  • Does DTF require any pre-treatment
    DTF does not require pre-treatment as the binding agent (dtf powder adhesive) is applied to the back of the ink. Both the ink and adhesive powder are cured together using heat. When applied with a heat press the adhesive powder re melts and then binds to the fabric, the negates the need for any pre-treatment.
  • Can I use DTF ink from one supplier and powder from another.
    It is always best to stick to one set of consumables. Mixing up different brands can cause durability issues in the wash and also effect print quality. The Resolute Premium DTF inks, DTF film & DTF powder are high quality and offer superior colour gammut and elasticity over cheaper options. They are manufactured work together in harmony, mixing other brands could effect print quality and durability.
  • What temperature can be used to wash DTF prints
    You should wash garments with DTF prints applied to the garment recomendations or 40c. The prints are very durable and should not crack or fade if you adhere to these parameters. DTF prints can stand higher temperatures but it is advised to keep to the garment recomendations. If you do see any excessive fading, peeling or cracking this is a sure sign the transfer has either not been cured correctly or the heat press settings used were not correct for that fabric type.
  • Can I use DTF on High Viz

  • What temperature and pressure to use when heat pressing
    For cotton the ideal temperature is 160c for 15 seconds with medium to light pressure. Once prssed allow to cool them peel the film off. If any small particles of glue are showing a second press for 5 seconds with silicone paper should get rid of these. For polyester you will need to go cooler, start at 135c for 12 seconds with medium to light pressure. Allow to cool then peel off the film, a second press for 5 seconds with silicone paper covering the ink will get rid of any rogue glue spots. You can reduce the temperature down to 120c but this will need some testing as all fabics are different. Hot peel films are generally the same but with the difference of instantly peeling the carrier film off quickly once the press time is over.
