In the world of DTF (Direct to Film) printing, achieving a flawless finish is just as important as the design itself. The right fiberglass finishing sheet can elevate your prints by providing a soft touch, improving durability, and giving your garments a professional, polished appearance. In this blog, we’ll guide you through choosing the ideal fiberglass sheet and explain how it enhances your printing process.
The 3 Types of Texturizing Fiberglass Sheets
- Light Texturizing Fiberglass Sheet
- Adds subtle texture for a smooth finish.
- Best for delicate or minimalistic designs where less texturing is needed.
- Heavy Texturizing Fiberglass Sheet
- Creates a pronounced texture while softening the hand feel.
- Ideal for bold designs requiring a durable yet soft finish.
- Ultra Texturizing Fiberglass Sheet
- Provides maximum texture and removes all gloss and sheen.
- Perfect for prints on darker fabrics where shine can be distracting.
Why Choose Fiberglass Sheets for DTF Printing?
1. Enhance Texture and Feel
Texturizing sheets improve the tactile quality of your prints, giving them a soft-hand feel that customers will love. The added texture also makes designs look more professional and less glossy.
2. High-Quality PTFE Coating
Our fiberglass sheets are coated with PTFE, making them:
- Non-stick: Prevents adhesion of inks or powders.
- Heat-resistant: Handles high temperatures effortlessly.
- Chemical-resistant: Long-lasting even with regular use.
3. Durable and Reusable
Each sheet can be reused over 5,000+ times, making it a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice for your business.
Specifications That Make a Difference
- Size: 23.5" x 16" – Generous coverage for any standard heat press platen.
- Convenient Design: Lockable with magnets to save time during repeated presses.
- Matte Finish: Achieves a sleek, professional look on all garments.
How to Use Fiberglass Sheets
- Initial Press
- Transfer your design onto the fabric as usual using your heat press.
- Second Press with Texturizing Sheet
- Place the Texturizing Fiberglass Sheet over the design and press for 5 to 10 seconds.
- This step enhances texture, reduces shine, and improves durability.
Pro Tip:
Lock your fiberglass finishing sheet onto the heat press using magnets. This ensures you can use the same sheet for the first press, peel, and finishing press without removing it. It saves time and protects your equipment.
