How to Press DTF Transfers

1. Prep Your Garment

  • Make sure it’s clean and flat.
  • Pre-press for 10 seconds to remove moisture.

 

2. Cut Off Colour Strip

  • Don’t forget to trim the coloured edge before pressing — or it will transfer onto the garment!

 

3. Place Your Transfer

  • White side faces down onto the garment (design side touches the fabric).
  • The clear film side faces up — you should be able to see the design through it.
  • Use heat tape if needed.

 

4. First Press

  • Temp: 150°C
  • Time: 15 sec
  • Pressure: Medium to Firm
  • Cover with a Teflon sheet or baking paper.

 

5. PEELING (HOT PEEL)

Instant Hot Peel:

• Peel the film while it’s still hot, right after opening the press.

 

6. Second Press (Recommended)

  • Cover again and press for another 15 sec to seal the print.
  • For a pro finish, use a blank white canvas instead of Teflon — it helps remove excess glue.

 

Care Tips

  • Wash inside out, cold wash only.
  • No bleach or dryer.
  • Hang dry for best results.

Storage Tips

  • Keep transfers flat in a cool, dry, airtight spot.
  • Avoid dust, moisture, or folding.
