DTF Transfer

More Information about Transfer

DTF transfers are printed on a 60 cm wide roll and ordered in meters. The printable width of the film is 56 cm. Pigment inks in CMYK+white colors are used. Transfers are typically finished with polyurethane adhesive, providing high flexibility.

Our DTF transfers are printed in top-notch quality. Simply upload the print file, select the desired quantity, and we'll take care of the rest. The finished transfers will be conveniently delivered to you by mail, allowing you to print your desired textile in perfect quality within moments, without the need for owning your own DTF printing system. Arrange your designs, motifs, or logos in portrait orientation on the desired format. See preview picture.

Coldpeel
For graphics with fine lines, the Coldpeel foil is the ideal choice. Due to its properties, this foil can accurately transfer finer details without the risk of thin prints peeling off. If your graphic contains fine lines, we recommend choosing this option to ensure the highest quality results.

Hotpeel
The Hotpeel foil is suitable for general use, but thin lines may peel off. If you order a graphic with fine lines on Hotpeel and there are issues with the print, we will automatically use Coldpeel and refund the difference in price. This way, we ensure that your print is always of the highest quality without unnecessary complications.

Storage
In a dust-free environment with low ambient humidity, at room temperature without exposure to direct sunlight.

How to Apply the Transfer Correctly

Ironing:

• After receiving the order, simply cut out the desired motifs.
• Pre-iron the fabric to remove any residual moisture.
• Iron the transfer onto the product for 20 seconds at a medium pressure and a temperature of 160 degrees.
• For materials such as polyester and softshell, you can reduce the ironing temperature (approximately 130 degrees) and ironing time.
• Carefully peel off the foil after pressing. In the case of cold foil, remove it after it has cooled down.
• We recommend a second ironing to the same temperature and pressure - approx. 5 sec. - preferably over a piece of cotton fabric.

Follow the ironing instructions provided with the shipment. 

What Files to Upload for Print and Preview Data

• When using very thin fonts, the white underlayer is pushed to its limits. The recommended font thickness is 1-2 mm. Fine lines/dots less than 1-2 mm may not be printed.
• Files must always be presented without a background - NOT MIRRORED!
• File format: PDF. Insert data in height - 56 x 100 cm.
• CMYK color spaces are suitable for DTF printing. We work with CadLink software and the corresponding color profile.

Data preparation:

• Prepare the graphic by removing the background and setting its dimensions to 56 x 100 cm. Ensure that the graphic resolution is not lower than 300 dpi, and the colors are in CMYK mode. The minimum acceptable line thickness is 1-2 mm.
• If the graphic does not meet these requirements:
  • Smaller elements may not be printed.
  • There may be visible white underlayer at the edges of the graphic.
  • Elements will not be adequately overprinted, which can lead to application issues.
• If the file contains white color, make sure it is defined correctly. Standard white color (RGB 255, 255, 255) will not be printed with white ink. For correct printing, the white should be defined as a special spot color – either as ‘white underbase’ or as pure white color (white).
