Wash Fastness
The resistance of a DTF transfer to color change or fading during washing. High wash fastness means the print maintains its colors after many wash cycles. Measured on a 1-5 scale in industrial testing, with 5 being the most resistant.
Process & Techniques
Cold Peel
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.
