12 Inch DTF Film Roll India | Premium Single Side Matte PET Film

12 inch DTF film roll India — single-side matte media for textile transfers

Our 12 inch DTF film roll India listing is for a blank single-side matte PET carrier roll used in a compatible garment-transfer printing setup. Choose this product when your production recipe requires the single-side matte grade, rather than selecting it only because another roll has a similar appearance. The PET supports the printed design through powder application and curing, then releases the design during garment application.

Specifications and selection checks

For 12 inch DTF film roll India, film thickness, core bore and packed-roll dimensions are not yet confirmed in this specification. Ask our team for the current batch measurements if your holder or machine has fixed requirements. Do not infer a 75- or 80-micron thickness from a similar supplier listing; those are distinct specifications that need confirmation for the actual stock.

Single-side matte versus dual-side matte

This listing specifies the single-side matte option. Surface treatment and release grade are separate properties: a matte appearance alone does not identify hot or cold release. Likewise, a dual-side matte film is not a promise of two printable faces. Choose the required grade for your established process and identify the ink-receiving coated surface before loading.

When changing from a different film, compare a complete transfer using representative artwork. A roll that looks similar while unused may feed or release differently in the printing line. Keep the grade and batch information with the opened roll so operators do not mix it with dual-side matte stock.

Load the correct face and keep feeding consistent

Load 12 inch DTF film roll India with the coated print face oriented correctly. Handle the edges where practical and avoid touching the working surface. Keep the leading edge square to the feed path and support the roll on a suitable holder so it unwinds without sideways drag. A standard sheet-feed machine needs a suitable roll-feed conversion or supported transport arrangement; a roll behind the printer is not enough by itself.

Set the physical width in your RIP, then allow the side margins required by the machine. The full 304.8 mm media width is not a guarantee of borderless artwork. Nest logos and larger designs within the usable area, leaving space for handling, powder removal and cutting. Calibration and setup tests also consume part of the 100-metre roll.

Confirmed standard matte working settings

Our store confirms the following standard matte procedure for 12 inch DTF film roll India. Baking the powdered transfer and pressing onto the garment are separate stages.

Test with the ink, adhesive powder and fabric you actually use. Check operating temperature rather than relying only on a display setting. Conveyor exposure depends on the heated-zone length and belt speed, so 15 seconds is not a universal speed number. Resolve any conflicting powder-curing instruction before production. These settings are not a substitute for the instructions of unrelated decorative or UV DTF media.

Print, powder, cure and transfer

1. Prepare mirrored artwork in your DTF RIP with the correct width, margins and tested colour/white-layer settings.
2. Print on the coated face and inspect a small design containing solid areas, thin lettering and open spaces.
3. Apply compatible hot-melt powder to the wet printed image and remove loose powder from the unprinted carrier.
4. Bake the adhesive using the confirmed film-and-powder procedure.
5. Position on the garment, press with the stated time, temperature and pressure, then peel at the specified stage.
6. Complete the recommended second press and inspect the finished transfer before continuing the run.

Evaluate the finished transfer

Check 12 inch DTF film roll India on the intended garment, not only as a wet image on the carrier. Look for clean lettering, even release, sound edge adhesion and open spaces free of unwanted powder. Washing and stretch depend on the garment, ink, adhesive and pressing process; test your actual combination before making performance promises.

Storage and repeat production

Protect unused film in its packaging, away from dust, moisture, direct heat and edge damage. Label opened rolls with their grade and batch. Check the supplied information for shelf life and specific storage limits; no unverified lifespan is promised here. Keep a finished sample together with your ink, powder, RIP profile and press procedure to help repeat accepted results.

Supplies and product support

Pair the film with compatible INKBANK DTF ink and hot-melt adhesive powder. See DTF cleaner for suitable printer maintenance; cleaner is not applied as a film treatment.
