See it flash
Quiet in the room. Rainbow in the flash.
In everyday light the print reads soft and subtle. Hit it with a camera flash or direct light and it throws rainbow color straight back. Move the light and the colors travel with it.
Flash head on. Rainbow straight back.
Simulated on screen. In person, the rainbow shows under direct light and camera flash and shifts with the angle.
How it flashes
Light goes in. Rainbow comes back.
Your design prints on rainbow reflective DTF film. In everyday light it reads soft and subtle. When direct light hits it, the reflective layer sends that light straight back as rainbow color, so the flash lands right where the camera or the headlights are. Each sheet prints on one rainbow reflective film.

Pressing
Keep it in range. Peel it cold.
Rainbow reflective presses like the specialty films: a heat press, medium to firm pressure and a cold peel. Stay in range and the flash stays bright.
Start at 310°F for 12 seconds with medium to firm pressure.
- 01 Press at 310°F 12 seconds, medium to firm pressure. Heat press only.
- 02 Let it cool fully Hands off until it is cool to the touch. Thick prints can take a few minutes.
- 03 Peel cold Pull the film back low over itself in one smooth motion.
- 04 Seal under Teflon Optional: press 5 to 10 seconds under a Teflon sheet for extra finish.
- Stay in range. Overpressing dulls the reflection, so keep the heat at 300 to 320°F.
- Heat press only. Even heat and real pressure bond the reflective layer. Household irons heat unevenly.
- Skip softener and bleach. Both dull the reflective layer.
Works onCotton, blends and polyester. Settings vary by press, so press a test piece first.

Rock n Roll PhotographerSo initially I ordered a small batch to see the quality. I was very impressed with the image transfer especially since it was one of my photos. Some companies don’t give a clear image. This one was very very clear. And looks great! I’ll be back for sure.

Best quality with on-time DeliveryI've been using DTF for my transfer artwork over a year now. Very happy with the service.
DaisyVerified DTFSheet customer -
Great!Great service, super quick, and I like the quality. I wish DTF in general were a little more like screen printing. The plastic feeling is less desirable in my opinion, but it is what it is.

Absolutely Perfect!I’m a cosplayer who needed a specific design printed on a DTF transfer, and at first I went to a different website with terrible results, but DTFSheet.com got everything correct the first time! The colors, sizing, and quality are outstanding, and although I haven’t applied this to my project yet, I’m already extremely happy with the transfer just based on...

Rainbow FAQ
Good questions, straight answers.
What is rainbow reflective DTF?
A direct to film transfer printed on rainbow reflective DTF film. In everyday light it reads soft and subtle. Under headlights, direct light or a camera flash, the reflective layer flashes rainbow color back toward the light. You press it on with a heat press.
What does it look like in normal light?
Soft and subtle, with a slightly silver look. The rainbow shows when direct light hits it, like a camera flash or headlights.
Why does it flash in photos?
The reflective layer sends light back toward where it came from. A camera flash sits right next to the lens, so the photo catches the rainbow flash.
How is rainbow different from silver reflective?
Both flash back under direct light. Silver flashes bright silver, rainbow flashes color. Choose silver for a clean, bright flash and rainbow when you want every photo to pop with color.
Is it hi-vis safety gear?
Rainbow reflective is a style finish. For certified hi-vis, pair it with rated safety gear.
Which designs flash best?
Bold designs, open letters and solid shapes. Light art reflects the most, so use dark fills for outlines and contrast and let the light areas carry the flash.
What fabrics does it work on?
Cotton, poly blends and polyester. Press a test piece first on water-repellent, silicone or coated fabrics, very stretchy Lycra and neon garments.
Can I mix rainbow and standard designs on one sheet?
Each sheet prints on one film, so every design on a rainbow reflective sheet comes out rainbow reflective. Put the designs you want to flash on a rainbow sheet and the rest on a standard sheet.
How do I press it?
Use a heat press at 310°F for 12 seconds with medium to firm pressure. Let it cool fully, which can take a few minutes on thick prints, then peel cold. For extra finish, press again for 5 to 10 seconds under a Teflon sheet. Settings vary by press, so test one piece first.
What keeps the flash bright?
Stay in the 300 to 320°F range, keep the art bold and light, and wash without softener or bleach. Overpressing, heavy ink coverage and softener all dull the reflective layer.
Can I use a household iron?
Use a heat press for rainbow reflective. It gives the even heat and real pressure the reflective layer needs to bond.
How do I wash it?
Wait 24 hours before the first wash. Turn it inside out, wash cold with mild detergent, skip bleach and fabric softener, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Hang drying gives the longest life.
What if my file has an issue?
Every file is checked by a person before it prints. If we see low quality or sizing issues, we pause production and contact you. If the quality isn't perfect, we reprint it.
