Advantages of Hot-Peel DTF Film
- Hot Peel: Allows for Instant Hot Peeling (removing the film instantly after heat press), film needs to be peeled from the shirt while still hot/warm.
- High Ink Absorption (no ink bleeding): The ink absorption rate is higher than normal PET films, minimizing or eliminating ink bleeding/ ink running on the film.
- Ultra Vivid colors: Amazing colors, amazing vibrancy!
- Ultra Soft Hand Feel
- No oil-returning: Unlike some PET films, this film won't leave any oily stains on your shirt.
WARNING: Work in a well-ventilated area and use Protective Equipment when working with DTF products and processes as fumes may be hazardous. DTF inks and PET films require a good humidity environment - 40%-60% humidity is highly recommended to minimize the risk of ink clogs and film buckling.
