DTF Transfers Pressing Instructions

To ensure your DTF transfer looks professionally pressed every time, follow these five simple steps:

1. No Need To Pre-Press Or Pre-Iron: Removing moisture is unnecessary. Only do a pre-press if you so desire.

2. Position Your Design: Take your time to line up your transfer in the desired location on your item. Normally, there is no need to use heat-resistant tape on flat heat presses to keep your design in place, however it is highly recommended when pressing transfers onto hats or when using an iron to keep the transfer in place. You’ll get a feel for when this is needed.

3. Press: Press your transfer with medium pressure at 275-300°F / 155-148°C for 15 seconds. You cannot damage the transfer by pressing with more heat, pressure, or time -- within reason. However, too much heat can damage your garment, so test first and use parchment paper or a protective guard sheet to protect your garment from a direct iron.

4. Hot Peel: After pressing, you can immediately peel warm transfers by lifting a corner.

5. Final Press & Wash Instructions: Place a parchment paper or a single layer of t-shirt material over the design and press again for 15 seconds to soften the design, increase durability, and remove shine. If you want a shiny finish, cover with a protective guard sheet for the final press. When washing, flip shirt inside out, wash on cold and dry using low heat or hang.
