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

Available Sizes & Pricing

  • 1 kg (~2.2 lbs) — $31.50
  • 5 kg (~11 lbs) — $152.78
  • 10 kg (~22 lbs) — $283.50
