Insta-Peel is the film we now use for standard gang sheets and cut sheets. On cotton and most fabrics, press at 140°C for 8–10 seconds and peel the carrier as soon as the press opens. On polyester, press at 120°C for 30 seconds and cold peel only, then press again for 10 seconds at 120°C. It is not a household-iron product. Iron-on DTF is a separate range.
Neon DTF is a cold-peel cut sheet in yellow, green, pink, or orange. One colour per 280 × 390 mm sheet. It does not glow and it is not a gang sheet. Cotton and most fabrics: 160°C for 8 seconds, cool, then peel. Polyester: 120°C for 30 seconds, cold peel, then 10 seconds at 120°C. A household iron will not press it.
Liquid-adhesive DTF transfers promised softer prints and a cleaner workflow. After producing and selling them, we found the pressing, production and durability tolerances too narrow for reliable ready-to-press use.
A good-looking sample is only the beginning. Explore how DTF Transfers Australia evaluates print quality, pressing tolerance, garments, washing and production reliability, with lessons from our liquid-adhesive experience.
DTF transfer adhesive is the bond between the printed design and the garment. Learn how adhesive is applied and cured, why we currently use White Fine and Black Fine adhesive, how moisture affects performance and what customers can do to achieve reliable, durable results.
Our dedicated Low Temperature DTF adhesive has been discontinued as film and transfer technology has evolved. This updated guide explains what replaced the old Low Temp Hot Peel range, how current Insta-Peel transfers can be applied to polyester, and why testing remains essential for dye migration and heat-sensitive garments.
Hot peel and cold peel are when you lift the carrier, not two different films you have to buy. On our Hot Insta Peel, cotton and most fabrics peel the moment the press opens: 140°C, 8–10 seconds, firm. Polyester is a cold peel: 120°C for 30 seconds, firm, then a 10-second second press at 120°C. Specialty finishes always peel cold. A household iron is only for iron-on film.
Ignore the 2024 DTF crystal ball. We print Hot Insta Peel in Coorparoo, neon is on sale, UV is coming soon, liquid adhesive is not sold to the public.
