1. Procolored DTF PreTreat Transfer Roll Film 8.2 Inch x 328 FT——fit for A4 DTF Printer
Product overview
The Procolored DTF PreTreat Transfer Roll Film is a PET-based transfer film supplied as an 8.2-inch (21 cm) wide, 328-foot (100 m) roll for A4-width direct-to-film printing. Procolored lists compatibility with A4-size DTF printers including its F8 and K8 models. This is a consumable for a DTF workflow, not a printer, ink set, heat press or complete transfer kit.
Key Specifications
- Compatibility: Compatible printer: Apply to all DTF printers of A4 printing size, including F8, K8.
- Size: 8.2 × 328 in FT (21cm*100meter)
- Outlined: DTF PET Transfer Film Roll - work with all DTF printers utilizing DTF ink and DTF Transfer Film Powder
Film Type and Workflow
The product listing describes a single-sided, cold-peel PET film that is used with DTF inks and transfer adhesive powder. In a normal DTF process, the design is printed onto the coated film, adhesive powder is applied and cured, the image is transferred using a heat press, and the carrier is peeled according to the film instructions. Confirm the printable/coated side and the correct peel timing before committing to a batch.
Dimensions and Press Settings
The manufacturer gives the roll size as 8.2 inches by 328 feet (21 cm by 100 m). Its product information lists a transfer temperature of 150–160°C and 8–12 seconds. Treat these as a starting point from this specific listing: actual instructions may vary with fabric, ink, powder and curing equipment. The listing conflicts with itself on thickness, describing both 0.1 mm and 75 microns; ask Procolored to confirm the exact current lot specification if thickness matters to your workflow.
Compatible Equipment and Fabrics
Procolored says the film is for A4-size DTF printers, including F8 and K8, and mentions flat textile surfaces such as garments and other textile decor. Other machines may require different feed widths, coatings or operating settings. The manufacturer's compatibility statement is not a guarantee for every third-party printer, ink, powder or fabric; confirm the precise setup before ordering.
Storage, Shelf Life and Handling
The listing states an 18-month shelf life and recommends dry storage away from direct sunlight. Keep the film clean, avoid touching the coated surface and follow the merchant's storage instructions. The seller describes strong ink absorption, reduced unwanted powder adhesion and easy film separation, but these are product claims rather than independent results measured by TrekReview.
Pros and Trade-offs
- Reasons to consider it: a long 100 m roll in A4-compatible width, disclosed cold-peel film type and clearly listed Procolored F8/K8 compatibility.
- Practical trade-offs: film is only one component of a DTF transfer workflow; quality also depends on ink, powder, curing, pressing and fabric selection.
- Check before ordering: printer feed width, coating orientation, cold-peel process, thickness discrepancy, return eligibility and total delivered cost.
Verdict: A sensible product to shortlist if you already have a suitable A4 DTF workflow and need a long PET transfer-film roll. It is not a complete beginner bundle; verify the exact materials and pressing workflow with Procolored before purchasing.

Buying Notes
Match the roll width, coated side and cold-peel process to your exact machine, ink and powder. Procolored's listed 150–160°C for 8–12 seconds is a starting specification, not a universal setting. The product page contains conflicting film-thickness measurements; contact the merchant if gauge affects your process.
Transit is typically described as 3–7 business days; import duties and VAT may be extra.
Sale items and some consumables may be excluded; confirm film-specific eligibility before opening.
Consult the merchant for defects, lot specifications or replacement eligibility.
Final Verdict
A long A4-width PET transfer film roll to consider for a compatible Procolored F8/K8 or other confirmed A4 DTF workflow. Cold-peel instructions, machine compatibility and the merchant's conflicting thickness numbers require attention.
FAQ
What size is the Procolored A4 DTF PreTreat Transfer Roll Film?
The manufacturer lists an 8.2-inch (21 cm) width and a 328-foot (100 m) roll length. Confirm whether your exact A4 printer and feed setup support this roll.
Which Procolored DTF printers are listed as compatible?
The official listing names A4-size DTF printers including the Procolored F8 and K8. For other printers, verify width, film feed, compatible inks and powder, and the printer manufacturer's instructions.
Is this film hot peel or cold peel?
Procolored describes the product as a single-sided cold-peel PET transfer film. Follow the current instructions for coating orientation, curing, pressing and peel timing; do not apply hot-peel instructions without verifying compatibility.
How We Researched
Our review uses the saved Procolored product listing plus the merchant's published shipping and returns information. We have not conducted independent print tests; availability, pricing, fulfillment and offer terms may change.
What This A4 DTF Film Actually Does
Procolored's 8.2-inch PreTreat Transfer Roll Film is a carrier for images printed using DTF ink and adhesive powder, then transferred to textiles with a heat press. Despite the product name, it should not be confused with a fabric pretreatment liquid or an adhesive powder pack. You still need compatible printer equipment, inks, powder, the appropriate curing process and a heat press.
The seller describes the substrate as PET and the film as single-sided cold peel. Always confirm which face is coated, the correct process sequence and whether your machine supports continuous roll feeding.
Sizing, Pressing and Material Compatibility
The roll is listed at 8.2 inches (21 cm) wide and 328 feet (100 m) long. Procolored names A4 printing systems, including the F8 and K8, as compatible examples. The seller also publishes a 150–160°C, 8–12 second heat-transfer setting, which should be verified against your complete ink, powder and fabric workflow.
Important specification discrepancy: the same merchant listing calls the substrate thickness 0.1 mm in one section and 75 microns in another. Both should not be presented as one verified number. Ask the supplier to confirm the current film thickness before purchasing if your machine or process requires a specific gauge.
Compare Options
Only the A4 8.2-inch × 328-foot roll is verified as a product in this review. Rather than invent alternatives, compare film sizes and types against your actual equipment:
- This Procolored A4 roll: best suited to buyers with compatible A4-width DTF printers, including the seller-listed F8 and K8. It is described as single-sided cold-peel PET film.
- Wider DTF film: consider only if your printer accepts the wider feed and the ink/powder/coating specifications match. A larger roll is not automatically usable on A4 printers.
- Different peel types or coatings: confirm whether a listing uses cold peel, hot peel or another coating, since process settings can differ.
Check exact dimensions, film handling, tested substrate combinations, pack quantity and return terms before comparing unit prices across products.
Storage, Handling and Print Consistency
Procolored lists an 18-month shelf life and recommends storing the roll in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Consistency depends on print-side orientation, clean handling, matching supplies and controlled pressing conditions. The seller mentions ink absorption, powder-release behavior and easy separation; these are claims from the product listing, not independent performance-test results.
Before a production run, follow your machine manufacturer's guidance and test settings on a small sample rather than assuming one published temperature works for every garment.
Shipping, Returns and Final Buying Checks
Procolored's shipping policy advertises free shipping to most countries, with exceptions for certain remote locations and checkout-based shipping charges. It describes typical transit times of 3–7 business days, subject to destination, warehouse and other conditions. Import taxes or VAT may be additional.
The published refund policy requires buyers to contact customer support before a return and generally requires items to be unused and in original condition. Sale items may be excluded; eligibility for opened consumables should be confirmed before ordering. Review the current policy and final cart price, not just a promotional headline.
