How to Use

1. Design and RIP: Prepare your full-color design using the UNINET DTF ProRIP software, managing white ink layers and print settings.
2. Print: Load the transfer film roll and send the job. The DTF 1200 prints the color layer and the white backing layer directly onto the film.
3. Powder and Cure: Apply DTF adhesive powder to the wet ink (manually or via an automated shaker like the DTF 14), then cure the film using a heat station or curing oven.
4. Press: Use a standard heat press to transfer the final, vibrant design onto your garment (cotton, poly, denim, etc.) in seconds.
