My guy! Thank you for this, I've noticed it so much more recently and was scratching my head as to what I was doing wrong. I appreciate your help and the videos !
its recommended by the transfer company. not sure what the purpose is but my transfers last 50+ washes with no issues, so i'll keep doing it per their instructions hahaa.
I run into this issue with dark shirts ( black especially, navy blue etc ) even after cooling + ironing the remainder of the shirt , sometimes the box still remains
A print "square" on polyester or cotton / poly blends that doesn't go away is usually because the temp was too high or it was pressed for too long.. That's why I stick to 100% cotton.. Too easy to melt / burn polyester..
For dualblend/triblend: I'd reduce temp, with the heatpress nation press use a laser temp gun to check the center of your plate. My press is actually 320 when I set it to 312. If I set mine to 320 its 334 and that burns the shit out of my shirts. Pressure is key, depends are you using a cover, pad are you threading the shirt. It really is a science and there are a lot of variables that will change the outcome
@@AskariArt you guys tried cooking paper sheets on blends and/or 100% cottons? I use it every time to bake it in after a first transfer..it works like magic...
Ok but what about when the rest of the shirt isn’t wrinkled. This happens especially in gildan 50/50, black hoodies especially. If I use my smaller platen so I’m not pressing over top the front pocket I get an ugly rectangle lol
Sometimes it’s the material you’re working with. For example foam hats. You can’t get rid of the mark. Anything polly blend over 50% will leave a permanent mark if temperature is too hot
Hello thanks for the video , do you know how to avoid the marks from the neck , you know how you press the shirt and it marks the neck, so it makes a half of the circle white or discoloration from the heat
My theory, it can also happen perhaps because of the quality of the fabric. It's possible the garment can't withstand the amount of heat being given. That means it's time to re-evaluate their source🤷🏿♂️
I just made some gender reveal shirts, on black Dri fit shirts and my heat press left the mark behind , it hasn’t gon away :( and I don’t want to hand it to my client looking like that
drifit is made out of polyester. polyester reacts weird under heat. one of the biggest reasons i dont use polyester shirts. but try 100% cotton for your client.
I’m learning how to do all this and I almost shit my pants when I pressed a polo and it was a red one and it turned DARK RED. Looked back later and it was cooled and boom it was perfect. I found your video and felt SO much better after 😂 “a wrinkled ass shirt” was my favorite part. Thank you!
Hey man what’s the best way to prepare your designs to transfer express uploading your designs to order them? Do you have a video on this? Wondering if the best way is to make my AI file the size of the transfer page for transfer express to gang them up myself in AI or adding all my designs to there editor page
hi, i rarely press anything that high on a shirt. i dont feel it looks good when the shirt is worn. but if you wanted to press somethinf high up close to the collar. you can use a mouse pad or teflon pillow inside to help raise the shirt up to press. flip the shirt over, slide the pillow or pad inside and press. hope that helps
I am going through this very problem and up pops your video. Always learning from you. Thanks for all you share!!! Their are many people on line charging for what you share. So thankful I found you on RU-vid.
I saw your supacolor ad and I was wondering about scorch marks on the hats. I have two heat presses one being the 360IQ and that one is really only good for patches because of the way they built it. The one that your using I see it has a larger top platen and doesn't have a big "Lip" where it comes down on the bill. How does it do on the hats with press marks?
i got a video on here showing how i press on hats. i never get any marks on hats when i press them. just make sure you got good pressure and the hat is smooth all the way across when loading it
polyester is a tricky material to work with. the heat activates the pigment in the material. so the discoloration from the heat on polyester is usually due to the dye in the material.
Great info, I use a Printful and have had customers receive their t-shirts and the shadow shows up after they wash it - what would be causing this issue?? Same dark square box around the graphic, but it shows up discolored after it has been washed - and Printful doesn't give any explanation they just say sorry and offer a reprint. Any ideas or help, or can this be fixed after the customer already has the product in their hands?? Thanks!
ive never experienced heat marks like this on a hat. only creasing and warping. due to wrong temp and wrong materials and also wrong size bottom platen. when i press on hats i usually stick with cotton hats.
yes. that is correct. repeating the text would be ganging. the order could possibly be rejected. i dont work for supacolor and i dont know how strict they are on that type of stuff so i cant say if it would be canceled or not. just my assumption.
@@BigBrandoh Right on. Ya, it's technically ganging, but if it wasn't a bunch of different designs it might be more of an issue. Seems like a waste, but I get the money end of it. I have an account and listed you as the referring source. Have my samples, but haven't created an order yet as I'm still narrowing down my designs/shirt choices for Supacolor use. Plan on using this for poly/blends as opposed to Elasti from TE. Just wanted to strategize my layouts. Keep up the helpful vids. If I come up with any more videos in this arena myself, I'll be sure to give you props and refer. THX
Great video. What is the material wrapped on the topped part and the clips around. I used a machine to seal and it is the same color but I don't know the name or where to get it.
all over? or around the image? not sure thats something that can be removed after its been pressed on. i seen somebody on tiktok show some dtf transfers they received from somebody that were covered in adhesive powder and it was all over the transfer not just on the design
@@BigBrandoh Ya, it was all over. I figured out what I did wrong. I wasn't shaking the film enough after I put the hot melt on. I also flicked it a couple of times. Its working fine now. I unfortunately ruined 3 shirts. But on the plus side, I have 3 new shirts. Ill get it off with something and sport them around the house. lol. Thank you for your reply brother.
@@sealedinchrist5413 actone usually works for getting rid of those dtf marks. Get a white full cotton rag and put aceton on it then pres it to the marks so it soaks a nit then rub it few times and it should come right off.repeat the process again to make sure its all clean...worked for me a few times.. and make sure its not colored rag especialy if its a white tee cuz acetone will disolve any colored soft rags and leave that color spots on white tees..made that mistake once lol..the fixed it afterva lof of rubbing...then just pressed a logo there on that spot and made something up with few logos..saved the shirt lol
i use it for static. it helps buffer out the static in the room. static sucks cuz the backing of the transfer can get stuck to the top heat platen. tryna peel it off a hot surface is no fun hahahahaa. so by adding the teflon sheet it acts as a buffer between the transfer backing and top platen.
Ok. I have 2 questions about jet pro ss. Everytime i press a shirt it either sticks to the protective sheet or it peels up with it. Or it cracks after like a few days. Can you tell me where im doing wrong
I had this happen to me on a sweatshirt. It's only 50% cotton. I will try and press the other parts of the sweatshirt and see how it goes. Thanks again.
sorry but dealing with customs on international orders is a pain in the ass. until i can find a legit way of shipping to other countries with no issues
@@BigBrandoh what kind of issues are you having bro? And your shipping from us? We got some shitty customs crackerz here too in europe, started to bother us ever since corona circus and now they cracking hard on anything its ridicoluous..
