What is DTF inkjet heat transfer film?

• July 31 2024

DTF ink powder heat transfer film is an ink-absorbing PET film for digital printing , suitable for digital transfer printing . The pattern obtained after ironing has a texture similar to that of PU glue, providing high stretch resilience without deformation and a softer feel compared to glue. It is compatible with most inks on the market , allowing 100% printing without ink accumulation or flow. The surface of the film is dry and can be sprinkled with 200 mesh ultra-fine powder without sticking, facilitating hot, warm or cold application .

When using DTF ink powder heat transfer film, the surface with the ink-absorbing coating should be the printing surface. Care should be taken when handling and pay attention to the ink-absorbing anti-scratch coating. After printing, bake for 40-90 seconds and choose 60-80 mesh hot melt powder for instant tearing , with 100-150 mesh hot melt powder recommended for warm or cold tearing, and more than 150 mesh hot melt powder recommended for cold tearing . Store the film in a dry place, paying attention to humidity .

It is important to note that if the baking temperature is too high or the baking time is too long after printing with hot melt powder, white spots may appear on the surface of the pattern. This is due to the slow drying agent in the ink, which forms a film after the hot melt powder is heated and cannot be volatilized . After the gas is cooled, it forms mist crystals on the surface of the pattern. This whitening phenomenon will gradually disappear after several days of storage and contact with air and will not affect the beauty of the pattern thereafter.

The pressing temperature for transfer is 140-160 degrees , 6-10 seconds, according to the different mesh of the hot melt powder, and the most suitable temperature zone for the fabric can be adjusted to easily achieve hot tearing .
