A transfer application technique where the carrier film is peeled away from the garment after the transfer has fully cooled to room temperature. Cold peel typically produces a matte finish and better adhesion on textured fabrics. Most DTF transfers are designed for cold peel application.
A transfer application method where the carrier film is peeled immediately after pressing while the transfer is still hot. Hot peel produces a slightly glossy finish and works well for smooth, flat designs. Not all DTF films support hot peel — check manufacturer specifications.
