Hi Corrine, I wanted to share with you. There is a scoop inside the powder if you dig deep you'll find it. Also I put my film through the gravity feeder, if you put a stack of copy paper be hind the film there's no need to tape to the copy paper it feeds right through. Also I set mine on photo paper glossy it has more of a grab. I love your videos.
Hi Corrine, I've read and have seen video's in getting rid of that rubbery like feeling on the shirt after pressing it. This is what I have read: Repress garment for 10-20 seconds at 325°F. This step is recommended to improve durability and stabilize the coating. Just a suggestion. Love your video's.
I've been holding off on getting a sublimation printer, mostly because I only make things for me or family. This may just make me go for it. Thanks for the tutorial Corinne!
I'm awaiting the powder so I can try this. As a long time card maker, this approach makes a lot of sense to me. Chemicals only where needed (vs spray which I'm also going to try). Thanks for the tutorial. Much appreciated.
@@CorinneBlackstone Good to know. I got some. If I use, I'll choose projects that won't need frequent washing. Thanks for all the good info. I have a Scan N Cut SDX230D and a Vevor 12x10 press. Converted Epson 2400 which is working like a champ.
I have all my stuff just setting there looking at me saying "It's ok, just go for it!" 😂😂😂 Thanks for your video it's excellent....I keep watching it and taking notes. I'll jump in soon.
I have a lilac and white striped dress that I need to sublimate with DTF. Do you think it will work directly on the dress or should I use sublimation HTV under the design?
Did you ever figure out a good setting that doesn't allow the black ink to run? I am still messing with my printer trying to figure out what works best. My black always streaks a bit.
@@CorinneBlackstone yes I saw that. I was just making sure. I love your videos. I'm sure you have heard this multiple times but thank you for always having the time and love for helping fellow crafters.
I wonder if your video is the one I came across a few weeks ago. I have been wanting to begin pressing on coffee mugs and shirts but does the machine come with how to use it also, and what else we need with coffee presses
Hi Corrine, I’m wondering g if you have any suggestions. I printed my design with sawgrass printer and used the dtf powder, cured it for about 30 seconds to a minute, put design on Gildan 100% cotton shirt, covered with parchment paper and had my cricut easy press set at 385 for 40 seconds. I did to cold peel and the design peeled away from fabric. I retried several times and same thing. Any advice is appreciated . Thank you!
My best guess is you are not curing your design enough. it takes longer than 30 seconds to a minute for mine to fully cure mine was closer to like 2-3 minutes.
It’s the rollers on your printer try turning down the quality or changing paper settings. Everyone’s printer is different so you may just need to play around with it a bit
Corrinne, what's up with the black powder?I went to buy the white through your link and there is black also. Does this work on darker color shirts or do you know? Just wondering...😊
Black powder is used for other colour shirts like red, orange etc, but only in genuine dtf, you can only use this process on light shirts due to the sublimation ink.
Yep aus nailed it. The white is all you can use wit sublimation. Dtf printing the true kind can be used on other colored shirts but since ths is sublimation it’s still light color only
Black DTF blockout powder is used to block garment colour or patterns that might be visible through the transfer. It is best mixed with standard, white DTF powder that can be found here in order to improve washability as black powder is not as strong on its own.
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you for your quick reply! ❤️ Soooo total abbreviation error on my end. I purchased DTV paper not DTF 😅 but good to know for DTF if I use it in the future!
@@CorinneBlackstone direct to fabric I have seen them, yes pricey. So I can get a suplimation ink printer and print on the proper tranfer paper and go straight to heat press onto tshirt?
@@82burban yes I would recommend you watch some videos in my sublimation playlist to learn more about how sublimation works and what it can be pressed on
I've done a few of these prior to seeing your video. I have noticed black marks throughout the image and once even an ink blotch. What print settings do you use to avoid this?
omg... i hsve such an ocd.. that paper next to your press.. when you lift it and press it.. it's driving me nuts that you don't remove it, lol. but i like your video otherwise
Well of course I’m not going to remove it. It’s held on with magnets so I keep it held on to one side so I can easily replace it when I am finished with the project that does not use the Teflon sheet.
