PRINTS: DTF, UVDTF & Sublimation

Instructions for applying UVDTF transfers

Please familiarize yourself before beginning the application - Shamrock Wholesale Blanks will not be held responsible for incorrectly applied UVDTF Prints

• Step 1
  Thoroughly clean the surface you will be applying your UVDTF transfer - Do not use alcohol to clean the surface.

• Step 2

  Before removing the backing paper, using a squeegee and a small amount of pressure, rub over both sides of your UVDTF to ensure that the design has been properly transferred to the B film. 

• Step 3
  Slowly begin to peel the B film away from the backing paper whilst taking care to make sure that the design has transferred to the B film fully. 

• Step 4
  Carefully place the design onto the prepped surface ensuring that it is positioned correctly as you will not be able to remove once it has adhered to any surface at all

• Step 5

  Rub over the surface of your UVDTF with a squeegee or sponge to ensure that the design has transferred to the prepped surface sufficiently. Work from the centre outwards to remove any unwanted air bubbles- do not crease the print

• Step 6 
  Slowly peel back the B film to reveal the final design - taking care with the edges

Please note: UVDTF is best suited for flat surfaces- the smaller the print the easier the application

Note: We recommend hand washing only

Tips for applying UVDTF to eggs:

Please familiarize yourself before beginning the application - Shamrock Wholesale Blanks will not be held responsible for incorrectly applied UVDTF Prints

• Peal the UVDTF from the backing paper and use a hairdryer to heat the film- this softens the film and makes it easier to work with.
• Place the UVDTF low, towards the middle of the egg.
• Full round designs have a tendency to crease if too big-ie Spiderman #5 design- Smaller UVDTFs work better in this shape (8cm)
• Separate any elements of the UVDTF that you can and apply separately if possible for example the Mini Eggs design
• Trim close to the UVDTF
• Apply from the center of the UVDTF and use a squeegee to push out towards the edges to remove air bubbles
• Use a wiggling/zig zag motion to remove the transfer paper, taking care of the edges/small details
• Remember- once the UVDTF is applied to a surface it cannot be removed or repositioned - do not try to lift once it has adhered at all as it will rip.
