Troubleshooting DTF Peeling and Transfer Release
Should I peel earlier whenever a transfer sticks?
When a DTF transfer releases poorly, first verify the film’s peel instructions and the recorded pressing process. Separate a release issue from a garment adhesion issue.
Describe the failure precisely Photograph whether ink remains on the film, a design lifts from the garment or fine details break away. Note when the failure appears and whether it affects the entire sheet or only selected areas. Record the film lot and the actual garment used.
Change one variable per trial Repeat the supplier’s approved process with a fresh, identified sample. Check press consistency and avoid treating a display reading as proof of conditions across the platen. If release improves, repeat the trial before approving production. Preserve failed samples to support diagnosis.
