Step 1
Clean the Surface
Start with a smooth, dry, oil-free surface for the strongest bond.

UV DTF is a pressure-applied transfer made for hard, smooth surfaces. It does not require a heat press and is commonly used on glass, acrylic, metal, coated plastics, tumblers, packaging, and similar products.
No. UV DTF is applied with pressure rather than heat. Clean the surface, position the transfer, press and burnish it firmly, then peel the carrier film.
Smooth, non-porous surfaces generally work best, including glass, acrylic, stainless steel, coated metal, many plastics, and rigid packaging. Always test unusual coatings first.
Yes. You can build a UV DTF gang sheet, upload a completed gang sheet, or order individual transfers by size.
High-resolution transparent PNG files work well for raster art, while vector artwork is ideal for maximum sharpness. Keep fine details large enough for reliable printing and transfer.
UV DTF transfers are designed for durable use on hard surfaces, but long-term performance depends on the substrate, coating, cleaning method, and exposure. Avoid claiming dishwasher safety unless that specific product has been tested for it.
