DTF ink powder thermal transfer film is an ink-absorbing PET film, suitable for digital transfer printing. The pattern obtained after ironing has a texture similar to PU glue, providing high elastic resilience without deformation and a softer feel than glue. It is compatible with most inks available on the market, allowing 100% ink printing without build-up or bleeding. The surface of the film is dry and can be dusted with 200 mesh ultra-fine powder without sticking, making it easy to apply hot, warm or cold.

When using DTF ink powder thermal transfer film, the surface with the ink-absorbing coating should be the printing surface. Care should be taken when handling and attention should be paid to the anti-scratch ink absorbent coating. After printing, bake for 40-90 seconds and choose hot melt powder of 60-80 mesh to achieve instant tearing, hot melt powder of 100-150 mesh is recommended for warm or cold tearing, and hot melt powder of more than 150 mesh is 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 cools, mist crystals form on the surface of the pattern. This bleaching phenomenon will gradually disappear after several days of storage and contact with air, and will not affect the beauty of the pattern afterwards.

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