Why does DTF dominate marking on polyester?

✨ No pretreatment

Unlike DTG, DTF does not require any chemical undercoat, thus preserving the texture of the synthetic.

🎨 Vibrant colors

Even on dark polyester, white remains opaque and colors are displayed with photographic fidelity.

💪 Flexibility

The transfer follows the movement of the fabric without cracking, ideal for sports jerseys and stretch items.

🌡 Pressing Settings: Special Polyester

Polyester is sensitive to heat. Precise temperature control is essential to avoid freezing or marking the fabric.

Temperature 130°C - 140°C

💬 Special Polyester FAQ

Why lower the temperature compared to cotton?
Polyester melts at high temperatures. Pressing at too high a temperature (above 150°C) can leave a permanent shiny mark (luster) on your garment.
How to manage color migration?
On some dyed polyester fabrics (e.g., red or blue football jerseys), the pigments from the fabric can bleed into the white transfer. Using an anti-sublimation adhesive powder or low-temperature pressing reduces this risk.
