Questions & Answers

What is the benefit of using Black DTF Hot Melt Powder instead of White?

Black DTF powder is specifically formulated for printing on dark or black garments. It prevents the white ink base from shifting or "bleeding" through the fibers of the fabric after pressing, which can cause a graying effect (known as dye migration). Utilizing black powder ensures your dark apparel prints remain deep, rich, and visually striking.

Which fabrics are compatible with ColorPrime Hot Melt Powder?

This premium adhesive powder offers excellent, versatile fabric compatibility. It provides high-quality adhesion and a durable stretch finish on a wide variety of materials, including:

  • 100% Cotton
  • Polyester and Poly-Blends
  • Nylon
  • Rayon and Synthetic fabrics

Can I pick up DTF Station ColorPrime Powder locally in St. Louis or Atlanta?

Yes! Local print shops can save on shipping by utilizing same-day curbside or in-store pickup. Orders are usually ready in 1 hour at either of our main regional hubs:

  • St. Louis, MO (HQ): Located at 5110 Penrose Street, Saint Louis, MO 63115.
  • Atlanta / Marietta, GA: Located at 1147 Cobb Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30066.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling DTF powder?

Because DTF hot melt powder consists of fine TPU (polyurethane) particles, safety-focused handling is highly recommended. Always wear protective gear—including a dust mask/respirator and protective gloves—to avoid skin irritation, eye contact, or inhalation during the powdering and curing process. Utilizing an enclosed powder shaker or a proper ventilation system is ideal.

How long does a 2.2lb (1 kg) bag of DTF Station Hot Melt Powder last?

A 2.2lb bag is perfect for small-scale to mid-sized production runs. Depending on your printer's width, graphic density, and whether you recycle your excess powder during the application process, a 1 kg bag can typically coat hundreds of standard-sized transfer sheets.

Why Choose ColorPrime Adhesive Powder?

Pro Tip for Print Shops: Evenly coating your DTF media reduces production errors and enhances overall shop efficiency. Pair this powder with a reliable curing oven or automatic shaker to ensure a consistent, retail-ready finish that holds up beautifully in the wash.

  • DESCRIPTION

DTF Station ColorPrime Hot Melt Powder (Black) is a premium thermoplastic adhesive powder engineered for direct-to-film (DTF) printing on dark and bleed-prone fabrics. The black formulation helps improve color depth on deep tones and reduces visible dye migration, making it ideal for custom t‑shirts, hoodies, athletic wear, and other dark apparel.

Designed for professional production environments, ColorPrime Black delivers strong adhesion, excellent stretch, and a comfortable hand feel when properly cured. It evenly coats DTF film and printed areas, helping you produce durable, crack‑resistant transfers that stand up to repeated washing without sacrificing flexibility or color vibrancy.

This 2.2 lb (1 kg) bag is a practical size for small and mid‑volume shops that want consistent, repeatable results on cotton, polyester, nylon, and blended garments, especially when working with dark substrates or camo patterns that tend to bleed.
