Substrate Compatibility
Can I Use Fauxbroidery Transfers on Neoprene?
Fauxbroidery on neoprene is not recommended. The foam construction of neoprene compresses unpredictably under press pressure, preventing uniform puff layer activation, and the soft surface provides weak adhesion for the dimensional transfer.
Why This Combination Does Not Work
Neoprene's foam compression makes uniform puff layer activation impossible.
Use This Instead
Standard DTF is the more reliable heat-transfer option for neoprene. UV DTF is also a viable alternative for flat neoprene panels where dimensional decoration is needed.
