment using a heat press. Unlike traditional sublimation, DTF transfers allow for printing on cotton and other fabrics that can't withstand the high heat required for sublimation.
    We'll also demonstrate how to make DTF transfers using an inkjet printer and DTF powder for sublimation. With this DTF sublimation hack, you'll be able to create high-quality transfers on cotton shirts and other fabric items.
    Additionally, we'll compare DTF printing to traditional sublimation and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method. We'll also answer the question: can you use an inkjet printer for DTF printing?
    In conclusion, this video is a must-watch for anyone interested in trying out DTF printing or sublimation on cotton. We'll provide you with all the necessary information, materials, and step-by-step instructions to achieve the best results. Don't miss out on this exciting DTF hack with an inkjet printer!

    To get the colors to stay, you have to do a "set" press. After you peel the film, you will take your parchment or whatever you used between the press and the film, and "set" the color. Just press it for an additional 20 seconds. It causes the inks to penatrate deeper into the fibers.

    Changing your printer settings from 300dpi to the maximum resolution that your printer can produce will help the colors be more vibrant, for example, I have a cannon pixima ts3500 series inkjet printer and when I create my custom guitar decals and stickers, I change the printer settings from 300dpi to 1200dpi, which deposits more ink onto the dtf film I use

    Several years ago I was a Brand Ambassador for several different inkjet printer companies. Many times, the various brands used different types of ink in the printers for the black vs the rest of the colors. You may find that the difference in the color intensity after washing was due to both Dye and Pigment inks being used in your printer.

    Great hack!! Although I don't know a whole lot about the shirts, only designing them, I have to agree with adjusting you printer settings and allowing the shirt to sit for 24-48 hours. I also thought about the adjustments when printing if you were to first import it into procreate and adjust P3 display and your best printing options between RGB & CMYK and using you adjustments there, not to lose any color in pixels when adjusting prior to printing. Then just make adjustments to your printer itself!! I'm super excited to see how any of these comments have helped below or if my own made the cut!!

    One more thing that I think will help next time, I think you are supposed to press the design again by putting either a Teflon sheet or parchment paper on the design AFTER you have pressed the image the first time. After it cools, then you take the film off and press again by itself. I hope I said that right lol. Anyway, I saw someone do this and the ink did not go off after washing. And also, she said she put the powder on TWICE. She let it cure under heat one time and then put powder on again and cured it a second before pressing it onto the shirt.

      I don’t see scientifically how that makes a difference. Just like saying when a white t-shirt is dyed a different color from the factory and it sits for months on end before it reaches consumers washer dryers it will not leak color. It definitely does. There are other ways to secure the ink onto the individual fibers. I don’t see why letting it sit for 24 hrs does anything different.

    • @CraftnMomma
      @CraftnMomma ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Well, because everything is chemicals and sometimes it takes a while for chemicals to finish combining and interacting and settle completely. In your example the difference would be how long they let the dye set before rinsing it out. It will make a difference.

  • @DesignCutters
    @DesignCutters ปีที่แล้ว +119

    Don't forget you selected "automatic" for your printer color setting. Try another print with the setting on high quality glossy photo paper and I think the colors will get printed heavier and will result in less wash out. And as others have mentioned, do a second pressing to further set the ink. I think it will also make a difference if you compare dye based inks vs pigment based inks.

  • @a3dpntr
    @a3dpntr ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Great effort and interesting as well. I just think the science of sublimation which actually fuses the inks into polyester just doesn’t compare well with the process here, which is fundamentally a thermal bonding process. The dye and/or pigment-based inks in standard inkjet printers are indeed going to fade upon repeated laundering, whereas true dye sublimation doesn’t. For marketing wearables, I’d go ahead and cough up $600 for a wide-format Epson Ecotank and fill it with real dye sub inks.
    Thanks for sharing your energy and knowledge though.👍👏🏽

    One thing that was missing that is done with DTF was to cure the powder which can be done by placing on the heat press. The top platen would be close to the paper & then cured for about 2-3 minutes. I haven't viewed many videos using sublimation ink, but curing the powder is a step along with heat setting the image after the initial press.

Repeated and third was it looked terrible. If you want to wear it once and not wash it I think it's awesome. Great for a kids birthday party,family reunion or a gift they never wear or wash. I also tried it on a dark shirt because I HATE white shirts. The ink looked like a huge blob of nothing and I wasted a shirt. Try it yourself if you want and you can get the same results. Awesome hack but for me I'll stick to using sublimation.

    Black ink is probably pigment while colored ink is probably water-based. For this reason, black ink is more durable. It would be good info if someone did the test with all the inks being pigment

    Would love to see if a black or color laser jet print out would work. It would be different because a laser printer uses powder (toner) so there is never a stage were the ink would be wet as it melts the toner when it puts it on the paper and then it is permanently bonded to the paper.
    I don’t have a standard ink jet printer because I never used it enough to keep the cartridge functional. I use sublimation ink on most the projects and a color laser printer on normal printouts as the toner never goes bad even with months in-between printouts.

  • @tombonini7393
    @tombonini7393 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Sadly, the ink is NOT all the same. In many printers, the black ink is pigmented ink but the rest of the colors are actually dye. Dye's have brilliant color but are far from waterproof where pigmented ink is not as bright but far more waterproof. This is why the black held up so well and the other colors didn't. To make this work the way you want it to, you will need to convert the printer to use all pigment based colors. This is fairly easy on the ink tank style printers and can also be done on many others but will require changing the cartridges to refillable types and update its firmware to work with them. Make sure that you are looking for pigment ink and not sublimation ink because they are different. Another advantage to this method is even after the conversion, the printer can still be used as an actual printer when needed and the prints look fine and are far more durable.

      @@kushanthapushpakumara7713 I wouldn't go that far but there are some issues with installing them. You need to make sure that the printer is compatible with a chipless print solution and then properly reflash the printers firmware with the chipless firmware. You can do this with the printer still using its original cartridges and many do that so that they are no longer tied to the manufacturers rip-off pricing for ink. This is also done when converting the printer to sublimation printing so you can use load it with sublimation ink. CISS kits are mainly used for high volume printing but are not necessary for this. You can just buy some refillable cartridges for your printer once it is converted to chipless and fill them with actual ink for the colors instead of the dyes the factory cartridges come with.

    Awesome presentation using inkjet printer for sublimation. But, here are some issues to be noted. Using a DTF hack printer or just an inkjet you will have roller marks. Hack printers such as Epson Eco tanks or standard inkjets when printing on film remain wet, whereby the printer wheels will catch the wet ink and leave marks as the film is coming out of the printer. This may not happen at first, but it will leave roller marks eventually. Regardless what seems to be good idea “Hack” it does not work most of the time. It can’t. The print rollers on a non DTF printers (hack) are not designed for any type of film (DTF Film). A printer that is made for DTF printing don’t have the same print rollers designs as a standard printer. If you’re using any Eco tank printers or what to purchase one for sublimation printing, best to convert it for sublimation only, not for DTF film. Trust me, you will end up wasting so much money trying to use this hack printing on film. If you want to do DTF on Film, save up for a DTF printer and never have to worry or wast films due to roller marks.

    The reason why the other colours faded and the black didn't was that most of the canon pixma printers use a pigment based ink for black and dye based ink for other colours. The dye based ink washes out but the pigment ink doesn't. Repeat this same process but with a printout taken from a pigment based printer and you should be good!

    I did the print on dtf film with the Ecotank printer everyone uses for sublimation. I have 2 Ecotank printers, one with regular ink in it and one with sublimation ink. I printed on the dtf film with both printers, applied the powder, heated the powder and then pressed the images to 2 separate white 100% cotton shirts and the one with the regular ink got wet (my daughter washed her hands and wiped it on the shirt) and the ink ran. It got everywhere. And before you ask, yes i did a second press. Also, the color with the regular inkjet ink was not as vibrant as the sublimation ink. I printed the same exact image for both shirts, just with the different ink and the sublimation one was far more pigmented.
