A: For standard DTF hot-melt powder film: 110–130°C, 2–4 minutes. Increase time for heavy powder coverage. Reduce temperature for thin films. Actual results vary by film brand and ambient temperature. Always run small test samples first.
A: Do NOT stack films. Stacking prevents heat penetration and leads to incomplete curing. You may place multiple pieces flat with gaps between each film.
A: Opening the lid during operation is not recommended. It causes major heat loss and may result in burns from hot steam. If you must open it, wear heat-resistant gloves.
A: Yes, this is normal. Internal high heat transfers to the housing. Do not touch hot surfaces. Keep minimum 15 cm clearance around all sides. Never block ventilation openings.
A: Always power off and wait for full cooling before maintenance.
• Regularly wipe away powder and paper debris inside the chamber. Powder buildup shortens heater and fan service life.
• Do NOT rinse the machine with water. Use dry or slightly damp cloth only.
• Keep intake and exhaust vents unobstructed.
A: Under room-temperature conditions, reaching 120°C takes roughly 5–8 minutes. Cold environments lengthen pre-heat time. Load films only after target temperature is reached.
A: Allow cured film to cool down before heat transfer. Hot film applied directly tends to cause bubbling and poor adhesion.
