Kennen hot melt powder for DTF, white or black, in 250 grams or 1 kilo: premium adhesive thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that bonds the ink to the garment with maximum adhesion and a soft feel.
It improves coverage and helps you optimize the white ink load. Easy to work with, with maximum adhesion to the garment and ink, and fast release from film or paper: excellent performance in both hot and cold peel.
White or black?
- White: the general-purpose powder, for light and dark garments.
- Black: designed for black garments and sublimated garments. It has two advantages of its own: it makes colors stand out on black garments, and it prevents dye migration, stopping the color of a sublimated garment from bleeding into the print.
Sizes
- 250 grams: to get started or for small jobs.
- 1 kilo: for those who print often.

Why DTF
- More color than transfer: DTF inks are designed from the start to print on fabric.
- More economical: DTF costs much less per garment and per cm² than textile transfer.
- Screen-print feel: the hot melt only bonds where there is print, and the rest of the garment keeps the feel of the fiber.
- Better wash resistance: the ink is absorbed inside the polymerized structure of the hot melt.
- White on demand: with the same film you print light and dark garments.
- Almost any fabric: cotton, polyester, modal, linen or silk are all worked the same way, unlike sublimation.
- Higher UV resistance than regular sublimation inks.
For the best result, combine it with Kennen Inks German DTF ink, whose white needs much less shaking than others.
