Frequently asked questions
Will the DTF print crack?
High-quality DTF prints are designed to stay flexible and durable. Following the recommended care instructions helps maximise their lifespan.
Will the print fade?
The print is made for long-lasting colour retention. Repeated washing with hot water, bleach or harsh detergents may reduce its lifespan.
Can I tumble dry my t-shirt?
Yes, but only on a low heat setting. Air drying is recommended for the longest print life.
