> 3 dayI used this for sublimation DYF and the paper actually goes through my printer without adding weight or a sheet of paper to it. The prints come out great but I would recommend doing a cool peel because when you pull it off hot it doesnt stick as well. It is a cold or hot peel. It was super easy to use and I definitely will be purchasing more because its a great product. I do wish it was the same size as a regular piece of paper though. Keep in mind this paper is the A4 setting in your Eco Tank for the size of paper. Definitely recommend and would love to try out more of their products! Definitely a great buy and I have no issues here.

> 3 dayThe product will most likely produce the best quality with a DTF printer, but they are extremely expensive for the amount of fabric printing I do. I tested using an Epson Sublimation printer and after perfecting the temperature and pressing time, I was super happy with the results. So, contrary to manufactures statement, which reads, Must use with DTF ink. Regular ink, sublimation ink can not be used, with the same brand DTF transfer film, DTF ink and hot melt powder, the transfer effect is more perfect. While that may be true, for a more perfect transfer, I disagree entirely that sublimation ink can not be used. YES! Sublimation ink can be used. :-) What did I use: Epson SureColor F170 sublimation printer with genuine Epson Sublimation inks WELACER DTF Transfer Film Sheets Godora Transfer Powder (DTF White Powder Hot Melt Adhesive) - You can not skip this step! VEVOR Heat Press (12 x15) Tips: PRINTING ON THE TRANSFER SHEETS: This slowed down the process but made it fool-proof 100% of the time. These sheets are very thin. Putting a single (or multiple sheets) in the printer tray caused a misfeed, and printing started midway down the sheet which ruined that sheet. When that happened, I didnt want to ruin any more sheets, so I taped the top of the sheet to copier paper (glossy side of transfer sheet against the paper so it prints on the dull side of the sheet). I used only a sliver of tape (about 3/8 in length) on the top left and top right. I place only one set of taped sheets at a time in the tray. It fed perfectly each time. I prepared all sheets with the copy paper so it was ready to use when I needed it) APPLYING THE HOT MELT POWDER: Immediately after printing, carefully and quickly remove the copy paper, lay the transfer sheet on a flat surface (I use a 3 deep 11 x 14 bin), shake the transfer powder over the entire printed area, fully covering it. Let it rest on top for a few seconds; at least 15. Grab the sides of the sheet firmly, lift the sheet and curl the sheet, allowing the powder to roll from side to side, top to bottom over the printed image; dont agitate, you might smear the printed image. Slide all excess powder off the sheet and into the bin. Holding the sheet firmly along the edges, Gently tap the edge of the sheet inside the bin to release remaining excess powder. Visually examine the sheet. If you see excess powder on the non printed areas, gently tap again. CURING THE POWDER before the transfer: The powder needs to set. There are special ovens for this, but you dont need the additional expense. I use the heat press, about an inch away from the platen, and place the transfer sheet (of course, powder side up) and leave it under there (380 degress) for 3 minutes. PLEASE TEST YOUR OWN SETTINGS! During these 3 minutes, I empty the bin of the powder, into a small plastic container so I can re-use it. I see people (on DIY videos), emptying it back into the original container. Why? You might end up mixing unwanted particles with the unused powder. In a small container you can see and remove any unwanted particles. But, thats just me. TRANSFER IMAGE ONTO SUBSTRATE: I highly recommend you sacrifice an actual garment that you plan to transfer onto, and test small areas at a time, multiple times on the test garment until you find the best temperature and timing. For my equipment, 380 degrees, at slightly more than medium pressure for 40 seconds yielded the very best results. Always press the garment first for about 6 seconds to remove wrinkles and moisture. Even though the powder has been baked, it can still be damaged if touched. So, eyeball the placement carefully before placing the transfer sheet onto the garment. It can be very slightly nudged if you need to reposition it, but I would not recommend it. REMOVING THE TRANSFER SHEET. Welacer states that the transfer can be removed while it is still hot (or cold). This may be true for DTF inks, but I found that for sublimation inks, WAIT until it is fully cooled off. Removing warm tugs at the fabric and takes a bit of effort to remove. It generally doesnt damage the image, but it will pull on the fabric and can nick off part of the image. When fully cool, it lifts off effortlessly, and no tugging at the garment. Important to note about this Seller: This is my second order of this product. I needed more sheets to finish a job and was thrilled that they were offering a nice discount this time around. Unfortunately, the discount was most likely offered because ALL OF SHEETS had fingerprint marks along two of the edges. Luckily, it did not interfere with print area, but, I am extremely disappointed. I would rather have paid full price if I thought the discounted product would be defective. The worst part: They inserted the sheets INCORRECTLY into the cellophane wrapper. Theres a sticker on the wrapper that states Print Side. The print side is dull and the non-print side is shinny. However, the difference between the 2 is very slight, so you have to view it at an angle to make sure. Well, these were inserted wrong. Had I NOT already worked with my first order (which was packaged correctly) I would have ruined a sheet or two. This would have been disastrous for a first-time user. There are other DTF Transfer sheets out there... I will try others before I trust this vendor again.

> 3 dayProduct works as it should however I almost threw it away. Product came in a thin cardboard fold like thing and I though it was part on the box to hold the bottom from separating until it fell out and there was a little sticker on it

> 3 dayThis product works, but I have to apply it as soon as it prints because once the ink dries to a certain point this no longer sticks well. It could be a combination of the sublimation paper and ink that I use as well as this product. It works perfectly as long as I apply it right away. I would buy again

> 3 dayThe ink itself is great. But they come in small bottles it’s not enough for the price that we are paying. It only comes in 100ml. They don’t have an option for a larger amount. Just go with other inks that offer more options. Overall like I said good ink not worth the price.
