DTF Transfer on Denim: How to Achieve the Perfect Print

There are many types of fabrics used in dtf prints. Since dtf provides direct printing transfer, it is easy to print on the desired fabric type. Although dtf transfer is mostly provided to cotton fabrics in the fashion sector, successful results are obtained with dtf prints that can be easily applied to many desired fabric types. The application of dtf print designs on denim fabrics also indicates a rich option in terms of fabric variety. Many steps are followed to make dtf transfer on denim fabric types. First of all, plain fabrics should be selected by paying attention to the quality of the denim. The dtf print design to be transferred is prepared after the selected denim fabric. It is important that the design is in appropriate sizes and colors during the preparation phase. Choosing colors that will be prominent on the denim fabric will make the print more vivid. It is possible to enrich the aesthetic appearance of the design by choosing colors that are compatible with the color of the denim.

The correct heat setting should be selected when the designs prepared in dtf prints are transferred to the denim fabric. The printing process is started after the ink flow control prepared after the temperature and heat press settings. In order to obtain a high-resolution print, it should be reviewed whether the settings are correct. In addition to checking the settings of the machines to be printed, the materials should also be ready. Since the fabrics placed in the machines do not move, this will affect the printing process, and the machines are used correctly. While high pressure is preferred in the transfer of dtf prints, the print is left to dry with a cooling process after the transfer. Successful dtf transfer is achieved when the prints, whose final processes are completed, are checked.

Things to Consider When Transferring Dtf to Denim Fabrics

There are many elements to consider when transferring dtf prints to denim fabrics. First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the colors in the appropriate design preparation by selecting the fabric color to be printed. Choosing dark colored designs or digital colored designs to be used prominently in light denim colors provides a striking dimension on denim. Similarly, in dark colored fabric, a design print can be created based on light colors and equipped with striking and distinct colors. Since the color and fabric combination is the first striking feature, it is important to pay attention. The size of the design should not be too large or too small compared to the fabric. It is possible to obtain an eye-catching result by paying attention to appropriate sizing and scaling.

The Final Stage of the Raid

It is necessary to pay attention to determining the appropriate heat setting in printing. Heating and cooling processes are the elements that reveal the flawlessness of the print. If the print melts or too much heat is applied, it is not possible to correct the print appearance. Therefore, giving the appropriate heat setting and applying the right heat setting to every part of the print makes the print permanent.

 There is no deterioration in the quality of prints with high resolution. For this, it is important to choose the resolution settings and place the fabric in the machine properly. In order to ensure that the successfully completed prints are long-lasting, appropriate washing conditions must be provided. Washing instruction information should be printed on the products as labels to inform buyers. Since there is no deterioration or cracking problem on the prints thanks to compliance with the correct washing instructions, complying with the washing instructions ensures having long-lasting prints.
