Description
Photographic-Quality DTF Film — Engineered in Italy, Built for Sustainability
Coveme KTR DTF Film is manufactured by Coveme S.p.A. — an Italian specialty film manufacturer with over 60 years of precision manufacturing experience. The KTR film delivers photographic-quality color reproduction, excellent flexibility, and a unique soft peach-touch feel while being one of the most eco-conscious DTF film options on the market. Free of formaldehyde, phthalates, and chrome stearates — hazardous substances found in many competing DTF films.
What Makes Coveme KTR Different
KTR film is manufactured without formaldehyde, phthalates, or chrome stearates. A responsible choice for shops focused on operator health and environmental standards. KTR ECO versions are made from recycled polyester (rPET).
Consistent ink absorption layer delivers sharp detail, vivid color saturation, and smooth gradients that approach photographic quality — ideal for photo-realistic and detail-intensive designs.
The permanent matte finish has a unique soft ‘peach-touch’ texture that makes finished transfers feel premium and professional — a tactile quality customers notice.
Advanced release coating supports both immediate hot peel and cold peel workflows, giving shops flexibility to optimize for speed or surface finish.
Balanced at 75 microns — thick enough for durable production handling, flexible enough for strong adhesion and a soft transfer feel on garments.
Available in a version made from recycled polyester (rPET) for shops that want to maximize sustainability in their DTF supply chain without sacrificing quality.
Who Is Coveme KTR For?

Photo-realistic designs on any fabric. KTR’s peach-touch finish gives transfers a premium, boutique feel.
Formaldehyde-free, phthalate-free manufacturing — and rPET versions available for further sustainability.
