Insta-Peel DTF Film: Now in Production in Australia

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.

Hot Peel or Cold Peel? How Modern DTF Film Gives You Both

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.
