Ultranex DTF Inkjet Film’s inkjet ink receptive coating layer have been developed for optimum ink absorption, as soon as the inkjet ink drop lands on it, Ink will dry rapidly.
Trouble free powder application
Coating and back side of Ultranex DTF film both have antistatic properties, Mainly powder sticking issue with reference to film is due to static generation in the film.
High temperature stability
While drying labels after thermo powder application, Film will remain dimensionally stable or will still not lose it’s lay flat property. PET film used has high temperature stability upto 180°C for 10 Minutes.
Colour Vibrancy of the image will be at its optimum
Ultranex DTF Printing film will open up the Inkjet inks optimum levels of colour brightness. Its not just ink, Yes film coating will also affect the colour vibrancy according to Coating thickness, Its PH value & Additives used.

Soft Feel to Transfers
Ultranex DTF Inkjet Films are made with 2 layer technology 1st is the release layer and 2nd is the inkjet in receptive layer. Ink receptive layer after printing and drying becomes part of Ink / label and transfers with the label on the garment.
In Ultranex DTF Film Ink receptive layer is of low hardness to give a soft and smooth feel to transfers.
So even if the inks are soft if the ink receptive layer is not good it will give a thick and hard finish to the transfers.

Ultranex DTF Heat Release Film adds to the wash fastness of the DTF image on the garment, As the inkjet ink receptive layer will act as scratch resistance layer.
Again ink is always been made responsible to wash fastness & it is but If inkjet ink receptive layer is not friendly with the ink composition or of low quality it will affect wash stability of DTF label on the garment.

Transfers can be applied from 160°C to 180°C for 30 to 15 seconds with 2 to 4 bars pressure.
With certain type of design hot peel is not applicable, but we recommend warm to cold peel to get best results.
Note: In case oily stains are found on surface of transferred labels, wipe it with a damp cloth & balance labels should be dried again for 1 to 3 minutes @ 160°C before transfer so any access moisture gets removed.
Special Benefits:

In drying process, we recommend powder shaker set temperature 110°C to 130°C (158°F to 212°F) for 7 to 4
Minutes. For best results shaker should have medium wave IR lamp. (Please Note: Each shaker needs different
temperature settings, (Focus on the surface temperature of film it should reach 140°C to 160°C (284°F to 320°F).
Transfers should be applied from 130°C to 160°C (320°F to 284°F) for 20 to 6 seconds with 2 to 4 bars Pneumatic
pressure. If the heat press is manual ensure Medium to High pressure across all the corners of bed.
