Hot-peel film.

DTF transfer film peeled straight off the press, still hot

DTF transfer film built to come off the garment immediately after pressing, while it is still hot, where cold-peel film has to cool first. Peel a cold-peel film hot and it lifts ink with the backing; let a hot-peel film cool and the release turns unpredictable. Film behavior differs by supplier, so a film swap means a test press before the run, not a reject pile after it.
