How to Store DTF Print Transfer?

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Correct Position: Store DTF transfers flat to avoid bending or folding, which can cause problems during application.

  5. Expiration Date: Check for any expiration dates on the transfers and prioritize using older transfers first to ensure freshness.

  6. 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.

  7. 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:

  1. Ordering: Upload your desired design to the website, specifying size and any customization options. Unlimited color choices and high-quality images are available.

  2. Processing: Your order will be processed on the same day, with the design transferred onto high-quality film using top-notch machinery and materials.

  3. Delivery: Once the transfer process is complete, the transfers are packaged securely and delivered to you.

  4. 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.
