DTF-C-PEEL – Textile marking gets a fresh look at HEXIS!
DTF (Direct To Film) is a new reverse printing technique in the style of a screen transfer. You are a consumer of screen transfers, you produce repeated markings or you are a manufacturer of transfers? Then the DTF-C-PEEL film from HEXIS is right for you.
How is DTF-C-PEEL film used?
Only 3 steps are needed to use your DTF film. First, a four-colour or single-colour mirror print and the application of a base white. Then a “reactivatable” adhesive is added in the form of hot melt powder. Finally, the DTF-C-PEEL film is passed through a drying tunnel to “fix” the whole compound.
What are the advantages of a DTF film?
The biggest advantage of this technology? Is the time savings, as there is no longer any need for weeding nor for tape to transfer your printed designs! Just as you can say goodbye to :
- screen printing frames
- tedious tasks (engraving, degreasing, cleaning)
- wasted material.
DTF-C-PEEL is a transparent polyester film that comes with a non-adhesive liner. It is used with specific water-based inks, which brings to your graphics a particularly silky touch and a retention of the colours. Its thickness (80µm) gives it a major advantage: better stability in printing long lengths furthermore also no shrinkage or shifting when passing through the drying tunnel (available in widths of 300 and 600 mm by 100m*).
Being extremely thin and flexible, the DTF-C-PEEL is recommended for easily producing small to large designs on a wide variety of materials (cotton, polyester etc.) and substrates (T-shirts, polo shirts, jackets, caps, hats etc.). Moreover, it can be used on all colours, even the lightest. Moreover, this film is ideal for high quality four-colour printing with a wide range of gradient colours and the base white is fully adjustable. Because of its good washability, DTF-C-PEEL can be used on almost all garments requiring personalisation: streetwear, sports, promotional and PPE**.
