DTF Heat Transfer Peeling & Bubbling in Humid Weather? Try Our New Moisture-Resistant Heat Transfer Film to Solve It All!

Many printing workshops and factories in humid regions, especially during rainy seasons or in coastal areas, often face a frustrating problem:

DTF heat transfers tend to peel, bubble, or have uneven colors during pressing.

This not only affects the print quality but also increases rework and costs. So, why does this happen and how can it be avoided?

1. Why Does DTF Heat Transfer Peel and Bubble in Humid Weather?

  1. Moisture Penetrates the Film Surface
    In humid conditions, the transfer film absorbs moisture from the air, reducing the adhesion between the ink layer and the film.

  2. Changes in Ink Surface Tension
    DTF ink contains a high proportion of pigment and oil-based components, which react poorly with moisture and cause "oil bleeding."

  3. Water Vapor Expansion During Heat Pressing
    Residual moisture inside the film evaporates during heat pressing, forming bubbles that ruin the smoothness of the print.


2. Common Solutions (But Not Perfect)

  • Use air conditioning or dehumidifiers to reduce indoor humidity

  • Preheat the transfer film before pressing to remove moisture

  • Use silicone sheets for a second press to remove bubbles

These methods help but require strict environmental control and extra labor, affecting efficiency.

3. The Ultimate Solution — Moisture-Resistant Heat Transfer Film

To ensure stable print quality in any weather, we have developed a new generation moisture-resistant heat transfer film, specially designed for humid and hot environments.

Key Advantages:

  1. Professional Moisture-Resistant Coating
    Uses nano moisture-blocking technology to effectively prevent moisture from penetrating the film surface.

  2. Stable DTF Ink Adhesion
    The moisture-resistant layer perfectly bonds with the DTF ink, preventing oil bleeding or delamination caused by humidity.

  3. Reduced Bubbling Risk
    Even in high humidity, the film remains smooth and flat after heat pressing.

  4. Compatible with Various Heat Transfer Processes
    Works well with DTF, heat transfer, and special effects printing.

  5. Improves Production Efficiency
    No need for extra dehumidification or second pressing, saving labor and time.


4. Real Test Data

In an environment with 85% relative humidity, our moisture-resistant heat transfer film still achieves:

  • 0% oil bleeding rate

  • 0% visible bubble rate

  • 98% color accuracy


5. Conclusion

Humid weather shouldn’t be a nightmare for heat transfer printing.
Choose our Moisture-Resistant Heat Transfer Film to keep every print vibrant, smooth, and perfectly adhered — no matter rainy seasons or coastal humidity.
