FAQ: DTF Film

1. How many transfers can be made with a roll of DTF film?

This depends on the roll width and design size. Allow about 1 cm margin between designs for easier cutting. Logos and small formats optimise yield. With spacing, marks, and wasted areas, a 10-20% loss is common.

2. Does DTF film work on textiles with elastane (lycra, spandex)?

Hot peel DTF film has excellent elasticity after transfer. It follows the fabric's movement without cracking, ideal for sportswear and stretch textiles.

3. Is DTF film compatible with continuous roll-to-roll production?

DTF roll films are designed for continuous printing. They ensure good flatness, consistent tension, and optimal stability on automatic feeding and winding systems.

4. What is the shelf life of unused DTF film?

Between 12 and 18 months in a dry environment, 20-25 °C, protected from humidity and direct light. After extended storage, a print test is recommended before starting production.

5. Does DTF film require pre-treatment of the textile?

DTF film is applied directly to clean, dry textiles. No pre-treatment is required, simplifying the process, reducing production times, and limiting operational costs.
