Printing Instructions:

• Film Loading: Load the Resolute Premium Ultra DTF™ Hot Peel Film into your ULTRA DTF™ enabled V8 system.
• Adhesive Powder:
  • Use the Resolute Stripe Blocking Adhesive Powder (Silver Grey).
  • Empty any standard powder from the collection drawer and powder hopper.
  • Place the Stripe Blocking powder in the bottom of the film loop with the spool. Do not place this powder in the top powder hopper.

  • Use your standard print queue in the Resolute RIP, imposing artwork in 70cm segments.
  • Import the PRN file into PrintEXP software.
  • Set white ink to two passes and reduce white ink level to 80% using the "Mul Ink" or "CUT INK" button.
• Curing:
  • Set the top curing heater to 2/3rds or a dull glow.
  • Ensure the white ink is gelled before reaching the powder area to prevent running.
  • Curing temperature settings may need to be adjusted slightly, as each machine varies.
• Continuous Printing: Once printing begins, it must continue without interruption to prevent ink curing under the top heater.
• Initial Waste: Expect the first meter or so of film to be wasted due to potential imperfections.

Heat Pressing Instructions:

• Specific Settings Required: The Ultra DTF™ transfers require specific pressing conditions.
• Heat Press Settings:
  • Recommended: 130°C (266°F) for 8 seconds, but this may vary.
  • Verify heat press temperature consistency using a laser thermometer.
• Heat Press Bed Preparation:
  • Place a cotton t-shirt or similar fabric on the heat press bed; do not place the garment directly on the rubber or silicone bed.
  • Split the garment to only press one layer of fabric.
• Pressure:
  • Use 3/4 pressure on a pneumatic press (high pressure).
  • This ensures the Stripe Blocking powder melts and adheres to the fabric.
• Image Coverage:
  • Cover the transfer with Resolute silicone paper; do not use Teflon or parchment paper.
• Peeling:
  • Peel the transfer film swiftly back on itself after 2-4 seconds.
• Second Press:
  • A second press (2-3 seconds) with silicone paper may be needed for some fabrics.
• Resolute Stripe Blocking Adhesive Powder:
  • This Silver Grey powder is designed exclusively for the Ultra V8 System.
  • It provides excellent adhesion and superior wash fastness.
  • It's quality is extremely high, and formulated to prevent dye migration.
  • It is crucial for preventing dye migration on polyester fabrics.
• Wash Fastness:
  • Properly pressed transfers exhibit excellent wash fastness.
  • Wash in cool water.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals like Vanish or stain removers.
  • Do not tumble dry on high heat.  
• Troubleshooting:
  • Peeling transfers indicate insufficient heat or pressure.
  • Bleeding transfers suggest excessive heat.
