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.

Can I iron over the print?

No. Always iron the garment inside-out, or place a protective cloth between the iron and the print.

Can I dry clean my NOOBDE t-shirt?

No. Dry cleaning is not recommended for DTF printed garments.
