DTF prints are the best...They stretch and NEVER fade, chip, distort..Love them

[shengchen-cwlj]

Thank you very much for your video, which is very clear. I am doing a small business of heat transfer printing and hot stamping, but I do not have enough clarity to tell my customers how to use it to achieve better results. Thank you very much for your science popularization

Found these guys while i was contemplating about how to go about starting my brand! & Can’t be more grateful for them, I’ve been able to take every step down order the dtf from them. Only advice to anybody or to street crafter is there shipping is not quick for the dtf sheets . So with this save your money & buy most of the machines as you can including a dtf printer which is prolly the most expensive. But i would also recommend going watch all there videos it really helped me a lot if you don’t have a lot of money they give you the steps to not have any excuses! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

DTF can easily become a college major. You have to be extremely technical to maintain your printer and understand materials science to print clean prints.

That’s not including the graphic designs. Crazy!

Bro these videos and info and just everything is top notch. Great job!

[yakub]

Amazing content I have been learning so many things from you I'm looking to start a printing business myself I'm a 20 year old from The Gambia 🇬🇲 there only few people doing this here so I think it's a great opportunity for me I'm starting with cricut and heat press machine which I'm expecting in September that's all I can afford right now if it works I'll later move on to printers and screen printing so thank you so much ❤

Great video. What shirts that are polyester are of good quality to do DTF prints on?

[mikellamon]

I am curious how the quality holds up after a few months and several washes? I have used HTC and noticed the vinyl tends to schrink/wrinkle after several washes?! Any information is a huge help. Thank you!

Question: Is it required to pre-heat the adhesive part of the print for seconds before you press it on garment??

[tonetone]

I’m just starting. Is KTTYL a great source to use for creating quality designs? I heard that photoshop and illustrator are difficult to use. But KTTYL is a bit more user friendly for beginners.

hi there! i've ordered 10meters dtf from a printer.. i've noticed some have the slight slippery back (adhesive part) and some are not slippery.. i've seen a video that says it should be a little slippery.. may i know if the ones that are not slippery will also be durable and would last a long time? the printer i got the prints from didn't answer me.. i still would like to order from them coz they have the best quality compared to 6 others i've ordered from in the past.. thank you so much!

Very good 👍 video, , please I have one question, ,
For football jersey to write names and numbers Behind the kit . It’s uses DTF printer’s??? ❤❤

[meganrodriguez]

Hi. What dtf machine do you use. I’m shopping around.

[nancykaniewski]

Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. I feel like I've learned a lot from you. I have a question for you. The heat press you recommend is a little out of my price range right now. Is there a press that has a beginner friendly price tag that isn't garbage?

[lehitimo_official]

Just want to ask Sir, what size of heat press machine did you use on this Vid?

[castingabilities]

i'm late to the party but i had a couple of general questions as someone who is trying to start a clothing brand:
question one: do you scale your design as you scale in size shirt? I am looking to do a print via DTF that is relatively 11.25" x 14" but I wanted to know if I keep the same size print for shirt sizes S - 2XL.
question two: how detailed can DTF designs be? is it equivalent to the amount of detail DTG is capable of?
question three: would you recommend utilizing a t-shirt ruler or would it be better to estimate placement utilizing sleeve and seam placements?

What would be the perfect setting for printing on heavyweight t-shirts?

[saigonproducer]

What shirt are you wearing? Where can I get that blank?

[timmo]

Can you use one of those smaller hand presses for a big shirt print?
