1. Position Your Transfer Correctly
Place your transfer exactly where you want the design to appear. Avoid placing it over large wrinkles or seams. For tricky surfaces like hats or when using a home iron, use heat-resistant tape to hold the transfer in place—especially helpful as you gain more experience.
2. Press with Precision
Set your heat press to 310°F (155°C) and apply medium to firm pressure for 13 seconds.
We recommend testing on a sample garment first.
✔️ Use a Silicone Upper Platen Cover or Garment Protector to shield the fabric from direct heat.
⚠️ DTF transfers can handle extra heat and pressure—but your garment might not. If scorching occurs, reduce pressure first. If needed, lower temperature by 10–15°F and test again. A little trial and error will help you find the perfect settings for each fabric type.
3. Peel While Hot (or Cool)
Thanks to our Easy Peel Technology, you can peel hot or cool.
Wait a few seconds after pressing, then peel confidently.
If parts of the design lift or stick, simply place the film back down and re-press with increased pressure and heat (+15°F). Repeat if necessary—DTF prints won't be damaged by multiple presses.
4. Final Press = Superior Quality
Unlike many other providers, we recommend a final press after peeling.
Why? Because we've tested it—a second press dramatically improves softness, durability, and reduces shine.
✅ After peeling, cover the design with parchment paper or a thin cotton layer (like a T-shirt scrap) and press again for ~15 seconds.
✨ Want a glossy finish instead? Use a guard sheet for the second press.
Washing Instructions
For best longevity:
Wash inside out, cold water
Hang dry or tumble dry on low
Standard settings are okay, but delicate cycles extend the life of your print
