Learning about members
Hi everyone, who here is already incorporating DTF into their business? How long have you been using it and any tips you can share? We’ve recently starting using it for orders when screen printing doesn’t make since due to quantity or lots of colors etc.

Hi, Missy! I've been doing it since 2020. My best advice would be to halftone your design to get the closest hand feel to screen printing that you can get with DTF.

Screen printing still wins on hand feel and (to me at least) is the epitome of softness. To get close to it, we limit our white underbase and white under black, and YES halftone makes it so much better!
Configurations
Out of curiosity i wanted to know what kind of configurations are you guys running on your machines, film, powder, pass settings eclotion etc and how are they working out. Ill start. Double coated hot peal film High pigment chinese inks, lubricated Course white powder 6 pass Strong A eclotion (similar to a custom 90%) The film is great especially for in house jobs, color density is less than the cold peal films, eclotion helps use run longer print runs without fear of banding, 6 pass quality os a little grainy but gives us a quicker print speed. The inks i have been happy with so far.

double coated smart peel high pigment, low sedimentation ink 80-170 micron powder 6 pass Normal, Depth eclosion For graininess, do a vertical check. Your color printhead may be tilted to one side.
Intro to Gregacy DTF Transfers
Hello everyone! This is Mylo with Gregacy DTF Transfers. We are a small shop in Conroe, Tx that primarily prints transfers and dabbles in competed tshirt sales. Our doors opened about 5 months ago, so we are still in our growth phase. Business is slowly trickling in more and more each month. We joined this page to give and receive advice from others within our business community. And to learn more about how to help our business grow. We run a Mimaki 300 and our prints are remarkable! Well, except compared to Jerald's. We bought identical transfers from several local shops and even a national one. We did a blind quality comparison test, both before and after pressing onto a shirt. Happy to say, we were only second to Merch Studio! His colors just have that extra pop! You really should buy test transfers from high quality printers like Merch Studio and some others to see where you stand within the industry. It can go a long way to helping you dial in your product!

@Hashvin Daryanani 100% TRUE! The biggest cost that we have in DTF printing is labor, and the less we have to worry about the machine, the better off we are.

@John Florence for those, I would recommend finding a good DTF print supplier close to you. DTF printing requires time and has a learning curve, and you can best utilize your time networking (locally for custom shirt business) and social media marketing. Not to worry as both will be tackled in the course as well. That said, you can definitely save money (and increase your profits) if you print your DTF yourself.

great input, everyone. People often think that DTF printers advocate outsourcing printing if the goal is to sell shirts, but the reality is that there is already a lot of work to be done selling apparel that adding the weight of DTF printing and keeping your machine going (not to mention the cost of the machine) can become overwhelming real quick. After all, there's a reason why most DTF printers don't sell shirts online, and it's because each beast (selling apparel and DTF printing) is difficult to tame, and the fastest way to succeed is to focus on that one thing until you have enough financial bandwidth to expand.
WELCOME! We'd love to get to know you!
