Correct film tension keeps DTF film stable and aligned as it moves through the printer. If the film is too loose, it may shift, wrinkle, feed unevenly or cause head strikes. If it is too tight, it may stretch, affect print alignment, cause feeding problems and put strain on the printer. Tension may need adjustment when changing roll sizes, such as 60 cm and 42 cm, as their weight and diameter can affect feeding.

I have a lovely, unforgettable memory of glow-in-the-dark prints from when I was 10 years old. I remember having a cute rabbit printed on my pyjama top, eating a carrot with a green leaf. But when I turned off the light, that cute rabbit suddenly looked different! 😂 My imagination convinced me it might come alive and turn into a monster and eat me instead of the carrot. We all have little childhood memories that stay with us for years and become stories we share with our lov

DTF Paper Overview DTF paper is a newer material in DTF printing, used similarly to DTF PET film with DTF ink and adhesive powder. Advantages: Avoids oil-related issues that can occur in PET films during long storage or with poor coating, offering a longer shelf life. Made from more environmentally friendly materials, with no plastic used in the base coating. Limitations: The coating may sometimes transfer with the paper, giving prints a dull appearance. Paper pulp is becomi

Many factors can cause this issue. Based on our experience, here’s what we’ve learned: 1. Printing on the wrong side of the Film With DTF PET film (especially double-sided frosted), it can be tricky to tell which side to print on, as both sides look similar. Fix: Scratch a small area on each side of the film; the side with residue is the correct printing side. If you accidentally print on the wrong side, gently wipe off the print, flip the film, and print again, there’s no ne

​ Hot peel Cold peel ​Peel ideally after a few seconds Peel after 15-20 seconds Perfect for heavy workloads Best for lower volume workload Most reliable with a controlled environment (controlled temperature and humidity) levels ​More reliable in uncontrolled/ variable environments (regarding temperature and humidity) Thinner coating layers (causing it to be more sensitive to the temperature and humidity of your workspace) Thicker co

Storing DTF Transfers: Up to 2 years How to Store DTF Transfers With good-quality DTF film, ink, and powder, transfers can be stored for a long time without losing colour, softness, or peel-off quality. Follow these tips: Separate transfers: Place butcher’s paper or parchment paper between transfers to prevent sticking and absorb any moisture. Use sealed containers: Store transfers in a sealed box or Ziplock bag with silica gel packets to keep out humidity. Avoid touching t

Art DTF PET Films Give your designs an extra artistic touch with our art PET films. They have a special coated side mixed with wax and are used like regular DTF PET film with standard DTF ink and adhesive powder. Thickness: 75 µm (5 layers) for optimal ink absorption. Storage: Keep in a dry, ventilated place with 45–60% humidity; reseal rolls when not in use. Heat Press: Settings differ from regular film—see product labels or our website. Tips: Start with 20 m sample roll

Cold peel Wait for 10-15 seconds Hot peel: instant peel

What is an ICC Profile? An ICC (International Colour Consortium) profile is a set of instructions that translates a device’s colours into numbers, ensuring different devices interpret them consistently. Think of it like a shared reference: without it, everyone might choose a different shade of green. With it, all devices using the profile can display the same colour accurately, helping what you see on screen match the final print.

Before refilling your cartridges: Low ink warnings: Don’t refill immediately, check if the cartridges are truly empty. Refilling too soon can cause false empty warnings due to the chip. When to refill: Only refill when the printer shows empty, ink is nearly gone, or print quality drops. Optimal use: We recommend avoiding manual firmware updates. Always use a full set of refillable cartridges, as some Epson printers may not work with a mix of refillable and original cartrid

Most common reasons for this issues are: Moisture in the powder Moisture in DTF film The excess powder is not properly shaken or removed before curing Static electricity, which can attract loose powder to the film around the printed area. Printhead blocked or damaged nozzle could cause spray small amounts of ink unevenly around the print area. The powder can then stick to these tiny ink droplets, creating excess powder around the print. Trouble shooting Try using a different

Single-sided vs double-sided frosted DTF PET film Not sure which DTF PET film to use? Here’s a breakdown to help you choose based on your printer and printing needs. Why Two Types Exist Single-sided frosted: Originally, DTF printing used only single-sided frosted PET film. The back is shiny, which sometimes caused desktop printers to reject the film or slip during feeding . Printers were designed for paper with optical “signatures” for recognition; PET film didn’t match, lead

Check your white ink saturation For most prints, we recommend using around 60–70% white ink. Some printers or print settings may use 100% white ink to provide a stronger base for the colours. However, too much white ink can cause it to run. If this happens, try gradually reducing the white ink saturation until you achieve a good white base without excessive ink flow. Try double-sided frosted PET film If reducing the white ink doesn’t help, try our double-sided frosted DTF PET
