Substrate Compatibility
Can I Use Fauxbroidery Transfers on Silk?
Fauxbroidery transfers are not recommended for silk. The puff layer requires adequate heat and pressure that silk cannot tolerate without permanent fiber damage. The risk of scorching, press marks, and sheen loss is too high for production use.
Why This Combination Does Not Work
Fauxbroidery puff activation requires temperatures that damage silk. The substrate is incompatible with this transfer type.
Use This Instead
The combination of heat required for puff activation and the light pressure needed to protect silk creates contradictory requirements. Standard DTF at minimal temperature is the only recommended transfer for silk.
