UV Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers are the latest innovation in customization.

• These transfers are designed for hard surfaces like tumblers and shot glasses. They're incredibly easy to apply, acting like stickers with a pre-applied carrier sheet – no heat required!
• Our DTF transfers feature a white backing layer, visible in our product listings. This ensures vibrant colors on any surface. Each transfer delivers a high-quality, long-lasting design that withstands multiple washes. For optimal results, hand washing is recommended.
• We print your images exactly as submitted, so image quality directly impacts transfer quality. Small text or low-resolution images may result in poor ink adhesion. We cannot be held responsible for file issues but offer test prints to preview results before full orders.
• By uploading a file, you confirm ownership of the design and agree to hold us harmless for any copyright or trademark infringements. We reserve the right to refuse any order.

Application Instructions:

• Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. For porous surfaces like wood or metal, consider a light sanding or degreasing for optimal adhesion.
• Transfer Alignment: Carefully position the transfer on the desired area. You may use transfer tape or masking tape for precise placement, especially on curved surfaces.
• Squeegee Application: Apply firm, even pressure using a squeegee or credit card to remove air bubbles and ensure complete adhesion. Work from the center outward to prevent wrinkles.
• Carrier Sheet Removal: Gently peel off the carrier sheet at a slow, steady pace to avoid damaging the transfer.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Wrinkles or Bubbles: If wrinkles or bubbles appear, lift a corner of the transfer, reapply pressure, and smooth out the area.
• Incomplete Adhesion: If parts of the transfer are not sticking, reapply pressure or use a heat gun on low heat to slightly warm the adhesive.
• Transfer Curling: To prevent curling, apply firm pressure to the edges of the transfer.

Surface Compatibility:

• Hard Surfaces: Tumblers, shot glasses, phone cases, and other smooth surfaces are ideal for DTF transfers.
• Textiles: While DTF transfers are primarily designed for hard surfaces, they can be applied to some textiles with special adhesives or heat pressing.
• Other Surfaces: Experimentation is key when applying DTF transfers to unusual surfaces. Adhesion may vary.

Care Instructions:

• Hand washing is recommended for the longest-lasting results.
• Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.
• For dishwasher-safe items, test a small area first to ensure the transfer holds up.

By following these guidelines, you can achieve professional-looking results with your UV DTF transfers.
