even if i try and try too hard nothing's ever enough even if i try and try too hard tell me what to do hey guys what's going on welcome to my channel if you're new here my name is angela and in today's video we're going to be doing some dtg aka direct garment i normally do embroidery but a big part of my business is dtg so i have the epson f-2100 direct-to-garment printer you can register from todd eggersman his information is right here or click the link down below um so on my etsy shop i sell a bunch of children's uh dtg shirts so birthday holiday back to school all of that so right now it's back to school time so i have a bunch of stuff to make you guys have not seen my dtg room yet um it's not fancy at all it's pretty dark it's in the basement normally in my old house i had everything on the same level but the dtg i prefer to be not it's heavy it's heavy so i have dtg my heat press downstairs in a pre-treat machine so i do use aj blanks for my direct to garment printer and i pre-treat them with firebird pre-treats so you'll see all that downstairs um just want to give you a quick intro um so for the last three days these are the orders i'm gonna be making a few things to note the ink if you guys have been watching for a while i have changed the ink on january 4th of this year it is what july now i've sold at least about 600 kids shirts this market is super super profitable um because the shirt cost the ink cost is almost like nothing absolute as well as the pre-treat so the profit margin on these shirts is super super high and again they're super quick to make as you'll see in today's video but yes if you're excited for this video please give it a thumbs up if you have any questions at all please leave them down below so let me go ahead and get downstairs i have to get the designs made because some are custom on design names i just need to add a name to it um and then you'll see how the whole process works usually my husband does do this part of the business and i just work up here on embroidery but for today's video you guys get to me so um let's just get right into the video yeah fan shout out goes to anna here at unique custom apparel here's her etsy shop she has great pictures my goodness they pop so well so look at all these items she sells so if you want to join my cfans and get a shout out in some videos early access to my videos 15 of my etsy course just a lot of perks um the link is down below in the description thank you for being a cf fan anna okay so we're down here the line down here is kind of booboo crap okay there's a window here and some booboo horrible lights so i'm sorry for the lighting um normally i do wipe it down with some last wipes a table um because dtg the pre-treat is like glue so when you're heating everything the glue gets all over the table you want to make sure it's clean especially dealing with white shirts um so wipe it down let it dry off keep pressing set to 345 degrees um don't think anything else you need to know this is the epson that's what the ink looks like and again the color ink has not been changed since january first january 4th um so yeah we're going to go ahead get the designs made up so we can get ready to go but first i'm going to clean the table so it can dry and i'm talking really fast because i have a lot to do today hey guys so i'm currently editing this video and i don't know how but somehow i changed the camera settings so like the rest of the video clips are kind of like standard definition like old-fashioned type so i apologize in advance when one in advance um i don't even know how it happened but it happened so just wanted to mention that but thank you so much i hope you stay tuned and give the video a thumbs up if you're enjoying it so far something we do a little differently than the black dtg shirt says for wide dtg instead of using zero pressure we do use a higher pressure we find that the white comes out better in terms like the white shirts the printing comes out better on them when we use more pressure when we put the pre-treat on the shirt so right now you can uh see the steam coming off so that's all the pre-treats the pre-treat is like blue coming out of the shirt and it's drying the shirt the shirt needs to be completely dry before you put any sort of ink on it um so usually yes it's about 80 seconds 85 seconds but touch it still wet put it back under um the heat press so from here what we're going to do is take this platinum off this is the medium platinum i use this for adult shirts and i'm going to put the small platen on this is a six by ten all right and here is the thingy i forgot the name of it that i'm gonna use so i usually thread it like this so make sure it is totally straight in center and then pull it down out here all right so from here what i do is i use this and i smooth it out to make sure there are no wrinkles at all and i gotta log into the computer and get it all set up heading to the computer over here because the charger that is dead okay so this is the garmin creator software i need to change the plat into the small platen which is oh i said 6x10 it's 10 by 12 my bad and print settings because it's just printing color i just do like color t-shirts standard level quality 4. obviously this is so i'm gonna delete it and i'm gonna be doing a kindergarten shirt so we've made a bunch of these recently so i know it's somewhere here let me expose these and just drag and drop they have to be png's and then i shrink it not that small and then i do about a inch so each of these squares is an inch so an inch from the top let's do a half inch half an inch from the top and then just click print so it's gonna pop up right here it's ready to print and we will start printing there it goes and while that's printing i try to go ahead and start pre-treating keep things moving to move as quickly and as efficiently as possible so i'm gonna go ahead and get this one pre-treated so we can keep moving keep going so it is 9 54 i am so let's see how long it takes to get these done here is the first one that's how it came out waiting for the um heat press to finish with that pre-treated shirts i can keep moving just lift this up carefully and then take this off here so finished you can kind of see it printing here because the laptops up here i can't really move it but here's the printing process my crusty dusty printer super cute now i'm waiting for this 30 seconds for the pre-treated shirt so i can keep moving there's another one of these i gotta make all right next shirt number three and the reason i'm checking for wrinkles is it'll tell you like platinum height error so if you see that area that means there's usually a wrinkle somewhere it will not print on wrinkles um which is obviously a good thing but if you're wondering why keeps beeping that's why keep free treatment gotta be gonna multitask so while y'all watch this i will multitask okay this one is done i have this one being heated as free treat and this one was just pre-treated so just waiting for the heat press this is when it would come in handy having more than one heat press because you can keep things moving but i don't have more than one but it's definitely not necessarily just speed to the process if you have a bunch of orders a little all right also that paper you just put on that is parchment paper you can get it from uline it's a lot cheaper than getting it from like all-american print supply or anything so next shirt this is finally gonna be a different shirt okay um waiting for this to color look at that beautiful shirt all right let's put on the heat press super cute keep recording all right here is the 56 shirt i don't know which one but super cute hot oh look at all those colors have to zoom in for you look at that it is so so so vibrant and super cute design waiting for the heat press to uh keep the other dtd shirt same design different name for a boy so this one myself a boy and girl great seller while i was waiting i went ahead and folded these so super cute put them in size order so five shirts done give you a time update in a minute another one super cute okay so that's the last ordered shirt um keenan is printing another shirt to go with this uh tutu was that birthday girl unicorn shirt that you saw me make earlier he just realized it matches this tutorial i have here in the live box so we're gonna go ahead and this might as well make it we already have everything set up and see if it sells as an outfit super excited for that and if you're curious about this light box um i have a video i'll post it right here we can go ahead and watch it and see we set up this entire light box and where i got it it is 10 19 so i don't know time we started maybe like 25 minutes to make one two three four five six seven shirts so like i said super quick super profitable items so yes so excited to go ahead and package these up so that's pretty much it for today's video if you have any questions please leave them down below if you like today's video please give it a thumbs up consider subscribing to the channel um
