Introduction To Our Easy Peel DTF Film

At DTF Transfers Australia we have tested many, many films form different suppliers from around the globe. And we continue to do this so we are sure that we are printing on the best PET, DTF Film available at the current time. we have established a great relationship with our current supplier, and they are keeping us abreast of their new advancements as they make them.

Premium Quality That Sets Us Apart

Our commitment to excellence is evident in every sheet of DTF film we produce. Engineered for true hot peel performance, our films ensure a smooth and efficient application process that saves time and reduces waste. But what truly sets our products apart is their unparalleled scratch resistance and soft hand feel – qualities rarely found together in other transfer options available on the market.

The Importance of Quality Film

One of the most important consumables in DTF printing is the film. The quality of your DTF film directly affects the final print outcome. Poor quality film can lead to issues like ink bleeding, uneven transfer, or even damage to your garments.

Using high-quality DTF film in the production of custom DTF Transfes ensures crisp, vibrant prints that hold up wash after wash. It’s the foundation of a quality DTF print, so we do not skimp on this crucial component.

Selecting the Right DTF Consumables

Choosing high-quality consumables is crucial for creating exceptional Custom DTF Transfers, with the selection of film being a fundamental first step.

While the market offers various inexpensive films, many of these are based on older, outdated technologies that lack the benefits provided by the latest generation of DTF Films.

Although cost-saving is an important consideration for many, decisions should also factor in the quality differences. Frequently, higher-quality DTF Films are not significantly more expensive than their cheaper counterparts, and investing just a few extra dollars can substantially enhance the quality of the final print.

Identifying High-Quality DTF Transfer Films

So, how can you spot a high-quality DTF transfer film? Two key factors to look for are transparency and coating quality.

In terms of transparency, a more opaque film usually indicates a thicker coating and better ink absorption. Some manufacturers offer different thicknesses (like 75μ and 100μ) for various printing needs, along with different layers of coatings that require the fitting of the transfer be handled differently when printing and fitting.

Coating quality is a telltale sign. Poor coating can cause ink to run off the film or result in uneven, blotchy prints. Looking for films with high ink loading, fine line printing capabilities, a top layer that releases easily and leaves a soft hand film are crucial in making a premium film.

Another consideration is how well the adhesive can be applied and removed from the un-printed area of the film is also a consideration that should be taken into account.

All of these factors need to be taken into account when selecting a film stock to print quality DTF Transfers onto.

The Role of PET Transfer Film in DTF Printing

PET transfer film is a key player in the DTF printing process, but not all PET films are created equal. DTF printing requires a specific type of PET film with a special ink-absorbing coating.

This coating gives DTF transfer film a matte, frosted appearance rather than being completely transparent like regular PET film. The ink-absorbing layer is crucial for ensuring the ink adheres properly to the film and transfers smoothly onto the fabric.

Using untreated or low-quality PET films might seem like a cost-effective option, but it can lead to a host of printing issues. You might encounter staining, poor adhesion, or even damage to your garments. Stick with tried-and-true DTF transfer films for the best results.

Advancements in Heat Transfer Technology

Heat transfer technology is constantly evolving, and these advancements are making DTF printing even better. One key innovation is the development of high-temperature resistant films.

Traditional PET films can sometimes curl or melt under the high heat required for DTF transfer. This can ruin your print and even damage your heat press. High-temperature resistant films, on the other hand, can withstand the heat without any issues.

These advanced films allow for a smoother, more reliable transfer process. They also expand the range of fabrics you can print on, including heat-sensitive materials like nylon or spandex.

As heat transfer technology continues to improve, we can expect even more exciting developments in the world of DTF printing. From faster transfer times to enhanced durability, the future looks bright for this innovative printing method.

Different Types of DTF Transfer Films

Originally, DTF Film was only available as a cold peel film, but as technology and methods rapidly advanced, a hot peel film was developed. This new film only needed a few seconds to cool before it could be peeled. Eventually, a breakthrough led to the introduction of a true hot peel film that could be peeled immediately.

Today, the primary types of film available are true hot peel film, hybrid film, and cold peel film. Cold peel films are now primarily used for specialty finishes, such as gold foil or glitter.

We explore specialty finishes in greater detail in our other articles. Our articles help build on our overview of the different types of films, including the use of cold peel films for unique effects like glow in the dark or pearl finish transfers.

Vibrant Colours & Photo Realistic Prints

The ability of our DTF transfers to reproduce vibrant colours and photo-realistic prints will leave you astounded. By utilising advanced colour management techniques, high-quality ink formulations, Adhesives and quality film we produce prints that pop to life on most fabrics. This capability ensures your designs stand out from the crowd whether they’re bold graphics or intricate patterns.

Durability That Lasts Wash After Wash

A key concern for both businesses and consumers is the longevity of printed apparel. To address this, we rigorously test and use chemical-resistant films that maintain their quality through machine washing. When applied correctly, these films resist fading, cracking, and peeling. This commitment underscores our dedication to producing robust transfers that endure over time.

Choosing Between Cold Peel and Hot Peel Films

For our main DTF Transfers, we initially used the Cold Peel Transfer, which was straightforward to use. After applying the print to a T-shirt, we removed it from the heat press, set it aside to cool, and then peeled off the transfer before performing a final press on the T-shirt.

These original transfers had a noticeably plastic feel, but their quality has significantly improved over time.

The need for the transfer to fully cool meant we were handling the T-shirt multiple times, which was inefficient.

However, about six months later, the first generation of hot peel films was introduced, revolutionising our process. Many manufacturers continue to produce these transfers today. This new film allowed the transfers to cool for just a few seconds on the heat press before peeling, enabling us to immediately proceed with the final press. This advancement not only saved time but also marked a significant improvement in our production process.

Then came the introduction of True Hot Peel Film, which further accelerated our process. This film not only peels off more cleanly without disturbing the print but also offers a softer, more natural feel. Thanks to its multi-coatings, the appearance and texture of the transfers have been continuously enhanced, leading to ongoing improvements in both quality and efficiency.

It has taken considerable effort to test various films offered by different wholesalers to reach where we are today, and we have not ceased this process. We are confident that further advancements are on the horizon.

Currently, our manufacturer and supplier are continuously working to improve their film. Although we have yet to find a better supplier, there might be someone out there who achieves a significant breakthrough. By consistently testing new films as they become available, we aim to stay at the forefront of the rapid advancements in this exciting technology.

Cost-Effective Strategies for Small Print Shops

Custom DTF Transfers provide a cost-effective way for small print shops to deliver high-quality prints while managing expenses effectively. One of the primary benefits is the ability to print on demand, which minimises the need to maintain large inventories. Additionally, outsourcing the printing of these transfers allows you to allocate funds and time that would otherwise go into buying and maintaining DTF printers and related equipment.

With DTF Transfers Australia, you can order transfers as needed and apply them to various garments or substrates in line with incoming orders. This approach reduces the financial burden of unsold stock and frees up capital otherwise tied up in inventory.

Investing in high-quality transfers right from the start is a crucial strategy for saving costs in the long run. While it might be tempting to choose cheaper transfers that use lower-quality films or inks for short-term savings, this often leads to inferior results and potential print failures. Such issues can result in wasted resources and dissatisfied customers.

By opting for top-quality consumables, such as our True Hot Peel Transfers, you ensure consistent, reliable outcomes. This commitment to quality not only meets customer expectations but also fosters loyalty, encouraging them to return for more.
