Good to know

Permanent marking

UV DTF markings have very strong adhesive power, making them very difficult to remove and impossible to reposition.

Durability

Before washing or applying your UV DTF markings under stress, we advise you to wait 24 to 48 hours.

Cold peeling

The peel time of DTF UV film depends on the material to which the marking is applied. It can vary from a few seconds to several tens of minutes. The longer you wait, the more the glue will stick.
