Pearl DTF is a full-colour print with a shifting sheen, sold as a cold-peel cut sheet. It is not a gang sheet. Cotton and most fabrics: 160°C for 8 seconds, cool completely, then peel. Polyester: 120°C for 30 seconds, cold peel, then 10 seconds at 120°C. A screen mock-up will not match the sheen. Press a test first.

DTF does not need to replace screen printing. Ready-to-press transfers can help established printers accept short runs, full-colour artwork, samples, names and specialty jobs without adding screens or operating another print line. This practical guide explains where DTF fits, where screen printing remains stronger and how to introduce it successfully.

Glow-in-the-dark DTF is a cold-peel cut sheet. Light colours charge and show in the dark. Black and navy barely glow. It is not a gang sheet and it is not safety clothing. Press cotton and most fabrics at 160°C for 8 seconds, firm, let it cool, then peel. Polyester is 120°C for 30 seconds, cold peel, then 10 seconds at 120°C. A household iron will not press it.

Press a dry shirt, at the right heat, for the right time, then peel the way that fabric requires. Cotton and most fabrics: 160°C, 8 seconds, firm, peel while hot, then 10 seconds under your own paper or Teflon. Polyester: 120°C, 30 seconds, firm, cold peel only, then 10 seconds at 120°C. A household iron is only for iron-on film. Test before you press a dozen.

A custom T-shirt transfer is a printed design on film that you press onto a shirt. For a full-colour logo on cotton, polyester, or a blend, order ready-to-press DTF and use a heat press. Vinyl suits simple cut shapes. Sublimation suits light polyester. A household iron only works on transfers labelled iron-on. We sell the film, not the shirt.
