What is Gold Foil DTF Printing?
Gold Foil DTF printing is a unique technique that allows you to add a metallic finish to your designs. This method uses a special foil film that, when applied correctly, results in prints that are:
- Shiny and Sharp: The gold foil adds a brilliant sheen to your artwork.
- High Stretchability: The prints can stretch without losing their quality.
- Washable: Even after regular wear and washing, the prints remain intact.
- Soft Hand Feel: Comfortable to wear, making it ideal for apparel.
Step-by-Step Guide to Gold Foil DTF Printing
Step 1: Prepare Your Artwork
- Design in White: Ensure your artwork is in white. Avoid full color or black designs.
- Use DigiRip Software: Import your artwork into DigiRip for sizing and adjustments.
Step 2: Print Your Design
- Print in White Ink: Use regular white ink to print your design on the back of the foil film.
- Production Ready: You can run full production using your existing printer and ink.
Step 3: Powder and Cure
- Manual Powdering: For single shirt prints, powder by hand.
- Cure in Oven: Use a single print oven to cure the design, looking for a rubbery, glazed finish.
Step 4: Align and Press
- Cut and Align: Cut the film close to the artwork for easier alignment on the shirt.
- Use a T-Square: Helps in aligning the design accurately.
- Press with Cover Sheet: Press for 14 seconds at 280 degrees using a cover sheet.
Step 5: Cold Peel and Second Press
- Cold Peel: Allow the film to cool before peeling.
- Second Press: Press again to clean up edges and ensure full adhesion.
Step 6: Clean Up
- Edge Cleaning: Use a wadded-up t-shirt to clean the edges.
- Final Touch: Ensure the edges are clear and the print is perfect.
