DTF PET Film
What is DTF PET Film?
Direct-to-Film (DTF) PET film is a crucial component in the DTF printing process. This specialized film serves as a transfer medium where designs are printed before being transferred onto various fabrics. Its unique properties allow for vibrant prints, easy handling, and reliable transfer results.
Key Benefits of DTF PET Film
- High Clarity and Transparency: DTF PET film is designed to provide excellent clarity, allowing for sharp and detailed prints that showcase the design’s quality.
- Smooth Surface: The film’s smooth surface enables even ink distribution, enhancing the vibrancy and precision of printed designs.
- Durability: PET film is strong and resistant to tearing, ensuring it can withstand the printing and transfer processes without damage.
- Heat Resistance: It can endure the high temperatures used in the heat transfer process, ensuring that prints transfer effectively without film deformation.
The DTF PET Film Process
Design Printing: The DTF printing process begins with printing the desired design onto the DTF PET film using specialized DTF inks. The clarity of the film allows for intricate details and vibrant colors.
Applying DTF Adhesive Powder: Once the design is printed, a layer of DTF adhesive hot melt powder is evenly applied over the wet ink. This step is critical as the powder will bond the printed design to the fabric during heat transfer.
Curing the Film: The printed film is cured using a heat source, which melts the adhesive powder, preparing it for the next step in the transfer process.
Heat Transfer to Fabric: The cured DTF PET film is placed on the fabric with the printed side facing down. A heat press is then used to activate the adhesive, transferring the design onto the material.
Peeling Away the Film: After cooling, the PET film is carefully peeled away, revealing the vibrant design securely adhered to the fabric.
