Color Prime Quick Glide DTF Film
Color Prime's instant-peel DTF transfer film: 83 µm with a matte print side, documented on the brand's own page and on its retail partner DTF Station's listing — whose application guidance differs slightly and is recorded here side by side.
What it is
Transfer film for direct-to-film printing, in sheets and rolls: artwork prints onto the matte coated side, takes hot-melt adhesive powder, cures, and heat-presses onto garments with an instant peel — Color Prime's page says to peel while hot, with no wait.
Quick Glide is a Color Prime product — the brand describes itself as the creator of Chroma Ink, Quick Glide Film and Flex Powder — sold through retail partners including DTF Station.
Who it may be relevant for: Sheet-fed DTF shops printing on desktop and platen DTF printers.

Checklist
DTF production checklist
A start-to-finish run sheet for DTF transfer production: printer condition, RIP setup, powder and cure, press parameters, and post-press checks — the routine that keeps transfers washable and colours consistent.
