Substrate Compatibility
Can I Use UV DTF Transfers on Canvas / Duck Canvas?
UV DTF transfers do not bond to canvas fabric. Canvas's coarse, flexible textile structure is incompatible with UV-cured adhesive. For canvas bags and accessories, standard DTF is the correct heat-transfer choice.
Why This Combination Does Not Work
Canvas is a flexible, porous textile. UV DTF requires rigid, non-porous surfaces.
Use This Instead
UV DTF is for hard goods. Canvas, despite being a durable fabric, is still a flexible porous textile and cannot accept UV DTF transfers.
