DTF Transfer Powder FAQ

What is the difference between white and black DTF powder?
White powder is the industry standard for most transfers. However, Fine DTF Powder in Black is specifically engineered for dark polyester and athletic garments to provide a more opaque base and superior dye-migration resistance.

How do I store DTF adhesive powder to prevent clumping?
Because DTF Heat Transfer Powder is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture), it should be stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Moisture absorption can lead to uneven melting and poor wash-fastness.

Which DTF powder is best for high-stretch fabrics?
DTF Station Color Prime Flex DTF Powder is designed for sportswear, performance apparel, and stretchy fabrics. Its polyurethane formulation provides enhanced stretchability and a soft hand feel, helping transfers move with the garment.
