No More Powder-Sticking
FIREBIRD Ink recognizes the necessity of immaculate, sharp images. That's why our DTF sheets are meticulously designed to prevent powder-sticking. Cast away worries about unwanted powder residues that tamper with your image quality. Our DTF sheets ensure a clean, precise transfer, upholding the integrity of your designs and keeping the spotlight on your striking images.
Print onto DTF Transfer Film
- Load the transfer sheet onto printer-platen, with the matte side facing up. Tip: Always handle film by edges or corners.
- Print according to ink manufacturer's recommendations, or rip profile settings.
- Remove from platen and prepare for powder application.
- If recommended by your ink manufacturer, let the ink sit for at least 1 minute or hover press for 15 seconds, before adding powder.
Apply DTF Powder
- Add powder evenly across one end of the printed side of the film.
- Lift and allow powder to slowly and evenly slide across the entire sheet.
- Gently shake and tap the film from the back, to remove any excess powder.
Note: Our films release the excess powder very easily, so you don't have to shake the film excessively.
Cure Powder onto Printed Film
- Cure according to your powder manufacturer's instructions.
-
If using FIREBIRD DTF Powder, cure at 300°F for 60-90 seconds on an IR conveyor, or use a heat-press to hover-cure for 4-5 minutes at 340°F.
Apply Finished DTF Transfer to Garment
-
Place cured film with printed-side down onto your garment.
- Heat-press the film onto garment as follows:
- 100% Cotton or Cotton-Blend: Light to medium pressure for 8-10 seconds at 300-320°F.
-
100% Polyester: Light to medium pressure for 10-15 seconds at 280°F.
- Optional: Press again for 5-10 seconds with teflon or parchment sheet cover.
- Remove garment from heat-press platen.
- Allow transfer to slightly cool down before peeling film, or let sit for cold-peel application.
Note: For long-term storage of finished DTF Transfer sheets, it is best to keep them away from heat and humidity.
