Substrate Compatibility
Can I Use UV DTF Transfers on Fleece (Cotton/Poly)?
UV DTF is not compatible with fleece fabric. The soft, pile surface of fleece prevents UV-cured adhesive from achieving contact with enough surface area for a durable bond. DTF is the standard and correct transfer choice for fleece garments.
Why This Combination Does Not Work
Fleece's pile surface prevents UV DTF adhesive from forming adequate contact for bonding.
Use This Instead
The textured, raised surface of fleece creates air gaps between the substrate and the UV adhesive, preventing a proper bond. Stick with standard DTF for all fleece substrates.
