Dae Ha UK’s No.1 Instant Peel Ultra Colour DTF Film promises vivid colours
New HTV options and DTF films using recycled blended polyester, plus Italian-made heat presses
The UK distributor adds: “With the family-owned Korean manufacturer’s commitment to quality and sustainability, Dae Ha is a global leader as the only manufacturer in its field to produce all its HTV and direct-to-film (DTF) films in Class 1,000 Clean Rooms, while using recycled blended polyesters backed up by certification from Control Union.”
Instant-peel DTF film
Dae Ha Korea’s global No.1 Instant Peel Ultra Colour DTF Film “breaks the mould, promising premium quality, stability, and genuine instant hot peel for the softest true colour and ultra-vivid transfers”.
Dae Ha UK comments: “Using 100% Dae Ha advanced coating technology coupled with precision manufacturing, an extensive 12-month development programme has allowed the company to produce an Oeko-Tex-certified DTF film with the highest ink absorption to create the most vivid of transfers, while our specially formulated release coating ensures a genuine instant hot peel on a consistent and stable platform, roll after roll after roll.
“Then factor in energy cost savings during oven curing, at temperatures as low as 75°C, and lower ink and hot melt powder consumption, to further see and feel the Dae Ha difference.”
The film can be combined with the only UK-manufactured DTF ink – by Indie Ink – which is specifically formulated for Dae Ha DTF Film, enhancing the special coatings that are applied to the film. The result is “true colours, maximum opacity and the most vibrant of transfers available”.
New HTV effects
The strength of the HTV market has never been more apparent, despite the hype surrounding DTF printing.
With special effects that just cannot be replicated with DTF films, Dae Ha has introduced 10 new HTVs, and a further 170 colours and patterns within its stable of products, to help expand customer creativity. These have proved fit for French fashion houses and major sportswear brands through to home projects, plus every type of garment decoration in between.
The brand’s best-selling One Flex HTV continues to grow in colours and sales, while the striking Chameleon range has expanded to include Pearl, Spectrum and a stunning Luminous effect. For active/sportswear decoration, the company has introduced the ultimate Stretch Flex and the breathable Mesh Flex HTV for added comfort.
Responsibly sourced
With a strong focus on provenance and responsibility, Dae Ha says that what sets it apart is that all of the HTV and DTF film sold by the company contains raw materials that have been ethically and responsibly sourced, and manufactured by Dae Ha with Environmental ISO 14001:2015 & Quality ISO 9001:2015 certifications.
“With its commitment to quality and innovation, it’s no wonder that Dae Ha has become one of the leading HTV and DTF manufacturers in the UK and Europe market,” points out Dae Ha UK.
