This Application Guide provides process-oriented references for applying MAXDTF consumables.
It is intended to support technical evaluation and expectation alignment, rather than serve as a beginner tutorial.
Printing
Ink laydown and image transfer behavior during printing.
Printing performance is influenced by ink formulation, printer configuration, and film surface characteristics.
This reference focuses on general printing behavior to help evaluate image clarity, ink adhesion, and transfer readiness before powder application.
Key considerations
- Ink laydown stability
- Image clarity and edge definition
- White ink coverage behavior
- Film surface interaction
Powdering
Adhesive powder application and bonding preparation.
Powdering plays a critical role in transfer adhesion.
This section outlines general powder application behavior to support bonding consistency across different production conditions.
Key considerations
- Powder coverage uniformity
- Adhesion balance
- Excess powder removal behavior
- Compatibility with film surface and ink layer
Curing
Stabilizing the ink and powder layer before transfer.
Curing ensures proper bonding readiness by activating adhesive powder while maintaining image integrity.
This reference focuses on curing stability rather than specific temperature or time values.
Key considerations
- Powder melt consistency
- Ink layer stability
- Surface integrity after curing
- Avoidance of over- or under-curing risks
Heat Press
Transfer bonding and final adhesion to fabric.
Heat pressing completes the transfer process by bonding the cured ink and adhesive layer to the garment.
This section provides general bonding considerations to support consistent transfer results across fabric types.
Key considerations
- Adhesion behavior after pressing
- Edge definition and stretch response
- Peel characteristics (hot, cold, instant peel where applicable)
- Fabric compatibility considerations
Washing Durability
Evaluating durability after application.
Washing durability reflects the combined effect of printing, powdering, curing, and heat pressing.
This reference focuses on durability trends rather than isolated test outcomes.
Key considerations
- Adhesion stability after washing
- Color retention behavior
- Edge integrity
- Normal wear and wash conditions
Important Notes
Application results may vary depending on printer configuration, fabric type, environmental conditions, and production workflow.
This guide provides general reference information and does not replace internal testing or process validation.
Users are encouraged to conduct appropriate testing under their own production conditions before large-scale use.
