DTF sheets are often used on cotton fabrics, so some may wonder if they can also be used on polyester. The answer is yes, they can. In practical print design, sublimation printing is typically used for polyester fabrics. Besides dye sublimation printing, DTF printing can also be used on polyester.
In DTF printing, DTF transfer film is a crucial component, without which the entire transfer process would be impossible. This leads to many people not knowing what to consider when purchasing DTF film.
Curing DTF powder is one of the most important steps in the DTF printing process. Done right, it ensures your transfers adhere properly, maintain vibrant color, and withstand repeated washing. While many beginners consider using a standard oven, it’s important to understand that not all ovens are created equal when it comes to curing.
DTF transfer film is essentially DTF film in sheet form, and it generally comes in both rolls and sheets.
While it's technically possible to use sublimation ink for DTF film, it is not recommended. DTF ink remains the optimal choice for DTF film due to significant differences in their working principles and heat transfer requirements, which directly impact the final transfer quality and printing stability.
In DTF (Direct to Film) printing, precise alignment between white underbase ink and colored ink layers is essential for producing sharp and professional transfers. However, many users experience an issue known as **DTF white ink shifting**, where the white ink does not align properly with the color layer. This misalignment leads to ghosting, blurring, or halo effects around the design, severely affecting print quality and customer satisfaction.
