DTF Transfer Application Instructions

1. Preheat the Heat Press: Set your heat press to the recommended temperature for DTF transfers (typically 300–325°F). Preheating ensures consistent and even heat distribution.

2. Pre-Press the Garment: Press the garment for a few seconds before applying the transfer. This removes any excess moisture and smooths the fabric, helping the transfer adhere properly for a longer-lasting finish.

3. Position the Transfer: Place the transfer in the desired location, making sure the garment is flat and wrinkle-free. Wrinkles can cause uneven adhesion and a distorted final design.

4. Use a Teflon Sheet: Cover the transfer with a Teflon sheet to protect both the garment and your heat press.

5. Press the Transfer: Apply heat and pressure according to the recommended settings. The typical pressure range is 30–60 PSI (medium to firm).

6. Peel the Transfer:

• Hot Peel: Carefully peel immediately after pressing.

• Cool Peel: Allow the transfer to cool for a few seconds before peeling. Peel slowly from a corner, pulling low and along the garment rather than lifting straight up.

7. Final Press: After removing the film, press the garment again for about 10 seconds. This helps remove any shine and gives the design a softer, more natural feel.

8. Avoid Overheating: Excessive heat can dull colors or warp the design. Stick to recommended settings.

Troubleshooting: If any part of the image does not transfer completely, repress with the film still in place. For cool peels, allow the transfer to cool again before re-peeling.

Care Instructions:

• Turn garment inside out before washing

• Machine wash cold

• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners

• Do not dry clean or iron directly on the design

• Tumble dry low
