Jecqbor DTF Powder White Digital Transfer Hot Melt Adhesive, 400g/14oz DTF Pretreat Powder for DTF Printer Direct Print on All Fabric Include Jeans Cotton T Shirt Textile etc

Good value on this Jecqbor DTF Transfer Film Paper (A4 size) for 30 sheets. Easy to tell the matte side for printing versus the shiny side. (Make sure you figure out which way to place the sheet into your feed tray, so that the correct side will be printed on. I always do a test where I mark a sheet on the side face-up with an x or whatever & print out a test sample.) Thought it might have trouble feeding thru my printer, since its thinner than a typical sheet of paper. But it had no issues feeding thru, and so I didnt even have to add any masking tape to help it grip better. Remember that this DTF film requires use with DTF powders. TIP: Dont bake the DTF powder on this film on Broil in a toaster oven, or the sheet will warp. Will need to see if a lower temp would work better or just use my heat gun next time instead, as I dont have a heat press.

DTF Transfer Film Paper PET Heat Transfer Paper A4 (30sheet), Double-Sided Glossy Clear Pretreat DTF Film for DTF Epson Inkjet Printer, Direct Print On T-Shirts Textile (8.3 x 11.7) I don’t have a proper DTF printer or inks, but I do have an inkjet printer and an Epson Ecotank loaded with sublimation inks, and I saw a number of youtube videos about doing bootleg DTF, so I decided to give it a go! Bottom lining it: with some trial and error, you can get pretty great DIY results using this product with sublimation or inkjet inks. In my experience, the sublimation ink produced a better print, but the inkjet did work. I also just want to caveat this with the expectation that these are very nice DIY results, but I wouldn’t put myself out there as a professional, because I don’t know how well the bootleg results would last over time. I’m using this for my own shop promo products that I wanted to print on cotton, not items I’m selling. And I’m not printing on anything that will be laundered or take the abuse that garments or a heavy-duty item would. I would not feel comfortable selling transfers without some serious trial and error. That said, I’m really happy with my DIY results, which look much better than your typical inkjet iron-on transfer material and have a lot more detail than my cricut/htv options (and a lot less time/work). And unlike straight sublimation, this works on cotton. But I am not a professional printer and can’t rationalize buying a proper DTF printer just for my occasional promo items, so these are purely DIY level results. I’d still go with a pro if I needed a large run or garments, but for small runs of promo items and one-off custom items for personal use, yay! So, if youve done this before and you just want to know if this product does what its supposed to do, Id say yes. If you want more details on trying it for DIY projects, read on... I used this film with a random brand of powder. Based on this, and the fact that this paper/film explicitly said it *wasn’t* for inkjet or sublimation inks, but ended up working, you might be able to get most random combos to work successfully with some trial and error. First of all, my powder didn’t include any instructions, so I got my info from you tubers and Professor Google. This paper includes instructions, but they were for a professional setup, and didnt so much apply to me. Which is to say, I did what the said not to do. :) Challenges with printing with a regular printer: Mirror/Reverse/Flip horizontally: If your printer doesn’t have this setting, you’ll need to mirror the original art. Feeding: DTF paper is slick and a regular printer isn’t designed to handle this substrate, so you’ll probably have problems (one printer jammed, another picked up the paper but would only print a couple of lines before stopping). I put a strip of washi tape across the top on the slick (non-printing) side and that was enough for two of my printers to grab it; the third would only grab it when I taped a sheet of copy paper to the slick side Streaks: Use standard print (not high quality) to minimize streaks. Experiment until you get as clean a print as possible. My ET-4750 (regular inkjet ink), which uses dye-based inks (not pigment-based) had the most trouble (both with feeding and a clean print). My WF-7720 made the cleaner print of the inkjets. Color: Both inkjets produced brighter colors than the sublimation inks, but the sublimation ink did really well with the white portion of the design, which was just clear/fabric color with the inkjet Coating the wet print with powder was straightforward—just sprinkle the powder over the wet print, then move the page side to side so the powder flows across it evenly, then tap off the excess. The printing will look like it’s coated with a fine layer of fine sugar. You can keep reusing the excess powder. I use a small jar to pour the powder and a letter-sized plastic bin, and afterwards pour the excess back into the jar. Challenges with curing (the trickiest step): Heat press: While pros seem to cure with a hovering (not closed) heat press or specialized oven, my budget press wouldn’t cure the powder. Maybe I wasn’t hovering close enough to do the job, but the teflon fabric on the top of my press is saggy. (If your heat press is better than mine, the suggestion seems to be about 2 minutes at 325F.) Then I tried an old toaster oven with varying results. Try about a minute or so at 150. All this is going to vary with the peculiarities of your own oven, so youll need to experiment. Keep in mind this does produce fumes—nothing scary if you’re only doing a sheet or two, but you’ll definitely need ventilation if you cure more than that. Further, I wouldn’t do this with a toaster over you’re cooking in. When its done curing, it will look glossy, and be continuous with an orange peel appearance rather than a dry grainy appearance. Pressing: This was fairly straightforward. Working on 100% cotton muslin and canvas, I used my heat press at 325F, did a 15-second pre-press, a 15 second press covered with parchment, then a cold peel to remove the film, and another 15-second press with parchment. Voila! Dont skip that final press--its critical for getting the transfer to soak in so you dont have any visible edges. Results: While I liked the more vibrant look of the inkjet results, you can’t beat the white results with the sublimation ink (to be clear, it doesn’t print white, but the actual pale gray of the white does print in all formats—it’s just that perhaps something about the sublimation ink binds better with the powder to produce a better “white” effect in the final result? Conclusion: If you have an inkjet or sublimation printer, give it a whirl! Do know that you might waste a lot of paper before you get good results, but it’s a lot better looking and versatile than old-skool inkjet transfer paper.

Really nice ink! Easy to use and larger format bottles. The colors just pop. Great value.

Me encantó

The printer doesnt recognize it as a sheet of film. Its way too thin!

Nice bright colors. Smooth printing. I would recommend these.

This DTF powder is great. I used if for the DTF Sublimation Hack. It allows me to place the sublimation on products other than Polyester based products. The powder will be placed on the printed project. Be careful because the ink will be wet. The powder will needed to then be cured. Once, cured you can place the item on your clothing, etc and press it. The pressing time is very short. Per the instructions, it is recommended at a temp of 320 degrees F, 8 seconds. Comes out great. And will not wash out.

I’m still waiting for my dtf printer so that I can try this ink. I have been using inkjet ink but I’m told that this ink will be better. The bottles hold a substantial amount of ink. Should last quite some time. I can’t wait.

We really like these inks. They give you 2 bottles of white, which is nice as you burn through a lot of white! So far, we have tested this ink in our L800 and 1390 based printers and it works just fine. The coverage is good and is color accurate. It also binds well with the dtf powders.

So I didnt read carefully, this is for sublimation printers only. I have a friend with one, so I was able to try it out and it works great. Now Im considering getting one for myself so I can put these to use at home.
