Substrate Compatibility
Can I Use Foil DTF Transfers on Ceramic / Porcelain?
Foil DTF transfers are not compatible with ceramic. Ceramic cannot be heat-pressed and the foil adhesive requires fabric fiber bonding. UV DTF wraps with metallic color options are the appropriate alternative for decorating ceramic surfaces.
Why This Combination Does Not Work
Ceramic is a rigid hard good that cannot be heat-pressed. Foil DTF requires textile fiber bonding.
Use This Instead
UV DTF wraps can include metallic and foil-effect designs that provide the metallic aesthetic on ceramic without any heat pressing.
