Special Films for M1630 PRO DTF Printer

DTF heat-transfer printing continues to gain popularity in apparel customization thanks to its simple workflow, long-lasting prints, and broad fabric compatibility.

As a cost-effective DTF printer, the M1630 PRO DTF Printer works with our four exclusive special-effect DTF films to deliver diverse creative visual effects and push beyond conventional flat printing.

This article covers the four special films compatible with the M1630 PRO, including film overviews, heat-press parameters, cold-peel guidelines, and real-world application scenarios.

1. What Are Special DTF Films for M1630 PRO?

Standard DTF films support basic solid-color or full-color pattern transfers. Our four custom-developed special films for the M1630 PRO incorporate special functional materials into regular transfer films to create four unique effects: angle-dependent rainbow color shifts, luxurious metallic gold foil, premium pearlescent shimmer, and glow-in-the-dark output.

With the M1630 PRO’s print resolution, ink compatibility, and temperature-control system, no hardware modification is required. Simply swap film rolls for production to reduce sampling costs for new projects.

Our four special DTF films include:

• Glow-in-the-Dark DTF Film
• Pearlescent White DTF Film
• Gold Foil Effect DTF Film
• Rainbow Effect DTF Film

2. Film Overviews, Heat-Press Parameters, and Application Scenarios

Transfer Settings Overview

Rainbow Effect DTF Film

Compatible Fabrics: 100% cotton and blended textiles. Ideal for trendy streetwear and festival apparel, with excellent results for rich multicolor gradient designs.

Key Features: Creates multi-angle color-shift effects. No white-ink reduction is needed. The print displays flowing rainbow-spectrum colors as the viewing angle changes.

Wash Care Instructions

1. Wait 24 hours after heat transfer before the first wash.
2. Wash garments inside out with cold water.
3. The original wash-test specification states that the print withstands two separate 15-minute wash cycles.
4. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
5. Never iron directly on the printed surface.

Gold Foil Effect DTF Film

Compatible Fabrics: 100% cotton and hard-surface textiles. Great for premium custom merchandise and jerseys, especially when paired with warm-toned or yellow-based graphics.

Key Features: Produces mirror-like, luxurious metallic gold finishes. Lowering RIP white-ink density to 60% is critical. Excessive white ink can cover the metallic reflection and compromise the foil effect.

Wash Care Instructions

1. Wait 24 hours after heat transfer before the first wash.
2. Wash garments inside out with cold water.
3. The film offers outstanding color fastness, with prints that resist peeling and flaking.
4. Do not use bleach or harsh laundry additives.
5. Never iron directly on the printed surface.

Pearlescent White DTF Film

Compatible Fabrics: 100% premium cotton. Recommended for white or light-toned artwork, especially large solid-fill patterns.

Key Features: Creates a delicate, high-end pearlescent shimmer. Reducing RIP white-ink density to 70% is essential to allow the pearlescent base to shine through your design.

Wash Care Instructions

1. Wait 24 hours after heat transfer before the first wash.
2. Wash garments inside out with cold water.
3. Avoid heavy pulling or stretching over printed areas.
4. Do not use bleach or strong fabric softeners.
5. Never iron directly on the printed surface.

Glow-in-the-Dark DTF Film

Compatible Fabrics: 100% cotton and cotton-blend materials. Suitable for T-shirts, hoodies, pajamas, and various bags.

Key Features: To activate the glow, expose the finished transfer to sunlight, UV light, or strong bright light for several minutes. The graphic will then emit a bright green glow in dark surroundings.

Wash Care Instructions

1. Wait 24 hours after heat transfer before the first wash.
2. Wash garments inside out with cold water.
3. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
4. Never iron directly on the printed graphic.
5. Avoid frequent heavy scrubbing over printed sections.

3. Core Advantages of Pairing M1630 PRO with Special-Effect Films

1. Plug-and-Print Compatibility: The printer natively supports these four special-effect DTF films without equipment modification. Fast film-roll switching makes it easy to handle diverse small-batch custom orders.
2. Stable Printing Performance: The M1630 PRO’s ink supply and temperature-control system helps reduce ink pooling and ink drop-off during special-film printing for a higher finished-product yield.
3. Flexible Production Capacity: Supports everything from small-batch online-store sampling to higher-volume production for small-to-medium print factories.

4. General Operation Tips for All Four Films

1. Always use cold peel. Allow the transferred film to cool completely before removing the PET liner.
2. Adjust white-ink output correctly. Reduce white-ink output to 60% for Gold Foil and 70% for Pearlescent White films.
3. Test before production. Always run sample tests before full-scale production.
4. Follow the wash-care guidelines. Wash all special-effect prints inside out in cold water. Never iron directly on printed surfaces.
