[@redouanebbkr]

Thank you for the informations, I wonder if you can use the film twice, I mean the transfer paper can you use it again?

[@bestsubtv]

Hi, we can't use the film twice. Because the DTF film is coated on one side and glossy on the other, after the film has been used, it becomes glossy on both sides and cannot be inked.

[@nuedgelawnsllc103]

Why is it necessary to use the powder? Can this be done without the powder? Thanks

[@bestsubtv]

The powder helps to absorb any excess moisture from the ink, which helps to prevent smudging or smearing during the heat transfer process. So, to improve the quality and durability of the printed image on the film, the powder is necessary to use in the DTF printing process.

[@rufatshahbazov1326]

I didn`t get the printing part. How it prints backside white while it prints front side colored?

[@bestsubtv]

Hi, the DTF process is to print on a film and directly transfer onto fabric. Spread powder is necessary because it improves contrast and sharpness, making for better prints in general. You must apply the hot-melt powder while the DTF transfer is still wet. So the backside is white.

Hello I love your video but I have a question. When ever you do the print out why does it look white on the back side?
