- IDEAL FOR FASHION & CHILDREN’S APPAREL: Perfect for kids’ clothing, logos, fashion accessories, and any apparel where visual impact and wash durability both matter.

Kern DNH-01 Holographic DTF Film — Entire Hologram Pattern Specialty Transfer Film
Kern DNH-01 Holographic DTF Film is a premium specialty direct-to-film transfer engineered by Kern Fine Materials Co., Ltd. — a Korean material science company specializing in high-performance DTF films for the global fashion and apparel printing market. Unlike commodity DTF films that produce flat single-color prints or small holographic accent areas, DNH-01 delivers an Entire Hologram Pattern across the full surface of your design — bold, eye-catching rainbow reflections that turn every print into a statement piece.
Available as a 24in x 164ft production roll or a 13in x 19in sheet pack of 50, DNH-01 fits both high-volume DTF print shops and small operators producing custom apparel.
What “Entire Hologram Pattern” Actually Means
Most commodity holographic DTF film only produces small accent areas of holographic shimmer — usually around the edges of a design or in specific highlight zones. The result looks underwhelming and barely registers as “holographic” once on apparel.
The DNH-01 is fundamentally different. The holographic pattern covers the ENTIRE surface of your printed design — every visible inch of your graphic shimmers with rainbow holographic reflections. This is what creates the “wow factor” that makes premium fashion brands and children’s apparel pop on the rack and on social media.
How the Embedded Hologram Coating Works
Standard holographic transfers use a separate decorative foil layer that’s heat-bonded on top of the design — that foil cracks, peels, and degrades after a handful of washes. DNH-01 takes a fundamentally different approach: the holographic pattern is bonded INTO the film’s coating layer at the factory, so when you transfer the design, the holographic effect is part of the print itself, not a fragile add-on layer. The result: maintains the holographic effect even after more than 15 washes, with no cracking or peeling.
The DNH-01 workflow uses your standard DTF process:
- Print your design directly onto the DNH-01 film using your DTF printer
- Apply standard DTF adhesive powder for fabric bonding (just like any DTF transfer)
- Cure the powder in your DTF dryer or oven
- Heat press onto your garment
- Cold Peel

What does “Entire Hologram” mean — what makes DNH-01 different from regular holographic DTF?
Most commodity holographic DTF film only produces small accent areas of holographic shimmer — usually around the edges of a design or in specific highlight zones. The DNH-01 is fundamentally different: the holographic pattern covers the ENTIRE surface of your printed design, so every visible inch shimmers with rainbow holographic reflections. This is what creates the “wow factor” that makes premium fashion brands and children’s apparel pop on the rack and on social media.
How many washes will DNH-01 survive?
Kern DNH-01 is engineered to maintain its holographic effect through more than 15 wash cycles — which is significantly better than commodity holographic DTF (typically 3-8 washes before cracking and peeling). The hologram is bonded into the film’s coating layer, not applied as a decorative foil on top, which is why it doesn’t crack or peel like standard holographic transfers. Wash care: turn garment inside out, machine wash cold, no bleach, no fabric softener, hang dry or low tumble dry.
Is DNH-01 truly beginner-friendly?
Yes. DNH-01 is engineered with light Cold peel ability — meaning the carrier film releases easily without the strict timing windows required by most specialty DTF. First-time DTF users can apply DNH-01 cleanly without the “did I peel too soon?” or “did I wait too long?” stress that ruins transfers with other holographic films. Standard DTF training (printer setup, powder application, heat press settings) still applies, but the peeling step itself is much more forgiving.
What heat press settings should I use for Kern DNH-01?
Standard DTF heat press settings work: temperature 290–320°F (145–160°C), press time 8–12 seconds, medium pressure. The DNH-01 uses a light peel — easy enough for beginners with no strict timing window. For maximum durability, do a second 5-second press with a parchment cover sheet after peeling. Always test on a sample piece of your specific fabric before running production.
What DTF printers is Kern DNH-01 compatible with?
Kern DNH-01 is engineered to run on virtually every commercial DTF printer including Brother GTXpro DTF, GTX600, Epson F2270/F570/F2100 in DTF mode, Procolored A3 and wide-format DTF printers, Kingdom DTF, Prestige, Haolic, Punehod, Roland VersaSTUDIO BN-20D, Mimaki TxF150 and TxF300, and any standard 13in, 17in, 24in, or wider DTF printer. Specialty films can have slightly different feed characteristics than standard DTF film, so we recommend running a test sheet before bulk production.
Will the hologram peel off, crack, or fade?
No — that’s the whole reason DNH-01 exists. Standard holographic transfers use a separate decorative foil layer that’s heat-bonded on top of the design — that foil cracks, peels, and degrades after a handful of washes. DNH-01 takes a fundamentally different approach: the holographic pattern is bonded INTO the film’s coating layer at the factory, so when you transfer the design, the holographic effect is part of the print itself, not a fragile add-on layer. It maintains the holographic effect through 15+ wash cycles without cracking or peeling.
Can I use Kern DNH-01 for children’s clothing?
Yes — children’s clothing is one of the ideal applications for DNH-01. Kids love holographic shimmer (it’s an automatic visual draw on retail shelves and in social media), and the 15+ wash durability handles the constant laundry abuse children’s clothing goes through. The bonded hologram coating means no glitter or foil flakes can come off the garment — important for safety on younger kids’ apparel.
What fabrics does Kern DNH-01 work on?
Kern DNH-01 works on cotton, polyester, cotton-poly blends, nylon, lycra/spandex, leather, denim, and most synthetic athletic fabrics. The 15+ wash durability test was conducted on standard cotton apparel — durability on other fabrics is comparable but always run a test print before running production on unfamiliar materials.

Yes. Buffalo Imaging is an authorized Kern dealer for the United States. All Kern DNH-01 inventory is shipped directly from Kern Fine Materials Co., Ltd. (Korean parent company with manufacturing in Suzhou, China) — not gray-market resellers, not counterfeit clones, not generic holographic DTF rebranded as Kern.
