Proper storage of DTF transfers is essential for maintaining their quality and longevity. Here's a guide on how to store DTF transfers correctly:
Storage Guidelines:
-
Ambient Conditions: Store DTF transfers in an environment with stable temperature and humidity levels. Room temperature and a humidity level around 50% are ideal for preserving the transfers.
-
Packaging: Use appropriate packaging such as plastic bags or vacuum bags to protect DTF transfers from light and moisture. Store them flat or rolled up to prevent damage.
-
Cool and Dry Place: Keep DTF transfers away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Storing them in a closed box or cabinet can offer additional protection from dust and other contaminants.
-
Correct Position: Store DTF transfers flat to avoid bending or folding, which can cause problems during application.
-
Expiration Date: Check for any expiration dates on the transfers and prioritize using older transfers first to ensure freshness.
-
Protection Container: Consider storing DTF transfers in a protective container to shield them from air and light exposure, which can degrade their quality over time.
-
Watch List: Keep track of when you received and started using your DTF transfers to monitor their freshness and usability.
Reusability of DTF Transfers:
DTF transfers are designed for one-time use only. Once applied to a textile product, they become permanent and cannot be reused or transferred to another surface. Attempting to remove the transfer may damage the product, so it's important to use a new DTF transfer for each print run.
Ordering and Implementation Process:
-
Ordering: Upload your desired design to the website, specifying size and any customization options. Unlimited color choices and high-quality images are available.
-
Processing: Your order will be processed on the same day, with the design transferred onto high-quality film using top-notch machinery and materials.
-
Delivery: Once the transfer process is complete, the transfers are packaged securely and delivered to you.
-
Application: To apply the DTF transfer, use medium pressure for 15 seconds at 327°F (160°C). Allow the transfer to cool for 15 seconds before removing the film, and your print is ready for use.
By following these storage guidelines and understanding the one-time use nature of DTF transfers, you can ensure optimal results and longevity for your prints.
