Substrate Compatibility
Can I Use UV DTF Transfers on Velvet / Velour?
UV DTF will not bond to velvet or velour. The pile surface prevents the UV-cured adhesive from achieving contact with the actual fabric base. Standard DTF with a pressing pillow is the appropriate option for velvet substrates.
Why This Combination Does Not Work
Velvet's pile surface prevents UV DTF adhesive from contacting the fabric base.
Use This Instead
UV DTF requires a smooth, flat surface for adhesion. Velvet's pile makes this impossible. Even standard DTF is challenging on velvet.
