To know

Permanent marking

UV DTF markings have very strong adhesive power and will be very difficult to remove and impossible to reposition.

Durability

Before washing or putting your DTF UV transfers under stress, we recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours.

Cold peel

The duration of UV DTF film peeling depends on the material on which the marking is applied. It can vary from a few seconds to several tens of minutes. The longer you wait, the better the adhesive will bond.
