PRESSING INSTRUCTIONS
DTF Transfers
PRE-PRESS Pre-press the garment for 5 seconds before applying the image. This step removes wrinkles and any moisture trapped in the fabric.
Please note: Heat press settings can vary by machine. Below are general guidelines, but we recommend ordering a few extra designs for testing if this is your first time ordering from us. A household iron will not work with these transfers.
1ST PRESS 1st Press: Set your heat press to 300-310°F and apply medium pressure for 10-15 seconds with the image in place. Some experimenting may be necessary to achieve optimal results.
Peel Cold: Allow the transfer to cool completely before removing the film. Rubbing the film with a cloth can help.
2ND PRESS 2nd Press: Cover the transfer with Teflon for a shiny finish or parchment paper for a matte finish. Press at 300-310°F with medium pressure for 5-10 seconds.
Note: Firm and even pressure is crucial for proper adhesion. Avoid pressing over pockets, seams, buttons, zippers, etc.
Polyester/Blend Fabric: Reduce the temperature to 300-310°F and shorten the press time to 3-8 seconds, as these fabrics absorb heat more quickly. You can press multiple times if needed.
100% Polyester: Lower the temperature to 250-285°F and press for 3-8 seconds. This fabric may require some tweaking to find the best settings. Allow the fabric to cool between presses if multiple presses are needed.
