DTF Powder for Printing

DTF powder is a special adhesive powder used in DTF printing process. After printing your pattern on PET film with DTF printer, evenly cover the PET film with this powder, the powder will adhere to the wet ink, DTF transfer powder will melt after heat pressing, and bond the pattern to the garment or substrate, turning your printed film into a durable, washable fabric print.

Primary Uses of DTF Powder

• Adhesion: It serves to be the "glue" that holds the ink from the film onto the material when it is subjected to the heat transfer process.
• Durability: Prints obtained using good quality powder are durable and can resist several washings without peeling.
• Widely applicable: DTF powder can be used on all kinds of fabric and can be applied to almost all fabrics.

Understanding that DTF Powder is not something secondary but a very critical component is the first step to having your DTF print process streamlined.

Characteristics of Quality DTF Powder

Excellent Adhesion: Effectively holds patterns on a wide range of materials such as cotton, polyester, and leather.

Excellent Compatibility: Compatible with several printers and heat presses that enable easy compatibility with existing equipment.

Delicate Grains: Uniform and delicate grains allow for smoother pattern transfers.

Smooth and Fine Grains: Smooth and fine grains provide smoother transfers of designs.

Toxic-Free and Green: Harmful chemical-free, safe to use, and comply with environmental regulations.

Good Durability: Transferred patterns should have great abrasion and wash resistance, and not be prone to fading easily.

High Heat Resistance: Stable under hot temperatures without losing their strength and decomposing.

Storage & Handling Best Practices

To get the most out of your DTF powder, it's imperative to store it properly as proper printing. Always keep your powder fully contained in airtight containers (sealed glass jars, rigid plastic tubs, or resealable Mylar bags) to prevent moisture, dust, and other contaminants from ruining its performance. Store DTF powder in a dry, cool area, away from sun exposure, and abrupt temperatures.

When DTF powder is opened, it will have a shelf life of six months or less. It's recommended you handle DTF powder quickly before the shelf-life decreases and the powder's performance declines for strong adhesion, vibrant, long-lasting prints. Utilizing these storage recommendations will go a long way to keep your powder in great condition, as well as to reduce waste and mistakes in printing, all of which helps give you consistently professional results.
