What is a crystal white DTF transfer?

A crystal white DTF transfer is a white-only print on standard DTF film with no CMYK color layer. The white ink is laid down at 100 percent opacity with a micro-feathered edge so it reads crisp and bright on any dark fabric. Transparent areas of your file remain unprinted, so only the white design transfers.

How does crystal white differ from a regular DTF white underbase?

A regular DTF transfer prints a white underbase behind a color layer to make the color render correctly on dark fabric. Crystal white is just the white layer with no color above it. The result is a pure, bright white graphic intended for monochrome logos and text-heavy work on dark substrates.

What fabrics does crystal white work on?

Cotton, polyester, nylon, tri-blends, fleece, and most apparel substrates. It is designed for dark fabric application where pure opaque white needs to read at full contrast. On light fabrics the design still applies but the visual impact is lower than CMYK.

Do I need to prepare a special file for crystal white?

Upload your design with white art on a transparent background. Anything in the file that is meant to print should be set to white. The system processes the file so only the white areas transfer, leaving the rest of the garment untouched.

What press settings does crystal white use?

Same standard DTF settings as our color transfers. 300 to 325 degrees F for 10 to 15 seconds with medium-firm pressure and a warm peel. Cotton and cotton blends press hotter, performance polyester runs cooler.

Is there a minimum order for crystal white transfers?

No minimum. Order one transfer or a hundred at the flat $0.06 per square inch rate. Pre-cut is available for $0.29 per transfer if you want them ready to press without trimming.
