PRINTING AND PRESSING
4.
The ink is still wet after printing. You must now apply DTF powder which will stick to the lm over
the wet ink.
Remember to shake the lm vigorously to remove the excess powder stuck to parts of the sheet with no
ink. If you don’t, it will show on the fabric when pressing on dark garments.
After applying the powder, you must cure it with a heat press, leaving a space of about 5cm between the
platen and the lm. You can also cure it with an oven or a heat gun.
Depending on whether you will apply it immediately or store it for later, you should use dierent
time and temperature settings.
After curing the powder, you may proceed to its application on the garment. Depending on the
type of fabric, you will have to choose dierent time or temperature settings. The pressure of
your press should be medium-heavy, about 3-4 bars, and the lm must be peeled o cold in a slow
but steady movement.
Time and temperature settings are provided for guidance only. To achieve an optimal workow,
we recommend that you conduct your own tests.
