1. Soft texture: The transferred pattern has a texture similar to PU glue, and feels softer than glue, and is 30% to 50% softer than the pattern printed on the oily coating film; it has strong stretch resilience and does not deform.
2. Wide material applicability: It is suitable for a variety of clothing materials, such as cotton, nylon, treated leather, polyester, 50/50 blends, and light and dark fabrics. It can also be applied to different types of surfaces, such as luggage, shoes, glass, wood and metal.
3. No pretreatment required: The hot melt ability of DTF transfer can directly bond the print to the material without the need for a pretreatment process, saving time and cost.
4. Save white ink: Compared with DTG (direct to garment) printing, which requires about 200% white ink, DTF requires less white ink, about 40%, which can save costs.
5. Good durability: The pattern directly transferred to the film has a good effect after washing, is flexible, and will not crack or peel easily, suitable for items with heavy use.
Design and layout: Use image editing software to design the pattern to be printed and layout it;
Printing pattern: Use a DTF printer to print the designed pattern on the coated PET film, print the colored part first, and then cover it with a layer of white ink;
Automatic powder shaking: After printing, put the PET film into the powder shaking machine and automatically sprinkle TPU powder as an adhesive;
Heating and drying: Heat and dry the PET film after powdering to better fix the TPU powder on the film;
Pressing and transfer: Put the dried PET film on the T-shirt and press it with a heat press to transfer the pattern to the T-shirt. The pressing temperature and time are usually 150 degrees and 7 seconds.
