How to Properly Store DTF Transfers for Long-Term Use
DTF transfers are extremely sensitive to storage conditions, especially moisture. If transfers are left exposed to air and absorb moisture, it can affect the quality of the final transfer, as moisture marks can appear during pressing. To avoid such problems, it is important to store transfers properly. Below are our recommendations for storing transfers:
Store in a dry place
DTF transfers should be kept in a room with low humidity, ideally in airtight bags or containers. Investing in humidity control, such as silica gel packets, can further help protect the transfers.
Avoid exposure to air
If transfers are left out for extended periods, there is a higher risk of them absorbing moisture from the air. It is recommended to return transfers to their protective packaging immediately after use.
Optimal temperature
Keep transfers at room temperature, away from heat sources or extreme cold, as such conditions can also affect their quality.
What to do if transfers absorb moisture:
If the transfers have absorbed moisture, moisture marks may remain after the first pressing. In that case, you can press them again using: baking paper, wax paper, or a Teflon sheet.
This additional pressing will help remove excess moisture and restore the smooth look of the print. With proper storage and these techniques, you ensure that your DTF transfers retain optimal quality and durability even after longer storage periods.
