When working with DTF gang sheets, one of the most common questions is whether to use hot peel or cold peel film. Both methods have their own advantages, and knowing the difference helps you achieve the best results for your prints.

Saves time for large batch printing

Best for: Businesses that need speed and efficiency in their workflow.
❄️ Cold Peel DTF
-
What it is: The film is left to cool down after pressing, then peeled off.
-
Advantages:

-
Best for: High-quality custom printing where durability is the priority.
✅ Which One Should You Choose?
If speed matters most, hot peel is the right choice. If durability and maximum adhesion are your priority, go with cold peel. Many businesses use both depending on the project, since DTF transfers and gang sheets work well with either method.
