Frequently Asked Questions

Are extended-gamut ink sets worth it for DTF?

Extended-gamut ink sets, which add extra channels like orange, green, or red, allow for neon hues and specific Pantone colors that are difficult to achieve with standard CMYK. However, their performance varies significantly by manufacturer, and it is highly recommended that you test samples before deciding if the extra cost and complexity are justified for your specific production needs.

Why is cleaning a surface with isopropyl alcohol critical for UV DTF?

A clean surface is essential for successful UV DTF application because any oils, dust, or fingerprints on the substrate can prevent the pressure-sensitive adhesive from bonding correctly. Using isopropyl alcohol ensures the surface is completely free of contaminants, which maximizes long-term adhesion and prevents premature peeling or lifting of the design.

Are items decorated with UV DTF dishwasher safe?

No, UV DTF transfers are not dishwasher safe. To maximize the longevity of your custom items, hand-washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is strongly recommended, as the high heat and abrasive detergents found in dishwashers can cause the edges of the transfer to lift or peel over time.

What is dye migration, and how can I prevent it when printing on polyester?

Dye migration occurs when high heat causes the garment's dye to turn into a gas, which then bleeds into the white areas of your DTF transfer. To prevent this, you should use lower heat press settings and utilize specialized low-migration films designed to handle synthetic fabrics safely.
