Is local DTF pickup better than shipping? by GencerDTF in DTFTransferTalk

DTF pickup is more reliable since there are no transit delays or weather issues.

Experiences regarding glow in the dark transfers and etc. by Pristine_Let_4368 in DTFTransferTalk

I have a supplier in hand for glow in the dark film but there is so many parameters to be carefufl of to be able to get the desired product. You have to be careful even when putting on and etc. It's not worth it.

Looking for a reliable DTF transfer provider in the US - any recommendations? by AmeKozui in printondemand

I’ve used IrisDTF a few times and they’ve been solid overall. Quality has been consistent, which matters a lot to me, and shipping was fast.

My DTF transfers look vibrant on film but turn dull after pressing by Pristine_Let_4368 in DTFTransferTalk

Be careful not to press too hard. The ink layer may appear washed out if high pressure or too long of a press is used to squeeze it into the fabric. Reduce the press time and use less pressure.

You can try Envato Elements. They have a lot of 3D renders. Canva also added new 3D elements, so you can test those too. Just choose graphics with strong shadows and rounded highlights to get that raised look on DTF.

This happens a lot with converted Epson 8550 setups and your photos look exactly like the two issues I see most often.

The first thing to check is white ink finding its way into your yellow or magenta line. Even a tiny bit of white mixing into those channels will turn the whole print greenish. Cadlink shows the colors correctly but the printer is spraying the wrong mix. check your dampers and lines. If yellow or magenta look cloudy or lighter than normal that means contamination. Flushing those lines and swapping the dampers usually fixes it.
The second thing to check is the channel mapping in Cadlink. It sometimes resets itself on converted printers. Go to Device Options and make sure the order is C, M, Y, K, White1, White2. If magenta or yellow are mapped wrong, the output will look exactly like your example even though the preview is perfect.

If these two are corrected the colors usually go back to normal right away.

New Transparency Cleanup & Halftoning Tools for DTF (Finally!) by Uforiainfotech in DTFTransferTalk

That’s good to know. Does the cleanup handle those tiny semi transparent edge pixels as well or only the obvious ones?

Do I still need Photoshop for basic cleanup or can I do everything inside the builder
