This combination allows for vibrant, durable prints on various fabrics, ensuring excellent color fidelity and wash resistance. Ideal for custom apparel and textile applications, DTF transfers deliver professional-grade results with flexibility and precision.

FAQ & Troubleshooting:

Issue: DTF Print is lifting off the garment and transfer film is not releasing easily.

1. Increase the temperature by 10 degrees Fahrenheit as some heat presses may not accurately maintain temperatures or provide uniform heating.

2. Enhance pressure to ensure uniform contact across the bottom platen.

3. Ensure the garment is completely cold before removing the transfer to prevent the adhesive from sticking to the cold peel film.

Issue: DTF Print has watermarks after pressing onto the garment.

1. Inspect the DTF transfer before pressing; if it feels oily, slimy, or wet, cure the transfer to evaporate excess moisture by placing it under the heat press or running it through a conveyor dryer.
2. If the issue persists after pressing, wipe the print with a clean cloth to remove moisture and press again.

Issue: Small lines or details are not transferring to the garment.

Ensure that the print on the film includes white ink for small details to transfer. If not, increase the size of small details and reprint.
