The double-sided matte finish of the OtterPro film ensures a non-slip surface for printing and a strong adhesion that absorbs DTF inks for high-definition and vibrant color output.

This film is also noted for its stretchability and wash-resistance, making it an excellent choice for creating long-lasting prints on a variety of fabrics. With the ability to support both bitmap and vector graphics, the OtterPro film offers great flexibility for designers and printers looking to produce intricate designs with fine details. The pre-treated, anti-static design of the film contributes to a smoother printing process, reducing the likelihood of ink smudging or static-related issues. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of glitter, create a gradient effect, or even produce designs that glow in the dark, the OtterPro film range provides multiple options to cater to creative demands. Its compatibility with different DTF printers further enhances its appeal to businesses looking to streamline their production process without the need for pretreatment steps. Overall, the OtterPro 30cm by 100m film represents a blend of durability and flexibility, enabling better conformability to various surfaces and ensuring that designs are transferred accurately during the heat transfer process.

FOR DTF PROCESS

Step 1: Print on the Film

Insert the PET film roll into your DTF printer
Print your design to you DTF printer.
Once printed be careful not to smudge the print when removing it from your printer.

Step 2: Spread the Powder

Once the film is printed with your design, you have to apply the powder while the print is still wet!
Make sure and spread the powder evenly.
Keep a tray next to the printer, sprinkle the power onto your design then seesaw back and forth until it covers the wet ink. Then CAREFULLY shake off the excess.
Any left over powder in the tray, put back into your packet for next use.

Step 3: Melt the Powder

Next step is to melt the powder.
Place the DTF film transfer in an oven for about 115C and 2-5min until the design looks rubbery or use your heat press. Just make sure you are hovering and not applying any pressure and that the top of the press isn’t in contact with the transfer at all.

Step 4: Pre-Pressing the T-Shirt

Use a lint roller to de fluff your textile and prepress your textile, any wrinkles will show up in the print and you want to get the extra moisture out so as not to affect the print quality. Cover the textile with silicone paper as to protect it from direct heat and the top of your heat press.
And maybe even more importantly it will completely dry the material. You’d be surprised how much moisture fabric can absorb from humidity in the air, and that would affect print quality.

Step 5: Applying the DTF Transfer

Once you’ve made a direct to film transfer you do not need to use it right away, so you can store for later use.
The PET film with the image and the melted powder is placed on the pre-pressed material and cover with silicone paper  in the heat press for 150/160deg for 20sec.

Step 6: Peel DTF Transfer

This film uses a HOT or COLD PEEL
If cold peel, after heat pressing onto a shirt, set it aside until the fabric and transfer are completely cooled off. If you prefer hot peel, peel immediately
Once the film is peeled peel and the design is left behind!

Step 7: Direct to Film Finishing Press

For longer longevity, press for 10 to 15 more second. Remember your silicone paper ontop.
