DTF print demo videos (AM training / support)

Product: DTF (direct-to-film) textile printing: the design is printed in colour plus white ink onto PET film, covered with hot-melt adhesive powder, baked, then heat pressed onto a T-shirt or other garment and the film peeled off. AM sells desktop A3 DTF printers, A3 printer and powdering sets, 300 mm and 600 mm roll printer and powdering sets, and the powder shaking and baking machines that go with them. This index collects the 65 DTF print demo clips, shorts and competition videos in the AM YouTube dump that are not already listed in another AM how-to index. For DTF setup, maintenance, software and the full DTF SKU list, see DTF textile printer how-to videos. For pressing the transfers, see Heat press how-to videos, and for the InkRIP software named in some sets, see InkRIP Easy RIP how-to videos. For UV-DTF stickers (a different process), see UV-DTF how-to videos.

Source: local AM YouTube dump youtube.jsonl (daily and main channels; refreshed 2026-10-18 00:25 SAST). First written 2026-10-18 14:38 SAST with 65 videos. YouTube was not crawled. Titles and watch URLs below are taken from the dump, including any spelling slips in the original (for example one title writes H-DTF/POWER/300 for H-DTF/POWDER/300). Videos were not watched. Most of these clips are short machine-running demos with music and no speech, so their dump transcripts are empty or only music tags; the only spoken content used is the dump transcripts (machine captions, which mishear some words), and no transcripts are invented.

English dump titles (65 unique watch URLs)

Grouped by machine or topic and sorted by date. AM-channel uploads are framed as AM training/support sources. Each watch URL is a source. Matching used titles that name DTF or direct-to-film, minus any video already in another AM how-to index. Deduplicated by watch ID. The model named in a daily-channel title is the machine shown in that clip.

DTF T-shirt and print demos on the main channel (2023 to 2026)

What the dump transcripts say:

• Cross-hatch design with gold foil (2026-08-17): a cross-hatch design printed with gold printing paper onto white material. White DTF powder is used before baking: use white DTF powder on white or light materials and black DTF powder on black or dark materials. After the powder is baked on, the design is heat pressed onto the material and the gold foil peeled off, and a second print can be added at that stage. AM sells the DTF powders and effect foils.
• Incubation program client (2025-08-11): a corporate branding and printing business in the AM.CO.ZA incubation program says it does its work on the industrial machines in the AM workshop, and that its DTF prints have been wash-tested at more than 100 washes and stayed vivid in colour and quality without peeling.
• Picture demos (2024-08-24, three videos): music-only print demos (cupcake, colourful jeweller hand and golden hand pictures) that end with the AM brand message: AM.CO.ZA showrooms in Sunnyrock, Johannesburg and Montague Gardens, Cape Town, and WhatsApp 060 600 6000.
• The 2023 shorts (including a 600 mm DTF glove print and a "Go Bokke" T-shirt) have no usable speech in the dump.

DTF printing competition (January to March 2025, now closed)

This competition is closed. It was launched in January 2025 and the result video was posted on 2025-03-06, so do not offer it to clients as a current promotion. What the dump transcripts say:

• How it worked (2025-01-22): print any design on a T-shirt, as long as it comes from an AM DTF printer (the 600 mm, the 300 mm or the A3). Put your name and email address in an envelope, staple it inside the back of the shirt, and hand it in. Every entry was displayed in the AM showroom, and walk-in clients (the video says more than 100 a day) signed the back of the shirt they liked best. The shirt with the most signatures won R10,000 in cash. The launch video gave 31 March as the selection date, but the result was announced earlier (see below). Every entry also earned a R200 credit on the Buythis online store, for entrants registered on buythis.co.za.
• Why AM ran it: the presenter says that over the previous two years AM had sold plenty of its 600 mm DTF printers and many of its smaller 300 mm DTF printers, that the A3 had recently become the top seller in the DTF range, and that AM had sold several hundred DTF printers in total.
• Reminders (2025-01-31 and 2025-02-18): shirts were arriving and going up on the showroom wall; enter early to gather more signatures.
• Result (2025-03-06): the signatures on the leading shirts were counted and the winning shirt (a "Catzilla" design) had 43 signatures. The winner was phoned to arrange the prize, and second place was close behind. Entrants registered on buythis.co.za received the R200 credit per entry.

F-DTF/A3 A3 DTF printer with the H-DTF/POWDER/300 powder shaker (daily channel, 2025 to 2026)

The F-DTF/A3 is a barebone A3 DTF printer for one Epson XP600 printhead, shown here with the H-DTF/POWDER/300 rolled-film powder shaking and baking machine. What the dump transcripts say:

• Preparing artwork (2026-10-01): in this demo the print canvas in the software was set to about 29 by 30 cm. It is better to import an image that is too big and reduce it than to import a small one and enlarge it. When a client sends artwork on WhatsApp, ask them to attach it as a document rather than as a photo, so WhatsApp does not reduce the image quality; email or shared folders also work.
• The other clips are print-and-powder demos (church prayers and logos, KEGO logos, Real Madrid logos, school uniform logos, African art, stickers, colour alignment and smooth-print tests) with no usable speech in the dump.

H-DTF A3 printer and powdering sets, and other A3 DTF clips (daily channel, 2025 to 2026)

These clips show the H-DTF A3 sets: H-DTF/A3/XP600 (A3 printer with a powdering and baking oven), H-DTF/A3P/XP600 (A3 printer with an automatic powdering machine), and the H-DTF/A3PS/XP600 and H-DTF/A3PT/XP600 complete sets and packages, which add InkRIP software and consumables (see the product names below). Three clips titled only "A3 DTF" do not name a model. What the dump transcripts say:

• Pressing time (2026-06-09): the presenter explains that the higher the press temperature, the shorter the time, and the lower the temperature, the longer the time. Check the film and powder instructions for the actual settings.
• The other clips are print, powder and bake demos (school logos, cartoon and game characters, graffiti text, business logos, children's winter garments and a voting poster) with no usable speech in the dump.

H-DTF 300 mm and 600 mm roll DTF printer and powdering sets (daily channel, 2025)

These clips show the 300 mm sets (H-DTF/302/XP600 and H-DTF/303/XP600) and the 600 mm sets (H-DTF/600/XP600 hardware set, H-DTF/602/XP600 and H-DTF/603/XP600 with InkRIP, H-DTF/605/XP600 and H-DTF/606/XP600 with SAi FlexiPRINT). The dump transcripts for these clips are empty or only music tags, so no spoken content is used. They show roll-to-roll printing with the matching powdering machine or curing oven: company and brand logos, comic characters, illustration and beach artwork, drag racing logos, car wallpaper art and custom denim jackets.
