DTF TRANSFER INSTRUCTIONS:

Essential Equipment

  • Heat Press Machine
  • Direct-to-Film (DTF) Transfers
  • Garment for Transfer
  • Teflon Sheet or Parchment Paper (Optional)

Step 1: Preparing the heat press

Configure your heat press temperature within the range of 285-325 degrees Fahrenheit.

This temperature spectrum is optimal for most DTF transfers, ensuring a robust bond without causing any harm to the transfer or the garment.

Set the Pressure to a medium firm setting.

Suggested Settings:

Cotton: 280 - 325°F - 10-15 Seconds

50/50 Blends: 300 - 325°F 10-15 Seconds

Synthetic & Polyester Fabrics: 280 -300°F - 10-15 Seconds

This may require some testing to achieve your ideal settings.

Step 2: Pre-Press of Garment

Place your chosen garment on the heat press. Pre-Press the garment for 5-7 seconds.

This initial pre-press removes any moisture from the garment to give optimal results of the DTF Transfer.

Step 3: First Press of DTF Transfer

Carefully position the DTF transfer in your desired location on the garment.

Press the garment for 10 -15 seconds; this initial first press firmly secures the transfer onto the fabric.

Step 4: Peeling

Gently peel off the film from the transfer either cold or warm. This crucial step unveils the vibrant design on your garment. Alternatively, you can opt for a cold peel!

*If the transfer does not fully release from the film carefully press for another quick press, put aside and peel cold.

Step 5: Second Press (Optional, yet Recommended)

For enhanced durability and a smoother finish, lay a Teflon sheet or parchment paper over the transferred design. Press again for an additional 5-7 seconds.

This second press reinforces the bond, ensuring the transfer is thoroughly integrated with the garment.

Step 6: Final Touch

Retrieve the garment from the press and allow it to cool.

Your DTF transfer Garment is now ready!

Success Tips!

  3. Uniform Pressure: Guarantee that your press applies consistent pressure across the entire transfer to avoid uneven results.
