DTF Film

Buy Premium-quality Film That Doesn’t Go Bad Easily 

Cheetah DTF film is built for shops that hate wasted prints. It’s a hot-peel PET film with a matte coating that holds ink sharp and releases clean at 320°F. No static, no fogging, no curling in your shaker. Whether you run 20 shirts or 2,000, this film keeps colors dense and edges crisp. Explore the collection below and match your printer to the right thickness.

And it’s tested on every Platonink DTF Printer we sell. We run pull tests, wash tests, and shaker stress tests in-house before a roll ever ships. At 75-micron, it balances flexibility with stability, so your underbase stays flat and your powder melts even. You’re not guessing with cheap rolls from Amazon. You’re loading film that our own techs use daily in our  print room.

24" Hot Peel DTF Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $70.00 USD

The shop standard.
Peel while warm for fast production. Matte finish cuts glare so your colors read true. Smooth coating means clean white layers and no pinholes. This works well because hot peel lets you press, peel, and stack — no waiting.

Run it if you’re doing bulk runs and hate bottlenecks.

24" Instant Peel DTF Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $76.00 USD

Peel in 3 seconds.
No cooling rack. No timer. Press, lift, next shirt. Coating releases clean even on heavy white. We run this on auto powder units because speed matters. One roll = roughly 328 ft.

Get it if your bottleneck is peel time.

24" UV DTF AB Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $199.00 USD

For hard goods, not tees.
A-film for print, B-film for transfer. Works on mugs, glass, acrylic, wood, phone cases. High tack, no stretch, clean edges. UV DTF needs this exact film — don’t try regular DTF film. It won’t stick.

Buy it if you run a UV DTF printer for tumblers and signage.

17" UV DTF AB Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $169.00 USD

Same AB setup, smaller width.
Fits 13" and 17" UV printers. Perfect for stickers, pens, and small logos. Less waste on short runs. Same tack, same clean release as the 24".

Pick this if you’re not running 24" wide yet.

24" Glow in the Dark DTF Film (Luminous)

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $260.00 USD

Charge it with light, it glows for hours.
Luminous layer prints under your color. Works on any dark shirt. Charge 30 sec with your phone light and it’s bright. Holds glow through 40+ washes. Kids and rave wear love it.

Stock it if you do event merch or Halloween drops.

24" Gold DTF Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $230.00 USD

Real metallic, not yellow ink.
Reflective gold layer shows through your design. Makes logos and text pop without foil. Press at 300°F so you don’t dull it. Hand wash only — this is for premium drops.

Add it if you want to upsell luxury prints.

12" UV DTF AB Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $199.00 USD

Desktop UV DTF size.
For A3 and smaller UV printers. Same pro-grade tack and release as 24". Great for testing or short sticker runs. Don’t buy 24" and slit it — the edge curl kills you.

Use it if you run a small UV setup.

17" Instant Peel DTF Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $63.00 USD

Instant peel for 17" printers.
Fits L1800 and smaller converted units. Same 3-second peel, same matte finish as 24". Less waste if you’re not printing 24" wide.

Order it if you’re running small-format DTF.

24" Cold Peel DTF Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $85.00 USD

Let it cool, then peel.
Glossy finish gives deeper blacks and wet-look colors. Best for detailed art and photos. Needs 30–45 sec cool time, but the color payoff is real. We use this for brand work where finish matters.

Run it if your customers care about vibrancy over speed.

24" Glitter DTF Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $365.00 USD

Actual glitter layer, not speckled ink.
Prints sparkle through your design. Holds up wash after wash. Looks expensive because it is. Press at 295°F to keep the glitter from flattening. Kids, cheer, and dance teams pay extra for this.

Get it if you want $40 shirt margins.

24" Reflective DTF Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $445.00 USD

Safety-rated reflectivity.
Shows silver in daylight, lights up white under flash. Passes ANSI for workwear. Use it for fire, EMS, construction, or streetwear. Needs tight white control — heavy white kills reflectivity.

Stock it if you do safety or high-vis contracts.

31.5" Instant Peel DTF Film

Vendor: Cheetah DTF
Regular price: $125.00 USD

Go wide.
For 32" industrial printers. Instant peel means no cooling conveyor needed. Max width, max speed. One roll covers huge runs with fewer changeovers.

Buy it if you’re running production-level DTF.

Why Shops Buy Film From Cheetah DTF

1. Coating matters more than price

Cheap film gives you pinholes, oily whites, and curl. You’ll waste $70 in ink and shirts to save $10 on film. Our coating is dialed for XP-600 and i3200 heads — clean spray, no misting.

2. Peel type changes your workflow

Hot peel = speed. Cold peel = gloss. Instant = no thinking. Pick wrong and you’ll add 20 sec per shirt. On 200 shirts, that’s an hour gone. We label it clear so you don’t guess.

3. Specialty film sells for more

Glow, glitter, gold, reflective — these aren’t gimmicks. Shops charge $8–$15 more per shirt and customers pay it. One roll of glitter can net $1,200 extra. Stock one and test it.

And yeah, we ship fast. Downtime costs more than film.

How to Choose the Right Film for Your Project

High-volume apparel shops

Run 24" or 31.5" Hot Peel or Instant Peel. Speed is money. Keep Cold Peel for premium jobs.

UV DTF printers

You need AB film. 12", 17", or 24" depending on your machine. Don’t run apparel DTF film;  it won’t transfer.

Custom shops & brands

Keep Gold, Glow, Glitter, and Reflective on hand. When a customer asks, you say yes and charge more. Waiting to order kills the upsell.

Startups & small printers

Start with 17" or 24" Instant Peel. It’s forgiving. Add Cold Peel once you dial in your press. Don’t start with specialty; learn the basics first.

Don’t Let Film Be Your Fail Point

At Cheetah DTF, we bring premium inks and powder tested daily on real print jobs. Colors stay bright, white stays opaque, and powder bonds without cracking. Fast shipping, fair prices, and real support from people who run printers. No guesswork. No clogged heads.
