Why Film Choice Drives Your Print Quality

DTF PET film is the carrier that holds your printed design before it transfers to fabric. Pick the wrong peel type or format and you get cracked prints, slow workflows, or wasted sheets. This guide breaks down the two decisions every wholesale buyer faces.

Cold Peel vs Hot Peel

• Cold peel: wait for the film to cool, then peel. Gives a softer hand-feel and sharper detail — preferred for premium garments and small logos.
• Hot peel: peel immediately after pressing. Faster turnaround for high-volume shops; slightly firmer finish. Great for bulk orders where speed matters.

Confirm which your workflow uses before ordering — mixing them mid-run causes inconsistent washes.

Roll vs Sheet (A3 / A4)

• Rolls (30cm / 60cm x 100m): for automated DTF printers and continuous production. Lower cost per meter.
• Sheets (A3 / A4, 25–100 pcs): for manual presses, samples, and short custom runs. Easier inventory for mixed designs.

What to Check on Arrival

• Coating uniformity — uneven coating causes ink rejection.
• Edge nicks — they jam the feed on roll printers.
• Anti-static property — reduces powder clumping.
