Setup & Usage Tips (From the Imperial DTF Tech Team)
- Keep your RIP software profiles the same — no need to change existing image configurations in Wasatch or other DTF RIP software initially
- Fully clean out your previous powder — old and new powders cure at different temperatures; a full cleanout prevents contamination
- Run test prints first — cure at 105°C (221°F) for 60 seconds in your dryer, then fine-tune for your machine
- Always wash test before full production — confirm bonding and durability before committing to a full run
Heat Press Settings
- Press at 285°F for 10 seconds with 20 lbs pressure
- Follow with a cover press for 4 seconds to lock in the finish

Instantly our transfers were softer and it seems to pick up fine detail even better than my old powder. Just wished I changed a long time ago!
Been using this for a couple months and it is the best adhesive I've used yet!
Answers not sales talk!
