Title: DTF MagicSeal
Post by: 3Deep on July 28, 2025, 12:35:57 PM
Hey have any of you tried this yet?  what I've read so far is it comes in a liquid form and sheet's funny my wife and I was talking about having a sheet that would make a nice pattern to press a DTF image into the shirt to soften it up and bang I find this.

Kinda what I was thinking, but you know you gotta ask, so far the halftone program I bought has did well when I had a print that would work

We tested it out.  Worked on one specific garment we did, didn't work on a few others - no discernable difference often.  I do remember testing pressing with polo material vs parchment paper and seeing a bit of a difference.  So, it's definitely possible to press in something different and get a slight pattern / different feel, but very difficult to achieve a good result and hit or miss based on the garment it seems.  99% of people won't notice the difference when you are able to make it different imo.  Not to mention following the directions means it will take longer to print (to evaporate the liquid largely).

The best we have found is using a pique polo material to press with after the transfer has been applied to the shirt.

Yeah we've been doing that already kind of a hit and miss on certain art according to size
