Do UV DTF Transfers have a background?

No. Only your design is transferred, with no sticker edge or visible film. The cured ink and adhesive of the UV DTF Transfer are the artwork.


Just your design, nothing else

UV DTF Transfers apply only your printed artwork. The ink is transferred onto the surface with no vinyl, no base film and no sticker border.

What it looks like

Once applied, it looks like the design was printed directly on the item, with a slightly raised surface. It's a clean finish with no visible carrier material.

Good for

  • Intricate shapes

  • Cut-out letters

  • Designs with several separate elements

Worth knowing

If your design has a lot of transparent areas, you can feel the edges of the ink.
