Substrate Compatibility
Can I Use UV DTF Transfers on Hoodies / Sweatshirts (Fleece)?
UV DTF is not compatible with fleece hoodies and sweatshirts. Fleece fabric is a flexible, porous textile substrate that UV-cured adhesive cannot bond to. Standard DTF is the correct and highly reliable choice for all fleece garments.
Why This Combination Does Not Work
Fleece is a porous, flexible knit textile. UV DTF requires non-porous rigid surfaces.
Use This Instead
UV DTF is for hard goods only. Fleece, despite its structural feel, is a knit textile that is incompatible with UV DTF adhesive chemistry.
