COBRAFLEX Powderless DTF: The Game-Changer of Heat Transfers!
Are you tired of the mess and inconvenience of traditional DTF printing? Look no further than the COBRAFLEX Powderless DTF machine! This revolutionary technology is changing the game for heat transfer printing, and we're here to give you an inside look.
What is Powderless DTF?
Powderless DTF, or Direct to Film, is a printing method that eliminates the need for messy powders. Instead, the COBRAFLEX machine uses a liquid adhesive that is sprayed directly onto the transfer film, creating a dot-for-dot application. This allows for half-tones and a more precise transfer.

The machine comes with a computer, software, and a drying unit, making it a complete solution for your heat transfer needs.
Lightning-Fast Heat Pressing
One of the standout features of the COBRAFLEX is its incredibly fast heat pressing time. On cotton shirts, the transfer can be applied in just three seconds! This is thanks to the machine's precision and the use of a pneumatic heat press, which applies the perfect amount of pressure for a flawless transfer.
Versatility and Durability
The COBRAFLEX can handle a variety of materials, including 100% polyester, which requires no pre-pressing. The transfers are also incredibly durable, with some cotton shirts lasting up to 40+ washes. The key to this durability is in the heat pressing process, which is why investing in a high-quality heat press is crucial.
